the facility OF long experience everything of in

touching was the moment when In one of the
large steamship offices on Bowling Green she
described to him the model of one Of the com

Herreshon was to sail on this steamer, and he
was anxious to learn the location of her state

companion explained to him with the exact

A INDUSTRIOUS INJUSTICE.
Proof That Above Report and Reconrnen-
dations Were Unjast and Mallclou.

Proof That Above Report ami Re comm III
datiOns Were Unjast and MaIlclous
1t is not possible to fifty characterize the
injustice done to General-then Colonel
Alger In the report and recommendations
printed above. They had no result. for
Colonel Alger, being in entire and absolute
ignorance of them, presented his resignation
on the 10th of September, 1854, for reasons
which were amply stated in the document it
SELF and as it was accepted he was honorably
discharged. The entire history of Aleer's
resignation will be presented later on, but it
must be said here that General Alger did not
know until twenty four years later that such
adverse recommendations were in existence
and that the affidaytt of DR.. Samuel r.
Wooster, printed near the beginning of this
record, fully answers them and shows Gen
eral Ayers record to have been in fact, alb
solutely straight and his conduct entirely
correct. General Clusters statement that
Alger should be censured because he had
been misinformed as to the terms of rail-
road time table Is at least frivolous and
seems not less than ridiculous in view of the
fact that the command was not in active ser
vice.
The documents printed above comprise the
only applications to be relieved ever made by
Colonel Alger and furnish all the basis there
was for General Clusters report that he had
made application for leave three times ="
They show the falsity of that statement, and
they show that Colonel Alger was never abb
sent from his command for moment with
out good cause and proper authority.
General Clusters report says: II first
heard of him again as stopping at the Eutaw
House in Baltimore, Md" General Alger re-
members having gone to the Eutaw House,
as trains were then running very irregularly,
but here is certificate from the officer of
Hospital Medical Department, dated Annap-
oils, Sept. 5, 1864, which clears up the whole
matter and shows conclusively the date on
which Alger left the Annapolis hospital The
document, which General Alger has forum
atcly preserved, and the original of which is
