In tho Into war, General Stoneman will oc found at this hotel princi
was a disLint'uished bnd cllicient offi. pally. '- At tho Southern and Now
cer in tho Federal Army, lie was
chiefly engaged in tho army of Vir
ginia, conducting numerous raids,
some of which wrought serious inju
ry to tho Confederate ruuso. In
lxiit, ho commanded an expedition
undertaken with a view to the release
of tho AnuVrsoiivillo, prisoners, in
whieh attempt he- wtts captured in
Middle Georgia, and kept a prisoner
for several months.
Since the surrender, ho has been in
command, fiint of the Department of
Tennessee and Cumberland, and,
since December ISoVi, has had charge
of the District of lK-tcr.sburir. In
this position, bo has won tho esteem
of tho people over whom ho was call

course in Virginia may bo, wo feci
satisfied that our citizens will bo free

venomously both on tho President

brutal negro mob in Washington, uud
stimulating thorn to outrage on his

Forney did not venture to Lancatlor.
There wero worm hearts beating in
