| WHOLLY RETIRED.
Washington dispatch announces that First
Lieutenant D. Q. Rousseau, Fifth United States
infantry, by direction of the President, has
been wholly retired from. the army, his inca
pacity not being incident to the service. This
intelligence will be the source of
great regret to Lieutenant Rouaseau's
friends, who number legion in this
department and wherever he has served
Lieut.. Rousseau was ordered before the retir-
| ing board at Fort Leavenworth several months
| ago, and has ben '''waiting orders at his
home. Louisville, Ky. The Presidents action,
besides being matter of extreme regret, will
be great surprise to Lieut.. Rousseau s friends.
His services have been creditable and meritori-
GUS, both in the Mexican war and the war of
the rebellion, and he has been equal to every
| emergency while on frontier service The
hope is generally expressed that the news may
not be correct, or at any rate that influence
may be brought to bear to have the order re-
voked.
