FEsTIyAL.-The Festival given BY
the Ladies of the Episcopal Church on Wed
nesday and Thursday evenings of last week,
was, without doubt, the greatest success OF
anything in the way of Festivals ever gotten
up in this city. The arrangement of the Hall
was tasteful, and the articles exhibited for
sale were unusually fine and abundant The
ladies of that Church are certainly entitled
to great credit for their untiring exertions
in preparing for the Festival, and the re-
ceipts show that those excrtions were not
unappreciated. On the two evenings, we
understand their gross receipts exceeded
one thousand dollars, which, We believe. IS
to be appropriated towards the building Of

DEATH OF GEN. SETH WILLIAMS

A despatch received to-day at the War De.
partment gives the sad intelligence that Gen.
s. Williams died at Boston last night. HIS
disease was softening of the brain, induced by
his severe and continuous labor as Assistant
Adjutant General of the Army of the Potomac,
which positlsn he held for nearly four
years, under the different commanding officers
of that army. No officer Of any grade bore a
higher character for integrity, honor, and I'M.
tagging zeal for the success Of our arms. In
the darkest hours he never wearied nor fal.
tered, and he went through the war esteemed
and respected by all who knew him, and, most
of all, by the superior officers with whom he
was most intimately and confidentially asso-
ciated. Gen Williams had no enemies. Few
officers OF the army were more generally
known, and no one was more universally
beloved.

A MISUNDERSTANDING CoRRrcrpn

The editor of radical Republican newspa-
per published in Boston, called the Right Way
and which is distributed gratuitously, made a
statement recently that Maj. Gen. Howard had
volunteered to distribute the papers over the
South through his office. The attention of the
General having been called to this announce
ment, ne addressed a communication to the
publisher Of the Right Way, requesting him to
withdraw his name from all connection with
the paper or its distribution. Gen. Howard
had simply given his consent, some time since.
IN an UNOFFICIAL way, to the papers being sent
directly to the officers Of the bureau.

TOO MERITORIOUS.

Some time ago man who lost an arm In the
service as apriyate soldier and was promoted to
captaincy for gallantry, made application to
the Pension Office for pension, and was in.
formed that having been an enlisted man when
wounded ne was not entitled to be pensioned as
an officer. Finding that In the matter Of priyi-
irges he was regarded as an enlisted man, he
Then applied to the Surgeon General, for an ar.
tifcial arm, as artificial limbs are furnished by
the Government 10 all enlisted men manned
III the service, and was informed that having
been commissioned officer, he was not en-
titled to an artificial limb. The Surgeon Gene
rail- however, when informed Of the Pension
ONCE decision, granted the order for an arm,
