Col, Robt, N, Scott, Thirdar- tillery, war racord, seven years, elght montha; Major Richard Loder, artillerg school, six years; Capt. A, B. Blunt, military prison, eight years, three months; Capt. I, V, Greens, military academy, thirteen years, two months; Capt. Richard H. Pratt, tenth cavalry, Indian echool, ten years, four mouths, Tha same paper adds: The conclusions of the secretary of war as to army administration are further indicated by his reply to friends of an officer who wrote asking that his aesizn- ment to a station might be changed. This request the sccretary declined to grant, and in answer to one of the letters he had ro. ceived, announced his determination to en- force the order, saying, u will pardon me if I say o singlé gvord, I find it VERY COMMON IN THE ARMY when an officer is relieved for proper reasons, indeed for necossary reasons, for him acd his friendsto remonstrate agif he had a peculiar 1ight to perform a particular duty, and his friends ara very apt to think that because he does not like removal, that some personal in. jury is cast upon hia character or his service Quite the contrary.

While under the law they are maintained as a part of the army of the United States, the secratary of war can know no inequality and it is his duty to assign officers to tnem upon the same principles which fuvexn assignments of all officers. The good of the se:vice, the provision of the law, the discipiine of the’army, and the uohesita- ting obedience to orders, demand that officers shculd acquiesco when assigned to such a regiment, g TREACHEROUS 10l FIELDS, TWENTY-TWO SEAMEN MEET DEATH IN ALAS- KAN WATEES, ‘WasHINGTON, Aug, 14, — The secretary of the treasury has received a report from Capt, Healy, command ing the revenue steamer Corwin, in regard to its cruise in Alaskan waters, The report is dated Pozt Clarence, A.

OR1cAGO, August 14-—When the wheat market opened this morniog, there was & slight bullish feeling, which led a few to buy, although Liverpool was easier and 1d per contal lower, But after vain attempt to stem the downward course of prices, the whole market gave way and went down with a crash, September opened at 87fc, sold down t) 87ic, rallied to £64c and then broke to S6c before its propresy could be checked. An immense quantity of long whaoat, held by outside parties whose marging were exhausted, camo on the market and the only buyers were ehorts, who covered deals at a big profit, but gave no sustaning power to the market by €0 doing. i Never wer a lot of bulls more mistaken than those parties who hava beon trying to sustain pricea for the last movth, The bears. have steadily pointed to ths 16,000,000 bushels 10 store here, and said that prices could never advance until some of that mass of stuff was sold and moved away, and events have shown that they reasoned correctly.

September opened ic higher, but gradualiy felt off to 45§c, and then rallied & little, while Octber remained quite steady, around 44lc.
