WORD OF CAUTION.-Last night number Of
gentlemen were talking very excitedly at the
corner Of Seventh street and Louisiana avenue,
and the subject Of their discourse was the i'm
propriety Of officers Of the army taking objection
able females to places Of amusement. II was said
by them that an ofncer had AIKEN two to Odd Eel
lows Hall, and walked In with one on each arm.
Should such charge be proved, the ofacer at fault
would certainly lose his commission.
We may add that IL would greatly astonish the
good wives, sisters, daughters, mothers, and
sweethearts at home OF many of the volunteer
officers, could they see the sort Of female compan-
ionship said officers indulge in so openly and IN
blushingly In our streets and elsewhere

Gen. Stone and the Ball's Blur AFFAIR.
There has been strong effort ever since
the battle of Balls Bluff, by the indiscreet
friends of Colonel Baker, to throw the
blame of the disaster on General Stone,
and we are glad to learn that be is exon.
Grated. he has just received by flag Of
truce an informal communication from Thos.
Jordon, Beauregard's Assistant Adjutant
General, inclosing copies of two of Stones
orders to Colonel Devins and one to Colonel
Baker, found on the battle field of Leesburg.
Colonel Jordon says that be sends the Or
ders as an act of justice to General Stone,
who he has observed, was much blamed in
the public prints. He gives idle stories
about prisoners Of war, having been hand
cufed and tied in our army, adding that
this had never been done in the Confederate
lines. The orders to Colonel Devins direct
his crossing, and enforce the usual precau-
tions of prudent commander. That to
Colonel Baker is as follows:
HEADQUARTERS, CORPS OF OBSERVATION,
Edwards Ferry, Oct. 81, 1861.
Col. E. d. Baker. Commanding R,ght Wing :
Yours of 23O A. N. is received. am glad
you find your position tenable. If satisfied
with it, hold on, and don't let the troops get
fatigued or starved. While waiting, please de-
tail plenty of officers to attend to the food of
the men. Do you need more artillery than the
eight pieces now at your disposal!
(Signed) CHAS. r. STONE,
Brigadier General Commanding.
These orders, particularly the last, go far
