To command the Soldiers, Home.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 26.-The
election of General Henry J. Hunt, of the
artillery, retired, for Governor of the Sol
diers' Home, gives great satisfaction
here. He takes the place of General
Sturgis, whose term of service has ex-
pired. General Hunt is well known at
Cincinnati through his command at New
port. He is one of the best known SOL
diers of the service or of the late war.
Among professional soldiers abroad he is
considered an authority in artillery SER
vice. He was chief of artillery of the
Army of the Potomac, and best
known to the country at large
for his command of the one hundred
guns with which he opposed the charge
of Beckett and Longstreet at Gettysburg
He constantly put aside his personal in
terests during the war, and, at the re-
quest of his superior officer, he remained
in the artillery as chief of staff, instead
of accepting a higher rank and command
in the volunteers. He could easily have
reached major-general's rank with Q
corps command. On account of these
facts Congress, at the last session,
passed bill promoting him on the re.
tired list to Brigadier-G General, but the
President, receiving it late the last night
and thinking it covered, by the position
taken in the vote, the Fitz John Porte
bill, refused to sign it. The present ap.
pointment has several advantages which
all are glad to see fall to the lot of Gen
eral Hunt. General Sturgis' administra
tion has been in all respects of the mos
satisfactory character.
