The city is located on quite an uneven
spot. There is a great deal of up hill and

buildings The court house is of free stone
and is perhaps as good as any other in the
State. The Episcopal Cathedral is Of The
same material, and Is very grand.
But the beauty of tho city is greatly soil
ed and furnished by coal and smoke. Al
the fuel used is coal aud the great number
of steamboats, and steam factories consume
such immense quantities OF it. and the coal
baing the bituminous-thc most smoky
kind-occasions an immense amount OF dense
black smoke and dust. When approaching
the city from distance, the first thing You
will see is dense cloud Of smoke hanging
over it. This, of course, tiases everything

How Our Fathers Treated

Mr.. B. J. Tossing, historian Of the

There is much that is instructive in the
record, as will be seen by the following
extracts

SOME OF THE OF WAR.
From the Cincinnati Times, l4th ins,

Last evening two Government steam
crs arrived here from Gallipolis, having
on board two hundred and six sick sol
dcrs from Gen. Rosencrans army. On.
nbuscs were procured and they we're
sent to the Military Hospital, only to
learn to their horror that that institution
was already full, and there were no ac
commodations for them Their distress
on learning this fact was very great, and
they begged the privilege of entering the
buildin; and lying anywhere until they
could be better accommodated.
They were all very sick, some with
camp dysentery, but mostly with the
typhoid fever The authorizes at the
hospital could not turn these men rway,
and tiually admitted them, and serving
them with tea and other refreshments,
did the best possible under the crcum-
stances to make them comfortable. The
parlors and all the spare rooms in the
house we're thrown open to them, and
they lay down on the floors, rolled up in
their blankets. The sickcst were thus
disposed Of When the rooms were full,
others, provided with comforts and pill
lows, were slowed away in the halls and
passages, md thus left for the night, -
Those needing immediate medical atten-
tion received it,
We visited the hospital about half past
ten O'Clock The scene was a sorrowfuI
one indeed, Young men, burning up
With fevcrs, were lying on the floor,
crowded close together, with no bed be
meath them. Others reduced almost to
skeletons by dysentery, were lying upon
their blankets as thickly clustered to
cether. Beds or cots had been provided
for the worst cases; but from the two
hundred and six, very sick soldiers, W,
heard not murmur nor complaint
The poor fellows seemed glad TO ob
tain even these accommodations. W,
found several ladies and gentlemen there
who had volunteered in rendering assist
ance, and were doing all in their power
to recder the men as comfortable as pos
sible.
The story of these gallant and stricken
soldiers is Of great woe and sorrow, ant

An Incident in Baltimore.

A letter from Baltimore says: : "An
officer who came up from Annapolis was
walking in the streets, when he met la
DIV who gathered her skirts close to her
and said: Don't touch me, you vile
wretch,' and passed on. TIE gentleman
made no reply, but, turning round, fol
lowed her to handsome house on a fash
ionab!e street, and as soon as she entered
he ascended she steps al d rang the bell.
A servant answered the summons, and
the officer asked the name of the gentle
man residing there, and said he wished
to see him. When he appeared, the Off
Ger said to him: Sir, woman just en-
tered this house who grossly insuted me
on the streets few Monuments since, and
| wish to know if you are responsible for
her BEHAVIOR The gentleman turned
toward the lady, y-ho was standing be-
hind him, and said: Anna, come here
and apologize to this gentleman. l will
not be drawn into scrapes by your inso-
lence l have told you all along that you
would get yourself into trouble by your
upbridled tongue, and you wouldn't lis.
ten to me; now you may take the conse
quences.' The lady then came forward
and made full apology, and the officer

The New Orleans Canardss

The rebels of New Orleans have been
forced to tell so many sorry truths, ir
the seizure by our feet Of Ship leland,
and the passes of the Mississippi, that
that they have tried their hand, at lHtlo
lying to keep up their courage or keep
down our jubilation. First, Hollius"
telcgraphcd very Munchausen account
Of a complete success he had won, with
his mosquito fleet, in sinking or disabling
the blockade squadron. But this Hollius
who was formerly of our navy, has no
great reputation for truth or modesty,
and the figures he gave Of the furcc en-.
gagged, and the number Of guns, were
enough to stamp the thing as untrue At
first sight. The next csnnrd was that
the U. s. steamer Saranac had been
wrecked off the mouth of the MIssissip.
pi, whereas the truth n the case is this,
that the Saranas is on the Pacific, and
was last heard from at San Francisco-
