ing tribute to the memory of brave
Vermonter, which we copy from the
New York Times, is from the pen OF
Brigadier General Alvord, who, as our
readers know is also native of the same
State;
The death OF Brig. Gen. Geo. Wright,
of the United States Volunteers, drown
ed on the 30th of July last, on the steam
ship Brother Jonathan, Off the coast Of
Southern Oregon, deserves some more
extended notice OF his life and charac-
ter than has yet appeared. He was
native ofNorwich VT, born in 1908, and
was, therefore, about siXty-two years of
age. He graduated at West Point in
1922, and had previously graduated at
Partridge's Military School at Norwich.
He was commissioned Second Lieuten-
ant in the Third Infantry, when first
appointed into the army; was Adjutant
from 1888 to 1886; was appointed Cap
tain of the Eighth Infantry July Z,
1888; was breveted major for good
conduct in the Florida war, March 10,
1912 lieutenant colonel for galantry at
Contreras and Cherubusco, Aug 20, and
colonel for Molino del Ray, Sept. s, lS47
where he was wounded became major
Of the Fourth Infanty July l, 1913; lieu
tenant colonel Feb. 8, 1865, and colonel
of the Ninth Infantry March 8, 1855
He performed important services in the
Indian wars in Oregon and Washington
Territories in 1856 and 1858. He was
made brigadier- general of volunteer;
Sept. IS, 1861 was at one time com
mander Of the district Of Oregon, ant
afterwards commanding general OF the
department o. the Pacific. On the ar
rival of Gen. Mcdowell, at San Fran
cisco in June, 1864, he was placed il
command Of the district of California
with his headquarters at Sacramento
At the date of his death, he was en- rout
to Fort Vancouver, W. T., to assum
command OF the department Of Colum
bia. 1t had just been created, embrac
ing the State Of Oregon and the Terri
tories of Washington and Idaho.
He was talented and distinguish
soldier, and an accomplished officer
frank genial and dignifed in his mar
=, ners. Long will Californians remembe
the deep interest he took in the recer
> conflict which has agitated the country
He made on various occasions, stirrin
speeches at Sacramento, calculated
keep bright on the affairs the fire of 10,
atty and devotion to an undivided coul
, try. He possessed fair abilities an
and great personal influence, and h
, long contact-since 1852-with the PEI
; pie on the Pacific coast, enabled him
exercise much prestige in favor of tt
, Union party. He freely useu .HHsstt !,
! fuence, and his motives were, doubtles
, OF the most honorable and patriot
character. Previous to every Odd {
, February, he always, in General Order
cnjoined the celebration of the da
He was an ardent admirer and follow,

1t is hard for the friends of Geo. Wrigl
to see him thus make his exit by tt
F sinking of a steamship on a sunke
rock. He would gladly have closed h
career on the battle field, in the recel
war, fighting for the preservation of OF
unity and our liberties.

Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1865-04-25

The entire public, almost without dis
tinction of party, seems TO hfye been
shocked by the announcement of Sher-
mans terms. Every one seems 10th to
believe that the faYorite son of Ohio, whose
brilliant strategy and irresistible marches
have excited the admiration of the world,
can have made such terms as these, and
the general feeling seems TO be that if he
has done so he has tsrnished his glory with
q stain which esn never be wiped away
There is 8 general hope that some excuse
may yet be found for the conduct of their
favorite. We esrtsinly STARE this desire,
but our hope is very faint. The terms are
too positive, the facts too distinct, to admit
OF essential psllistiOn.

The New York Post says that the day
before the Baltimore Convention met, Mr..
Ward, Of New Jersey, q delegate to that
body, waited on Mr.. Lincoln, and asked
him whom he preferred for Vice President.
he declined announcing any distinct pref
erenee, butdwelt especially upon the claims
Of Andrew johnson, whom he character
lied as eminently man for the times
capable, honest, and of inhexible loyalty
and jndOmitable viii, whose selection fog
Vice President would afford him (Mr.
Lincoln) supreme satisfaction. Mr.. Ward
left the President with the strong convic-
ton that no man in the country possessed
his esteem and confidence more than
hr. johnson. At q subsequent interview
on the 9th Of March, the President reiters-
ted all he had previously said in Mr.. John
sons praise, remsrking that the country
owed him debt of gratitude for his un-
shrinking sacrifice and heroic labors in its
behalf, which could never be paid. He
still felt that he had, in the new Vice
President, one whose aid would be of ines
unable value in the work before him. No
man, he said, had right to judge Andrew
johnson in any respect, who had not suf-
Jered ss much and done IS much as he had
for the nations sake.

DR.. G. B. LIGHTHILLS first visit to
Ohio was induced by numerous applica-
tions 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 30 successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost IS difficult for some
parties desiring his services, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quests of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters, SO that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years Dr.. Lighthlll
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment Of deafness and cstarrh in its vsri-
Gus forms. He has prscticed in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until a few months past, ne was associated

gether, they have acquired standing
which has earned for the "Lighthil In

Infamous Heroes,

To the Editor of the Morning Leader
R:-The public will concur in your
remarks upon Gen. Lee. Whatever of
virtue or ability themsn had, are obscured,
blackeued, by his meanness, treschery and
cruelty, especially to prisoners. He at
least assented to the murder of thousands
whom he should have protected and
honored as brave man whom he had met
on the field Of battle.
But are not you and other members of
the press doing much, unconsciously, to ele-
vste Booth into hero by retailing snec-
dotes of his wonderful capabilities
ss q player and q msn2 His
person and accomplishments are adorned
with an air of romance. He had match
less beauty of form; be performed prodigies
as "a good shot," sc. Now we can afford
to be blissfully ignorant of all such things
He is black hearted, bloody handed vii
lain, and as such only let him be held up
to the public scorn and infsmy. Our
young men are fascinated with the things
l condemn; the love and use of deadly
weapons are promoted, of which we have
already too much among US; and the pop
ulsr abhorsnce of the dark crime is almost
Lost sight of in dwelling upon the exquisite
skill with which it was accomplished.
l very much question, too, the good taste,
and dread the neral effect, of exhibiting
the murderer of our late President in thea
tres and other places of public amusement.
This is the very fame the villain sought.
Fie upon those who award it Such prsc-
tees, too, contribute to.spresd murderous
contsgion in d community, by making mur-
ders famous. Forgive this cavest of
Yours, j B. R.

Wooden Morfars.

A New Orleans paper, speaking of the
capture of Mobile, says:
In this battle 8 novel implement of war
was used, and one which, according to rebel
statements wss most destructive. General
Macarthur had half dozen mortsrs made
of the wood of the gum tree, and they were
used during the whole attack. One shell
from a wooden gun is known TO have kill
ed and wounded eleven Confederate SOL
diers, aud the rebels assert they we're the
most destructive guns used. Two'ot these
wooden mortsrs have been brought TO the
city by Colonel Thomas and Captain Nc
Lean, and will be open to inspection at the
st. Charles Hotel to morrow. It is the
design of these officers to send these "new
tangled" guns to the Chicago Sanitary
Commission Fair, to see how much they
viii bring in aid of the soldiers. One hun
dred shells were fred from one of these
mortArs
