The ladies have now had two meetings to
consider the matter of holding Fair for
the benefit of st. Francis Hospital, and are
happy to report that the Fair is to be held
in the second week of January, and they
have now fully entered upon the business,
and are glad to say that they are meeting
with very satisfactory success in the way
of collecting funds, enlisting the services of
great number of the ladies, and having
the promise of many donations of useful
ticles, &c. They have elected the neces-
sary officers, and willnow devote the neccs-
sary time to it, and respectfully ask the
gentlemen to be prepared to contribute
literally when called upon, for they are de-
termined to make the Fair success.

st. Francis Hospital.

Several ladies of the city have decided to
hold Fair for the benefit of st. Francis
Hospital, which is in need of funds.
This Hospital, in charge of the Sisters of
the Poor of st. Francis, has been in opera
ton nearly three years, and has afforded
gratuitous relief to some three hundred
poor and homeless sick.
The need of such an institution in Colum-
bus is definitely settled by the fact that the
Hospital is constantly full, and the Sisters,
to their regret are obliged daily to turn
away those who seek relief at their hands.
From our knowledge of the hospital, and
those who have it in charge, we are certain
that the sick are faithfully nursed, without
question whence they come or to what de-
nomination they may happen to belong.
We, therefore, beg leave to commend the
object of the proposed Fair to our citizens,
and to express hope that it will receive
liberal support. S. M. SMITH,

Early's army in front of Sheridan's lines on
the 18th inst, Stand and II the 3. sudden % flight with
occasion as our correspondent gave at the
time. Early had understood that consid-

was glad to get back up the valley as ex-
peditiously as possible. eag
The Richmond Wing says there are now
only about four thousand Yankee troops at

The BENEFIT OF INsURING AGAINST AC-
cIDENTs.-We notice by our exchanges that
Gen. Strader of Cincinnati, who had been
attending "a business meeting in this
city, had the misfortune to break his leg
just above the ancle while attempting to
stop a horse that was on the eve of running
away, and we further notice that he was in
sured In the Travellers Insurance Company,
of Hartford, Conn, for $4,000 and S25 per
week for compensation whilst unable to at
tend to business himself. We draw atten-
ton to the above to show the benefits to be
derived in case of accident happening to
person whose circumstances can i'll allow
him to be confined by o broken limb or
other injuries, resulting from such accident.
In this case the circumstances of the party
did not necessitate the taking out of a pol
icy, the General being very well of, but
with majority Of the persons in the same
business thereceipt of $25 per week, whilst
laid up would be very acceptable for doc
'ter's bills and other little matters; and for
the benefit of those and other persons, par
ticularly those on railways, we give pub
licity to the paragraph, at the same time
stating that any person holding general
accident policy is insured against all acci-
dents, whether occurring on railways or
elsewhere.
The Agent for this city is Joseph Dow
dali, whose Office is No. 5, second story,

Rebel Victory.

Rebel Victory.
New YORK, Nov. 2S.-Notwithstandin
the anxiety Enthusiastically evinced by the
rebel authorities and newspapers of Rich
mond to conceal advices of Sherman's
movements, they cannot avoid disclosing
greatdeal in regard to them, but probably
not half they know. We have all they
were willing to tell up to last Friday. An
engagement, the Richmond papers say, oc-
CURED last Wednesday on the west side of
the Oconee river, near Toombsboro, where
the Central Georgia railroad crosses the
river, between the rebels and large force
of Sherman's cavalry, In which, of course,
the Union troops were repulsed. They are
said to have been still on the west side of
the OconeeOn the following day. The Au-
gusta COnstitutionalist says the railroad
bridge over the river was burned by them
on last Sunday.
The report of the burning of Milledge-
vile is said by the Richmond editors to lack
confirmation, though it Is believed that a
portion of Sherman's forces has been there;
but in the Savannah News of the 23d inst,
dispatch reiterates that it was captured
on last Monday, and that the State House,
Governors mansion and Penitenitary there
were burned, and that the town of Gordon
was also captured by the Yankees.
The Governors of South Carolina and
Georgia have issued a proclamation calling
out all the males Of these States between
sixteen and fifty-fve.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch says the Yankee Government can
well afford to pay one million dollars day
for the information the Richmond papers
furnish to it gratis, regarding the move
ments of Sherman in Georgia.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The Posts Wash
ington special states: Richmond papers of
Saturday suppress the latest news from
Georgia, but there are indications that
Sherman is still successful. A special mes
senger Just arrived here from Savannah re-
ports that no doubt exists of Shermans
success. A fleet is ready to cooperate with
Sherman on the sea coast of Georgia.

