General Orders No. 2
It 10 with heartfelt pain and sorrov that the
General Of the Army announces to the country
and to his fellow-soldlers the death Of Brevet
Major General Joseph A. Mower, Who died in
New Orleans on the 9th instant, Of congestion
General Mower began his military career NJ
private soldier in the company Of engineers that
served with marked distinction In the Mexican
war; was first commissioned a. Second Lieu
tenant in the 1st Infantry, june IS, 1855, and
was promoted to 1st Lieutenant March Is. I85,
At the breaking out of the war OF rebellion he
commanded Company H, LIST Infantry, and took
part in the siege and capture Of New Madrid,
and May 5, 1862, was commissioned ~ Colonel
nth Missouri Volunteers, and took part in the
COrinth campaign, and was Conspicuous At
COrinth, October 4, 1862, when he was wounded
severely, and was for time In the hands Of the
enemy.
He first fell under the immediate com uoai,A of
the present General of the Army in the vicks-
burg campaign, and very soon attracted his
notice by deeds Of personal bravery that would
require a volume to record. From that date to
the close Of the war he was engaged in every
campaign in the West at jackson, vicksburg,
was called personally to the aid Of the General
at Atlanta, and accompanied him, rising
through all the grades, until the end Of the war,
when he commanded the 10th Corps.
A better soldier or q braver man never lived
than Joseph A. Mower, and the General can
recall many instances when he displayed abiIi-
ties of the highest order, emitting him to the
full name and fame of q General. Since the
war he has exhibited his s0ldiery qualities by
standing at his post through pestilence and sick
ness, never asking personal favor, and always
sharing cheerfully the exposures Of his men.
The General, in thus speaking of one of whom
he was so strongly attached, feels certain that
this, and more too, Is due to one who never
wrote or spoke of himself, and seemed oblivious
of all things except to serve his country with his
whole heart and his whole soul.
By command Of General Sherman:
Z. ID. TOWNSEND, Adjutant General.

The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Gaseite says that now that the IateHigencer
Is dead beyond possibility of resurrection '.par-
ties have arranged for the issue of a purely
Democratic paper" here. Washington needs a
good many things, but we doubt if she is hank
ering very mush for "purely Democratic pa
per, or a pIr,ly political paper Of any kind.
However, if any body thinks so, and has the
money to experiment i'm that line, the thing can
tie tried on. 1t will help the printers and pa
peI-nakers al any rate.

The press Of the country quite generally CEN
sures the strike of the telegraphers as hasty and
ill-advised, and advises them to recall their
action and go to work before their places are
hlled- The Trades Unions of the country.
while in many instances giving support to the
telegraph strikers, do not accord to the strike
an entirely hearty endorsement; in fact the
Trades Unions as body find the burden from
strikes so heavy that it is proposed to change
the form Of organization to the extent of recog-
nIzing no local trade strike that has not been
first endorsed by National organization.
Still il is not to be denied that the striking
Geographic operators present a very sclid and
determined front The company is equally
obstinate and determined, but as the loss must
be heavy on both sides, we should suppose that
some fair. .clear-headed arbitrator could speedily
arrange a settlement of the difficulties.

Jewish Maiden in the dramatization from the
French play of Deborah entitled "Eeah.v The

rendition Of the part was most natural and un-

with power and effect truly grand. Mr..

The Board OF Aldermen last night decided
with great unanimity that a Commssonership
form Of government for this District will not do
at all, and that the present form Of municipal
government Is the correct and indispensable
thing. Therefore, they "most earnestly and
solemnly protest" to Congress "against any
movement having for its object the placing of
this District under q board Of commissioners" !"
&c, &c.
Ii is natural that the Aldermen should look
With disfaver upon any movement calculated to
rotate them out OF ONCE, but what say the peo-
Ple-the taxpayers? They can speak more
disinterestedly. The 'present mode of govern
ment' for this city has been pretty thoroughly
tried, and with results apparent to all. Now, in
consideration of the present deplorable financial
condition of the city, the heavy debt and rapidly
increasing rate of taxation, would it not be lust
as well to give the Taxpayers an opportunity to
express their views? There are doubtless objec-
tions to the commissionership form of govern
ment. as well as to the present form, but we
trust Congress viii not accept the unanimous
protest of the Aldermen as by any means the
unanimous voice Of the taxpayers.

What Is the rational mode Of procedure In cases of
general debility and nervous prostrations Does not
reason tell that udicious stimulation is required
To resort to violent purgaton in such a case is as
absurd as Ii would be to bleed starY ing man. Yet
1t Is done every day. Yes this stupid and unphilos
optical practice Is continued In the teeth of the great
fact that physical weakness with all the nervous dis
turbances that accompany it, is moro certainly and
rapidly relieved by Hosetters Stomach Bitters than
by any other medicine at present known 1t is true
that general debility is often attended with torpdty
or rregularity Of the bowels and that this symptom
must not be overlooked. But while the dis
charge Of the waste matter Of the system is expe
dited or regulated, its vtsor must be recruited
The Bitters do both. They combine aperient and an
toillous properties, with extraordinary tonic pow
er. Even while removing obstructions from the
bowels, they tone and invigorate those organs
Through the stomach, upon which the great vegeta-
bic specific acts directly, 1t gives healthy and per-
manent impetus to every enfeebled function Dges
tion is facilitated the falterng circulation regula
ted, the blood reinforced with new accession of the
alimentary principle the nerves braced and all the
dormant powers Of the system reused into healthy
action; not spasmodcally, would be the case IL
mere stimuant were administered, but for contin.
uance. 1t is in this way that such extraordinary
changes are wrought in the condition of the feeble
emaciated and nervous invalids by the use of this
wonderful corrective, alternative and tonic. Let
common sense decide between such preparation and
aprostrating cathartic supplemented by poisonous
astringent like strychnine or quinia. ia 6-eo3t&W
