One woman sent down from the city Yesterday,
afflicted with ship fever, died Immediately on her

yer is very prevalent among the p!"rer classes
particularly the Irish families who awell in cellars
and houses about this city. We earn, too, that
very many of the proprietors of boarding houses
for cmigrants are in the habit of tuining them out

Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sun.
WASHINGTON. Februarv Ok

The new military bill, supplementary
to the bill for raising ten additional regi-
ments, is one Of the most important bills.
though it has made but very little noise in
the course of its passage. 1t enables the
President not only to appoint two additional
Major Generals, but also gives him the
power to appoint any of them he pleases to
the supreme command of the army.
It is, in fact, the Lieutenant General bill
for all its useful purposes, and without its
popular, if not constitutional objections;
and it is in general calculated to give the
greatest efficiency to our army and military
operations 5s..a
The question now is, who are to be the
two additional Major Generals2 IF Gen.
Scott should fail, in proper time, 10 give a
good account Of himself, then / should not
Z be astonished if a Major General were to Be
