A New DEPARTMENT FOR GEN. CANDY
General 3. R. S. Candy, late military COM
mandant in Virginia, who is new in Wash
iugton, will have a new department carved
out for him. General Sherman will shortly
isstse an order organizing a new military
department, to which Gen. Candy sill be
assigned, Virginia having been admitted in
the Union, aud Gen. Caaby having trans
lerred the State to the civil authorities, of
course has no further power there. But the
State must be embraced in a military de-
partmeat, rs other States in the Union are.
The department. Of the Fast, comprising all
Of the New England and a portion of the
Middle atates, with Maryland and Delaware
will, it is said, be diminished and a portion
of the territory thereof added to the new de-
p%artment, comprising Virginia. The new
department will be in the military division
Of the Atlantic. Gen. George Meade COM

~. Eaitor:-The Legislature will be
called upon to select a Superintendent of
Public instruction, by no means the least
important among the many Offices they will
fill. 10 find one who will combine all the
requisites that make such an officer as Vir-
GINA will need in setting on foo, the new

Besides a mind which has ordsscs, and system
we'll developed, that other most important
quality strong comuson sense, so often the
greatest want Of those called to ELL impor-
tant positions, should in this one be a sine
qua non. A number Of respectable gentle
men have been spoken of in this connection
yet your correspondent begs leave to say
that Maj, Jed IiotcAkias Of your town, is in
the estimation Of a large number, who know
him intimately, prominently qualified for
the place. He has had an experience Of ten
Or fifteen years in organizing and conduct

stituents, when I say that our members of
the Legislature will we'll discharge a public

In consequence of the absence of General
Butler, chairman OF the Reconstruction
committee, nothing has been done with the
bills before them relative to the admission of
Mississippi. 1t is said the republicans will
oppose the admission of the colored Senator,
Reyel. on the ground that he has not been
a citizen the time required for a Sena tor by
the constitution Of the United States. The
Democrats clam that this will not hold, for
the reason that the legislation of Congress for
the past ten years has practically ignored
the bred Scott decision, though neither the
18th and 18th amendments, nor the civil
rights bill cover the required time of citi-
zenship.
