Under existing circumstances, the customary pre-
paratory time allowed to newly-appointed officers
in the Army and Navy, must be curtailed Those
gentlemen, therefore, who have recently obtained
commissions or appointments, in either branch of
the service, will get themselves in readiness for
immediate orders, designations and other contin-
gencles having largely diminished the force on the
uuty rolis' Ihe following named officers, recently
promoted, have been ordered to proceed without
delay, to join their proper stations viz: Lieutenant
Mercer, First Dragons, to Fort Brooke; CAPTAIN
Tyler, Second Dragons, to Fort Laramie; Lieut.
Emroy, First Cavalry, to Fort Cobb; Lieut.. Ran
som, do, to Fort Arbuckle, G. N; Lieut. Thomp-
son, do, to Fort Wise, Kansas; Lieut. Riddck, do.
to Fort Wise, Kansas; Captain Hatch, Mounted
Riiiemen, to Fort Stanton, N. NJ; Capt Wilcox,

IGr, Eighth Infantry, to Fort Breckinridge, N. NJ;
Major Whiting, Eleventh Infantry, to Santa Fe
Captain Marshall do, to Fort Laramie, N. I. :;
Lieut.. W. Russell, Tenth Infantry, to Camp Floyd,
U. 7. Lieuts. A. N. Randoll and j. NJ. Wilson
have been transferred to the Artillery-the former
to the Third Regiment and the latter to the first
regiment. Paymaster A. J. Smith, Tenth Infan-
try, has been ordered to Washington.
From present appearances we may Judge that
henceforth, IN the distribution of the United States
naval forces throughout the world, the home
squadron, as its name intimates, will be kent
cruising on our. immediate seaboard, the vessels
touching occasionally at different cities and towns
as the commanders may DESIRE thus saving the ex-
pense CT storeship. Ships of the fleet, or perhaps

Considerable anxiety is felt in naval circles for
the safety of an excursion party of off GERS and
men, who left the United States frigate Susuue-
hanna, at Beirut, bound for Jerusalem. They had
been overtaken by fearful storm, and had started
second time, since which nothing had been heard
of them on board their vessel. Smallpox .had
broken out in the ships of the British fleet in the
