SURGEON GENERAL HAMMOND. The President has ordered a conrt-martial to be assembled for the trial of Surgeon Gen- eral Hammond, under charges of fraud and mal-practices, bronght by the commission that not long since examined into the affairs of his office. As jt is publicly known that a number of persons claiming to represent the science, and philanthropy of the country have been exert- ing themeel ves here, as a committee, to procure & prejudgment of the authorities against the integrity of the action of the commission insti- tuting the charges, as well as against the char- acter of its individual members, we may not Improperly add that Professors Agassiz and. Pearce, whose names are found among the alleged signers of the paper or address, have already taken occasion to repudiate it, upon | the ground that they never designed that their names should be used in any such manner or for any such purpose as those to which the manager or managets of thé effort to prevent due investigation of the Surgeon General’s | official conduct, have undertaken to use them, pee ee Se eee LATEST FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC, Since our receipt this forenoon of the Asso- ciated Press telegram of this date from Phila- delphia, announcing the appearance of Fitz- hugh Lee and Imboden with a rebel force in three columne, threatening Peteraburg and Cumberland, a despatch has reached headquar- ters here, direct from Gen.

THE ATROCIOUS MURDER OF MRS. ELIZABETH DOWELL. The Sons Under Suspicion of Being the Marderer: i SR They Give Themselves Up Investigation. es Se aa They are Fully Exonerated istrate. See The Cuse Involved in yet Deeper Mystery. RODS SSG Ty 3 On New Year's eve, Mrs. Etizaveth Dowell, a widow lady, residing on Sixth stree!, be- (tweerG-ad A streets gonth; (Lstadd,) was, found in mangled, bleeding..and senseless condition, behind the counter of the little shop she kept on @ie fizat Adbr.of her residence. She lingered for two days in this condition, and died witheut giving amy clue to the guilty party, further than io indicate that he wasa whileman. ; . When found, she was lying or rather ina citing posture behind the counter, and her injeries and the condition “of the furniture and goods indicative that adesperate: struggle had taken place between herself and the -- eailant. e shop was a room perhaps twelve feetsquare, with an enwance from Sixth street, and a door in the rear, leading into the apartment she used asa sitting and eating room. pecrapaeg wea gre ep} at >, Di jt at his. brot! % tat Dowell was b ja, the house for a good portiomof tbe day ByeBIDe. wi | ey It would appear that themurder was com> gpived. beuween vend 8 o'clock: that eveni eigen paw hoo or ore on enter, ; close@gl and loc! 18 BI loor al it -- aes re EY ee peg ffis probable that this was “while tiie 6ld lady (some 65 years of r, ly, in. ck room. | A earl. ® peizhbor, wer eas Wall's BbOp between 7 ant 5 o'clock, to buy mustard, and found the wia- and Ask au by the Mag- Jin acdmatose dow shutterclosed and the door locked, but a = ae shining over transoin of the door. She t but recei no answer went on to a neigh| shop to make her purchase, and on returning shortly after, past Mrs. Dowell's, noticed that the light was out in the store, and the house wag dark. Another person, in passing, Saw 4 girl (prob. ably this same colored girl) go to the door and knock, and notiéed that on the instant the light in the store was put ont. On the day following, Detectives McDevitt and Ciarvoe, In making an examination of the premises, found blood on the street door inside, and the knob quite sticky with blood. This fact would seem to indicate that the murderer made his exit by the street door, bat cannot al- together be relied on, as it is possible that some of the visitors who handled the bleeding body might in passing out have left these traces of blood ou the door, ‘The case was involved in further mystery by the fact that no money was missing, though there was some ten dollars in paper in her pockets, some change in the drawer, and in the neighborhood of $1,200 in her chamber. It seemed difficult to reconcile this fact with the supposition that the deed was one for the pur- cee of igh ; yet it was even more difficult § suppoee it the work of a personal enemy, for the uriversal testimonyofall who knew her was that she was the most blameless and inoffen« sive of beings. For many years she had been a communicant of Rey. Mr. Holmead’s Church (Episeopal,) and is spoken of by pastor and cougregation as & woman quite unlikely to earn the ill will of a human being. Tn the same neighborhood, and little more than a square from the scene of this tragedy, another f ightful affair occurred, very nearly at the same time. Miss Maty Hook, an em- ployee at the clothing stora of Wall & Stevens, ennsylvania ayenue, returning to her home, left the street ears at south F street, and pass- ing along F street eastwardly, saw a person ahead, who presently stooped as if to tie ashoe, at which time she passed bim,and went on until opposite St. Dominick's church, when shepaused in passing the parsonage building toglance into the supper-room where tnat meal was in pro- gress. She remembers hearing the person bh3- hind her approach, bat recollects nothing more untilshe came to cénsciousness atter having been struek down by a fearful blow on the head. The ruffian who assailed her searched her pockets for money, and afterwards blood was found on a book in her pocket. From thiz it bas been supposed that her assailant was fresh from the murder of Mrs. Dowell, leaving the marks cf his blood-stained hands oa the arti- cles in Miss Hook's pocket. As, however, the blood found on this book migh! haye come from the wound upon Miss Hovk’s head, this theory, too, is not altogether acafeone. It must be remembered, too, that her assailant was movigaiong F street, east- wardly—a direction not compatible with the assumption that he was coming from the di- rection of Mrs. Dowell’s. Miss Hook, howev- er, is not certain whether the stooping party was her assailant, and it is possible that some one sprung from behind a tree-box to make the attack, She describes the stooping person as a stont- ish man perhaps five feet six inches in height, dressed in a black slouch hataud long sack coat, Apparently a white man. These cases anda number of other murderous assaults in that ward created uaturaily some- thing like a panic amongst the people. The perficial nature of the investigation at the Joroner’s inquest upon the murdered Mrs. Dowell did not tend to allay the excitement. Asa natural consequence, rumor has taken up the case, and filles the air with rapo ts .impheating various parties as the guilty ones. Among the parties so named were the twosons of the deceased, and some currency was given to this rumor from the fact that no money was tuken away from the premises; but this fact can readily be accounted for on the supposition that the murderer was interrupted at his work by the rap at the door, and putting out the light, he decamped in fright without pansing toiook for the fruits of his murderous venture. Asetated by us yesterday, these young $1 gave themselves up to detective officer McDe- vitt for an investigation, which came off yes- terday before Justice OCiayton at the Second Ward station. J. 1. Bradiey, jr., appeared for the young Dowells. THE INVESTIGATION. James H. Scarf’, 8worn.—W itness works at the Arceral and boards at Mrs. Luckett s, near Mrs. Dowell’s shop.
