GEN HAscocK-The New Orleans Times, of the
10TH has the following in relation to Gen. Hancock
mission to Washington:
Gen. Hancock has been directed by the President to
report in person at Washington and it is exnected
that he will leave this evening by the jackson railroad
1t will be remembered that when Gen. Grant inter-
tered with his appointments in this district he re-
quested to be relieved though it understood that
IN consideration OF the earnest desire of people
that he should remain in commend here the President
concluded not to comply with that request Since |
then, however, the condition of public, affairs both
here and at Washington is changed and the presence
of tried PATRIOTS such as Gen. Hancock at the Fed.
eial capital may be considered matter of paramount
Importance. Should the General be permanently re-
ieved of his command here the fact will be regarded
by our citizens with regret No man ever won more
completely the confidence of community, and no
man could possibly carry with him, in fuller degree
the blessings and good wishes of grateful people.
