Sheridan says that there was no foundation
whatever for the story, and Secretary
Endicott, who is still absent from washing-

u Is believed that this report originated
from the fact that the second and Third

change stations. The Second regiment has
been located at Washington and Baltimore for
The past twelve years, andits numerous friends
here have been making great exertions to have
