DR., LEWIS, whose card appears in anoth-

December last. He came we'll recommen-
ded by the profession as an able and skill
full Dentist, and has already shown his
skill by work done for a number of indi-
viduals Of this city and vicinity, among
whom we are permitted to name Miss
Tenny, OF the public schools Miss Macy,
of East Ottawa; and Mr. Jos. Pusey, near
this city. These parties. who had worn ar

of the superiority of his work. AS DR.. L.

and Morning, ballet troupe of little
girls beautifully dressed in pastures of the
dance; also some patriotic and comic
scenes. The tableaux of the little girls
were original in conception and evinced
exquisite taste and tact. The audience

such extensive claims, and endeavor, in
this report, to do justice to the different

HorcHrALIxGs BAArgRY.-We regret to
learn, by a dispatch from Capt. Houghtal-
ing to E. Y. Griggs, Esq, of this city, that
his battery was taken in the repulse of
our right wing at the ba tile Of Murfrees-
boro with a loss of about 40 men, killed,
wounded and missing. As the enemy
took about 1000 prisoners in that part of
the action, and the slaughter on our side
was not terrible, i. is possible most of the
40 are prisoners Capt H., acting as chief
not in immediate command of the battery
that had doubtless devolved on LIST
Lieut.. Prescott. Capt H. was slightly
wounded
Among the reported killed in this greal
battle, we notice with extreme pain the
name Of the gallant Col Bartelson, of
Jolet-Col. of the Tooth ILL., regiment.
DE- J. O. HAgBJs BY his card in our
advertising columns, it will be seen that
Dr. j. o. HARRIS, late assistant surgeon of
the sd III. regiment, has opened an office
and resumed the practice of medicine in
this city. DR.. ii. spent something over
year in the army-long enough to demon
strats that his constitution would not
bear up under the rough and tumble Of
active camp life, whence he reluctantly
resigned. His experience, and eminent
success, however, as an army surgeon, can
not fail to rebound greatly to his advan-
tage as a local practitioner. 1t is worthy
OF note, that although he held nominally
but a secondary position in the regiment,
he was the only surgeon during four or
FIVE months while the regiment lay at this
city, aud that during that time no lost no
patient While in actual service In the
field, SO we'll appreciated were his abilities.
that both at Bolivar and La Grange, he
was raised over the heads of half dozen
older surgeons, and made chief Of the
Hospitals at these points His resignation
was accepted 10y Gen. Rosecrans in a letter
of profound regret and In the
highest degree complimentary, and on its
to Gov Yates, was accompa.
MED by hi.n with a standing promise TO
appoint DR.. ii. to a principal surgeonship
whenever he would accept it. Such facts
ought, and we have no doubt
will, strengthen, if that i. possible. the
of our people in the ability and
skill of DR.. Il As practising physician.

From New Orleans.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The ram Dictator

The steamer Corsica, from Havana 10Th
and Nassau 2lst, arrived this snoon. Several

The following is additional to New Or

The MINsTRELs Ar NAUGHToN HALL
The Troupe of Minstrels, now performing
at Naughton Hall, have given three success
full exhibitions. Their performances are
varied and amusing. The instrumental mil-
sic is very fine. The Hall, considering the
very unpleasant state of the weather, was
well filled last night. m
The programme for the evening was an
excellent one, and was well filled out in all
its parts. Mr.. Collins sang the Dream of
Home with fine skill and effect. The Banjo
Solo by Nick Foster and the Violin Solo by
Ferd. Reinholt were greatly admired. So
were the song and dance by Bill Manning.
But the Clog Dance by the Champion, Joe
Childs, created a perfect stream Of applause,
and also the Double Hornpipe in Fetters,
by Herdandez and Francis Foster. In the
pantomime of the Brazilian Ape, Mr.. III.
Foster represented Jacko's antics to perfec-
ton. 4"
The Troupe will perform at Naughton
Hall tomorrow (Monday) evening, and for
several successive evenings of this week.
There will be q change of programme at
each performance. Thisevening the Foster
Troupe will exhibit the Grand Pantomime
of the Trumpet. and other musical and
comical varieties will be given. . .. ....-
