General Orders, HEADQUARTERS OF TIE ARMY,
No.,9. New York, June ID. 1857.
The tGeneralin- Chief has the painful duty Of an
nouncng ia the army the death Of one OF its general
officers and the Oldest in length OF service, Brevet
Brgadier General John de Barth Walbach, who died
in Baltimore on the 10th inst, at the age Of SO.
A native of French Alsace, Gen. Wabach, after
having served in European armies entered ours as an
officer about the close OF the last century, and was
member OF the staff OF Major General Alexander
Hamilton. Belonging at different times to the cavalry
and to more than one of the staff corps he became
finally in 1915, officer of artillery, and rose to the
command Of the 4th Regiment in ls42. The faithful
and creditable character of his service may be in
ferred from the fact that he retained through two
reductions OF the army establishment and was often
brevetted-rst major, for gallant conduct in the
battle of Chrystler's Fields, in 1913; second, lieu
tenantcolonel, for mertorious services" in lsl5
third, colonel for !" ten years faithful service, in
1896 and last, brigader general, for like conduct
in 1850. 2 .~
His long life and military career were characterized
by some OF the best traits OF gentleman and sol
der-unwavering integrity, truth and honor, strict
attention to duty and zeal for service; and be TEN
pered the administration OF an exact discipline by
the most elevated courtesies. ~
Appropriate honors will be paid to the memory o
the deceased by his late regiment
By command of Brevet Lieutenant General Scott.

WEATHER AND CRoPs IN ST. LANDRY.-The Ope-
lousas Patriot of Saturday last says
The planters of this parish beginning to suffer
seriously from the continued drought.
The early corn, which in this region is usually the
best is already much injured, and as it is in full
silk, rain is absolutely necessary for its growth and
maturity; few more days of dry weather will prove
amazingly disastrous to the maizy prospects of st.
Landry.
While we write clouds of dust are whirling through
the Streets binding and almost sntocatng pedestri-
ans, and reminding us, not family of sand-storms in
the African deserts for they are blasting to vegetation
and deleterious to life.
This spring found most of our sugar planters with
out seed cane, and it was with difficulty that stand
of cotton could be obtained now though during the
last week partial showers favored chosen few, the
cry is give rain perish The promise is that
the rain shall descend upon the just and the unjust

lukewarm, but properly come under or the other
of these appellatios, therefore we hope the rain will

LADIES, BEwARE--We have no prudish objection
to hoops of moderate size. On the contrary, they
are every respect preferable to the dozen twenty
skirts which they have superseded being lighter,
cooler, and more graceful in appearance. But the
excessive rotundty is getting to be decidedly ncon
venent. One can hardly shake hands with fash.
onable lady in consequence of the very respectful
distance" interposed by these haystack skirts, and
as for any approach-it is as vain to attempt
it as for Tantaus to touch the tempting fruit But,
ladies', whisper in your private ear. Are you aware
that here in New York the broader the skirt the mar
rover the line between the Saint and the Cyprian ::
and that the women who wear the largest % habits u
are generally the looscst in them? Fact!

proaches the earth it absorbs a great number Of
ghosts, both good and evil. The good, being pure
and light, thrown off and depart to place
of quiet and repose but the wicked, being gross and
heavy require to be kept in the rea long time, like
