As an evidence of Gen. Hoods determination to
increase the strength and efficiency of the army,
was shown to day an order just issued from head
quarters, requiring all able bodied men in the diff
ierent departments to report at once to- the 'front.'
and requiring, whenever il can be done, the heads
of departments to perform their own clerical labor,
and when that is imprscticable,. the employment
of men unfit fD the field This order is directed
not only to QuartermaSters, Commissaries, Com
mandants of Posts, Provost Aarshas and Surgeons,
but also TO the Generals Entorced, rs | have as
surance he intends it shall be, it vail bring several
thousand additional men to the field. It will be
received with great satisfaction by our gallant men
now confronting the enemy, and trust will not
meet the displeasure even Of those upon whom it
is inteDded to operate The sentiment behind the
aFmy should contribute to its enforcement. Cor

HEqDYING MOZART w olfgang Mozart, the great
German composer, died at Vienna IN the year 79l.
There is something beautiful and touching in the
circumstances of his death. His sweetest song was
the last he sung-the Requiem. He had been EN-:
ployed upon this exquisite piece for several weeks,
his soul filed with inspirations of richest melody,
and already claiming kindred with immortality
After giving it its last touch, and breathing into it
that undyingsprit of song which was to consecrate
it through al time his rcygnean strain he fell
into a gentle and quiet slumber. At length the
light footsteps of his daughter Emile awoke him.
"Come hlther," said he, "my Emilie-my task is
done-the ,Requiem-nay Requiem is finished. -
"Say not So, dear father" said the gentle girl, in
terruptiDg him, ss tears stood in her eyes. "You
must be better-you look better, for even now your
cheek has glow upon i'll am sure we will nurse
you well again-let me bring you something re-
freshing" "DO not deceive yourself my love-"
said the dying father, this wasted form never
be restored by human aid From heavens mercy
alone do look for aid, in this my dying hour
You spoke of refreshment my Emile take these
my last Dotes-sit down to my piano here-sing
with them the hymn of your sainted mother--let
me once more hear those tones which have been so
long my solacement and delight" Emile obeyed,
and with a voice enriched with tenderest emotion,
sung the following stanzas; *, 8 -..- s# s. -
T. Spirit thy labor is o'erI .a.

Thy steps are now bound for the untroddeu shore,

new our acquaintance, and have since been
honored by his friendship. The Opin-
ions. therefore, which I have formed con-
cerning him, are not founded solely upon
observation of his public acts or writings;
although there is but little need to put
forward the judgments Of private inter-
courses. General McClellan's qualities
as a man and statesman stand before
the world upon tests which all intelligent
persons can apply. His accomplishments
as a soldier are by no means the limit Of
his powers. A broad, capaciOus, and
cultivated intellect, we'll instructed in the
principles and history of our institutions;
great faculty for calm and wise think
ing; solid judgments a power Of self
control that has been tried by greater
and worse provocations than even Wash
ington was subjected to, and that has
proved as strong as Washington's; a as
gacity in perceiving the characters OF
men, which will insure him, I confident
Ily predict, from unworthy Influences
strong religious principle, entire purity
of life, and fervant patriotism-these are
some of the characteristics Of man who,
still under the age of forty, has wider
personal popularity than any other liv-
ing American. How strange it would be,
now that a great party has named such a
man for the highest office in the land, and
has assumed his public principles as its
policy, if he were not to be the choice OF
majority of the people. How strange
it is, that such a man should be the suba
! ject of gross Misrepresentation and mis-
conception. One hears, occasionally,
from persons otherwise intelligent, an
amount of prejudice concerning General
Mcclellan, and a degree of credulity
equal to the reception of the most mon
strous fabrications, that are so astonish-
ing that one is tempted to ask how such
persons can have acquired such impress
/ ions or what their modes of forming their
opinion can be. But the influence Oi
party over the mind is too old a thing to
need elucidation, and the arts by which
the unscrupulous make use Of that infu,
ence have not been invented for this par,
ticular era. It will be a good proof Of
our iutenige ence and virtue as people i
we shall now break that influence and de
feat those srts.

And Yet One IIoro.

THE Hon. E. C. Seaman of the Ann
Arbor journal, one of the most able and
popular editors in Michigan, has taken
down the Lincoln and johnson ticket,
and hoisted that Of Mcclellan and Pen
dleton. At the conclusion Of long ar
ticle in review of Lineoln's policy lie
sayss
"Being well satisfied with the nomina-
ton of General Mcclellan, and with the
resolutions constituting the platform ad-
opted by the Democratic National Con
vention, we shall give our support to that
ticket, and have taken from the head Of
our columns the name of Abraham Lin
coin and Andrew johnson, and substitu-
ted in their places the names Of George
B. Mcclellan and George Fl. Pendleton.
We do this in the full and firm belief,
that it is impossible to restore the Union,
and to establish peace throughout the
United States, under the emancipation
policy adopted and persisted in by the
present administration and that it is
necessary to change our rulers, with a
view to a change Of the policy Of the
Government, that those most desirable
and important objects may be attained.
