Forgeries.
New YORK, Nov. Is.
The Herald's Washington dispatch of last
evening says, by the direction OF the President
Maj. Charles j. Whiting, of the I'd U. S. cav
airy, is dlshonorably discharged from the SER
vice, Tor using contemptuous and disrespectful
words against the President Of the United
States.
Maj. Gems. Meade, Newton and Pleasanton
and Brig. Gen. Fitzpatrick arrived in town on
Friday night. 1t is understood that General
Meade proposes, should the situation of affairs
at the front permit, TO attend the Inauguration
Of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg on
the 10Th inst, and that the Army of the Poto-
mac shall be represented on that occasion by
a detachment from each division of the army
engaged in that battle.
Orders have been issued TO the Command
ants of Navy Yards to reduce the labor en-
ployed fifteen per cent, In view OF the DELAY
arising in the progress of the machinery con-
structing for the new vessels in consequence
of the existing strike, and suspension OF work
by the machinists heretofore employed upon
government work.
The 18th Illinois cavalry, Lieut.. Col Has
orOHch DdfiS commanding, mas Deen ordered
to Illinois to be reorganized as a veteran regi-
ment. The privates, six hundred in number,
are nearly unanimous in favor of re-enlisting
in the service under the arrangement proposed
and will re-enlist and be mustered into service,
each private receiving s402 bounty. The reg
iment will be recruited at home to its full
standard in a short time, and return to duty
in the field.
The funeral services of the officers and SOL
diers of the 9Th and 9th Maine regiments who
were slain in the recent fight at Rappahan-
mock station, will be held at Armory Square
Hospital tomorrow Sunday at two O'Clock
P. NJ. A full company with the band of the
18th Maine regiment, have been detailed for
duty on the occasion.
Considerable excitement has been OCCASION
ed in socia? circles by the discovery OF forger-
les of paymasters checks to considerable
extent, by the young son of a banker OF this
city. His father has advanced an amount
equal to the sum acquired by the forger from
one or more paymasters, but declines to 20
farther. The amount of the forgeries are un-
known, but will probably reach $4,000. This
amount has undoubtedly been spent in graft
tying the young mans passion Tor gambling
and fast horses.

guns for the time being
Gen. Gilmore recently threw ordinary shell
into Charleston to try the range of his guns.
The correspondent presumes, however, that
Charleston will not be sheled until the mont
tors are in position in the rebellion roads.
when its surrender can be demanded accord
ing to all the forms and usages of war. The
rebels have at least 1000 negroes working on
the batteries on Sullvans Island, but many of
them will be found useless when the great day
of trial comes.
The correspondent concludes that the pros
poets Of early and successful results were
never more promising than now, and indi-
rectly refers to an experiment recently made,
which was SO full Of success that the rebel OBJ
structons are no longer to be feared, and it is
his firm conviction that we shall have Charles
ton or its ruins between now and Christmas.
