Death of General Joe Hooker.

The sad news comes that General
Joe Hooker died suddenly at Gar
den City, Long Island, yesterday
evening. He was personally one of
the most popular commanders dur
ing the civil war, and the news of his
death will spread grief among
thousands of his old soldiers who
gave him the name of "FightiDg
Joe.u
General Hooker was born in
Hadley, Massachusetts, in 1916.
He graduated at West Point in
1887, served in the Florida war and
the war with Mexico, and was sue
cessively brevetted as Captain,
Major and Lieutenant Colonel for
gallant and meritorious conduct in
the battles of Monterey, the Ma.
tional Bridge and Chapultepec.
He was on leave of absence from
1851 TO 1858, when he resigned his
com mission and became a farmer
in Sonoma county, California. He
served also in 1859 as superin-
tendent of military roads In Ore
gon. He re-entered the service
at the beginning of the civil
war, was appointed Brigadier-
General of Volunteers March II,
1881, and was employed in
the neighborhood of Washington
for q year, when he was placed in
command of division of the Ar
my of the Potomac. Within q few
weeks he was made Major-Gener-
al of Volunteers and took an active
part in General McClellan's PENN
sular campaign, especially at the
battles of Williamsburg, Fair
Oaks, Frazier's Farm, and NAL
vern Fill, aud in the subsequent
campaign, at Bristol Station, the
second battle of Bull Run, Chan
lilly, South Mountain and Antie-
tam, where he was wounded. On
September 20 he was made Briga-
der General of the regular army,
and at the battle of Fredericksburg
commanded a grand division under

III January, 1868, General Hook
er succeeded Burnside in command
of the Army of the Potomac, and
fought the battle of Chancellors-
Vile in the beginning of May. On
June 9th be resigned his command
on account of the meddlesome in
reference of the Washington au-
thorities, who began to hamper
and annoy him as they had previ-
ously done in General McClellan's
case.
Hooker was succeeded by Gener-
al Meade. In September follow
ing he was placed in command of
the Twelfth and Thirteenth Army
Corps, which We're concentrated
abont Chattanooga, and took a
leading part in the series of battles
fought there In November, com.
mandiDg in the action on Lockout
mountain, for which he was made
Brevet Major-General. Subsequent

this command in August, 1864. In
the following month he was placed
in command of the Northern De-
partment, and in 1865 in command
of the Department of the East, and
in 1866 of that of the Lakes. He
was mustered out of the volunteer

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Senator Zach
ariah Chandler, OF Michigan, was
found dead in his bed at the Grand
Pacific Hotel this morning. He
had been speaking in Wisconsin,
and last night addressed an i'm
mense audience at McCormlck,s
Hall in this city and spoke with
his usual esrnestness. After the
meeting, when he and Senator Lo-
gan and Jesse Spaulding were sit
ting engaged in conversation, SEN
ator Chandler complained of indi-
gestion. AS he had complained OF
some distressing feeling while Gu
route to the city with these gentle
men, Mr.. Spaulding suggested that
he remain over in the city until
Saturday night, but he said bust
ness affairs required his attention
at home, and the order was given
to have him called in the morning
at o'clock. His friends then babe
him good night and left. That is
the last time the Senator was seen
alive. This morning when the
office boy called him there was nc
response, and as upon a repetition
silence prevailed, the clerk effected
an entrance through the transon
and found that the Senator was
dead. The body was not quite cold
and the physician who was presenl
decided that death occurred aoou
three hours previous to the discov'

The Farmers vegetable Garden,

There is no patch of land on the farm that
yields so much comfort to the family, and
shows so much profit on the ledger, as the
garden, provided it is properly managed.
Few farmers apparently believe this; certain
ly the great majority do not give such atten-
ton to their gardens as will secure the best
results. They seem to regard gardening as
fancy work, suitable for women and children,
but too small business for men aud it must
be confessed that the old fashioned farmers
garden was pent up Utica that contracted
his powers. With hundred acres around
him, the farmers fashion was sand is still in
many places-to fence off lite patch five or
six rods square. with high picket fence SO
as to keep out the hens, plant some currant
bushes by this fence, and lay out the re-
mainder in small plats for vegetables, with
walks running between them, that occupied
good share of the ground, and required no
small share of attention. A fraction of the
garden was devoted to flowers, and here was
displayed much fancy work, the flower beds
being made in the form of triapgles, circles,
crescents, elipses, &C., as though they were
intended to teach the children geometry.
