Materials in Their Invisible State.

If piece of silver be put into nitric acid,

CAPITAL ORDERS

The country will doubtless join US ia thank

snd The day before, Two orders evidently des-
timed 10 have the happiest effect upon our future
military operations.
The first is the order directing all officers of
the Army of the Potomac then in Washin .ton
TO rejoin their respective commands within
twenty-four hours. Already il has entirely

the latter necessarily here duty. The in
slant Ieturn 10 their respective regiments Of the
large number Of officers thus hurried 10 the
front, must serve greatly increase the eficien-

The second is the order decreeipr that ne
Government railroad service shall hereafter
be efficiently managed, pronouncng the PEN
atty OF instant dismissal of those who fail to
expedite the discharges of freight, &c. 1t may
not be known TO the public that very much OF

supplies grew ont of the distracted state of
things in the management Of the q Governments
affairs on the railroad, recognized in this order
and thus abated by single stroke of the Sec
retary's pen. There can be no doubt that with
the exception of horses, nearly all articles
called for by Gen. Mcclellan for the service of
his army, were instantly ordered to be- for

gcns) were sent 10 the railroad to convey the
