Bill Introduced to Make Lieut..

Much surprise has been felt that no effort
has been made in congress this winter to do
anything on behalf of Lieut. Greeley, whose
health is so seriously affected that he
cannot resume active duty either
in tie signal service or in
tie army. His friends have now decided to
make an attempt TO pull through a bill
authorizing his appointment as an additional
assistant adjutant-general, which has been
introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Harrison.
This course was thought preferable to placing
him on the retired list with a higher rank
than that which he now holds Greedy does
