GENERAL FITZGERALD AND THE Guard

The interesting news comes from Albany,

hast, that an offer OF promotion to the rank OF
major-gencral, with command Of the two bri-
gades of Greater New-York. was recently de
clincd by Acknowledgement Fitzgerald. II
would have been agreeable 10 the people of this
part OF the State, and we believe TO the great
majority OF the citizens OF New-York including
members OF the National Guard, 10 see General
Fitzgerald raised TO n rank commensurate with
ibis long and faithful service" 1t is not alto
gcther surprising, however, that he declined a
command from which he would presumably
have been retired two or three weeks hence un-
der the operation OF the projected plan for the
reorganization Of the National Guard in one
division. with n major general In permanent
command. There Is probably no risk In saying
that Il has never been part OF the calculations
of those who are arranging the terms Of that
reorganization that General Fitzgerald should
be put In command, though he has been the
strongest advocate OF such change and Is the
ranking brigade commander His excellent
Judgment will be reflected in the wiscst pro
visions OF the order which the Commnnder.in-
Chief is expected 10 promugate shortly. but II
