promoted for NIeritorlous Services.

Colonel II. II. CLARK, G. S., has been bre'
yetted Brigadier General of the United States
Army for his long and meritorious services
in the Commissary Department General
CLARK was Chief Commissary of the Utah
Expedition under ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON,
and during the nrst three years of the war
of the rebellion he held the position of Chief
Commissary of the Army of the Potomac
In this extended field his arduOus and mul-
hilarious duties were performed in manner
that commanded the respect and admiration
of all subordinate officers brought into Off
cial relations with him. General CLARK is
now Chief Commissary of the post at New
York City and his friends will hail with
pleasure the recognition of his eminent SER
vices by the Government. General CLARK's
keen appreciation of talent and executive
ability in young officers was of great value
TO the service, by enabling him to select sub
orainates who have contributed materially
to the raising of the Commissary Department
to its present high state Of efficiency.

A HINT TO GEORGIA, AND OTHERS
WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

1t appears that the President has found 1t
necessary to convey to the Provisional Gov
ernor of Georgia, through Secretary SEW.
ARD, a hint like that he gave to North Caro-
lima the other day. So many of the south
ern people are possessed Of the notion that
their States are as much bound to pay the
debts incurred by them in fighting against
the Government as loyal men are to pay the
cost of defending it, that President JOHNSON
finds it necessary to give them reminder OF
the fallacy now and then. 1t may be that
the money furnished BooTu and ATZEhODT
to defray the expense of numbering Vice
President JOHNSON forms some portion of the
rebel debts, and it can hardly be expected
that the President would sanction acts that
might compel loyal men, his own personal
friends among the number, to assist in pay
ing the debts thus contracted. And il
he would not approve the payment of the
asssssin's bill who aimed at his own life
we are sure he would not authorize the reim'
bursement Of the expenses Of assnssins who
struck at the life of the nation. He cannot
see the loyalty of those who attempt to step
in through the door of amnesty he ha,
thrown open, with bundle Of unpaid ac.
counts in their hauds for services rendered Il
treason. 1t has been said by Richmond
PAPERS that the political parties have so ur
gently claimed the ownership of the Presiden
It is difficult to ascertain who he belongs to
but we can assure them of one thing, viz

h md will be allowed by him to be thrust into
loyal pockets Ifany ofthemimagine that ou,

facts of the rebellion, or forgetful of his duty
To the country, they would do well to dives
their minds of that capital error, and bring

The United States Consul stationed at

date of September goth: That the cholera,
which has visited with great severity many
eastern towns, has almost ceased to exist at
Beirut, but RACES still at Damascus and
Aleppo. Here less than two thousand per-

The Consul says the mortality per diem at
Beirut has not exceeded 25, but has reached
as high as $50 in Damascus, and 400 in
Americans residing there.
The United States Consul at Messina in
forms the State Department, under date of
September 30th, that the cholera has made
considerable ravages in the eastern portion
of the Kingdom Of Italy and on the shores
of the Adriatio. The Island of Sicily has thus
far been spared Of the scourge, and it is at

Estimating but one-half bale Of cotton to
the acre, and the price next year but fifty
cents per pound, without calculating the
corn, potatoes, and vegetables, and the in
crease of stock, the family would realize the
sum of $1,000 the first year. In all proba.
bility the price of cotton will be far above
that price, and possibly not short of one dol

will be left in the Southern States by next
crop. But to make smaller estimate and

fifty cents, counting but one half bale to
