GEN. GAINES IN COMMAND OF EAs-
TERN DIVISION find the following
announcement, with the appropriate re-
marks annexed, in the Portsmouth New
Era of Tuesday:
We feel high sense of qualification in
announcing that late on Saturday evening
this distinguished officer received, through
the Adiutant Generals office at Washing
ton, his orders from the proper Department
TO take command of the Eastern Division,
fixing his Head quarters either at New
York, Philadelphia, or Troy. He has
selected New York as the most important
point; and yesterday afternoon, the very
first conveyance that left, the Osceola, after
his orders were received, found Gen.
Gaines on his route to duty.
We believe it would have been more
agreeable TO him to have been ordered back
to the Western Division, where he might
have completed his plans of defence for tho
Mississippi river, but he says it is the duty
ofIhe soldier TO obey orders, not question
them, and we took leave of him, with the
proud consciousness that we were in the
presence of brave and ready patriot and
soldier, whose only object is to serve his
country, and preserve unsulied his honor
and his fame.
In conversation with the General Just
previous TO his departure, the subject of
the late investigation came up, when he
expressed himself as extremely grateful to
the Secretary of War, for the opportunity
he had afforded him, through Cour of
Inquiry, TO place himself yectuS IN cmio
the American people.

UNNATURAL GROWTH OF HAIR.--A
French physician, Olivier, writing recent
ly, narates the case of lady, remarkable
for the fairness Of the skin, and beauty of
lICi dCCl' bldCh ldlI, WllO wa VIC SulJcCl
Of fever, and while recovering, perceived
the whole surface of her body TO be in q
slate termed "gooSe skin" In few days
the little elevations looked dark at the
summit, and were surmount9d each by
short black hair, which grew very rapidly,
so that, at the end OF month, every part
Of her body, with the exception of her face,
the palms Of her hands, and the soles other
feet, was covered with short hairy coat,
of about on inch in length.
ANEW NosE.-A Cincinnati surgeon
performed a singular operation lately. A
man whose nose turned up was placed in
the operating chair, a wedge-shOped piece
taken from the cartlerage that separates
the noStrS, and the parts then brought
together aud firmly stitched. The operation
being concluded, the patient took look at
himself ard was mighty tickled at the i'm
provement in his nasal organ. The man
hasquite recovered, aud his friends scarcely
know him with his new nose.
