Tho President has given the major gen. erals commissions, refused by Messrs. Benton and Cumming, to Brig. Generals Quitman and Pillow. This is not blame> worthy, both these gentlemen having seen and done service in the war. But the vacant brigadier generals commis> sion of Gen. Quitman has been conferred, of all men in the world, upon Colonel Caleb Cushing! A man who, though pitchforked only few months since from the ranks of civil life to the high grade of colonel, has not yet even set foot upon the enenly's territory-has done nothing, that we know of, except advance some money (since repald to him,) make some speeches, blarney some ladies, wear n gold ring and put on showy uniform! {! Was there no Colonel among the volun- terrs who fought SO well at Buena Vista, upon whom this promotion might be con. ferred.-[N. Y. Con. Advertiser.
