10 ARMY INTELLIGENCE. VACANCIES ON THE RETIRED LIST FOR SUPER- ANNUATED HEADS OF BUREAUS AND OTHEL SUPERNUMERARIES—ROSTER OF OFFICERS EN- TITLED TO BE RETIRED ON THEIR OWN AP- PLICATION. Wasutyaron, Dec. 13, 1878. When the retired list of the army was expanded to 400 by @ provision in the last appropriation bill it was expected that the 100 vacancies thus created would be | promptly filled by the voluntary retirement of super- annuated officers and the compulsory retirement of | incapacitated ones, So far, however, the only effect of the new law lias been to retire de jure, on the rec- ommendation of retiring boards, thirty-three officers, most of whom, in consequence of wounds and sick- ness, have been retired de faci for many years. PHOSPECTIVE SUPERNUMERARIES, As the propose reorganization of the army will render supernumerary a large number of able bodied pflicers of rank, and as there are at present seventy- five vacancies on the retired list it becomes a matter of interest to know how mary of our nineteen gen- erals, sixty-five colonels, eighty-four lieutenant colonels and two hundred and thirty-nine majors on | the active list and presumably fit for active service, have, under existing laws, any claim to those vacancies. The law on the subject i When an officer lias served forty consecutive years as a officer, he shall, if he makes application ive service and ‘othe President, be retired from a tired” list. has been he may own applica. n, in the discretion of the President, he so retired and placed on the retired (ection 1.24% Revised Statutes ‘The two lists given below embrace the names of all officers credited with thirty years’ service and up- ward. The thirty-year list will probably be increased under the provision of the act of June 18, 1878, which willows officers to count any time they may have served as enlisted meu, either in the regular or vol- unteer army, in computing their service for retire- ment, but the number to be added to it cannot be definitely stated until the claims of all such officers have been verified by the records of the Adjutant General’s office. From these lists it will be seen that twenty-six officers, having served forty consecutive years, can claim retirement under the first part of section 1,243, and that ninety-two, having served thirty years, are eligible for retirement under the latter part of said section, SUPERANNUATED HEADS OF BUREAUS. The lisis also show that six of the ninc heads of ‘bureaus may be relieved of the cares of office without further legislation, if they #0 desire—nameiy, Adju- tant General Townsend, Inspector General Marcy, uartermaster General’ Meigs, Surgeon General nes, Paymaster General ‘Alvord and’ Chief of En- gincers Humphreys. REGIMENTAL VETERANS, All the colonels of artillery and fourteen of the other twenty field officers of that arm of the service are retirable on account of length of service, but only seven of the forty-nine ficld officers of cavalry and twenty of the seventy-one field officers of infantry are sufficiently veteranized to have any voice in their own retirement. It is noteworthy that out of 119 officers who have served more than thirty years seventy-two belong to the staff departments and only forty-seven to the line; in other words, while sevent two out of 562 staff officers have a right to seek retir ment, whether they are disabled or not, only forty- seven out of 1,595 regimental: officers possess that right, from which it may be inferred that staff duty is conducive to longevity. ‘THE FATHER OF THE ARMY. The senior officer on the active list, counting you of service, 1s Lieutenant Colonel Franklin E. Hunt, Deputy Paymaster General and Chiet Paymaster of the Department of the Missouri. He entered the Military Academy in 1824, was graduated in 182), served as u lieutenant of artillery seventeen years, ax @ captain nine years, as @ paymaster with the rank of major twenty-two years, and has held his present rank twenty months.

THE MUSCOVITE EMBASSY AT THE AMEER'S CAPI- TAL—SPEECH OF SHERE ALL [From the St. Petersburg Golos.] Onensuna, Noy, 24, 1878. The news which we have from Afghanistan is of an exciting character. The Ameer Shere Ali is stated by news arriving from €entral Asia to have summoned at durber of the leading tribal chiefs, the number of which execeded 250, For these a special tent was erected. On the day following their arrival, the Ameer, having received from his Minister of War the report that | iuost of the chiefs invited had assembled, proceeded to the durbar, which was held in the camp, with his Ministers, generais, the leading wWemas of Cabul and ! a number of officials, amounting altogether to 100 individuals. On his arrival the Ameer was received with marks of joy and respect by the chiefs. Shere Ali then informed them that Iskander Shah- in Shah (Emperor of All the Russias) had despatched to him at Cabul an embasssy to of friendship already ex- isting between Afghanistan and Russia, As Russia had always manifested hospitality to the Afghan merchants who not unfrequently visited the fairs at Orenburg and Troitsky, and had done so even when Afghanistan was a country little known to the Euro- peans, he (Shore Ali) had felt it his bounden duty to accord a similar welcome to the Russian visitors. This conduct of Shere Ali toward his Russian guests was marked with enthusiastic approval by the mem- bers of the durbar, After this speech delivered to the chiefs present, Shere Ali ordered the Muchauder, or keeper of the archives, at his side, to read to the council an aeconut of the magnitude, glory (clara) and power of Russia, and of her armies and