A dispatch from New Haven, Conn.,,
announces the death at that place on
the 14th instant. of Col. Albemarle Cady,
u. S. army, retired. Col. Cady was one
of the oldest officers on the rolls of the
army. Born in New Hampshire, he was
appointed from that state to the United
States Military academy in July, 1873,
and, on graduating in 1929 was assigned
to the Sixth infantry as second lleuten-
ant. The years 1886, 1888, 1858 and 1861
each recorded successfully a step in his
promotion until, in October, 1868, he
attained the grade of colonel IN the
Eighth infantry. He served with con-
SpicuouS gallantry in the Mexican war,
and was brevetted major Sept. s.. 1o47,
for gallant and meritoriOus conduct in
the battle of MOlno del Ray. In March.
1865 he was brevetted brigadier general
in the regular army for long and faith
full service in the army. In May, 1864,
he was retired for disability incurred in
line of duty; and at the time of his
death he was in the eighty-frst year OF
his age. His funeral was attended by a
large eoneOurse of sorrowlng friends,
among whom were many representa-
tives of the army and navy.
Post Chaplain John W. Jackson,
United States army, has been placed
upon the retired list, to date March 90,
1855. Chaplain Jackson is a PennSyl
vanian, from which state he was ap-
pointed to the army, March 3, 1877. He
is retired by operation of law. The
president has not yet designated any
one of the 327 candidates to succeed
Chaplain Jackson, and as the pressure
being brought to bear upon the eXeeu-
tive by the friends of the respective can
didates is in many cases extreme, and
scarcely justified by the $1,000 salary
which goes with the appointment, it is
thought that the president will require
some little time for deliberation in the
matter, and that the vacancy will not be
filled before April 1.
