We learn from the Macon (Georgia) Confederate that the President has tendered Captain Desha, of Kentucky, command of the Confederate forces in Southwestern Kentucky, with the rank of brigadier-general, a change in the command there being necessitated by the unfortunate loss of sight to Colonel Adam R. Johnson, who had been but recently promoted to a brigadiership, and who, by this sad calamity, has been rendered unfit for further service.
