New Military Arrangements.

A Washington special of March 18th,
says, by order Of the President the follow
ing military arrangements have been made
Lt.-Gen. Grant has been assigned to the
command Of all the armies of the U. s.
Gen. Halleck is released from duty as
General-in-C and assigned to special
duty at Washington as Chief Of staff of the
Army. t.
Maj. Gen, Sherman is assigned to the
command OF the division of the Mississippi,
lately commanded by Gen. Grant, and COM
prising the Departments of the Ohio, the
Cumberland the Tennessee and Arkansas.
Maj Gen. Mcpherson is assigned to the
command of the Department of the Ten
nessee, recently commanded by Gen. Sher-
man. .t.
Lit. Gen. Grant will establish his head
quarters in the field, with the respective
armies operating under his personal super
vision.
Gen. W. F. Smith was to-day nominated
for Major-General of Volunteers, as me-
cessary preliminary to his assignment to the
command Of the Army of the Potomac.
The Committee on the Conduct of the
War are investigating the Florida expedi-
tion. The evidence already given establishes
the fact that neither the President nor any
ono else in Washington is responsible for
its disastrous termination.

1T is due to the memory Of Col. Dahlgren
to say that the papers which the Richmond
Journals publish as those found on his body
are, in their present shape, no doubt, for
geries, Possibly there were some memor-
anda, though We can see no occasion for car
rying such, which gave the hint for manu-
featuring these. 1t is equally possible that
the Rebels invented the whole Let us say,
however, that with few exceptions, the
orders, whether real or fictitious, are mill
tary and proper, and are only perverted into
an unworthy meaning by Rebel malignity.
And there is nothing in them to be men,
toned for moment in comparison with the
horrible brutality of the treatment which
the remains ofthis amented officer received.
IL is a savage and barbarous people with
whom We are at war.-[N. Y. Tribune,
