Major A. Il. Nickerson's exact whereabouts are
at last known to the War department. He is re-
siding In Thorold, Canada. Upon this informa-
ton being received, the Secretary Of War ordered
him to proceed at once to Washington and report
In person. An answer was received from him yes

Major Nickerson, after he disappeared, regularly
reported his address to the War department early
every month, until last month. few days before
the end OF September letter was received from
him at the War department. dated at Thorold.
Canada, september Goth, stating that he
had forwarded his address as Philadelphia,
but that he learned that 1t had not been received

vent being dropped as deserter. TWAS upon
the receipt OF this letter that Secretary Lincoln
ordered him to Washington Major Nickerson
defes the authorities, feeling sure that he cannot
be extradited. No further action has been taken
in the matter. but in all probability he will be
dropped from the army as a deserter, although
that course has not been decided upon as yet. He
has reported a false address to the department,

treatment Of her Was uniformly cruel and abusive:
that he was frequently drunk, wicked ana beat
her, &C. Mrs Ackerman in her cross bill sets
forth the marriage on November 9th, 1867, and

from the house, and she was obliged, on account
OF his unkindness, to remain away from the

cember 9th, 1863, she was not attended by physi-
cian and he was at home drunk, and when sh
asked for medicine he told her to 60 hell. SIZE
