Crane has for­ mally enured npoti hi« duties as 8ur- sreon General of the Army, in which capacity he ha« been actir«g alpce the retirement of Surjjeon General Barnes. No material changes will be mad* In the personnel of the office. The selec­ tion of an assistant Surgeon General ha* been postponed until the next session of Congress. The fate ot aevaral pension bills Which passed the lower House, but failed to reach a vote in the Senate, during tlic |jite seg«ion of Congress, painfully ill list raff 8 t!ie#darger of neg­ lecting to press the consideration of such measures In the early days of the session. Had the House acted upon the $40 pension bill a month earlier than it did. the Senate committee would probably have been able to re­ port it and it might ere this have be­ come a law. Fewer buncombe speech­ es nnd more actual legislation--that is what nhe soldier would like to see. The Secretary of the na»y has ap­ proved the design of a flag to he known and used In the navy as the "President's Hag." It is fourteen feet long by eleven feet wide, and Is made of navy blue bunting. In the center Is the American coat of arms, the eagle holding in its mouth a pennant in­ scribed. "K Pluribns Unum.*' Thirteen white stars, representing the thirteen original States are at*fanged tn a sent I" circle above the coat of arms. This Aug will flv front the mainmast of every vessel used by the President The first one used for this service was displayed on the United States steam­ er Despatch, on her recent trip to New York. PoiKcrttng the Coantprnftft}. ^n amusing incident ef a soldier for­ getting the password occurred on Staten Island during the early cam­ paign of the First New York Reg­ iment Volunteer Engineer*. A good- natured soldier of the Fatherland was on guard, and the officer of the guard had taken considerable pains to In­ struct the sentinels In their duty, so that when the guard rounds were made everything would be^ Ir order. In go­ ing the rounds after midnight. every­ thing progressed satisfactorily until the inspecting party approached the German sentinel. He halted us cor­ rectly. but had evldentlv forgotten the countersign, and in his quandary said: 'Sergeant, come here and say sojae- (H ngs.,* gemtor Morton on KqualfawtlM of Bounties. Mr. President, justlco to the soldier cumot always be deferred. It must and will triumph sometime. If It does not. come this Congress it will come at some other Congress. It is a part of the war debt, as much so as the 5-30 bonds or the 10-40 bonds. It Is founded on the same prlnciplp of justice. It is an obligation resting upon this Nation, nnd if It takes #20.000,000. or#50.000.000. can make no difference. It Is a debt this Nation honestly owes and ought to be paid. I:i other words let the bounty be equalized; put all honorably iliecharged soldiers upon the same ba­ sis; pay them at the same rate. They arc entitled to It. The justice of it no man can dispute, and that is all that this bill contemplates. I am for it. I vote for it with all my heart. Rnmlnttloii of Pension Surgeon*. General Dudley, Pension Commiss­ ioner. has (sotied the following: That the Commissioner of Pensions may aid the Secretary in securing the kind ot persons contemplated in the act of Au­ gust 5, providing for the appointment of tit teen physicians as medical re­ viewers in the Pension Office, the med­ ical referee has been directed to organ­ ize a board to examine all applicants for appointment. The board will con­ vene at the Pension OflJoe on the 30th instant at nine o'clock. A, M. The l*w provides that none hut surgeons "of education, skill and experience'1 shall be appointed, and thus yon»g men who have not had experience In practice, are not eligible. All applicants will be required to present certificates of personal and profeseloaal standing be­ fore entering upon the examination. Object* of the Grand Army. The objects to be accomplished by this organization are as follows: 1. To preserve and strengthen those kind and tratemal feelings which bind together the soldiers, sailors and ma­ rines who unite j to suppress the late rebellion, and to perpetuate the mem­ ory an.l history of the dead. 2. To assist such former comrades tn arms as may need help and protec­ tion, and to extend needful aid to the widows and orphaus of those who have falleu. 3. To maintain .true aljegiauce to the United States of America, based MPPM » paramount respect fur jwi4£ilc)> ity to the National Constitution and laws, to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, incites to in­ surrection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficiency and pernaneiicy of our free institutions; and to spread universal liberty, equal rights and justice to all men. A 0HAT WITH OKNKRAI. PUDLtf H(JW the Petwioh Bureau i» Being J'Ajnipped-- A jFew Worda to the Bttyn--Looking Out for Their (e rents. The now appointments In tit* Pen­ sion Bureau have given rise to consid­ erable newspaper gossip on account, of the ignoring of the ladv applicants; and now it U stated that in the next four hundred appointments the ladies will have an equal share with the men. Commissioner of Pensions Dudley, when a«ked in regard to the policy of the Department In making Appoint­ ments, said: "When this bill * passed granting an increase of clerical force It passed on its merits for the purpose of settling the pending cla|u»s. -Tt vvas not intended to be a bill simply to give places to people, but to facilitate the business of tills office. On this principle-my recommendation to the Secretary was based. U hud been found that the clerical force of this office was disposed in the proportion of one clerk to one examiner. con­ cluded to make the experiment of h$v- ing two-thirds of the force examiners aitfd one-third clerks, and after consul­ tation with the Secretory the uharac- ter of the material I needed was de­ termined upon. The suggestion was acted upon and now we will see how it works. If it h found that more clerks are necessary the Secretary will ap­ point more of that class. About twelve or fifteen lady clerks will come in on the 1st of September, and the Secretary has selected them. I will probably need a few more ladieg about December 1st or January 1st, and if they are good clerks I would just as soon have them as tho men for the class of work they will be put on. But the main tiling that is considered is the Interests of this office and facilitat­ ing its work ot settling pension claims." "In tho recent appointments. Gen­ eral, what proportion of the appointees are ex soldiers or tbe sons of ex-sol- dl'ers?" "You can see." responded the gen­ eral promptly, as he handed over a tlitfgh of appolntments JHted the lower part of which were the let­ ters "G. A. R.,'* "that soldiers and the sons of soldiers receive recognition here as far aa possible. 