 Colonel Forsyth >ucceeds General McCooS.
 The race for the place vacated by Ma jor General Towards retirement was be tween General McConk and General Ru- ger, the latter commanding the Depart ment of California, and the former was peculiarly fortunate in receiving the ap- pointment over General Ruger, who stands at the head of the list of brigadier generals, because he would otherwise re- tire in few months with the rank of brigadier. As it is, Major Ruger's promo tion will probably only be delayed for that length of time
 Colonel James W. Forsyth who be comes n brigadier general. is one of the most distinguished cavalry officers in the army and has behind him a notable rec ord of service in Indian campaigns. At present he Is colonel of tho Seventh cav airy and in command of the artillery school at Fort Riley, Kan He also is a graduate of West Point. from which institution he graduated in 1851. and is a veteran of the late war.
 Major General Miles will transfer his command to New York. succeeding Ma jor General Howard as commander of the Department of the East. In the natural order General Forsyth would take his place as commander of the Department of the Missouri, but as the junior briga- dier general he may yield this command to General Ruger should the latter. us is expected. prefer to change from the De | partment of California.
