mand Of the armies of the United States /;
relieving Gen. Halleck from his position

Army OF the Potomac, but we infer
from the statement that Grants head
quarters are to be in Washington and in
the field, that he will assume immediate
command of that army with Gen. Smith,
or some other officer of his own sclec
ton, next under him. We trust this
impression may prove correct. because
that army most needs a commander who
will be independent of, AID untiammeled
by, Washington influence. Gen. Grant,
however, will fird in Gen. Leo and lis

any he ever met in the West. Our
prayer is that he may be more successful
