Generals Schofield and Terry.
GENERAL SCHOFIELD, ranking Gen. Terry will become Commander-in-chief of these forces. He still has his headquarters on ship-board, and is seldom seen on shore, so that his presence has not as yet inspired any very marked enthusiasm among the men. General Terry is greatly prostrated by the poisonous malaria in his system, imbibed during his Southern campaigning. Were not his duties so imminent and onerous, he would feel compelled to ask leave of absence from duty for medical treatment. The public will learn, however, that they have not over-estimated either his gallantry or military genius. Military history and military science has been with him a marked passion from his boyhood, and it may be safely asserted that few, if any other, officers in our army are so thoroughly au fait in the entire military literature of the English and French languages. Withal, General Terry is a true gentleman and patriot, unselfish, unassuming, and one who does not deem courteous civility of deportment at all derogatory to the character and dignity of an officer of the Union Army.-Cor. N. Y. Tribune.
