Commander A. H. Footy.

--The commander of the Mississippi flotilla, who has been in Cleveland since he was compelled by the state of his health to leave the fleet, leaves the city very shortly for his Eastern home. His health is still very feeble, while the condition of his wounded limb renders it impossible for him to bear the slightest weight upon it.--He has, however, so far recovered that he is ready to bear the excitement and fatigue of traveling. His lady has been with him ever since his arrival at the house of his brother, Hon. John A. Foote.

Commondore Foote was greatly affected, on Saturday, at the reception of the news of the terrible disaster to the Steamer Mound City, on the White river. The officers whose names were given as killed or wounded were men whom he had selected and appointed in the responsible posts they occupied, and as he read the names of one after another in the fatal list, he would tenderly speak of their good qualities and of the circumstances under which they were appointed. Again and again, in the course of a half-hours conversation, did he turn to this subject, and, with sympathizing words, express his sorrow at the untimely stroke. Cleveland Leader, June 25
