Of which the General Agency l. at Me- 76
Canal street. New Orleans, would appear
from the description given of it in our ad-
vcrtising columns, to combine all the quail
ties needed in a complete, perfect and relia-
pie Sewing Machine. Certainly the varie-
ty and amount of work it promises to ac-
complish should satisfy the most exacting
purchaser. The Machine we learn is of
philadelphia make. The New Orleans

A Good schooI for Girls.

Editor Clarion II wish to call the atten-
tion of your readers TO a good school for the
education of girls. 1t is in Vicksburg. and
under the control of Miss Marv z. Compton,
assisted by competent teachers. Young
ladies can there have the opportunity of a
sound education. Miss Compton has taught
for me, and had charge of young ladies in
nv school; and know her To possess rare
combination of qualities for governing,
training and instructing pupils. Their
manners and morals, as well as their minds,
will be delicateIy cared for. A young lady
educated under her tuition will be elegant
and refined. as well as trained in mind.
Hers must be school OF the highest merit.

From the Washington County Times.
But the misery with Gen. Alcorn is, that
whereas he Is miserably failing in persuading
the white majOrities of his reliability, his
friends in the river counties are seriously
affecting his chances by an utter abandon of
tact. or even sound sense in their manage
ment of the campaign. And in case OF de-
feat, as defeated he surely will be, what a
Waterloo will be involved therein. He has
accepted every modification TO which hu
manIty can be subjected. AS proud man
as he is, we wonder that he has not rebelled /;
and if, after all the infiictiOns to which he
has been subjected. he still retains his self
esteem, he is a most remarkable man.

THE DYER INvEsrIGArIoN- DYER court
Of Inquiry yesterday adjourned until the 25tn
inst, to give the lawyers engaged in the case
on the part Of the accusers an opportunity TO
The evidence has, as general thing, been dry
and uninteresting, but few days ago,
the following was stated: Col. J. T. Balch,
who was General George ID. Ramsey's
principal assistant, while the latter was al the
head OF the ordnance bureau, was placed upon
the stand, and IL was ascertained from his testi-
mony that pending Ramsey's assignment to
duty as chief Of the ordnance bureau, after
General Ripley's resign alton, a discussion
sprung mp between President Lincoln and Mr.
stanton. the Secretary of War, relative to the
Appointment Of his (Ripleys) successor. Gen.
Ramsey was the senior officer. and in accord
ance with the established rule IN the army, he
was finally assigned 70 the position, but Balch
VINO was then captain in the army, was re-
tanned IN the office as principal assistant, and
was informed by the Secretary of War that he
would be TO all intens and purposes the head
OF the ordnance bureau, for the administration
OF which be would be beld responsible All
the business of the Office was transacted
through him, and whenever a consultation
was necessary II was Baleh and not Ramsey
VINO was called TO the presence of President
Lincoln CT Secretary Stanton. 1t was also tes-
tned to by Balch that upon one occasion. W hen
General Ramsey had been nominalIy chief for
several months, be disseDted from hIm (Balch)
IN relation to an important endorsement
Wnereupon Balch handed over his resignation.
when Secretary Stanton interposed and re-
CURED General Ramsey to reconcile his differ
ences with Captain Baich within four days or
resign. A reconciliation was Immediately ef-
iected. This state of things continued for a
long time, until General Ramsey was retired
me rule OF seniority was set aside, and General
Dyer was appointed chief OF ordnance, partly
on the recommendation of Captain Balch- A
littIe opposition had meantime been excited
amone the old officers of the corps against
Balch, and be soon after resigned.
