The Fenian Brotherhood Of Nashville
celebrated yesterday the anniversary Of St..
PatriclE's Day. A Procession, composed Of
between two and three hundred persons,
was formed, headed by band Of music,
and after moving through the principal
streets Of the city, it returned about II o.
clock 10 the Hall, No. 70 College Street. We
understand for we did have an opportu-
nifty to witness the ceremony-that a SPLEEN
did banner was presented to the Brother
hood, Major T. c. Fitzgibbon, Of the l4th
Michigan Veterans, receiving it and res
ponding in a brief eloquent and appro-
pirate speech. The celebration closed
with a grand bail at night, in which
large crowd Of ladies and gentle
men participated, the utmost good
feeling prevailing. The celebration was in
all respect creditable to the Brotherhood.
That they may have many, and still more
successful, is our earnest wish.

CAPTURE OF DECATUR On Tuesday
last, Gen. Dodge left Athens with a
small force, consisting of portion of
Fuller's Brigade and the Engineer
Corps, for the Tennessee river, which
he reached and crossed the same night.
He surprised the enemy at Decatur, and
captured it with but little resistance
from the terrified rebels The General,
with q small body-guard, noisely cross
ed the river near the town, and by the
aid of heavy fog, was not discovered
until near the opposite bank. The reb-
els, on discovering the boat approach
ing, demanded them to halt, but they
didn't halt "worth a cuss," whereupon
the rebels fired several volleys at the
boat, doing no other damage than
splashing water on the men and leaving
several shots in the boat, after which
they skedaddled" with the boats
crew close at their heels. The main
part of the force crossed above town,
and arrived at the outskirts Just in
time to see the flying rebels make their
exit on the opposite side. The force in
Decatur was estimated at from four to
six hundred, about equal to the num-
Der that so skillfully drove them out
and captured their city Our forces
still hold the place, and, we understand,
will make a permanent post there

How to cure a Smoky Chimney.

For hard lying, the following cant be
beat A correspondent, who lives in New
Hampshire, states that IN those. parts. re-
sides a man called Joe, afell5W motel for
the tough lies he can tell, and as a sample
relates the following: i-+
Joe called at Holton' s. one day, and
found him almost choked with smoke,
when he suggested ~, ~
g You don't knew as much about man
aging smoky chimneys as do, squire, or
you'd cure EN-" -F
"Ah, - said HOlton, with interest, "did
you ever see q smoky chimney. eured2"
." Seen a smokey chimney cured ?" said
old Joe. "I think I havel Ihad the worst
one in SeabOard county once, and I cured
it a little too much.
How was tbat?" asked HoltOn.
Why, you see,' said Joe, F." you sec, 7
built a little house out yonder IN Wolf
Hollow, tenor Twelve years ago. Jim Bush,
the fellow that built the cLimneys, kept
blind drunk three quarters Of the time,
and crazy drunk the other. I told him
that he would have some: hing wFongs but
he stuck to it and finished the house. Well,
we moved 10, and built a fire the next
morning to boil the o ta-kettle An the
smoke came through the room and went
out Of the windows; not a bit went up the
fues. We tried it for two or three days,
and it got worse and worse. By-and-by it
came on to rain, and the rain come down
the chimney. It put the fire out in a min
ute, and directly it came down by the pail
ful. We had to get the baby off the floor.
as soon as we could, or it would have been
drowned. In fifteen minutes the water
stood knee-d deep on the Aoor. Then Invent
out aud took loak. 1t didn't rain half so
hard outside, and I pretty soon see what
was the mltter The drunken cuss had
put the chimney wrong end up, and it
drawed doWnwards; It gathered all the rain
within hundred yards, and poured it
d,wn bucketsful. - -l .
We'll, that was unfortunate, remarked
HoltOn. But what in the world did you
do with the house? Surely, you never
cured that chimney ?" .----.
Didn't I, though ?" answered old ice.
" Yes, did"
"How ?" asked HOlton.
"Turnel-it the other end up, said the
incorrigible, and then you ought to have
seen it draw. That was the way I cured it
too much"
."Drew too much ?" asked Holtou.
Well, squire, you may Judge for your
SELF" suid old Joe. Pretty soon after
we got the chimney down and the other
end up. I missed one Of the chairs out of
the room, and directly I see another Of 'em
towards the Fireplace. Next tho
table went, and I seen the, back log q ing
up, Then I grabbed the old woman un-
der one arm and the baby under totbcr,
and started but just as l got to tho door,
l seen the cat going across the floor back
wards, holding on with her claws Is the
carpet, yelling awfully. Itwasn't no use.
Just seen her going over tue top Of the
and that was the last of her"
"Well, what did you do then?" asked
HoltOn. "Of course you couldn't live in
5uch house?"
" "Couldu't I though ? said Joe " but
[ did. put a pOultice on the jam Of tho
fireplace, and that drawed t'othcr way;
% We had no more trouble.

Letter from Louisville.


Louisville, Ky,, Jan. 8, 1864.
EDITOR SENTINEL:
If any of your readers have friend in
in the army who has not been heard from
for a long time-who may have been
killed, wounded or taken prisoner, or who
may be sick 10 hospital and un ,ble to
write to his friends-if information 10 re-
gard to said friend is desiTed-by address,
ing letter to S. H. HolbrOok, Esq, Su-
perintendent of the U. S. Hospital Direc-
tory, Louisville, Kentucky, stating the
name of the soldier in full, the company,
and regiment, or corps to which he be-
longs, and where he was when last heard
from, an answer from Mr.. II. may be ez-
pected in a reasonably short time, givingt the
most reliable information in regard to the
soldiers whereabouts and condition. The
Hospital Directory is conducted by the U.
S. Sanitary Commission, and its agents
have facilities for transmitting letters and
and of making personal inqui-
ries in regard to sick and wounded soldiers
whion private individuals have not; besides
reports Of arrivals of sick and wounded
deaths, transfers and all other
changes in the hospitals in every depart
ment Of the West and Southwest, are re-
ceived daily at the Hospital Directory, and
from these reports a complete record is
kept, so that in most instances, an answer
may be given to inquiries by return mail.
The Hospital Directory was established
here in December, 1852, and, although the
great advantages it could afford the soldiers
aud lheirfriends we're made known through
the principal papers throughout the Union,
il seems that comparatively few persons
The Xenia sentinel. [volume] (Xenia [Ohio]) 1863-186?, 1864-01-26

know that there is such an excellent insti-
tuition in existence. Let any one who
knows friend in any hospital west Of Lake
Erie or Western Yirginio, direct a letter
of inquiry as above, and the answer will
prove, satisfactorily, that Mr.. HOlbrook is
posted. All such information is given
without fee. A postage stamp inelosed to
prepay the answer viii not be objection
able, yet VII not bring the answer any
sooner. .s-s1

in the river has interfered with navigation.
The mail boats are not running, and it is
with difficulty and danger that the ferry
boats cross the river to and from Jefer-
sonville, Indiana. 7
Notwithstanding the intense cold, rob

protect citizens from being knocked down
