THE DEPARTMENT OF KANSAS.
Sterling Price is Promoted.
Cincinnati, Oct. 2.—Nothing further has yet been received from Rosecrans or Burnside. The St. Louis Republican denies that either Sherman's corps or Smith's division has gone to Chattanooga. The Department of Kansas will be commanded by Gen. McNeil. Gen. Curtis declined the honor of succeeding Gen. Blunt, who, report says, is under arrest. Sterling Price has been commissioned a lieutenant general. He has supreme command in the trans-Mississippi Department, in which the rebels claim to have 50,000 troops.
