The Ai my of the Potomac—Appointmeut of General Hooker. . • The appointment of General Hoo.R.n to the command of the Army of tire Potomac will be welcomed by all who love a good and gallant and energetic commander. This is the reputation which Geu. HOOKER • has earned on many a field, and which he possesses to-clay in an eminent degree. Hellas had the singular good fortune to go through this war Ivithout being committed to any faction, and, without permitting his name to be given to any party but that of his country. In - whatever position General 1100EER has been placed, be has-clone his duty. Untilhe fought his way to distinction, no oite .. held a more humble position. He was called from civil life among the first Presidential army appointments, and in the latter part of July was placed in command of a brigade, which Was stationed .at . Bla densburg for the defence otWashington.' He was subsequently placed in command of the forces in lower Arcpyltind, and when MCCLELLAN moved to 'the' Peninsula he accompanied him. It is no exaggeration to . say,' that in that campaign General Hooxzn won the . greater share of the laurels. He speedily became known as a daring, bold, audacious fighting man, who always pressed . his way until he obtained an advantage, and pushed his advantage until he obtained a vic tory. At Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, and down . to Antietam, he never entered a battle with out great renown. He takes %command of an army that knows him. They have seen him tried,•and .they feel' that they can trust his valor and his genius. • And-yet it is not without a feeling of re gret that we part from General BURNSIDE. He is a general whom we love, and his re tirement will be regarded with universal sorrow. There is so much about General BURNSIDE to draw us to him—so much bravery ; such a high sense:of honor; so much self-sacrificing magnanimity-Lthat he will always be remembered' with affection .. .and esteem. He did not seek to be placed in the command of the Artily of the.", Po tomac. He felt his own weakness—that he • wanted those transcendent- onalitios,,thoj „ena.blo _a man to_rontfisctli7o3; • oarkas-oi - fellow- • • men, and lead them to victory. In North. Carolina, where he commanded an expedi • -ti on, lie.did.his work well, and gained many :important victories. When he joined the A3mySaf the Potomac he Jabored zealously 'to contribute to its triumph, and-at Antietam his Magnificent valor reflected glory, Upon our aims. The -history -of his connection with the Army -of the Potomac is one that will do him honor. His defeat at:Fredericks burg not be .remembered as a defeat, 'for it placeti him among the noblest charac ters of history. We understand that. he has • asked fora furlough of thirty days, and that, in connection with General StracitEn and General FRANKLIN, he retires fkom , ,the army. This will leave the work of reorga nization in the hands - of - General HOOKER, • and when that work is complete, we feel confident that they will again be . called into . the field. These changes indicate a greater change in our military policy. What this country • wants is military success, and, profiting by • the' experience we have gained, the Presi dent will promote and cherish merit until success is gained. We have every faith- in General HooxEu... He has fought his way to his present high position, and his merit deserves the recognition it has received. He may fail, for there is no test of ability to command 'an army but experience. It may be that, -while possessing the' great qualities that have made him so successful and popular, he wants the great quality.of all. . It such should be the case, then 'General • HOVER must give way to - others. It is not - men that 'we advance, but . victory. We can have no, personal preferences in a time :like this, for we only desire the - triumph of •-our arms. How best to attain it is the. aim of the President. For this reason he has .nta4e.Ahese changes in the Artmy of the Potomac. The policy which prompts them •I is the true one,' and we -think iikthe present 7 Case it will be crowned with success. - Cotton. , • Tile stock of cotton on hand at Liverpool, on the close.of 1862,•was ascertained to'be -.892,461 bales, being 100,000 bales more than ::Previous Teturns had shown. The stock, on :Deceinber 31, 1801, was 622,565 bales. In 1857 it was as low-as 340,300 bales, but then .• there were fresh animis...weeklv,_ sent - me — stMlCetinnot - be replenished from America, though the Cottan, Circular counts on 50,000. bales from the South in 1863 " from the Brazils, West Indies, and other ,sources, about 200,000 bales; from Egypt probably 150,000 bales; and from the East • Indies, -1,400,000• bales. This, added to the stock at • present irr the ports of Great Bri tain,gives *aggregate Supply for the year •of 2,288,050 bales.. The export demand will take, in all probability, free this fully 700,000. bales, leaving for our otvrt trade .1,538,956 bales." The same authoritiacids "Believing;-as we • do, that a long period • must elapse:before any settlement of Arne- Amu affairs, Can 'take ,place,, there seems little hope for, any relief from ,a higher range of prices during: .the coming year.

