The Army and Nary Journal says:
"The annual examination Of the cadets
of the Military Academy at West Point
excites unusual attention. this year, both on
account of the general interest which the
war has awakened in the subject of mill
tsry education and owing to the fact that
those two honored graduates of the Aead-
emy-Lieutensnt General Grant and Ma
jor- General Shermsn-hsve improved the
occasion of the examination to return, for
the first time in many years, to the scene of
their early studies. It stabds on the rec
oTo that neither of these distinguished Off
GERS were among the good boys of the in
stitute, General Sherman standing No. 124
in the order of good behavior, and General
G~taptflliug as low IS l47-so near the
bottom, that he must at times had visions
of falling out altogether. In the,
matter or scholarship, too, neither of
them attained a place among the honored
fVs-waiting until after years should give
tulldevelopment to their abilities before
winning their stars. General Sherman,
who stood the first year at No. 9, did, in
deed, graduate No. 6; but the juvenile

Bis strong points were msthemstics, in
which he stood No. 10, and engineering,
No. 16. In philosophy he rose 10 No. Is,
and in mineralogy and geology, No.-17.
The fact that he could never riss above No.

acieDcy, to which ~phrenology would charge
the re~ticence of late years. In drawing,
Grant stood No %; in Chemistry, %; in
Ethics, %; in Artillery Tactics, 20; in H..
fsntry Tactics, %. Sherman was better
IN scholarship than behavior, standing Z in
Engineering, Gin Ethics lin Artillery, and
IL In Infantry Tactics, and 4 in Mineralo-
gy and and Geology. Among Grants
classmates were Generals Franklin, Rey-
nolds, Hsrdee, Peck, Steele, Judah, Ingalls,,

Wright, Seth Williams, A. p. Howe, Rieh-

Pope, we're cotemporsry with him at the
Academy, but in other classes, as also the
rebel Generals u. w. Smith, Bushrod john
son, Mansfield, Lowell and Lcngstreet.
Il is gratifying to the friends of the Mil
itsry Academy TO find that both General
Grant and General Sherman retain q lively
sense of the advantages they derived from
the institution. Roth urge upon the Board
OF Visitors the Importance of increasing the
number OF cadets to meet the requirements
OF an enlarged army.

Mrs. LfneOIu aud s.she National Mon.
umemJ Associations
Mrs. Lincoln has written q letter TO the
National Monument Association whose
headquarters are at Springfield, Illinois,
informing the members that Unless she
could have their pledge that the proposed
monument should be erected over the re-
msins of the President at Oak Ridge Gem
etery, and arrangements should be made
for interring the remains of herself and
children, when they die, in the same Gem
etery, she should accept q proposition for
the removal of the remains to Wsshing-
ton there to be placed in q crypt IN the
capitol prepared for the reception of
George Wsshington's body, but never yet
usec. A committee, headed by Governor
Oglesby, has gone to Chicago to confer
with her upon this subject. Some very
unseemly irritation has been displayed by
the Springfield politicians at this ssser-
ton Of Mrs. Lincoln's wishes. The peo-
pie of Springfield have betrayed q desire
10 make capital for their city out Of the
funeral and grave of the murdered Pres
ident which is in the highest degree insp-
propriAte, and which we do not wonder
that Mrs. Lincoln resents. Mrs. Lincoln's
desire that the monument be pisced over
the body of the President, and that his
remains shall not be separated in death
from those of his family, are natural and
proper. Bat sven if it was not it
certainly demands the highest respect AZ
the wish OF a beresved wife upon a sub
iecs of which she ought to be allowed
sole decision.

1t now seems probable that Mr.. Brough
will be renominsted at the Convention of
June 2lst. A number of county ConEen-
tions have instructed their delegates to go
for him. and, IS we supposed, the opposi-
tiOn to him in the army is not general, but
special, and limited to q few cases where
personal IessonS prevail. The latter does
not necessarily imply any valid objection
to him. W. have seen no statement of any
reason, from the army o elsewhere, why q
Governor 30 able and reliable, we'll indue-
ted into the duties of the Office at an impor-
tant crisis, standing well and sven very
high in the regards of our National rulers,

THE NASHVILLE FIRE.

