General Merritt to Resume Command of the Department of the East.
New York, Nov. 16.—A special from Washington says: General Merritt will resume command of the department of the East, with headquarters at Governors island, when he returns from Europe, and General Shafter will go to San Francisco to command the department of the Pacific, which he relinquished when the war began. These assignments are to be made whether hostilities are resumed or not, as both the officers concerned are said to be willing to give younger men a chance in the field if occasion demands.
