Very Important from Washington—New of the Heads of the Arrangement Army. We have received intelligence from a well informed source at Washingion, which re- duces to shape and consistency the vague and disjointed rumors which have been afloat in this city for some days past in ref nce to a row arrangement of the heads of e the three principal positioas in the army. This uew and impending arrangement, it thus ap s pe will embrace:— ” Firsi—The tennsfer of General MeClellan from the command of the Army of the Potomac to the ofice of General-in Chief at Washington: now held by General Halleck. Second—The transfer of General Halleck to his original command of the great Department of the West. Third—The promotion of General Hooker, commander of the First army corps, to the command of the Army of the Potomac. General Halleck returns to the command of the Department of the West, or of the Mississip- pi, a4 officially designated, in order to secure unity of purpose and action in all our military operations in that quarter, and in order to avoid jealousies and rivalries among our numerous active and aspiring generals in that quarter: The _skiH, ability and comprehensive activity displayed by General Halleck in this vast de- partment, from last autumn until July Yast, in- duced President Lincoln to all him to Wash- ington as General-in-Chief over all our armies, during that dark period in this war which im- mediately followed those terrible seven days’ fighting in front of Richmond. The country will approve this return of General Halleck to the West, as it welcomed his. call to the East and accept it ae the initial act to a new series of military operations destined soon to put an end tothe armies of the rebellion from Tennes- see to the Gulf of Mexico. Gen: McClellan is to be restored to the posi- tion of General-in-Chief. in view of his expe- rience and great capacity in organizing armies and planning campaigns. His admirabie qualities for these important duties resivred order out of chaos and secured our naticnel capital againet the enemy afier our first unfor- tunale battle of Bull run, and again, a year Jater, after tle terrible and disastrous pursuit of Gen. Pope by the overwhelming rebel army of Gen. Lee. It was the military genius of Me(lellan which gathered up the fragments of his own army from the Richmond peninsula, and the remains of the army of Gen. Pope, and woulded them, together with a mass of raw recruits, into the victorious army of South Mountain and Antietam. Gen. MoClellan, therefore. will be universally accepted asthe proper wan to supply the place of Gem. Hal- leek, and &s. perhape, the only man capable of filling it. Geu. Hooker, in noarly all the sanguinary battles of the Richmond peninsula, from Wil- liainsburg to the Chickalominy, and thence to Malvern Hill, under MeClellan, and on the plains of Manassas, under Pope, and again under MeClelian in Maryland, has earned from the army the flattering title of “Fighting Joe Hooker.” Hence he, of all its splendid officers, is singled out to take the place of Gen. McClel- lan as the head of our Army of the Potomac. There is an idea abroad thet thie army is now so well organized and disciplined, and is so ably oficered in all its corps, divisions and brigades, that it only needs to be led against the enemy to defeat him. The capacity of Gen. Hooker to manage an army so large as this remains to be tested; but, with the talents, the education, experlesce and fighting qualities of a thorough soldier, he exnnot fail; and we pre- sume that, with the opportunity, he will prompt- ly silence all complaints of delay. His intre- pidity, too, will be guided by the instructions of Geneval MeClellan, 80 that when the Army of the Potomac moves again we may feel assured of the best results. In all these arrangements it is evident that President Kincoln has aimed to secure increased effieiency, unity and harmony in the army with- out offence to any officer or to the friends of any officer concerned. Nor do we think that in this broad and compreliensive view a better recast of the officers indicated could be made. Let us hope that the most glorious achievements will follow, and that the wicked and disastrous intrigues of our intermeddling radical abolition politicians fa the matter of directing the ap- pelatments, plang and movements of the army will now clove. Letter fron: General Joh A. Diz. The following fetter .of Gener@! Dix, in which be declines being » candidate in the coming election in this State, is as patriotic as it is just, and the reader will perceive that the views he so pithily empresses are exactly the same we have urged in these columns:-— LETTER FKOM GENERAL DIX TO A PRIZND IN NEW york. Fortrees Monon, Oot. 22, 1862. -—— ——=: My name, F600, is again used in connec- tion with a political office, witheut my knowlodge or con sont, Tehall remain at my post, dving all J can to sustain the governmon} in putting down the rebollion and at a moment when the existence of the nation is hanging by & thread Icannot leave my dutics here to be drawa into ny party strife. Neither willl over nasent to any ad justment of the contest with the insurgent States witch shail acknowledge their success . “ ‘Tho robeltion began ia fraud, dishonor and violence, and must end in submission to the constitution and the tawa. ‘Tho secession leaders have put the contost on grou.ds which would make @accoss on thoir pact indelible dis etace to us. In my sphere of duty my intention is to carry on tho War without oither violence to the constitution or to the principles of justice and humanity, avd to contend to the last to avert atriumph over all that is stablo in goverpment or honorable in political oompanionship. My whole counse through life has proved my dovo tion to democeacy aud conservative principles, No agsurance “should be noeded that this faith is an changed, But ata momont Wke this, unless all par