Destruction of S4,OOO,GOO Of 6OVern

From The Eashv lie Dispatch, jane 10

From the Nasty lie Dispatch, Jano1o.1
One Of the most destructive cpnhsgra-
tiobs that has visited Nashville for many
years, occurred yesterday, at about 2 o'clock
P. NJ, The half of the immense Govern
ment building known rs Taylor Depot, on
Sumner street, below Broad, wss totally
d. stroyed, with all its contents, amounting
to 5 100000 worth of Quartsrmaster3s
stores.
Attic moment the alarm was given, the
. building Was enveloped in -tmoke, which
WAS coming out of all the windows. The
fire hose was immediately directed on the
building, but the elements were already
under fun Roadway, and the water caused
the to burst out in terrific rapldItyi
barely allowing the men in the building to
l.ec pa. Il was reported two government
employees failed 70 get out, and we're burn
ed to death, but, from all the circumstances
attending the early stage Of the fire, we
have every reason TO believe that no lives
| were lost There were two men in the
| building while it was wrspt in flames, but
they were both seen when they got out
one of them jumping through 3 window,
and badly injuring his leg. The following
list comprises the bulk Of property de-
%stroyed: ..m..rf go
IN the cellar there were about 5000 900
pounds Of wagon grease, 100 barrels of tar,
10000 pounds of Oakum, and 200 bales of
oakum, 300 pounds of pitch, about 1000
pounds of tanners grease, 1000 wheelbar-
rows 1900 water buckets, 500 sets OF black
4 smith tools, 300 snviik, 200 bellows, 200
! potable oforges, 800 Vises, an immense
/ quantity of running gear and 500 heating
stoves. r1rC .rfr -rv- .s.ls
Ga the first floor there were $1,000
pounds OF harness leather, 10000 kegs of
horse ehoe and cut nails, 5000 boxes of
shest tin IS, 1000 pounds of iron washers,
1000 POUNDS of rope, 2 900 pounds of paint,
$500 gallons of meats foot oil, 9,000pounds
OF bride leather, 1000 feet of betting,
200 circular saws, 1000 picks and handles,
5000 lanterns, IL, 600 flies, 1000 hay forks
1900. axes and handles, 10000 augurs,
about 300 chests of valuable horse medi-
cines 5000 wagon covers, 5000 sets Of hsr-
ness, 5000 horse brushes, 5000 jockey
!, sticks, 1900 neck straps, 5000 hsier
chains, 5000 bride bits, 2, 900 wagon spokes,
and an immense quantity Of boxes con-
taining glass. ,e ..-
Captain Wainwright estimates the prop
erty st about $4,000, 600, of which 81 O0O,-
4 900 will be received from the iron, which is
not materially damaged. The two build
iDgs are divided by two brick walls running
TO the tip of each, built for the express pur-
pose of srrestiug the destruction of both
buildings in the event of . fire, and they
efeetuslly accomplished the object for
which they we're constructed. This excel
lent precaution, we are credibly informed,
is due to General Donaldson, at whose sug-
gestion they were built. Thenorthern half
Of the building contains coInmissary stores,
and its contents are not half as valuable as
the building destroyed.

EchnnI Commissioner.

The Cadiz Republican suggests the name
of Captain John A. Norris, of Harrison
county, as a suitable candidate for the
Office Of School Commissioner. Captain
Norris Is a graduate OF Kenyon College, a
disabled soldier, and at present Provost
Marshal Of the 10th District. The present
incumbent, Emerson E. White, is also 8
candidate. It will be borne in mind that
MI. White wss appointed by Governor
Brough after the compulsory resignation
of the former trRitorous incumbent. Mr..
White took the ofice under most embar-
RAISING circumstances, and has discharged
its duties with ability and success. We
hope the usual compliment of are-nomis

DR.. CD. LIGRTHILES first visit TO
Ohio was induced by numerous applications
for treatment from parties unable to visit
New York for that purpose, and who can
not be successfully treated except after q
personal examination. His practice has
been so successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several tunes. Still he
finds that 1t is almost IS difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in competence with the re-
quest of many citizeps he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points 10 Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters SO that al who
desire can consult HIM. -
For the past twelve years DR.. Lighthin
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment of deafness and cstarrh in its vari.
ous forms. He has practiced in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until afew months past he was associated
with his cousin, De. E. B Lighthill, and
together they have acquired a standing
which has earned for the "Lighthil In.

