The Commanding Oncer of the Department Of Virginia baa issued an order requiring all the publishers of newspapers in tbe State to wad a copy of every issue to bis headquarters, by mail, on tbe day of publication. Fmi are attracted daily to Xaxkriter's, 456 7th street, to see a picture on shibition there, painted by U. Schnssele, entitled "Woman's It a Field Hospital, with ladies as volunteer nurses to the sick and wounded soldiers. A noblelooking woman occupies tbe foreground by the coucb of a wounded soldier, for whom sbe has just written a letter to his toyed ones at home, and to whom 'be is now giving religious consolation. The faithful dog of tbe wounded soldier, with bead laid upon the blanket and eyes fixed lovingly and anxiously on his mas.

ter's face, is an effective feature of tbe picture. At the door of tbe tent, to the right, stands a farmer's daughter, who has brought ber contribution ef snowy bread. On the left, a matronly looking woman is supplying a wouaded cavalryman with a bowl of coffee as dm wen already noticed, the events of the war, though abounding in effective subjects for the pencil, have thus far brought ont few really meritorious pictures. Of this few, we think the picture under notice will be counted as one. It can be seen at Marketer's for some ThjWbklt Star is now on our counter for sale, and in wrappers, ready for the mails, containing its great variety of rending matter.

The telegram (from New Haven) stated that "Hoolittle waa hissed and silenced for disparaging you in a speech here to-night." In this assertion there were three mistakes. He did not disparage Mr. Sumner, he was not hissed, and he was not silenced. Mr. Doolittle proceeded to quote from the Impartial report in the Boston Journal to show what really transpired at the New Haven meeting in that connection, as follows: In his opinion It waa not worth while to delay reconstruction to carry through snch an among men who are denominated radical, like Mr.
