desire 10 express his admiration of the
zeal evinced by certain secession fani-
lies in, administering to the wants and
alternating the sufFerings of the Confed-
crate wounded to-day brought TO this
city.
Great praise should be awarded them
for their devotion to the suffering sol
diers Of that cause 10 which they are so
enthusiastically allied.
Desiring TO give them still greater ia
cilities for the exercise Of that devotion
which to-day led them through the mud
OF the public streets Of this city, un-
mindful Of the inclemency Of the wealth
er, and desiring farther TO obviaie the
necessity of that public and Haunting
display, which must be repugnant to the
retiring dispositions Of the softer sex:
The General Commanding directs as
follows:
: Surgeon THuRsToN, Medical Director,
will select IS of the wounded and sick
Confederate soldiers this day brought
from the front to be quartered as follows /:
Fifteen at the house Of Mrs. MCCALL
fifteen at the house of DR.. BUCHANAN,
and fifteen at the house of Mr.. SANDY
CARTER; all on Cherry Street immediate
ly below Church Street.
As it is desirable that the sick and
wounded should not be agitated by the
presence of too many persons, no one
will be admitted to the rooms in which
the wounded are, except their Surgeons,
without passes from Surgeon THURsToN.
Each family above named will be held
responsible for the safe delivery of the
Confederate soldiers thus assigned, when
called for by the proper military author
ity, under penalty, in failure of such de-
livery, of forfeiture TO the United States
Of their property and personal liberty.

Unless we are much mistaken, il was
the intention Of our corporate auIhori-
ties, even ia the embryonate days OF
Nashville, that the pAyements OF our city
should be constructed for the benefit Of
pedestrians. There il, We discover, some
mistake in regard to this matter. We
see that opposite the Government horse
shooting establishment, on North Market
street-and at other placos-the side
walks have been converted into stalls
for horses, Notwithstanding the fact that
there are other places in the vicinity
more appropriate for horse -hitching pur
poses. This is great nuisance to foot

crowded OF into mud ankle deep, by the

A Cold SNAP.-It is universally adj
mitted that yesterday was the coolest
day that we have had this winter. IL
was raw, freezing day; and to add TO
its severity old Boreas, that clustering
son of bully, would dart around the
corners and strike you in the face with
his ice-hung wind-club and then gallop
of, believing upon the blast, and would
suddenly return and kick the ooncentra-
ted coldness of thousand ice-burgs
clear through your bones. 1t was cold
day and we hope to see no more such
weather until we pay visit TO Iceland
and get prepared for it.

AN EFFECTIVE PASS A corrrespons
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette tells this
anecdots concerning one of our brigadiCr
generals: A certain citizen applied TO
him for a pass. The general motioned
TO a clerk to write one, and then pro-
ceeded to sign it. Not being close to a
table he stuck it up against the white
washed wall of the room which constitus
ted his headquarters, wrote his name
with a pencil, folded the pass, and
handed it 10 the citizen. The latter
took his departure; but the clerk, look
ing up at the wall, was convulsed with
laughter to find written there, in con-
spicious looking letters, the name and
title of the signer, = -,
Brigadier General" The joke was OBJ
vious. The general had been imbibing
too freely oFcOntraband liquids, and in
consequence of the obliquty Of vision
occasioned thereby, had written his n ame
under the pass instead OF upon it.
The establishment and dismay Of the
citizen when he presented his pan at the
picket post may be imagined. AS the
general in question is not often In the con-
dition which led to this funny circum-
stance, l forbear to mention his name.