subjects, in order that they might form an estimate of the empire whose representatives were at that moment at Cabul. The concluding speech of the Ameer consisted of the following words, uttered in a lond and firm voice:—‘Return to your brethren, sharpen your sabres and pikes, saddle your horses, in order that you may be ready to take the field when Isummon you to the fight to meet the enemies of our country.” strengthen the bonds BACK TO HIS CAPITAL. After these words the Ameer quitted the camp and returned to Cabul. The two other meetings of the durbar were convoked for the purpose of examining the war budget of Afghanistan, arranging the regi- ments and calculating the number of men that would be required in the event of hostilities with England, Arrangemnets were also made for col- lecting forage and stores for the army. At these two last sittings Shere Ali was not present, his place being occupied by his War Minister, With respect to the presence of the Russian Embassy at Cabul, the Ameer bas given to his (dorogai gostai) dear guests his best palace—Modoo! Hiesar—formerly the residence of his son, Yakoob Beg, and does his utmost to minister to their comfort, expending for this purpose a very large sum of money. This expenditnre is quite’ supernatural in the eyes ot the English, who know that the revenue of the Ameer is’ not of tabulons proportions. To amuse his guests the Ameer has instituted hunting matches, He has also opened freely for their inspec- tion ali the remarkable mosques in Cabul, and when the members of the Embassy visit them a crowd of Afghans accompany them along the streets, uttering acclamations of delight, and testifying their joy by throwing their caps into the air. Since the departure of General Stolietoff the mission has been conducted by General Rasganoff, who has already earned the golden opinion of the people of Cabul, FELONIOUS ASSAULT. James Garry, seventeen years of age, of No. 36 West Thirteenth street, and Frederick Shea, eighteen years of age, of No. 579 First avenue, are both mem- bers of a social club, which gave a ball on Thanks. giving night. Garry and Shea had been friends prior to that occasion, but since they quarrelied. Yester- day afternoon Garry came to visit his parents at their residence, No, 339 East Thirty-third street. Shea met him on the corner of Third avenue and Thirty-ninth street and took from his pocket # shoemaker’s knife and stabbed hiro in the left hand. Shea was arrested. CITY NEWS ITEMS. John Rancher, a brushmnaker, twenty-two years of age, living at No. 31 New Chambers street, was ar- rested last evening on the complaint of Mrs. Rickel, his landlady, who charges him with having commit- ted an asswult on her little daughter, nine years old, SUBURBAN NOTES. Henry Haines, a brakeman on the Long Island Rail- road, received injuries on Friday night thet are likely to result fatally, When the Sag Harbor express train was nearing Bridgehampton on that evening he leaned out from his place on the platform to look ahead ond was strnck by a telegraph pole. He has been unconscious ever @ince and lies at the point uf jeath. Coroner Simms, of Brooklyn, held an inquest yes- terday on the body of Jobn Drew, seventy-one years of age, of No. 54 South Portland ‘avenue, who was killed on Saturday last by a singular accident. The deceased was taking a barrel of flour into the cellar, when he slipped and fell down the stairway. The barrel of flour fell upon him. fracturing his skull ang cutting his face in w severe manner. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the tacts, Persons holding the securities of Long Island City are not a little exercised over a de must leave a consideral ‘he principal of the public “ane un- paid. tis $910,000, on which the in- terest due is The principal due amounts to $4,000, so that the whole sum to be raised on account of the public debt item is $67,500, The levy provides for the raising of but $43,200, so that there must re- sult a deficiency of $24,300, About a month ago # gentleman named Taylor, of No. 556 South Tenth street, Newark, met in New York a boy who gave his name as Herbert Urich and told a very affecting story. Mr. Taylor took the boy home and clothed, red aud houred him. On Saturday night he left Mr. Taylor's, saying that he would be back shortly. Yesterday morning it was found that he bad taken some property of Mr. Taylor's together with a considerable sum of money which had been placed in a burean. Nothing has yet been learned of the whereabouts of Dickson Garduer, Lizzie Moran's betrayer, boarding house keeper on Park place, in whose em- ploy Gardner was as a waiter, states that on Friday f she received a note from him stating that he had got into trouble and would be obliged to leave Newark. It is now considered doubtful whether ne oan be held, even if arrested, ut least «0 far as his be- trayal of the unfortunate girl is concerned. It is probable, however, that if apprehended he will be ‘on & charge of deserting his wife and family. REGIMENTAL TUG OF “WAR. The New York Athletic Club will have a representa- tive at Gilmore's Garden dnring the present week, between the hours of four o'clock and six o'clock P. M., for the purpose of aiding such teams from the Seventh regiment as may desire to practice for the regimental tug of war, to be given under the auspices of the club on the evenings of January Sand 4. No spectators will be admitted, so there need be no fe of annoying criticisms from outsiders, SHIPPING NEWS DATES OF DEPARTURE FROM » eW YORK YOR THE MONTHS y #3 Broadwa: 72 Br y Liverpool silnagow Hanbury Liverpool itasxow ‘omen Keon of Virginin.