The short time that he has directed your movements has not been fruitful of victory or any considerable advancement of our lines, but it has again demonstrated an amount of courage, pa tience, and endurance that, under more favorable circumstances, would have accomplished great re sults. Continue to exercise these virtues; be true in your devotion to your country and the principles you have sworn to maintain; give to the bra've and skilful general who has long been identified with your organization, and who is now to command you, your full and cordial support, and you till deserve success, In taking an. affectionate leave - of the entire army, from which lie separates with so muoh re gret, ho may be pardoned if he bide an especial farewell to his long-tried associates of the Ninth corps. His prayers are that God may be with you, and grant you continued success until the rebellion is , crushed. By command of Major General Burnside. LEWIS RICHMOND, A. A. G It is Understood that Generals Sumner and Frank lin have also been relieved from their command of the right and left Grand Divisions, but the names of their successors have not been divulged, if ap point General Burnside, With most of his late staff, has been allowed thirty days' leave of absence. They will go to New York. The weather is warm and pleasant, and the mud is fast drying up. SKETCH •OF MAJOR GENERAL HOOKER. Major General Joseph Hooker was born in Massachusetts about the year 1817, and is conse quently about' forty-five years of age. He entered West Point in 1833, and graduated in 1837, standing No. 28 in a class which included Generals Benham, Williams, Sedgwick, etc. of the Union army, and Generals Bragg, Mackall, and Early of the rebel forces. At the outbreak of the war with Mexico he accompanied Brigadier General Hamer as aidds camp, and MU breveted captain for gallant conduct in several conflicts at Monterey. In March, 1847, he was appointed assistant adjutant general, with the rank of captain. At the National Bridge he distinguished himself, and was breveted major; and at Chepultepec he again attracted attention by his gallant and meritorious conduct, and was breveted lieutenant colonel. At the close of the war with •Mexico he withdrew from the service, and Boon afterward .emigrated .to California. The outbreak of the rebellion found him there, and he was one of the first old West Pointers who offered his services to the Government. He was one of the first batch of brigadier generals of volunteers appointed by President Lincoln on the uth_jusy, 184j1. an d_ w _ e& ,,,,._ ce aZn of the Army of the Potomac, and subsequently of a division. From July, 1861, to February, 1862, he was stationed in Southern Mary land, on the north shore of the Potomac, his duty being to prevent the rebels crossing the river. This duty he performed admirably. When the Army of the Potomac moved to the peninsula, Hooker accompanied them in charge of a division. In the contest at Williamsburg his divis ion bravely stood the brunt of battle. At Fair Oaks the men again showed their valor, and the general his fighting qualities. In the various contests Hooker took his part and bravely went through with his share of the seven days' fight. When McClellan's army was placed under the command of Gen. Pope, 'we find the nainea of "Fighting Joe Hooker" and the late General Kearney mentioned together in the thickest of the struggle; and again at South Moun tain and Sharpsburg he seems to hsive been second to no one. At the latter fight he was shot. through the foot and obliged to leave the field. When he had recovered from his wound sufllcient ly to take the field "lit' a litter he did 'so; and was made commanding general in the fifth army corps. On the 14th of November ' he was placed in com mand of the centre grand division if General Burn side's army in Virginia. His promotions have thus taken place : On July 4, 1862, he was promoted to a major generalship of volunteers; and on the 20th of September, 1862, was appointed a brigadier gene ral of the regular army, in the place of General Mansfield, deceased.'

On the 17th, the United States sloop of-war Brook iyn,. in company with six other United States steamers, was oft' Galveston. They saw a steamer in the • offing.

