fine display.
II is also due from our dealers in fruit that
they select and make ready anything they can
fur the show. Undoubtedly our city Is the
largest market for fruit On the continent It
would be but small credit to our fruit dealers
If they fail to embrace the opportunity Of pre-
senting show Of fruit worthy their enter.

We trust no one will be backward 1n the
work, considering more especially, that our
soldiers in the hospitals will receive all the
profits growing out Of the show. Our coun.

THE ARREST OF Col. HULLl6AS.-For
day OF two past vague rumor has prevailed
that Col. Mulliggn had been arrested ut Camp
New Creek, in Western Virginia, upon
charges touching affairs at Camp Douglas
when he WAS in command. The rumor turns
out to be truth. It appears that on the Goth
OF July IN order was issued from the War De-
partment, directing Col Mulligan to report
to that department his accounts as command
ant Of Camp Douglas. That order was sent
by mail and never reached Mulligan. Not re-
ceiying any report, his arrest WAS ordered.
Being arrested, and hearing the charge, he
addressed letter to the Adjutant General.
The following is copy Of the letter:
