A WsnthsrItrn

A few days since the streets and house tops
Of Washington were covered with snow, the
air was piercing cold, and the icy-clad forest
trees along the Virginia highlands greeted the
rising sun like an army with lHnces. To-day,
how changed. The snow has disappeared, the
sun shines out FROM cloudless sky, the air is
as balmy as the breath of June, the trees are
swelling with buds, bright flowers are seen in
the open windows, and, as a natural conse-
quence, instead Of observing men with over.
coats, hurrying to and fro, to keep from freez-
ing, Pennsylvania Avenue is crowded with
beautiful ladies in spring attire, some with sun,
shades, and the bright varlagated colors Of
whose dresses gives the rainbow touch to tho
lively and enchanting scene Such Is Washing,
ton to-day.

JUST ORDER PRoMPrLrAPp
ALL HAIL To GEN ROBERT B. MITCHELL,

ALL HAIL To GEN. ROBERT D. MITCHELL
The following order may be deemed by some
severe, but when we view II in It's true light, II
is oply an attempt to meet an evil that should
have been obyiated long while since, Wis the
alacrity with which rebels seize every oppor-
tunIty, outside Of the law, to make bold de-
monstration Of their sympathles with those
who are In rebellion against this Government.
General Mitchell has promptly met the evil in
Nashville. His order has the true ring about
II, and we hope to hear that similar orders will
be Issued elsewhere:
HEADQUARTERS. UNIUED STATES FoRCRs.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. l, 1868.
The general commanding at this post desires
to express his admiration of the zeal eyinced
by certain secession families In administering
to the wants and alleViating the sutferings OF
the Confederate wounded to-day brought to this
city.
Great praise should he awarded them for their
devotion to the suffering soldiers Of that cause
TO which they are so enthusiastically allied.
Desiring to give them still greater facilities
for the exercise Of that devotion which to-day
led them through the mud of the public streets
ofthis city, nnmindful OF the inclemency of the
weather, and desiring farther to obyiatc the
necessity Of that public and Haunting display,
which must be repugnant to the retiring dis
positions Of the softer sex, the general COM
manding directs as follows
Surgeon Thurston, medical director, will se-
lect forty-lve Of the wounded and sick Confed-
crate soldiers this day brought from the front
to be quaTtered as follows;
Flfteen at the house Of Mrs. Mccall, fifteen
at the house Of DR.. Buchanan, and hfteen at
the house Of Mr.. Sandy CaTter--all on Cherry
street, Immediately below Church street.
As It is desirable that the sick and wounded
should not be ugitated by the presence of too
many persons, no one will be admitted 10 the
rooms In which the wounded are, except their
surgeons, without passes from Surgeon Thurs.
ton.
Each family above named will be held re,
spOnsible for the safe delivery of the Confed.
crate soldiers thus assigned when called for by
the proper military authority, under penalty
in failure Of such delivery, Of forfeiture to The
United States Of their property and persona
liberty.
By order Of ROBERT b. MITCHELL,

The condition Of Pennsylvania avenue, and ol