Special Despatches to 64 The Press." WASHINGTON, January 26, 1663. The Proposed National Guard. senator WILSON'S volunteer Militia bill provides for .a force to be called the national Guard of .the United States, comprising two hundred regiments of twelve companies each. Every regiment to be' divided into three battalions, commanded by nolo nel, lieutenant colonel, three majors, and twelve captains, to be appointed by; the Governors of the Staten among which the force is to be diatributed pro rata. Any portion of this militia maybe called by the President of the 'United States into service during a war of invasion or a rebellion. Seizui•es of Rebel Property. In reply to the ,resolution of inquiry relative to property heretofore seized by the Military Go vernor of the District of Columbia as the property of rebels, the Secretary of War encloses a communi cation from Gen. MARTINDALE detailing the cip• cumstances of the conflict of military aqd civil au thorities with regard to the property of Judge CAurnr.r.r., which, after its seizure by the military authorities, was subsequently turned over to the marshal of the District upon a writ of replevin. Gen. MARTINDALE suggests further legislation by .Congress to embrace two points : First. To autho rize the seizure of rebel property by military ati thority, as though martial law existed, but to be transferred to the civil authorities for condemnation and sale in those districts where the civil courts are in operation, and to courts .martial where rebellion has interrupted civil courts. Secondly. ContiOued absence and general reputation of disloyalty to au thorize condemnation and sale, unless the owner of the property seized shall appear and prove loyalty. The Free Labor System in South Carolina. The U. S. tax commissioners for South Carolina have made a preliminary report, in which they say it must be obvious that the system of free labor has not had a fair trial in the part of that State which is tinder United - States control ; indeed, scarcely any system has been put to a practical test. Owing to casualties and shifting circumstan ces of military affairs no , permanent labor•policy .can be inaugurated. The great impediment in its progress is the uncertainty which overhangs the future of the colored people. It is a great mistake to suppose them to be unmindful of the uncertainty of their condition. Nevertheless, they are . but tenants at will on the grace of the Government, subject to military caprice and necessity, With a strong desire to obtain permanent and free homes, where they were born and reared. This class of people, the, commissioners say, are daily thronging., their doors, anxiously inquiring about their destiny. 'hen the lands shall be sold for taxes they feel the necessity of some guiding minds to direct them in a • new state of existence, the immense_inarnitude of which they appreciate, but - the detaile of which they are_unanso :to-comprehend. The males especially are anxious to resume their former labor, provided they and their families can be assured of their free dom, moderate compensation, good homes, and per manent employment. The League Xsland Navy Yard. The Secretary of the Navy has sent a communica tion to Congress asking an appropriation of two hundred thousand dollars for establisking a navy yard at League Island. Postal Department Appropriation. In the bill passed by the House today, twelve millions were appropriated for the Post Office De partment for the year ending with the - 30th of Juno 1664. For the first time during many years no appro . ' priation from the Treasury for a postal deficit was required, there being' enough of last year's appro priation unexpended to cover the small deficit of the coming year. ' General Burnside. General BURN SIDE has made arrangements to be in New York early this week. On Saturday morn ing he, at his own request, was relieved from the command of the Army of the Potomac, when the President immediately conferred the chief command on Major General HOOKER. The McDowell Court of Inquiry sat with closed doors to-day. It is understood that they were awaiting the arrival of General Manor, and Lieut. Col. Lome (formerly of Gen. Po/T.- 71We staff), who are the only witnesses yet to be examined. :Nominations and Confirmations. :fames Mcßride, of Oregon, was to-day nominated by the President as minister resident to the Ha waiian Islands.

The Military Changes. * The, appointment of General HOOnsit to the com mand of the Army of the Potomac has not created much surprise here, as such an event has been looked.for to occur at any moment since the battle of Fredericksburg. Bunweran, with a modesty perhaps never equalled, has long felt his incompe tency, and has time and again asked to be , relieved, but the Government has not seen fit to grant his request until th - e — presant moment. His address is characteristic of the man, and is universally praised here for its striking modesty and patriotic fervor. The ordering to Washington. of Generals Sincsin and FRANKLIN has created some surprise; but it is generallybelieved that it does not mean a censure of those officers. It is known that it his been in contemplation for some time to send Gen. 'Summar ; to take the place of Gen. CURTIS as commander of the Department of the Frontier. It is not known to what position General FRANKLIN will be assigned,. but his friends think that he will be placed in mom mand of the defences of Washington, so that. 55 ad5,,,,„-n......,-ATEr — NITUI take the --- Rumors about General McClellan.

The rebel cavalry, inconsiderable bodies, are con stantly hovering on our flanks, watching our com munication. The Goveinment ought to reinforce our cavalry arm of this departmenr, and supply horses to mount the infantry regiments, in order that they may be able to pursue the rebels. • The rebel General Wheeler has been made a major-general, and placed in command of all the rebel cavalry in Tennessee.