tics will rally round the govornment in putting down this rebeltion, leaving questions among ouzsolyes to bo settiod when the national honor is vindiewted and our oxistence ag a nation secured, there can be nothing for us in the futuro but disaster and disgrace, JOHN A, DIX. Gen. Dix aays that when the existence of the nation is hanging by a thread, he cannot teave his duties asa genoral to be drawn into any party strife. This is the genuine language of a patriot soldier, Would not Ge Wads worth follow the example with great erodit to himself, and save the State from being the scene of political strife, when all the popular energy and enthusiasm ought to be directed against the common enemy? General Dix truly observes that, “ata moment like this, unless all partics will rally roand the government ia putting down this rebellion, leaving questions among ourselves to be settled when the national honor is vindica- ted and our existence as a nation secured, there can be nothing for us in the future but disaster and disgrace.” The faction who first entered the field and put forward General Wadsworth as a strong partisan of the most extreme kind, who had committed himself to the moat violent radical views, are responsible for the contest. If they do not now withdraw him, or if he will not withdraw himself, ihey will only show that they prefer party to country, and that they are willing to risk the safety of the republic for the smallest chance of party success. Seymour has offered to retire if Wadsworth retires, and allow General Dix to be elected without a contest. But as Wads- worth’s organ, the Tribune, has deciared that the radicals will not allow Seymour ¢o retire, and will compel him to fight, by keeping their own champion in the field, there is nothing loft for the people but io make a choice between them. 5 It is worthy of remark that the principles of General Dix are more in accordance with those ot Seymour than with the ultra-radical senti- meats of Wadsworth. , General Dix cays he has always been conservative, that he is still un- changed, and that it is his “intention to carry on the war in his own sphere without cither vio- lence to the constitution or to the principles of justice and humanity.” The conservative can- didate stands on this platform. But the radical programme equally violates the constitution and the principles of justice and bumanity- And this is the issue to be tried by the people in the coming elections; and, judging from the way the popular vote has already gone, there can be but little doubt about the result. The popular reverence for the letter and spirit of the constitution, which the revolution- ury radicals are trampling under foot, is one cause of the great conservative counter-revolu- tion which is sweeping over the country. Another cause is the rampant corruption developed in the republican party, exceeding .all prece- dent—cerruption exposed uot by hostile de- moerats, but by republicans themselves. Wit- ness the report of the Van Wyck committee, the report of Robert Dale Owen and Joseph Holt, and other reports, laying bare the plun- der of the nation in its extremity by a set of greedy cormorants, who sported with the health and lives of the brave volunteers of the army inorder to make money out of them by shoddy and other rottert contracts. A third cause is the disorganization of the currency by Mr. Chase, depreciating it from twenty-live to thirty per cent, causing silver and even copper to disappear from the operations of trade, and substituting instead postage stamps and other shinplasters, to the infinite disgust of the people. Had My, Chase done hie duty, as we urged him, the depreciation would not have been more than seven or eight per cent, and silver, instead of being hoarded, would bave remained in the hands of business men for change. But lie was too busily engaged in his radical schemes, and in meddling with the generals of the army, to atiend to his proper duties, Lasily, while the currency is depreciated, and a paper dollar is only worth from five to six shillings, and while wages have not advanced, prices of the necessaries of life have gone fearfully upward. Flour, which in 1860 sold at from $5 to $6 50, now sells at from $8 to $10, in the face of abundant crops; coffee, which sold at from thirteen to fourteen cents @ pound, now sells for thirty ceuts; tea is also doubled in price; sugar, which sold at from six to eight cents, is now as high as ten and twelve cents; coal, which sold at $4 50, is now up to $7 50; articles of clothing, whether woollen or cotton, are from fifty to one hundred per cent higher. Hardware is also greatly in- creased in price. It is no wonder that a poor mgn, who before could barely live upon his wages, now feels the pangs of poverty and pri- vation, which set him to thinking of the causes which have produced the change. Here, then, is abundant cause for discontent, and the revolution at the polls is ensily explained, The movement will overrun North, East and West like @ prairie fire, and nothing can arrest its progress. The effect on the South will be highly important. The overthrow of the radi- cals and abolitionists cannot fail to result in the overthrow of the leaders of thé rebels and the restoration of the rebellious States to the alle- giance whieh they owe to the federal govern- ment by the terms of the constitution. When we convince the Southern people that we will crush every attempt to abrogate the constitution by arbitrary power, or to evade its provisions, in order by @ side wind to destroy a domes- tic institution of the South, they will inaugu- rate a counter revolution as complete and as overwhelming aa that which is pow gcatter- eral . $$ $e ———— ——————————— —eeeeeeeEeEeSeeSOOOOOE- shall prevail oupe more people from Maine to Texas, wader one flag— the old flag which bas braved th battle and the breeze for three-quartors of a catury, aud is destined still to be the symbol of Lib*ty aud empire in the New World. Mr. Guapsrone’s Srexcu at Newoastie. We give elsewhere a fall report of the speecli* made by the English Chancellor of the Vixche quer, upon which so much stress is laid by se- cessionist sympathizers abroad. We also pub- lish a synopsis of two similar speeches made by Sir Joln Pakington and Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, although they add but little to the sentiments of hostility against the North to which these gentlemen have so frequently before given expreasion. Mr. Gladstone’s speech has alarmed some timid people here, from the known reserve of his character. They are of opinioh that he would not have thus freely expressed himself in regard to the South’s having made out its claims to a distinct nationality unless there was a settled intention on the part of the English Cabinet shortly to recognize ita independence. Like Louis Napoleon's mots d’occasion, Mr. Gladstone's chance utterances are assumed by the political quidnunes to presage grave events. Bat Mr. Gladstone is not a Louis Napoleun: and there is nothing either in his opinions or in his official position to justify the four that isexpressed. The Cabinet of which he Is a meiaber has long been known to be divided on this question of the recognition of the Seuth, and be has always sided with the views beld by Lord Johu Russell ia reference to it, But, en the other hand, the Queen is violently opposed to any step being taken to wound the feelings or iuterests of the North, and Lord Paimerston is equaly firm in resisting the pre-sure brough to on the government by the menufacturing interests. Mr, Gladstone’s de" clarations would, therefore, signify but little, even were they not neutralized by the closing sentences of his oh, which, although predi- cating the certainty of the South's attnining ils independence, recommend that Lngland shall do nothing to increase the pain and humiliation which that event must cause us. In whatever light, however, this prejudgment of the result of the war by so able a statesman as Mr. Gladstone is to be viewed, it should teach us one thing, and that is, to prepare for any emergency that may arise. This can only be done by pushing the way to as vigorous and rapid a conclusion as possible, so as to be ready to meet anything like sn attempt at armed in- tervention from abroad. To that end all the energies of thé government and of the country should be strained. Let us hear no more of intrigues to displace this general or elevate tbat because of his supposed political views; ict an end be put to the med. dling of politicians with the- conduct of the war, and let the President ewmmarily dismiss from office att those who can be proved to have thrown obstacles in the way of the movements of the army by delaying the supplies which it needs. Mr. Lincoln is sure of being supported by the conservative sentiment of the country in any measures that he may choose to adopt against the fanat influences that have hith- erto hampered Lis administration and prolonged the war until it has brought the couniry to the verge of ruin. We must have no more vacilla- tion, no more temporizing with the open or concealed enemies of the Union. If the life of the country is to be saved we must have a short, sharp and decisive winter Campaign. Un- lege by the Ist of January we are in possession of Richmond and of the remaining rebel ports we shell despair of ever falsifying Mr. Glad- stone’s deciaration that “Jeff. Davis has made a nation of the South * Tes Trroxe ano Gen. McCieutan’s ARuY.— The Tritime, whose malice against General McClellan grows by what it {eeds upon, de- clares that our statement that McClellan’s army needs shoes, clothing and supplies is false. Now all the private letters from this wrmy concar in the statement we have made, Lieutenant Colonel Morrison, commanding the getlant Higilande regiment (the Seventy- ninth New York Stat tia), with MeClellan’s army, ina complimentary order to his brave command, published in yesterday's Herarp, says:—* You have accomplished many marehes by day and by night, many of you without shoes, and all poorly clothed. You have en- dured both hunger ang thirey w soargely a murmur of complaint.” Besides Adjutant General Thomas, who ought to know something of this matter, says, in a recent letier, that McClellan is really detained for supplies, which are now being forwarded to bin. We think, therefore, that this lie of the Zrliune is pretty well nailed to the counter. What false coi of spile and spleen will they ofier us next: ne; bear . Frevoxt ox Hostsene, at St. Louis, in which he self as an ill-used man, and compares himself not only to Marlgprough and Louis Napoleon, but also to the buitders of the walls of Troy; to the Trojan “whose spear against the treacherous horse made the clang of arms resound;” to Laocoon, attacked by serpents, and to An- teus, who rose refreshed every time le touched the earth during his struggle with Her- cules, These classical allusions show conside- rable reading; but they are moss unfortunately apropos of Fremont’s fate. The work of the builders of Troy was all in vain, and ended in ruins, The Trojan only invoked punishment upon himself by stajking the Grecian horse, Laocoon was killed by the serpents. Hercules, pereeiving whence Anteus derived bis strength, held him aloft and strangled him to death. Fremont, therefore, is not more successful in his classical comparisons than in bis military campaigns. In attempting to eulogize himvelf he metaphorically admits that he is a deceased general. We gladly accept the admission. Tue Exenrr Briaane—Our Commissioners of Exemption ought to be very particular whom they release from liability to the draft. Many of the persons who now crowd the station houses for exempt certificates will be very apt to exaggerate slightly in giving their ages to the Commissioners.
