The following instructions from the Secretary of
War have been issued for the information and
guidance of military commanders:
''The authority heretofore given to military
commanders to order the discharge of enlisted
men for disability is hereby revoked and here.
after all discharges of regulars, except rejected
and ali discharges of volunteers except recruits
rejected at the mlfster-in, who are discharged by
the mastering officer, and called rejected re-
cruits" will be given ONLY on the order of the
commanding officer of the corps or department
in which the man may be serving at the time of
discarge. This will not be understood to confer
upon corps or department commanders authori-
ty to grant discharges to enlisted men, except by
order from the War Department, to accept pro-
motion or expiration of term of service for disa-
bility or by sentence of a general court-martial.
Officers and soldiers of the volunteer force, dis
charged on Expiration of term of service, should

GRANTS NEW BAsE.-Grants campaign COM
menced with the army at Culpepper and Fairfax,
with an overland communication of about seven
ty miles, by the Orange and Alexandria Rail-
road, with Washington, which was thus his real
BASE His movements and present degree OF
success have changed his base to Fredericksburg
with water communications in part by the Rap
pahannock direct, and an overland route OF only
fifteen miles to Acquia Creek, on the Potomac
Thus the Copperhead prophecy that Grants base
would be heightened as he advances, meets with
a sudden and overwhelming contradiction in the
fact that it has already been shortened by dis
lance as great as that now remaining between
him and Richmond. Instead of the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad he will now have the Erich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac" railroad.
Instead of an overland communication of seven
ty miles, which he had at the start, he has now
one of but fifteen miles; and should he advance
on his present base, to the Notifications in
front of Richmond, his overland route to his base
will still be shorter than when the campaign
opened. He has already tested the point wheth-
Lee will attempt to flank this position by Civ
ing him the full opportunity to do so in the last
battle But Lee declined the pressing invita-
tion,'' preferring to look after his own base
than Grants. Grant is not the man
"To drag at each remove a lengthening chain"
Judging from the past Grant will shorten, in
stead of lengthen, his base as he approaches
Richmond.

The New " Emperor of Mexico.

Ferdinand Macmillan Joseph, Archduke OF
Austria, and Emperor of Mexico by the intrigues
of Louis Napoleon, says. Hdrpea's Weekly, is the
son of Archduke Francis Charles and of Arch
duchess Sophia, Princess of Bavaria, and is the
eldest brother of the present Emperor of Aus
tria, Francis Joseph 1. He was born July 6, 1882,
and is now consequently just in the fresh sum-
mer of his years. He holds the rank of Admiral
and Commander in Chief of the Austrian Impe-
real Marine, having worked his way up from the
lowest rank of his profession, aided very mate
rally, of course, by the fact of his exalted BIRTH
He is described remarkably plain and re-
publican sort of parsonage, and has certainly
enjoyed great popularity in his rule over the
people of the Lombardo Venete, and in every
other position he has filled. Ambition is proba-
bly, his greatest weakness. The offer of the i'm
perial crown of Mexico was made to the Arch
duke by a Mexican deputation on October 3, 1868,
and accepted by him under the condition of the
election being ratified by the whole Mexican
nation. The latest advices from Europe repre-
sent that the Emperor was about to sail for Mex
leo to take possession of his throne, in occupancy
of which he is to be supported by force drawn
from two sources. A Foreign Legion, in the
service and pay of Macmillan 2. A body Of
native Mexicans, such as can be hired to uphold
the usurpation. The Foreign Legion which is
to consist at first of 5000 men, is making up in
part from the army of Paris, and the first install
ment of 500 men were embarked at Cherbourg
three weeks ago. The wife of Macmillan is
Princess Charlotte, daughter of King Leopold l,
of the Belgians, to whom he was married July
81, 1857. Princess Charlotte was born June Z,
$780, and is consequently twenty-fOur years OF
age, and is said to be woman of many charms
of character.

THE SUCCESSOR OF GENERAL SEDGwICK.-Ho
ratio Gates Wright, the brigadier chosen by
Meade to succeed General Sedgwick in COM
mand of the famous Sixth corps, is Connecticut
man, as his predecessor was. He was appointed
to the Military Academy at West Point, in 1887,
and in 1841 received the commission of second
lieutenant of engineers. The next year he be-
came acting assistant professor of engineers in
1916 he was made first lieutenant of engineers;
in August 1861, he became major of engineers,
and the next month he was made brigadier gene
raj of volunteers. He has shown himself a brave
and capable officer in his new position, and was
undoubtedly chosen by Gen. Meade because of
the excellent qualities he was known to possess.

Wars Doings to One Family.

If could do justice to the stories of fortitude,
loyalty and loss, which sometimes reach us from
the sanitary rooms About two weeks ago a wo-
man arrived there with the remains of her son,
who had served in the army three years; and
had he lived few months longer, would have
been sixteen years of age. have his story from
a member of the committee.
In August, 1861, being then II years of age,
James Henry-enlisted as drummer in the
18th New Hampshire Regiment where he served
IA months. He then re-enlisted, and served
months in the 10th New Hampshire Regiment,
and again in the LIST Maine Heavy Artillery. He
died in March, at Fort Summer Hospital. The
mother said this boy, who was evidently her pet,
her Benjamin, had been the first of the fami-
ly to enlist; shortly after, his father enlisted,
served year in the 10th Maine Regiment, and
died at Lynchburg. In the same month of the
fathers death, another son enlisted, in the 18th
Maine Regiment, was in battle at Gettysburg,
and has never since been heard from.
During the year, too, the third and last
son enlisted in the 18th United States Regulars,
and was wounded in the head at Gettysburg,
discharged for permanent disability, and is now
at home imbecile from his wound. The care of
the mother an inirm grandparent and an i'm
beetle brother, had fallen upon the little drum
mer boy Being small of stature, besides his
YOUTH he could not earn a mans wages and
proposed re-enistng. His mother had fore
bodings, and demonstrated; but he reminded
her of his former good fortune, of the bounty
money, of time when the war should be over;
and she consented.
He served two months and here was his ashes !!
The mother behaved with Roman frmness.-
She would not say that she regretted giving up
her all to the war; "The country needed them,
and it was only right they should CO." Draw

how many such desolate homes there are in the
