The New York Commercial has received from
London, a copy of the Pohoto0rGph Journal
containing what Purports to be a fac simile OF
the "orders and instructions found on thedoad
body OF Col. Dahlgren." The ComnlsrciGlsa says.
In the copy now before us the following pc
culiarities attract attention;
In the first place, neither the "Orders' nor
the ''inBtructions" bear any date. They are
simply written out under q printed Official
heading, as follows:
HEADQUARTERS Third rlvIsIos,l
CAVALRY toRPs, 'S6t
In the second place, Col. Dahlgren's name lie
signed In Q full bold hand, not L. Dahlgren,
but U. Dalhgren. It has been generally sup.
posed that the former was the photography OF
the name, aud II the general supposition be-
correct, this circumstance would go far toward
proving the document to be q forgery, and q
clumsy forgery.
In tho third place, the words "and JEFF.
Davis and Cabinet killed." which have been
most extensively cited from these papers, TO
the discredlt of Col. Dahlgreh's memory and
our own national Injury, are written upon q
line which may very we'll have ended originally
II the papers be genuine, with the word do
etroyed;" the rest b. Ing written In by an imi
tAtor Of the Colonel's hand writing.
Upon this point the curious testimony elicltet
In recent case at Mr.. Cisco's Office woulC
throw light.
At all events we now have the meaus Of put
ting down finally, " Il be false, q charge which
has done and will do us an Infinite deal o
mischief the underworld over.
