CoMPLIMENTARY. We notice that
Adjutant General Baker has been recommend
ed in the House of our State Legislature for
Brigadier General. The General would. no
doubt, do himself honor in that position The
Gazette's correspondent seems to intimate that
the Senate does not appreciate the idea. That
is very likely.
GIVING AWAY Dry GooDs.-It is
shame that the goods at Parker Il Van Tuyl's
auction rooms have to be sold at such a sacri-
fee. Hou-ekeepers should make the mos, Of
this opportunity and provide themselves with
what they can get at other place for the
came money. Call every dag, at 10 and
o'clock
STREET Commissioner Baker has had
a gang of twenty eight men employed for the
past two days in clearing the ice out Of the
gutter on the east side Of Harrison street.
This gutter is high above the ground immedi-
ntely east Of it, and there was q prospect OF
having de!uge among the petp pie who hved
below the line of said gutter. The matter is
Albright now.

probable that the rebels will stand fight at

THE Treasury Note bill has at last
passed. 1t comes to us partially legal tender
and partially not. Duties are to be paid in
coin and the interest on the bonds with which
the notes are redeemable are also paid in coin.
That is better than the original draft by con-

DIS. McCarn aud Maxwell, who were
sent down by the citizens to look after the
welfare Of our wounded soldiers. have been
taken into the Government service, and are
now at Fort Donelson, earnestly engaged in
alleviating the sck AMI suffering. Wonder if
