Pennsylvania Agramoutc, a. D. t., that be

Joseph U. Stockton, Y. II. e. A., and Gen A.
T.. Ducat, commanding Division, the latter
claiming that the rally inperativcly demanded
the issue OF general orders. Gen. Joseph u.
Stockton, T. N. C. 4, called attention to the

Gen. Joseph Q. Stockton, a. D. C. trelieved},

story OF the business done at headquarters, rs
the only data are general orders kindly fur
.nished BY Gen. Joseph Kirkland, A. D. c., who.
unfortunately, utd not keep them consecutiyely.
Other important memoranda were DESTROYED,
lest they fail into the hands Of the epemF an
arcparabIe loss to the history Of one OF the
most magnificent campaigns Of the age It will
be noticed however, with pleasure 6y our citi-
zens, that the police are nowhere mentioned
There are some who might think that some
gratitude is due to the few patroImen who
protected headquarters, but it would not be
military, and, besides, it.Would only incumbcr
general orders.
. This bit Of riot re.niniscence will teach Chica-
70 TO whom it is indebted for the putting
lown Of the insurrcction. The prompt and firm
action of the various Generals is something that
will dwell long in the grateful hearts OF our !
{people- The sun seldom shines upon,
