hospitality of Edward s. Tobey. ESQ. a
large number of our citizens were ena-

learning on Thursday that the General
would pass through the city, invited to
meet some of his friends and fellow cit
izens at his house in Chestnut street :
Although the invitations were necessari-
ly given at late hour, a large company
assembled, representing our most prom
lnent and influential citizens.
We need hardly say that Mai. General
Howard was warmly greeted. From
the day when he marched his regiment,
one of the first from the state of Maine,
through Boston to the seat of war, his
career has been watched here with
scarcely less interest than in his native
state. Christian warrior and gentle
man, he has won the respect, esteem and
confidence of all, not only by his gall
lantIy and distinguished services in
the field, but by his good example and
influence and his answering patriotism.
zen. Howard, we understand will leave
this morning for Chattanooga, where

a1R- The Rutland Herald in comment
ing on our article upon the call for the
coming Convention in this County, says
that mayor Bigelow should be invited
TO attend. He could at least be present
in spirit, and could inclose to the Con-
vention that very sensible portion of
his late message, which declares posi-
lively that the prohibitory law cannot
be enforced" Did we not know that
the acting editor of the Herald was
total abstinence man, we should be of
the opinion that he had several grown
persons drinks concealed about his per.
son" when he penned the above. The
name of the Mayor Of Boston is Lincoln,
not "Bigelow. Burlington Times,
We are afflicted with constitutional
forgetfulness and heedlessness about
names, After we had left the Office, and
retired to rest we happened to think
that we had written "Bigelow" instead
of 'Lincoln." We cannot account for
the inaccuracy except that Boston once
had a Mayor Bigelow, whose permit we
had occasion to obtain, in order to visit
some of the Institutions and also
that the editor of the Times himself
bears that honored name. We had half
mind to get right up, have the form
unlocked, and the correction made; but
finally concluded to "let it Slide" and
see If any body would notice the differ
ence. Behold the result With the sin
gle exception Of your humble servant,
you don't catch editors mapping.
AS to the effect which several grown
persons drinks concealed about ones
person. may have in confounding names,
we have to confess that we are igno-
rant, We dare say it may be just as the
we'll Informed editor of the Times has
intimated.

for our yesterday mornings issue.
CAIRO, Feb Ia.
The steamer Platteyille has returned

ana the other transports and gunboats
with Porter and Sherman's expedition
were attacked on the 9TH inst. by n force
OF three thousand Texans, who with ar
tlllery and musketry fired into the trans
ports, wounding six soldiers. A fight
ensued in which portion of our infant
ry and the gunboats participated and
which resulted in the dislodgement and
the driving of the enemy, with what loss
is unknown. Eight OF our men we've
Killed and thirty wounded. The Eley-
enth Illinois volunteers with negro cav
airy and infantry were engaged in the
AFFAIR. The enemy were also driven from
Mechanicsville without loss to us.
A sick negro soldier belonging to Col.
woods command, who had struggled
irom his regiment, was captured by the
rebels and murdered. A Lieutenant and
two privates who bad committed the
deed were captured, and Col Wood in re-
tahatfon had them blindfolded and
caused them to kneel on the dead BODY
OF the negro they had murdered, when
they We're shot.

The President has issued call for five

expects a patriotic response to the call
before the 10th of next month, and will

and Judge Brigham ordered that the
same be certified up to the Supreme

EAST TENNEssER.-The following is
from a dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga
zette, dated Nashville, Feb. TO-
Persons from Knoxville report COM
munication with Cumberland Gap cut
of. Tazewell is said to be in possession
of the enemy. The garrison retreated
With four pieces of artillery to Cumber-
land Gap. Nearly all East Tennessee is
in possession Of the rebels. This need
elicit no apprehension; it would take
$4,000 men to capture Knoxville and our
army. No siege will be attempted
ten. Grant can reinforce the garrison
with 10000 men, in fifty hours. One
division of the army of the Cumberland
is within sound of the cannon of Knox
vile garrison Another division could
march to its relief in twenty-four hours.
The river between Chattanooga and Lou
don is low; boats have stuck Often
The distance between Chattanooga and
Knoxville has been made in twenty-four
hours and half. The railroad will be
in running order in few days. The
distance is ninety miles between Chat
tanooga and Knoxville. The only seri-
GUS break will be Tunnel Bridge at Lou
don, length of LOO feet, which will be
built in ninety days"
The route from Kentucky through the
Cumberland Gap to Knoxville, is now of
little or no Importance to the Union
army. As we stated in the HERALD two
or three weeks ago, Gen. Grant has aban-
doned this route, and intends to forward
his supplies by way of the Nashville and
Stevenson Railroad and the Tennessee
River.
