Gen. Wise, through the influence of Gen. Lee, who is a Christian
gentleman as well as a consummate general, has been ordered into the field. He
will have a brigade, but not with Beauregard. The President has unbounded
confidence in Lee's capacity, modest as he is.
Another change! Provost Marshal Godwin, for rebuking the
Baltimore chief of police, is to leave us, and to be succeeded by a Marylander,
Major Griswold, whose family is now in the enemy's country.
