Gen. Harney.

--The St. Louis Republican, of the 24th, says:

‘ Gen. Harney, in command of this department, was ordered to report to Washington some what hastily as we hear, and left yesterday in obedience to the command. He had intended to make his headquarters at the Arsenal yesterday, and there were a great many who were congratulating themselves on this movement, having every reliance that, so long as he remained, the public peace would certainly be maintained. Major Wagner was relieved of his command of the Ordnance at the Arsenal, on Saturday, and it is the subject of remark that so important a post, having within its walls perhaps two thousand men, should be placed in the command of a junior captain.
