The Washington specials contain the
following items
The War Department is making good
progress with appointments under the
National Militia Law Those for Ohio,
New York and Massachusetts, are nearly
completed; other New England States
with Pennsylvania and New Jersey, will
next be taken up.
The Committee on the conduct of the
war are working hard at their report,
which is to be made on the 4th of April.
1t is said that it will contain evidence of a
nature calculated to lead at least, one
Major General to call for Court Of In
quiry.
Times dispatch:
General Burnside has been assigned to
the command of the Department of the
Ohio, to succeed General Wright.
Colonel Ludlow, Commissioner for the
exchange of prisoners, arrived here to-day
and made his report TO the Secretary Of
War. He has succeeded, after much labor,
in getting all citizens released and ex-
changed. The rebel authorities tried very
hard to force many of these prisoners into
their service.
Colonel Ludlow confirms the reports Of
great distress existing in Richmond and
other parts of the South, for want of food.
He says they met with the serious loss by
burning of an immense storehouse of sup
plies, of which no newspaper mention has
been made

The Old Public Funcrionary---Sad. so,i-
Iary, Friendless Jnmes Buchannn.


The Old Public Functionary---SRd, sOlf-
tRry, kriendless James Buchanan.
A Harrisburg correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Chronicle writes the following
graphic picture Of the utter friendlessness
of The man who once held the proudest Of
fee in the American gift, 5ut who now
goes down to his grave, "unwept, union
ored and unsung"
A curious incident occurred to me on
my return from Philadelphia, upon yes
terday, to this place. At Downington, an
aged man with profuse faxenly-wbite
whiskers, his long white hair hanging over
his coat collar, entered the cars. His hat
was rather broad in the rim, and showed a
large sized head under it; the face is be-
ginning to sink from its former fabby
roundness, and the skin is drawing tightly
over the cheek bones; the large eyes, one
of which is slightly drawn aside, rolled
around restlessly and nerVously. Alone
he entered the cars with small portman-
teau in hand. No one accompanied him.
No one greeted him upen his entrance,
though his uneasiness of manner showed
that he expected at least respect, if not ad-
ulation. Not a ST. gle salutstion, either by
bOWing, by an offer Of hands, or any other
token of recognition, was given. The
tremulous motion Of hands and head showed
/ that's was laying its hands heavily upon
| him. Seventy-ive years was superinduc-
ing the debility which preeedes paralysis
| The step was feeble and the form bowed
{" sat for an hour, silent but attentive
observer Of all that was transpiring about
him. Not a soul addressed him. Gloomy,
absorbed and silent he sat as one who felt
keenly that power had departed, and that
with it had gone his influence. Many Of
the passengers, and among them the sol
diers on board, peered curiously at him,
as they would at wild animal of some
unknown species in a menagerie The
soldiers after looking at him, would pass
into the forward cars and curse him deep
ly and bitterly. Yet with all this dissatis-
faction with his presence, there was no
open insult by look, gesture or expression
in his presence inflicted upon him. They
respected too much the majestic saeredness
of the Office he had once filled.
"The train at last reached Lancaster
A crowd was found surrounding the cars
as there always is st that place. The old
man passed out as TREMENDOUSLY as he had
entered. No kind smile, no greeting, nc
warm shake of the hand, no eyes beaming
with delight as they are wont to do upon
one who has borne the highest hOnOrs his
country could confer, when those honor:
have remained green and beautiful unit
honor is laid down and life departs. Shut
fling slowly along the platform he met on.
ly one person who noticed him-a poor
aged janitor of the side rooms Of the depot
Even this greeting WIS hailed with lively
satisfaction. The interview lasted ont
moment and, like Aeeting shadow, james
Buchanan passed into the main street o
Lancaster, solitary and sad, amid hi
neighbOrs and those who were friends il
former years"

DEAN OF d.. FIv.


We regret to learn that DR.. D. L. Ely,
First Assistant Physician Of the Central
Ohio Lunatie Asylum at Columbus, died
suddenly in that city on Saturday last Of
appePlexy. De- Ely had been connected
with the Asylum for seven years, and had
worked many reforms in the treatment Of
the unfortunate patients there confined.
We recollect being shown by the Doctor,
some years since, the room in the Asylum
which had been built for, and used as a
"mad house" where those who were the
most noisy and troublesome had been
confined with heavy chains, manacles,
padlocks and other like formidable imple-
ments. Here they had beat the walls with
their iron-bOund hands, and hence hsd
been heard most fearful shrieks and cries
from the disOrdered inmates, whose mala-
dy had been greatly increased through the
barbarous means taken to restrain it. DR..
Ely saw at once, on his entrance into
the Asylum, the evil effect Of all this iron
array and determined to make radical
change. With much difficulty, he obtained
the consent Of the Directors to make the
desired improvements. He then removed
the patients, took out all the cell partitions,
leaving the "mad house, one large room,
and then, with great labor and skill, con-
structed one Of the most charming green
houses we ever beheld, with sparkling
fountains, dashing cascades and miniature
brooks and ponds, all surrounded and en-
ivened by choice native and imported
plants and flowers. When all was com
plete he returned the poor maniacs to the
house which had been the scene Of so much
torture to them, and, striking from their
limbs all fetters and chains, gave them
liberty to roam in and enjoy the beautiful
scene. The change in the patients was no
less marked than that in the place, and
from that day to this, he has used none Of
the relics of barbarism which we saw
piled up in an out house, save in very rare
cases. Hope and nOtifear was made the
ruling impulse, and the privilege Of an !
hour in the greenhouse was now far more !
potent to ensure good behavior, than the
fear Of confinement within its gloomy |
walls had been. Is it too much to say thst |
DR.. Ely thus proved his right to the title |

HIGH WIND.-The piping blast pipes right
merrily to-day. It will have the effect to
break up the ice that is in the lake, and hast
en- the opening of navigation. So pipe away.
As the wind sweeps through the streets it
causes many chase for the fugitive beaver.
This morning, on Superior street, man who
wears wig had his hat blown of, and with
it went the wig. There is nothing more ri
dieulOus than a wig-wearer with his wig of,
and it is net singular that the boys shouted
and laughed at the figure he cut in chasing
down hat and hair. When he caught the
wig he put it on wrong side before, which
made the boys laugh louder still, and then
he gave voice to his modification and rage
in an audible imprecatiOn, (,0igged manD
The high wind is in strong antagonism to

streets tO-duy do It at the expense of rude
and ungallant bufFetings.

A BLOoNERITE.-We thought BloOmerism
in dress had expired, but found this morning
it had not. We saw lady at the depot
dressed in complete BlOomer costume, short,
hoopless skirts, trowsers, and patent leather
DoOLs. uEaU COIUI, anu a..
she had been pretty would have been very
becoming. But it has been generally OBJ
served that the women who adopt that style
of dress have not the least claim to personal
beauty. In proportion as they are strong
minded, they are weak in charms of figure
and face. This woman was decidedly
" scrawny," and homely enough to give one
the nightmare. She seemed quite elated by
the sensation which her appearance created.

Grnnd ReIlei Procession.

Indiana has some contemplate Copper

devotion to the interests Of the soldiers.
The farmers near Indianapolis, on Satur-
day, termed a procession, and hauled to
the city over one hundred and fifty cords
Of wood, together with large amount Of
provisions, &C., as a voluntary gift to SOL
diers families. The procession was es-

the 6Sd regiment, and the procession was
everywhere hailed with cheers of delight.

moment Of the fight the rebels made the

left, but were driven back repeatedly with
fearful slaughter.
aThe soldiers Of the Illinois, Ohio and
Indiana regiments took deliberate aim,
and at several places were forced to a hand

invineible bravery. Our artillery was so

entirely from the wound, which was in his
head, but recently he was prostrated from
the effects of it, and is likely to die. The
brain seems to have been partially paralyzed
by the wound, and this paralysis has extend

alive this forenoon, but it was thought that
he could not long survive. He was a mem-
