pay and allowances, discharge from service,

GERS, reduction to the ranks. Periods OF con-
fnement, except in aggravated cases, shall not

-General OTuer NO. from tue war DepuCl-
ment, states that "The numerous cases of sol
diers on furloughs who report at points far dis.
tant from their stations without the means Of
travelling further, demand that officers should
use a proper discrimination in granting fur
loughs. The men must either become deseIterS
in fact, or must receive aid from the Government
| in returning to their companies. Department
| commanders are authorized to send men report
| ing under such circumstances to military pos
| or depot, when there is a probability that they
can soon be sent with detachment to the yici
| nifty Of their posts.
I'm special cases, where it shall seem most
| judicious, department commanders. in the eXer
else of a sound discretion, may order transpoT
tation tickets TO be purchased by the Quarter
master for furloughed soldiers, and where thi
is done special report of the amount paid fo
| such transportation viii be made by letter u
same against the soldiers payroll on the music

"The same amount, together with the dat
when the soldier reported himself will be er
tered on his furlough."

One of wa.hlngton's Aides-de-Camp

Among the long-standing Revolutionary
claims which will probably come again to the
notice OF Congress during the present session is
that of the heirs of Colonel William Grayson,
The name is unfamiliar now, but ninety years
ago it was a pillar of strength TO the American
cause. A writer in the National IateDtgencer
gives the following "reminiscences, which will be
entirely new TO most readers:-
"Ihe late John Taiaferro related to me an anec-
dote, the last time ever saw him, of Mr.. Monroe
and Colonel 1rayson, that NAV be repeated They
ing the exciting period which has been ad
verted to he accompanied the former on horse
back to New ork. LaUe in the afternoon, while
on their journey, they arrived at Bladensburg,
where they were met by the latter. The patriot
statesmen and colonies OF the Revolution en-
friends, and dlstantly related, ana lmmedlqtelY
entered into c. nversation upon national affairs
Colonel GraysOn was one or the most fascinating
gentlemen ~ cor Versaton OF the time in which he
lived, and Nj Monroe a courteous and attentive
listener. AS long as he could hold his eyes open
and at late hour he left them tete -tete aud pied.
GOied before a cheerful wood fire. At six the next
morning he descended the stairs ana found them IN
the precise condition IN which he eft them mere
chump OF the lRei remaining unconsumtd In
those das patro heart- knew how 20 reel and
have had happy influence IN Shaping a nations
destinies."
1t may be added that Colonel Grayson was a
colleague of Mr. Monroe in the Continental Con.
eress and in the Virginia Convention. When
the Constitution was ratified by that State he
was elected, with Richard Henry Lee to the
United States Senate. Tll-health however,
compelled him to resign hls seat, and he died
soon after.

ance of Hamlet at the Winter Garden, there will
be presented,to him. by q committee OF represen-
tatlve men In every pursuit OF learning and

"NEw YORK, March g. 1866 Edwin Booth, ESQ.

huence OF beauty Towering INTO a thousand kindly
thoughts and humane deeds which is the true glory
OF art and the pures satisfaction of the artist and
and feature Of blown youth is so subtle and delicate,
so pathetic and powerful, that when we say 1t will

Among the names of the subscribers are those
OF men most eminent as statesmen, soldiers,
poets, editors, sculptors, and painters in this
country, and the medal which gives form to
their feeling of artistic admiration and personal
regard is one OF which Mr.. Booth may, IN every
sense, be proud. It is at present on exhibition
at Titfany's in Broadway, and will continue so
up to the evening of its presentation.

The Mission OF General SheKldan's
Chief QuRrtermRster to TeIas-What
Does it MeRns
NEW ORLEANS, January 16.-The steamer Con-
cordia from Vera Graz on the 10th inst, arrived
here to-day.
The only item of news that is OF much interest
consists in the announcement that Macmillan
had reached the valley of Mexico. He is re-
ported to be still sick with fever and obliged to-
put up at the Hacienda de la Teja. 1t is expected
that he will take up his residence there for some
time.
Another detachment Of French troops was to
embark at Vera Cruz on the 18th instant
ID. L. Lane, United States Consul at Vera
Cruz, has arrived at Concordia. He returns
home for the benefit OF his health.
The mission OF the Chief Quartermaster to
Texas is to make arrangements for the certain
and speedy transportation of supplies to the
new ports which have been established on the
Texas frontier, and for supplying the troops in
the new position which they will take rs soon
as convenient after the French troops shall
have left Mexico.
The special cavalry mission has been in
trusted to General Merritt not Forsyth.

Poisoning Whales.

We have already given an account of the new
invention for killing whales by poison. The
London Post is rather alarmed at the plan. 1t
says:-"A single ounce of the compound suf-
fees TO kill a whale in the course OF a few
minutes-a fact whence one may judge of the
potency of this new poison. Compared with
the prolonged torture Of harpooning, the new
method may be considered as really humane
even as regards the whale; but as regards the
fishermen, whose lives were exposed under the
old system to such proyerblally imminent peril,
the two methods will not bear a comparison.
II there were no other CONTINGENCIES to be taken
into account, the reported invention would be
one of the most useful kind. But if an ounce
OF the poison Will kill a whale in a few
minutes, it would be adequate to the destruction
OF whole shoal OF small fish, which themselves
would be devoured by others, and so on inde6-
nitely. Even supposing that there were no fish
on the spot TO consume the otfal Of the hun
0reds of whales caught and thrown into the
sea, there may be undercurrrents of which we
know nothing to carry 1t to any distance
1t may be said that the fish eating the poisoned
oiial would die themselves, so that no poisoned
fish are likelyto find their way to Billingsgate.
Such destruction OF fish would be deplorable
IN itself; but as the quantity of the poison
would be continually diminishing according to
the number of ish through which it passed,
the dose at last might become so small as not
TO kin for hours, or even days, and the fish
might be caught while yet alive and brought
TO market. The method appears adapted to
diminish the risk OF human life incidental to
whaling, and to be humane as regards the
whale ITSELF which 1t kills so rapidly; but even
these advantages would be purchased at too
dear rate il all the fish of the sea are liable
TO be poisoned as well as the whale"