Mitch was to-day presented with a service of silver and a policy of insurance on his life, by his friends. The General has just recovered from his wounds. THE NEW ORBEITNIIT-STREET THEATHE.—The new theatre of Mr. Wheatley was filled last- eve ning with a fashionable audience. The assembly was not as large as it would have been but for the speculation of Mr. Risley, which placed such •a large premium upon the seats that they could only be ob, tamed at a price -four-or five times larger than is generally paid. We think it was a mistake in the management, and we are confident thatthe audience this evening will show a vast difference. The most gratifying circumstance connected with _the new theatre is its great success in a practical way. - The' ptage is large tip COrtallneidOUß l the peatiPre cOave nient and attractive, while the facilities for hO'aring are unsurpassed. Thilowest tones of Mr.Foirest's voice could be heard lathe highest part of the house with -great distinctness, and; indeed,•every part of building seethed to be 'within its compass. The light, the, ventilation, the entrance and exit, are all admirably - arranged.. In every way, indeed, it ht . ,' the finest and moat comfOrtable theatre in Phila. delphia. I Mr. Forrest's performance of Virginius was un usuallyEne. We do not think he ever played" better, an although the part of the Roman is by no means his greatest Conception, nor a favorite cha racter of ours, he seemed to throw intoAt fire, life, feeling, and reality. It impressed us' as we have been seldom impressed before,•and ahowred,that the tine genius'of the'great tragedian ii - still powerful and active.

I appear before yoU this evening to tender you my deep and heartfelt thanks, for the prompt and generous•alterity with which you have shown a disposition to' support me in my. undertaking. Believe me, theta thanks. are no mere verbal formula; they are the honest expres sions of one, the better part of whose life has been passed among-you, whose heart is knit as much:by affeetion•as by respect to that public for - whom-he his ever labored so zealously, and which has always so cordially acknowledged his toil.. Let me frankly own that it is with a• satisfied feeling of pride I re turn to Philadelphia to assume the management of a house WhiCh will recall to the olden support ers of-theatrical amusements in this city.the palmy days of, the old Chestnut-street Theatre, while t o the younger lovers of them it may repeat and more than realize the, tales which they have been told of a flourishing theatre in the very centre of Its life and activity. It will scarcely be necessary for me to al lude to the architectural elegance and studious com fort in its internal arrangements of this beautiful lit tleTemple.of the Muses, reared • by the public spirit and energy of Mr. William Cochrane, and confided to my.care; -Its doors I have this evening opened to the friends and patrons of my earlier. career, with the determination . to secure a _continuance of that support and liberality which they have formerly ac corded me. .• Neither the desire to win nor thkambi lion to merit it shall be wanting•upon.-my part. If I , fortune does help- the _bold," as the - Roman pito -verb says, and the old En g l ish One, "Resolution and success are catercousirie,o , has any - truth in it, then, indeed, do I feel certain that my honestambition lirnnot and shall:not be , belied by my failure. In deedf.itwould seem to me' that the Blind Goddess of the Wheel and the money bags was in one of her .inost loving moods—since she eeables me to com mence my season in conjunction- with the most powerful attraction, as an • artist, that could .be offered me by Americanay, by the world. You are, of course, aware that I ant now alluding to Mr. Edwin Forrest, always a great Shakapearean actor. lie is one of the few artists• - -I might-with justice say, the only one—who has grown greater as years have rolled on.

Moreover, I am supported in this new commencement - of my mans gerfal ;career in: Philadelphia by another great Shakapearian artist.

