A gentleman of this city who was
for some time during the war chief
mastering officer Of the Department
of Washington, refers to fact which
was well known and severely com
nented upon by the officers in the
volunteers. This was the conduct
of Governor Seymour, of New York,
toYard the officers ofregiments from
that State. ! His ! disgust for the
Union cause, or his personal feeling
against the soldiers, or some similar
motive, made him the most tardy,
sunaccommodating and ili-natured
lGovernor of all the loyal States. In
the matter of making out commits.
sions for officers who had been pro
NOTED, his delay was so scandulous,
that many served for months and
months as Captains or field officers,
but for want of their commissions
drew pay only as Lieutenants. BY
securing the personal influence Of
some of the New York political asso-
ciales of, the Governor, greater
promptness resulted; but when mer-
it or the necessities of the service
were the only recommendations, 1t
was evident that the Union soldiers
could not be included among the
Governors "friends. "a

Ep MOST BITrERS of the pres.

stimulant and tonic, have ten

"a gentle laxative, an efficient anti
bilious agent and the best stamaehic
known to the world, and, when taken
in conjunction with R0Jack'S Blood

whole system and giving tone to the

They are highly recommended as
an invigorating tonic to mothers
while nursing, increasing the flow Of

store the prostration which always
follows long continued sickness, they
are unsurpassed. No household

invaluable medicines. They can be