Guard
Gov Brough is assailed for his action in
calling out the National Guard of Ohio.
We are sure those who reflect pom him
for this, do not well consider the momen-
tous peril of the hour which Ohio was thus
called in 10 avert. By promptly throwing
the National Guard into the service, Gen.
Grant was relieved and strengthened and
enabled to perfect his plans and carry out
his great designs against the enemy, which
resulted in the fail of Richmond and the
overthrow Of the rebellion. But for the
timely aid of the National Guard of Ohio,
In q critical moment, Grant could not have
moved with CELEBRITY and effectthe struggle
would have been protrscted, and the REBEL
lion to-day, would be raging in strength.
When the impartial history of the great
and bloody conflict shall be written, one of
the brightest pages will be devoted to the
timely action of the National Guard of
Ohio, and to the forecast and decision of
its noble and patriotic Executive, when
the nation was trembling in the very crisis
of its fate. Whatever the assaults of the
present hour, the fame OF John Brough, as
an able and faithful executive, is secure

Why warren vas RemoHsd.


The following passage in General Sheri.
dams report of his last campaign throws
some light on the removal of General War
rem at the battle of Five Forks:
ain this connection I will say that GEN
eral Warren did not exert himself to get
up his corps as rapidly as he might have
done, and his manner gave me the impress
sion that he wisehd the sun to go down
before the dispositions for the attack could
be completed. As soon IS the corps was in
position 1 ordered an advance. The 9Th
corps, on reaching the White Oak Road,
made 9 left wheel and burst on the enemy's
left flank and rear like q tornado, and push
ed rapidly on, orders having been given
that if the enemy was routed, there should
be no halt to refof m the broken lines. AS
stated be.ore, the firing of the 9Th corps
was the signal 10 Gen. Merritt to assault,
which was promptly responded to, and
the works of the enemy were
soon carried at sword point by our
brave cavslrymen. The enemy were div
en- from their strong line of works, and
completely routed. The 9th Corps doub.
ling up their flank in confusion, and the
cavalry of General Merritt dashing on the
White Oak road, capturing their artillery
and turning it upon their broken ranks, So
demorslized them that they made no Sc
rious stand after their line was carried. but
took to fight in disorder. Between five
thousand and six thousand prisoners fell
into our hands, and the fugilives we're driv-
en- westward, and were pursued until long
after dark by Merritts and McKinzie's
cavalry, for a distance of six miles. Du-
ring this attack l again became dissatisfied
with General Warren. During the en-
gsgement portions of his line gave way
when not exposed to heavy fire, and sim
ply from want of confidence on the part of
the troops, which General Warren did not
exert himself to inspire. 1 therefore re-
lieved him from the command of the 9Th
Corps, authority for this action having
been sent TO me before the battle unso-

DR. LIdHTHmL-Desr Sir: Allow me to
express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered TO my dsugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some, months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense is certainly q
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and 10 q degree known only to those who
have experienced it. II, therefore, there
be a remedy Tor this great evil, the cause
OF humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. 1 feel
1t my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
happy effects Of your treatment and rene
dies. Mydsughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly disessed. The right ear,
also, Tor several yeas was seriously affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss Ct hearing. It
was with extreme difficulty that she could
participate in the Conversation of her
friends, and for two J ears has been de-
priyed of this source of social Enjoyment.
Happily my attention WAS directed to your
advertisement, and L was induced to place
her in yOuEeare. Your treatment, under
care of q kind Providence, has been sue
cessfuL Her hearing, SO far ss 1 can Judge,
appears to DO perfectly restored. WheLh-
er this restoration is permanent is q ques-
ton time alone can determine, but present
results are certainly very gratifying.
