(ieneral Thomas Ewing said: "I think the general has passed the crisis in his disease. Ha has had four hours of und.isturbed aud restful repose, and before this he had not had two hours of quiet time. One lung is entirely free and the other one partially par-tially tilled with mucus. There is no indication of pneumonia, and the action ac-tion of heart and stomach is good. The general is weak and still in a critical condition, but the chances for his recovery re-covery are good."
