DR.. Forwocd in a report to the surgeon
general yesterday, which is published in the
papers this morning, states that DIR. Win

to-day by order OF Gen. Wheeler" That is
his only reference to one of the most shame

Winters has been drunk for more than a
week on whisky which was furnished by the
Red Cross Society for the soldiers and has
behaved himself in most disgraceful man

No attention was paid to him by DR.. For

General Wheeler, who relieved Winters
from duty instantly. Professional pride and
the esprit de corps of the medical officers
had thus far protected him.

II have been tempted to do so several times
for he is a miserable malicious. brutal
wretch, and has been getting drunk upon the

DR.. Winters is what they call a political
surgeon and now that the matter is known
to Gen. Alger, he will undoubtedly be or
dered before a cOurt-martial.

fact. The gasfitter and the picture-frame
maker. as wen as the furniture man. the
dealer in CRATES. the candlestick maker as
well, all make use of it. Nearly all brass
work, except that on shipboard, is lac
quered TO prevent corrosion and avoid the
labor of frequently polishing. The lacquer
is simply gun shelac dissolved in alcohol.
This makes thin varnish, which is applied
with a small paint brush. Ten cents worth