The Cabinet Changes.

New YORK, Nov. 2S.-The Tribune's
Washington special says Solicitor Whiting
and Judge Lewis are spoken of as Attorney
General Bates successor. The Times spe-
cial says Judge Advocate Holt stands the
best chance. Mr.. Lincoln will not hear OF
Stanton''s leaving the War Department. So
the Butler speculations amount to nothing.
Judge Davis, of Illinois, will certainly be
Chief Justice, and Judge Usher will take
Davis place.
Our military authorities are in the high
est spirits at the general situation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The Evening
Star, the mail steamer which arrived here
to-day, reports that yesterday morning
heavy cannonading was heard at City Point
from the direction of Petersburg; but this
is of frequent occurrence, and was occa-
stoned by the usual artillery dueling.
On Wednesday night last the rebels made
a sudden attack on our pickets near Broad

was speedily repulsed. During the rain
and darkness of the night the rebels gob-
bled up Colonel and forty men.

Generals Butler and Schenck, and Admiral
Porter were on board the Greyhound, but
the steamer Pioneer came and took them
off. Gen. Butler and his friends were at
dinner at the time. Suddenly the furnace
doors blew open and scattered the
Goals all over the floor, driving the firemen
and engineers from their rooms. The Grey

in flames, and notwithstanding every effort
to save her, she was burned to the waters

before the accident the Greyhound had re-
ceived from the steamer Cossack the army
mail for Gen. Buffers department which
left Washington yesterday morning, and it
is supposed to be lost.
The Webster brought up fifty-nine rebel
prisoners.
One or more of to-day's newspapers er-
roneously attributed to the Washington
reporter of the Associated Press a telegram
saying the pirate Florida and crew are to
be returned to Brazil, and purporting to
give an account of the action of the Gov
ernment on the subject. 1t is sufficient at
present to say on authority that their state
ments are without foundation.

WHY THERE ARE NO DEMOCRATIC VOTES
FROM THE 18th o. y.I.-The greater por-
tion of the 46th o. V. /. were raised in this
county. The number of votes for Presi-
dent retu ned from this regiment, is twen-
ty-feven all told-all of which were cast
for Lincoln. Not a single Democratic vote
was returned or counted. Why is this?-
We learn from credible source that on
the day of the election, the regiment was
furnished with q superabundance of Lin
coin tickets; but not one Democratic ticket
was to be found, though plenty of these
had been forwarded in due season. The
Democratic soldiers in the regiment, seeing
that they were likely to be cheated out of
their votes, wrote out their tickets for
Presidential electors, and deposited them
In the ballot-boX. But no return has been
made of them. Thus it is, that our sol
diers are swindled out of their votes.

New RAILROAD DEPOT IN THIS CITY,
We learn that the Board of Directors of the
Cleveland and Columbus, and the Columbus
and Cincinnati and Xenia railroads, ,at their
meeting last week resolved to build new
and spacious passenger depot in this city,
for the accommodation of their extensive
and increasing business. To show that they
were in earnest in the matter, they made a
liberal appropriation to commence the
work Immediately on the opening of spring.
The old depot has long been disgrace to
the city and the wealthy and prosperous
companies interested in it. The new struc-
ture, it is stated, will be about hundred
yards north of the present one, and near
the round house.

this result, because we are satisfied that the

ther, from doing anything of the kind
charged, than those who instigated the
prosecution.
