Major General W. S. Hancock on Monday
issued the following orders:
MILITARY DEPARTMENT.. !
BALTIMORE, Md, December4, 1865.
General Orders No. 34.-The necessity
for such organization having ceased, the
Provost Marshall Department in this com.
mand Except in the city of Baltimore) is
hereby discontinued. All officers doing duty
in that department will be at once relieved,
and instructed to forward to Brevet Briga.

papers and funds in their possession pertain
ing to their respective offices.
Until further orders, post commanders
will attend to the duties heretofore per-
formed by Provost Marshals.

MAJOR GENERAL w. S. HANCOCK
Adam e. King, Assistant Adjutant General.
Official j. B. Parker, A. d. C. J.
General Order No. IS, issued on the
same day, asks that Thanksgiving Day be
observed in a proper manner by the troops
throughout the limits ofthe command. The
Baltimore Gazette, in referring to these Or
ders, makes the following well timed re-
marks:
Two General Orders were issued yester-
day by the Major General commanding this
department. Order No. "a directs that the
Provost Marshal's Department, except in
the city of Baltimore, be discontinued. Or.
der No. 35 reminds the officers and men of
the army that the President has designated
December the 18th as day of national thanks
giving, and enjoins them to testify by their
demeanor that they participate in the gener-
al gratitude for the deliverance of the Ma.
ton. That the Provost Marshal's Depart
ment, as it has been conducted for four years,
has been discontinued is certainly matter
over which we can rejoice. That the army
is thankful over the result of the war we can
well understand. But there are thousands
of men here who have been subjected to
every kind of oppression that an arbitrary
Government can infict. Their houses have
been invaded, and their property has been
seized. They have been imprisoned with.
out cause, andthey are to-day not only dis
franchised, but politically enslaved. If they
fail, on Bonded knees, on December the It'll,
to express before high Heaven their gratitude
for the situation in which they find them.
selves, we trust they will be pardoned for the
apparent obduracy of heart they may mani
fest.

musical tone Tor which our instruments are cee-
brated.
Another objection To this method of blowing
was, that both teet being occupied, opportunI-
~ was offered for the management Of the swell
Nlthin the past two ears, instruments construct
ed on this European plan CT 50 double blowers, -
have been manufactured IN this country, and to
counteract this difficulty want of swelJ a lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, To act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee The inconvenience and contortion neces
sary TO effect this object are disagreeable enough
TO a gentleman, but 10 a lady tho use OF such an
appendage Is nearly impossible.
Our Autmatic device oEVIates this difficulty en-
ureiy the simple act OF blowing with more or less
torce giving tha desired increase or decrease IN
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence OF our Melode cons has not
oeen questioned, aud tor two wears past the enor-
nous demand has made IL impossible Tor US 10
meet our orders promptly. With our increased
iacHitles, we feel warranted IN assuring our pat
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance OF their patronage.