1 should think, from what I have seen, that more than fifty per cent, of the appointees that have been selected thus far arc ex- Union soldiers." 'Have you anything to say to tho 'boys "Tell tliem I ajm hurrying up their claims as fast as possible^ aud shall leave nothing undono to facilitate the examination of those pending in the Bureau. We are now equipping tho office thoroughly, and on the strictest business principles, and every possible dispatch will he giVei) to the settle­ ment of claims. I tlilnk the new force will work admirably. )fy heart is in the work the hungry veterans may rely upon it that their interests will be fully protected in this office, so f*r as my power goes." A Wilt INCIDKNT. A Surgeon'8 Idea of Soldierly Courage --4 Pathetic Story. Mnoh comment has been.made, says Dr. Geo. I. Rice, of„La Moille. 111., in a communication to the Chicago Inter Ocean, on the bravery of an English marine who caught up a shell from the deck of a bombarding vesse) ^t Alex­ andria and dipped the fuse into a pai) of water, thereby preventing its explo­ sion and its accompanying d'8*s^e,'s. for which lie is to receive a special decoration from the hands of the Queen. Since which there have been many cases of similar bravery mentioned among our owit Yankee soldiers during the late war. There are few person? whose fortune it has been to be. uuder fire but ht^ve observed much of the sama kind of coolness; Indeed, it was so common that only the cases coming under the notice of newspaper writers or officers high in command were ever noticed in print or official reports. My thought In writing this was to tell a story of a different character, but one in which the courage of a yonng lad was not less mjoked under sadder surroundings. On the se3ond day of Antietam I was ordered by Dr. Samuel Rollins. P. R- V. R.. to find a place where there was water and shelter sufficient to ac- copnuodate a field hospital. A place having all tlie requisites, close to our line of battle, was found npon the farm of Mr. John Showman, and his barns, sheds, house and yards we;e quickly filled with rows of wounded men. Though out of range of tlie enemy's gups, it was a place to try the courage of those in attendance. Every move ot the surgeons was watched by scores of men. and upon arrising from a'pa­ tient from as many lips would (ifliiie the much-used salute, "For Qod's 6$ke. Doctor, atte 1 to uio now." One little . How about 17 yeara old was particular!^ urgent iu his calls. (Jpyu goiu£ to i»iui I had been struck in the right side 0f tW« abdomen, making two wounds--one of entrance and another of exit--through both of which a large knuckle of bow­ els was protuding. 'The case looked t** hopeless that 1 passed him by witli * promise to oil "gain, and went !• work on cases where t^ere wa* mora promise of doing some good, lint ev­ ery time I arose from a patienl his pleading eyes would meet me. and hit pathetic appeal could no longer he re­ sisted; so hu'nring up Dr. Rollins and enlisting his ready sympathy and hand we placed him under the ,infiueiMso chloroform, and ptad* yk fakhful at­ tempt to replace the^pfotuding and In­ flamed bowel, but found the injury so great thatthp case was beyond tho help of the surgeon. ^e left him to the care of a crmrade.- ^Pon "'9 turn to consciousness he asked the re­ sult. His friend d.ecliued to gfve htm the information, but summoned me. I satidown upon the ground beside and told him of .the sad results of our ef­ forts. and assured hiiu that the end jpits surely and speedily coming. •'Then." said he, "there1 is an hope, f must di(!." Upon being assured suoli was the case, lie asked for his knapsack; took from it sdme keepsakes, and aske^ that they be s«i|t to 110 Chestnut «treet. Philadelphia, tho home of his mother. He requested that I wou]d write his mother telling her of his death, and where the body might be feuud; that I would say t<i his mother and sister that he died wltl| a heart tender with theil>, precious memories, and thar hei died without fear or regret, giving his lifp for his eodntry. which they had taught hi in to love so well. His name was Bryant-; Wm. H.. I think. I have forgottpf) tho company aiid regiment. After making his arrangements he lay with the great­ est patience and cheerfulness awa>t|ng the tiual discharge, which canffe in a few hours. Not a murmur or com­ plaint, but perfect resgnation until tho last.. This is one of the teuderest f|f many sad recollect ions of army dtys, and in my opinion shpwed a courage of a higher character than the wetting of a fuse, or the hasty patting af » shell ou« of the way of doing personal damage. ' . , ^ How PresKtvnt'Unooln Paid the Boyi. ' I happened to be in Delaware whe^ the war broke out and resolved to offer my services to the Government, and proceeding,to Washington city helped to sfS?Tn"%i>rnpany frloeM#":^ sergeant, in company B. Turqer Rifles, D. C. volunteers. Gen. McDowell Clus­ tered us into service in front Of the White House. Our services were m«#»h appreciated, as we had to be np eyepy day and night, for fear that tho Qoy- ernment ^nildings would be fired, #n4 I tell you it wits no funny business in those days, for you conld not tell who was "seeesli" and who was "Union.** After our term of service had expired there was some lack in getting onf pay. \V}jere the fault lay we kneqp not, but it so happened as I was stand­ ing on one of the avenues talking wltl} some of the Connecticut boys on the!* way home, a carriage drove up.? )tt occupants were President Lincoln, Secretary Seward and another gentle­ man. Hearing j* familiar nartie mon- tioned I turned, when the driver b?0fc? oued to me. requesting me to come on to the carriage, as the President wished to speak to me. Mr. Lincoln greeted me very kindly and* questioned mo in regard to the regiments that on the sidewalk, as to their number, wiiat State they were from, and where they were going.
