It is understood that the Department of the South, of which Gen. Hunter has been put in command, will be thoroughly re-organized. Gen. Sherman will be followed North by his Brigadier Generals Wright and Viele; but it is an unknown who will fill the place they vacate.
It is also believed that Gen. Hunter will rightfully treat South Carolina and Georgia as rebels, and not as sovereign States.
The Senate to-day ratified two treaties, the commercial treaty with the Ottoman Porte, and the Mexican extradition treaty, negotiated by Minister Corwin.
The Former [sic], which is extremely liberal in its provisions, provides for its continuance for 50 years. One stipulation of the latter is to the effect that the frontier States, the respective parties shall deliver up persons for whom, surrender application is made without delay and expense of an appeal to Washington or the City of Mexico, elicited much discussion, and finally passed by barely one more than the constitutional majority, 27 to 13.
