Orders to this effect were issued to day by Secretary Long, as the result of a cablegram from Rear Ad miral Sampson, announcing that Captain Clark had been reported as unfit to remain in command of bis ship. The cause of the officer's dis ability is not known at the depart ment. It was determined to transfer Captain A. S. Barker, commanding the Newark, to the battleship as Captain Clark’s successor. Captain Barker relinquished the command of the Oregon in January last for a cruiss of two years, being succeed- ed by Captain A H. McCormick Captain Clark at that time was in command of the Monterey. Secre- tary Long, appreciating Captain Olark’s well known ability, directed him to assume cemmand of the Ore gon.

ALABAMA TRAGEDY. Insane Husband, After Killing His Wife, Shoots and Drowns Himself. Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 7.—Jobn Wesley Lewis, a Russell county farmer residing near Pittsboro, was insanely jealous of his wife Re- turning home yesterday afternoon he found a young men who resided in the neighborhood sitting on the front doorstep talking toher. Mrs. Lewis stood just inside the door with her infant in her arms. Without uttering 2 word, Lewis, who carried a double-barreled shot- gun in his hands fired a charge into the woman’s body and she fell to the floor a corpse. The baby, who was unhurt, crawled away. Theen raged husband then fired into the body again and afterwards mutilated it by crushing the dead woman's head into a jelly.

There are bat two regiments in Lee's corps which ere not brigaded One is commanded by William J. Bryan, the other by J.R. Campbell The sixth Missouri probably will be brigaded with them. Bryan's silver regiment is probably the firat mustered in, and on that account will rank above the other two. In that event Colonel Bryan will be in line for promotion to Brigadier General. The removal of the sixth regiment so speedily ig considered a feather in the cap of Major J. J Dickinson, who has been in Washington several days endeavoring to impress the war department with the edvisability of sending the troeps from their home state. MAJOR DICKINSOWS WORK. With reference to the marching orders and Major Dickinson’s efforts at Washington, a special dispatch from the National Capital to the Re- public follows: “Major Dickinson left for St. Louis at 3:40 this afternoon, well pleased with the final success of his several visits to the war depart- ment. Yesterday he prepared a written statement, giving reasons why the sixth should be moved. These were considered carefully by the Adjutant General to-day, with the result stated. Colonel Johnson, assistant tothe Adjutant General, teld Major Dick- inson that the sixth should be con gratulated upon the action taken, as Jacksonville is the best of all camps at this season. He added that if more troops are to go to the Phil- ippines, the regiment will stand as| good a chanceto be taken trom Jacksonville as from St. Louis, as| they will be brigaded at once and| prepared for active service.
