Important Order to Regimental Offlrert
! run, the Washington Cinonitie, July 2.
The Secretary of War has issued a very
important order in regard to penalties for the
neglect of duty and disobedience of oiders
on the part of commissioned officers in charge
of troops about to be discharged the service.
The order reads:
In many instances delays have resulted in
paying mustered-out troops, in consequence
of regimental and company officers allowing
their men to disband, in violation of orders,
prior to their commands being reported for
payment and anal discharge to the chief
mustering officer, or his assistant* after arri
val at the designated State rendezvous. In
other cases there has been delay from com
pany and regimental officers neglecting to
furnish full data relative to the enlisted men,
thus rendering rite nyister-out rolls imper
fect, and necessitating corrections.
With the arrangements of the War Depart
ment, as now completed, there need he no
delay, anti consequently no hardship or in
convenience to the enlisted men, if luil data
tor the rolls be furnished in tlie field, and, if
after arrival in their respective States, as
well as during transit thereto, commissioned
officers look closely after the comfort and in
terest of their men, aqd remain constantly
with them, so as to enforce order and con
trol them.
It is therefore ordered, That Chief Must6r
ing Officers, and their Assistants, report by
telegram the names of all neglectful officers,
with the charges against them, to the Adju-'
tant General of the Army, (withholding in
the meantime, their final payments and hon
orable discharges,) with a view to their sum
mary and dishonorable dismissal from the
service with forfeiture of all pay. The re
port, by telegraph, will be sent, promptly
upon cases of neglect being brought to
notice, and, at thfc same time, the facts iu
full will be reported by mail.
Governors of States are requested to re
port delinquencies coming to their notice, to
the Chief Mustering Officer of the State, and
to the Adjutant General of the Army, so
that a prompt remedy may be applied.” *

Restoration of the Apparently Drowned.
The smsou for bathing being now on us,
the following instructions for the restoration
of the apparently drowned may l»e appropri
ately published, and we would advise per
sons residing near the water, in jairtieular,
to preserve them. They are based on the
methods of Dr. Marshall Hall aud Dr. H. E.
Sylvester, and were published last year by
the Royal Life-boat Institution, of London,
in the form of a largu sheet with woodcuts,
and extensively posted and distributed in
England.
directions.
1. Send immediately for mffdieal assistance,
blankets, dry clothing, hut in the meantime
treat the patient instantly on the spot, in the
open air, with the face downward; exposing
the face, neck, aud chest to the wind, except
in severe weather, and removing all tight
clothing from the neck and chest especially
the suspenders.
The points to be aimed at are, first imme
diately, the restoration of breathing; and,
secondly, alter breathing is restored, the pro
motion of warmth and circulation.
yhe first, must be done immediately and
energetically, aud persevered in for an hour
or two, or until a medical man has pronounc
ed life extinct. The second, beyond remov
ing the wet clothes and drying the skin, must
not lie made until the first appearance of na
tural breathing, otherwise it would endanger
the restoration of life.
2. To restore breathing. Place the patient
on the floor or ground, with the face down
wards and line of the arms under the tore
head. in which position ull fluids will more
readily escape from the mouth, and the
tongue itseif will fall forward leaving the
entmuoe of the windpipe free. Wipe and
cleanse the mouth from mud,-Ac. It satis
factory breathing commences, use the treat
ment described below for promoting warmth.
If the breathing is imperfect, or fails, then,
to excite breathing, turn the patient well
and instantly on liis side, supporting the
head, and excite the nostils with snuff, harts
home, Ac , or tickle tfie throat with a feath
er, rub the face and chest warm, and dash
cold water, or cold Cud hot water alternate
ly on them. If there be no success, lose not
a moment, but, instantly, to imitate breath
ing, replace the patient on the face, raising
or supporting the chest well on a folded cloth
or other article of dress. Turn the body
very gently on the side, and a littie beyond,
and then briskly ot*, the face again. Repeat
this operation cautiously and perseveringiy
at the rate of about fifteen times a minute,
occasionally vaiying the side. (Placing on
the chest forces out the air ; turning on the
side makes it enter the chest.) Every time
the body is replaced on the face, press brisk
ly and uniformly on the back, between and
below the shoulder-blade|| removing the
pressure immediately belore turning the
body on the side.
During the above operations, dry the hands
and feet and strip the body aud reclothe or
cover it, but so as not to interfere with the
efforts to restore breathing.
•i. Should these efforts not prove successful
iu the course of from two to five minutes,
proceed to imitate breathing by Dr. Sylves
ter’s method, as Yellows : Place the patient
on the back on a flat surface, inclined a little
upwards from the feet; raise aud support
the shoulders on a small cushion or folded ar
ticle of dress placed under the shoulder
blades; draw r forward the patient's tongue
aud keep it projecting beyond the* lips. Au
elastic band or string tied over the tongue,
and under the chin, will answer the purpose.
Remove all tight clothing from neck and
chest, especially the suspenders. To imitate
the movement of breathing, standing at the pa
tient's head, grasp the arms just above the
elbow's and draw them gently and steadily
upward above the head, keep them stretched
upward for two seconds; (by this-means air
is drawn into the lungs G then turn down
the patient's arms and prims them gently and
firmly for two seconds against the sides of
the chest. (By this means air is pressed out
of the lungs.) Repeat the operation steadily,
at the rate of about fifteen times in a minu
te, until a spontaneous effort to respire is
perceived, immediately upon which cease to
imitate the movements of breathing and pro
ceed to induce circulation and warmth.
,4. To promote warmth and circulation,
commence to rub the limbs upwards, yith
firm,, grasping pressure and energy, using
handkerchiefs, flannels, etc., (thus propell
ing the blood along the .veins towards the
heart.) The friction must be continued un
der the blanket or over tbe dry clothing.
Promote the warmth of the body by
plication of hot flannels, bottles of‘hot wa
ter, heated bricks, etc., to the pit of the
stomach, the armpits, between the thighs,
and the soles- of the feet. *
If the patient has been carried to a
house after respiration has been restored, be
careful to let the air play freely about the
roopi. On the restoration of life, give a
teaspoonful of warm water, and if the power
of swallowing has returned, small quantities
of wiue, warm brandy and water, or coflee.
Keep tbe patient iu bed and encourage sleep.
The above treatment should be persevered,
iu for some hours, as it is an erroneous opin
ion that persous are .irrecoverable because
life does not soon make its appearance, per
sons having been restored after persevering
for many hours.
Cautions —'Prevent unnecessary crowding
of persons round the body, especially if in
an apartment. Avoid rough usage, aud do
not allow the body to remain on its back un
less the tongue is secured. Under no cir
cumstances Hold the body up by the feet.—
On no account place the body iu a w'arm
bath, unless uuder medical direction, and
even then it should only be employed as a
momentary excitant.
The same treatment can be applied in other
cases ot asphyxia, as when respiration has
been suspended by strangulation, by foul air
in wells or privies, by the fumes of charcoal,
etc, whilst waiting for the arrival of phy
sician.
—From Havana comes news that ex Con
federate Secretary of War Breckinridge is
the recipient of very polite attentions from
the aristocratic, slave-loving element of Cu
ban society. It is rumored that he intends
to goto Spain.
—The crop accounts from all parts of the
country, particularly from the West, are of
the most favorable character. Harvesting
has already commenced in Southern Illinois,
and it will be fully two weeks earlier than
usual all over the country.
—ln the course of the next six weeks near
ly all the general hospitals will have been
broken up. Convalescent '-patients are being
discharged or transferred as fast as possible.
There are about ten thousand sick in hospi
tal at present.