ITEMS. Monthly Meeting or the Young Men's Chris tian Association. The regular monthly meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association was held, at their rooms, No. 1011 Chestnut streeclast evening, President Cookman in the chair. The audience was unusually large—a fact which is no doubt attributable to the new order of exercises which has recently been adopted by this Assoeiation; The system of essays, answers to stated interroga tories, and discussions, which they have just bum _ gurated, hap added immensely to their interest, and we shall not be surprised if, very soon, the increased attendance will make it necessary for them to secure a more spacious room in which to hold these monthly gatherißgs. The meeting was opened with the usual devotional exercises—singing a hymn, reading the Scriptures by the chairman, and prayer by M. Shillingford. By previous appointment Mr. Hiram Ward was then called upon to answer the foll Owing question : "Has the extensive manufacture and use of fer mented liquors and domestic wines in this country diminished the aggregate of drunkenness and its at tendant evilsl' , _Mr. Ward responded to this ques tion in the negative. The process of distillation was, he said, only about three hundred years old. But the use of wines had been productive of an im mense aggregate of drunkenness in all ages, The first caseof mania-apOtu recorded in history was tnat of Nebuchadnezzar, who had drank so much wine that he was attacked with a fit of delirium tremens and imagined himself an ox, and had gone down on all fours and spent seven years, like • another brute in the fleldi! Wine-bibbers had always been drunk • aids, and cider and beer-drinkers fared no better. He knew of one family who drank at the rate of fifty-two barrels a year, that had been all cider drunkards, one, of their- number never having drawn a 'sober breath from one year's end to the other ; and if any one doubted that lager beer Was intoxicating, all that he had to do was to visit one of the great German Sunday resorts and hear the hundreds of drinkers there congregated sicear in Dutch! Mr. Waid concluded his speech by recommending that if any one doubted that Ameri-. • can wines make them drunk, he ought to try it. After another rather long question had been an swered, speeches were made by Messrs. Dr. Dales and Peter B. Simons. These were followed by a hymn, and an ESSAY ET THE REV. P. L. ROBBINS. The usual essay for the occasion was read by the Rev. Frank. L. Robbins, pastor of the Green Hill Presbyterian Church. is subject was "Self-Sove reignty,” and his treatment of it was metaphysical and philosophical, rather than theological. He en deavored to show that the self-determining power ,in. man's nature, whilst it was the most ha . • zardons, was the touchstone of true greatness, He held that it was within the range of every man's: ;attire/ poiver to act' well his part in life, and was upon the whole rather more compli mentary to human nature, as such, than clergymen of his school generally are.. He asserted that reforma tion was - possible for all, by a simple effort of the will. He denied that any man's destiny was under the iron necessity of Predestination. Individual self •sovereignty was God's gift to man, and he attained to the truest standard of religion who realized most perfectly this self 7 deitermining power.. God, he said, had made man perfect and harmonious in all his at tributes, and it was,therefore,withinhis power to do rightlf he: so determined. The essay was extremely well written, and was applauded at the close. TDB DISCUSSION A half hour was next devotedlo discussing the essay just read. The first speaker did not seem well pleased with the theology of the essay. It might not have been designed as a theological disquisition; nevertheless, any manifeet departure from the teach ings of the Bible ought not to be overlooked. He thought the essayist had drawn a too flattering pic 'tire of man's nature unregenerated by - the power of perfect, but the devil had subsequently sadly damaged the divine mechanism. To the speaker's mind the boasted self-sovereignty of man was a fallacy. 'God alorie was sovereign, and man, his creature, was subject. Such an idea as a sovereign being suldect to a soVereign, might be clear to some minds, but in.his estimation it was noruiense.' i lklan's boasted freedom, he.knew, writhed under the thought, yet the truth had to be confessed that ever since the fall man has been Satan's slave—a bondsman to sin, and must eo .remain until he is made " the Lord's freeman" by the grace of God, in the new or spiritual -.birth, over which the subject could have no 'more control than he had over his natural birtli. Ghristianswere ,such by the good pleasure of God alone, and what they did in that capacity that was worthy of praise was not their own natural act, but the act of Him " who worketh in you to will and to do of his own good pleasure." • The next speaker was Mr. Hiram Ward, but as his speech was not in his happiest mood, and as we have already giVen him a good show in this report, we will not attempt to reproduce what he said. Mr. Ifellog, who officiated as secretary, next occu pied the floor. He believed, reverently, in all the preacher had said, and promised to profit by it. He announced the fact that none of us were born full grown men And this, he said, was as true of new born (ThriMiens, who were neensarily.babes in the ology—a proposition which he proceeded to illus trate in person by assuming that it was in the pOwer of a man to become either a devil or an angel (a circumstance which the Scriptures have utterly failed to communicate): He also talked Confusedly, for what purpose he did not state, 'about " what the devils Were thinking and doing in Heaven I" Mr. K. Is evidently a fluent speaker, but was unfortunate in the selection of his theme. At this stage of the discussion, Mr. Robbins again took the floor, and with great good temper attempt ..ma to set himself right on the points assailed in his '• essay, the conclusion of his defence being, that if :man was not a free moral agent, then God must be . j ut in condemning him.
