FROM POINT LOOKOUT
[Correspondence of the Baltimore American. I
Point' LOOKOUT, Mo., April 10.-Since my last
there has been considerable change going on in this
department, Brigadier-General Ma-s,on be ng re
lieved of the command of the District, an 1 Brig -
General Hinks assuming comma ,, d. the new
General is in apPearance a fine looking man, and
would, by most persons, b • called handsome He
is a well-tried officer, having participated in two
important battles—namely, Antietam and Chancel
lorsville—in the former of which he received a
severe wound in the abdomen, and in the latter a
'wound in the arra. He was at the former bat•le
Colonel of the 19th Massachusetts Volunteers, who
conducted themselies with, howl' in that engage
, During the past year the General has had cora
=and of, the troops at Concord and Portsmouth,
N.H. In the short time he ties been in command
at the Point he has already evinced an effort to
wards improvement in the management of, atfaira
here. 'We learn that at the present time the Gene
'rat. Will Make no change in. the Staff officers, they
being the 'same officers on the -.calf of General
- "Marston, consisting of the following officers: J.
W. Lawrence, Assistant Aujutant-General ; Capt.
3. N. Patterson, Provost Marshal;_ ()apt. E. T.
'Sargent, Chief of Ordinance; Capt. Lucas, Coro
=Wary ;__Surgeon A. Hayer, Medical Director;
'a t. S. N. Goodwin, Assistant Quartermaster,
be having taken the place of C pt. Godfrey, who
has been ordered to report to Gen.. Hooker. We
'understand that Gen. Marston on leaving here, did
so at his own request, with the Ries of getting a
coMmand that will enable him to participate in
the coming campaign, which ~ o doubt will b 3 an
important one. It is understood tnat the rebel
galvanized regiment will at once be armed alai
placed on. duty at this place, the men being drilled
daily.
The Hammond General Hospital at this point is
almost emptied of sick, and is being cleaned and
renovated ready to fill with sick and womded—a
large number of whom are the former—expected
soon from the front, it being understood that as
awn as the hospitals at Washington are filled they
'will at 'once be forwarded to these co rimodious and
Well arranged hospitals The military telegraph
which I mentioned in my last correspondence, is
already completed, it being run here almost before
people were aware of its being constructed, the
- whole length of the telegraph being over one hun
dred miles.
A large number of refugees arrived on Friday
morning from the South; they came across the
Potomac a few miles above here. They were six
days out from Richmond, and were provided with
passes by General Winder. They Came direct
from Richmond by the fords at the Chickatiominy
and filattapony, and represent the times at the
South in a most deplorable condition. Several of
the refugees were women, having with them
their children. No man can get a pass to coma
North from General Winder, but he gives passes
to all women that ask for them. They report that
every available man is now at, once placed in the
ranks. Flour was selling •at Richmond on last
Saturday at $3OO a' barrel. Several of the ladies
come from Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia.
Flour was', at Savannah, $350 a barrel—at Atlan
ta, 5300.
THREE MEN SENTENCED TO BE HANGED
AND THE SENTENCE COMMUTED.
For some past a Military . Commission has been
in session engaged in the trial of three men, John
W. Scott, Simon J. Kamp and Pierre 0. Dungan,
all •upon serious charges, viz: That John W.
Scott, a citizen of Baltimore, is now a Clerk in the
]Medical Department, Richmond, and has Wren
the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States.
Be left his native State in May, 18.61, took service
in the Confederate Army and the of allegiance to
the Confederate States, was arrested within the
patrol lines of the Army of the , Potomac with
letters to parties in Baltimore and else where
from within the enemy's lines. "Simon J; Kemp,
a citizen of Baltimore, clerk for Selden & Miller,
3YEerchants, Richmond, took the oath of allegiance
to the Confederate States." Witnin the past two
years he removed to Richmond, Virginia, was
taken prisoner on the Neck, Northumberland
conrty, "Virginia, on the north side of the Rappa
hannock river, in a section of country not occu
pied hy the enemy, but patrolled by Federal
forces, with letters upon his person brought frog
within the enemy's lines, and directed to parties
'Within the Federal lines; also a writ
ten contract in his possession in which he
is a party named, and to which his signature is
attachei, for the purchase of goods in Maryland,
to be disposed of in Richmond. • 'Pierre 0. Dugan,
a citizen of Baltimore, now a clerk in the Medi
cal Department, Richmond, and has taken the
oath of allegiance to the Confederate States."
When arrested he had upon his person a letter
addressed to Mr. Gray. Attorney at Law, Cal
peper Court House, signed by Lewis N. Webb,
Major and Assistant Quartermaster, First Army
Corps, dated Richmond, February 2.3 d, iO4, which
contains, among others, these New its: "My friend,
-111 r. Dugan, with three friends, is going to
Baltimore on Government business;" and, also,
pit is unnecessary for me to state that I. thoroughly
endorse him." The following was the sentence of
the Commission: "And the Commission does
therefore sentence John W. Scott, - Simon J. Kemp
and Pierre C. Dugan to be hanged with a rope by
the neck at such time and place as may be ap
pointed by the President of the United States."
President Lincoln, in reviewing these sentences,
directed that each be committed "to imprison.
went duringthe war." The prisoners are now in
Port Delaware. —Baltimore American.
PERSONAL
Surgeon Frank B. Mester, U. S. V., died in
Reading, Pa., on Saturday last, in the 3Gth year
of his age. Dr. Hiester was a brother of the Hon.
Wm. M. Mester; was at one time Deputy Flour
Inspector at this port under his father-in-law,
George BL - Lauman, and entered the United States
service in December, 1861, since which date, until
compelled to succumb to disease, he actively and
ably fulfilled his duties as Surgeon.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
Herald, under date of 9th inst., writes : The com
manding officer at Yorktown, Brigadier-General
J. J. Wistar, while on his way from Yorktown
yesterday to visit Major-General Butler, was
taken suddenly ill with cramps and fever, and
suffered the most horrible pain. On arriving at
the wharf Dr. Charles McCormick, Medical Di
rector of the Department, attended the General,
and prescribed such medicines as relieved him .
greatip. Being unable to move he returned again
to Yorktown, and accounts received from there
to-day state that General Wistar is considerably
better.
The papers record the death of Major John
Symington, at the residence of his brother, in
Barford county, Md., at the age 'of sixty old
years. Maj. Symington was born in Maryland,
and at an early age entered the West Point Mil
itary Academy, where he graduated with distin
guished honor. In March, 16412, he entered the
regular army with the commission of Third Lieu
tenant, and was attatched to one of the artillery
regiments. For several years he had charge of the
Allegheny Arsenal, Pittsburgh, Pa.
It is understood that the Court of Inquiry Into
Gen. Crittenden's conduct at the battle of Chicka
mauga has fully exonerated him from all imp rtia
-ton in that affair. He will soon be assigned to an
important command.
' The Department of Monongahela has been
merged into that of the Susquehanna and Gen.
Brooks, who commanded the former, has been
assigned to duty under Gen. Butler.
The Chronicle gives the following sketch of the
late John C. Rives: John C. Rives, Esq., the
proprietor of the Glebe newspaper and publisher of
the debates in Congress, died at his residence, near
Bladensburg, in Prince George's county, on Sun
, day morning, as we learn, of rheumatic gout. He
was a native of Kentucky, and was about sixty
nineteen of age. Mr. Rives seemed to be for
some time mindful of his approaching dissolution,
and had accOrdingly placed his business in the
hands of his son, and made preparations for his
burial. Nevertheless he had regularly attended
to business, and mixed in the social circle of
friends, indulging in , his, usual anecdote and
humor. He had been a resident of tnis city most
of the time for forty years; first as clerk in the fourth
auditor>s office of the Treasury Department, after
ward as clerk for a short tame in the office of
Duff Green's United States Telegraph, and, finally,
by forming a connection with Mr. Blair, and
founding the Globe, which, for three Administra
tions, was so powerful a lever upon the public
opinion of this country. After Mr. Ritchie pur
chased the Globe, and changed its title to the Union
Messrs. Blair & Rives re-established Globe,
principally for this publication of debates in Con
gress, and it is now held to be the official record of
proceedings. Some three years since Mr. Rives
bought out Mr, Blair's interest.
Mr. Rivers, by industry, economy and good
sense, and without parsimony or injustice to
others, aocumulated a large fortune. His place of
business has for forty years been in Washington,
but some twelve or fifteen years ago he built a com
=odious country residence just within the county
of Prince George's, Maryland, on the turnpike
between Washington and Bladensburg, and on the
few acres which constitutes his farm he has been
a successful cultivator of the soil.

and his two daughters, Georgiana and Dorinda,
were taken to the Maryland Hospital in Baltimore
on Friday last. Mr. 'Keating and his daughters
have been subject to fits of insanity for several
years. ast, and their condition finally became so'
deplorable that the court at its last session ordered

SPECTAL -NOTICIES
THE GREAT tiENTRAL FAIR to ba
GT held in Philadelphia June, 1864.
The undersigned Committee on IMPORTA
TIONS beg your attentionio this appeal in banal'
of our Sick and Wounded Soldiers.
The broad and comprehensive benevolence of the
SANITARY COMMISSION is so well known as
to need no commendation from us, but we would
e.iuply state that the great work is attendee with a
corresponding expense, and we therefore confi
dPntly the residents of
PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, AND
D EL A WARE,
aid other friends of the sick and. wounded soldiers
everywhere, to aid the Commission in its labor o
rdriotism and Christian charity.
The special duty of this Committee is to invest
it collec ions in goods in Europe, to be imported
and sold at the GIIBAT CENTRAL FAIR.
Importations for this object are to be admitted
free of duty, and the , proprietors of the Cunard
Line of Steamships nave kindly consented to make
a great reduction in their price for freight. It will
thus be seen that money invested in me -chanit se,
imported free of duty, at a nominal expense for
freight, without the usual profits to Importers,
Jobbers,, and Retailers, must necessarily douhle
Arrangements have been made in Paris for' the
purchase of useful and fancy articles upon very
favorable terms.
The Committee, therefore, earnestly solicit con-,
tributiors in money, under the conviction that
every donation thus . invested will yield at. least
twice the amount to the funds of the SANITAIIr
Cou3ossiox.
The day fixed for the opening of the Fair is the
first Tuesday in June. The time is short for the
operations of this Committee, and your earliest
attention is therefore respectfully and urgently re
quested.

AN APPEAL
TO LOYAL PENNSYLVANIANS,
The f , GENTYSBURG BATTLE-FIELD ME
MORIAL ASSOOIAT ION" was institutedfor the
purpose of securing, forever, the principal points
upon the great battle-field Of the war, in the exact
condition in which they were left in JulY, 1f363,
when the rebel hordes of, the invader LEE were.
driven back from the free soil of Pennsylvania,
and when the gallant soldiers of GENERAL MEADE
remained in po. , session of the field which they had
wou by their vator. The Association havealneady
secured the put chase of CEMETERY HILL, GULP'
HILL, GRANITE. SPUR and ROUND TOP, with the
entrenchments thrown up just upon the eve of the
great conflict tsmi,h was the turning point in the
career of the rebellion. The field, with its redoubts,
wonderful stone defences, its timber breast-vi orks,
iisforest with the trees torn by shells and
countless bullets, and its long lines of earthwork
defences, have till been preserved intact, and to so
contirne to preserve them, as to be it monument
forever of the greatest of -American Battle-fields,
is the object of the formation of the AssOciation.
To enable a large number of persons to join in thi
patriotic work, the projectors of the plan placed
the subscriptions at ten dollars each. The payment

linking himself-directly with the field where the
lofty heroism of his countrymen vindicated the
integrity of the Union and the principles of Free
dom 1 And who would not desireto hand down as
a precious heir-loom to his children the evt4ence
of his part in the good work, bearing, as the certi
