ere ordered to Cairo, Ill., and New England governors were authorized to put the coast defences within their respective States in good order. When the troops sent to Washington by Wool had opened communication with that city, the first despatch that he received from Scott was an order (April 30) to return to his headquarters at Troy for the recovery of his health, known to be feeble. The general's health was then perfect. A month afterwards General Wool was informed by the Secretary of War that he was sent into retirement because he had issued orders, on the application of various governors, for arms, ammunition, etc., without consultation with the authorities at Washington. He was made commander of Fort Monroe in August, 1861, and led the expedition that took possession of Norfolk, in May, 1862, in which month he was promoted major-general, United States army, and placed at the head of the 8th Army Corps, but did not appear in the field. He died in Troy, N. Y., Nov. 10, 1869.
