WINTER,-During the past week we have
had severe indications of the presence
of winter. The heavy fall of snow
capped the climax, and gave to the
surrounding country the appearance of mid
Winter. A general inclination to "slide'
seemed to possess all foot passengers yes
terday, and it was with difficulty that the
inclination was resisted. The feet evlnced
an almost irresistible desire to assume an
equally elevated position with the head, or
bring that down to their own level, and
everybody walked as if they feared break
ing through, or waking somebody up.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Rumors of the
enemy's designs and operations in the She
nandoah Valley are exaggerated. Fitzhugh
Lees cavalry, perhaps 1000 strong, sup
ported by Early's three meagre brigades
on foot, with Imboden and other local
leaders with detachments, numbering, all
told, 5000 or 1000 men, are near Wood
stock and Mt Jackson and they make an
occasional dash az far north as Winchester.
The latest indications point to the Moore
field Valley if not west of the mountains
as their scene of operations, certainly they
have not appeared as yet in sight of the
Bait. & Ohio Railroad, the trains of which
are running regularly and successfully, with
large quantities of freight and many pas
sengers The best evidence of official
confidence in the security of the route IS
the sending of important detachments
over it.
Major Generals Butler and Burnside are
among the latest distinguished arrivals
here.
Brig. Gen. Garrard has been ordered to
take charge of the cavalry bureau, thus re

THE BRUTAL TREATMENT of our prisoners
by the rebels is daily heralded forth by de-
signing editors and politicians. Almost ev'
cry day we read accounts Of the outrages
and hardships to which our brave boys are
subjected. We have no doubt some of the
stories are true, and that our soldiers often
90 without enough to eat, but when such
things occur, they are frequently brought
about by actual necessity, and the rebels
are compelled to undergo the same trials.
A letter from First Virginia boy who
has escaped from Richmond says: "Our
fare was rough, and often we did not get as
much as we wanted but we received the
same, both as to quantity and quality as the
rebels gave their own men," When such
hardships cannot be remedied, and the cap
tors share the same fate as the captives, we
say they should be overlooked, and receive
our sympathy.
But when prisoners are subjected to I'M
necessary hardships, those who are to blame
should meet the hearty censure of every
man who has a heart large enough to feel
for the unfortunate.
A day or two since about seventy five
rebel prisoners were taken from this city to
Camp Chase. Notwithstanding the wealth
er was cold and severe, and the keen win
ter blasts made those who were well cloth
ed and covered with blankets, feel its chill
ing effects, these poor prisoners, who had
neither overcoat nor blanket, were compell-
ed to walk four miles over level country.
The result was that when theyireached the
prison one-half OF them were nearly frozen
to death. Many of them will lose the use
of their arms or limbs, and thus rendered
,cripples for life
True, the men were sent to Camp Chase
and it was the duty of the officer in charge
to take them there, but could he not
have delayed the walk day or two. or pro-
cured the prisoners blankets or overcoats?
Such course would not only have been hu
man, but would have been sanctioned by
every sensible man in the land.

that the city debt is $20,000,O0O, probably
arising from the fact, as stated in the ad.

is lacking in that simplicity SO necessary to
economy and efficiency, and the subdivision
of functions and the want of responsibility
has led to extravaganza and multiplication
of offices.
