missiou--Dear Sir: We came down fromBAl-
rimore last evening 10 company with six
ether delegates, mostly students from the
college 1T Carlis g, PsnRsylvanis. Seven
O'Clock this morning found US at Fortress
Monroe in q drinking rain. We went,
after presenting ourselves ct the Provost
Marshars office and taking the oath, di-
rectIy to the Commissioners headquarters,
where We found Brothers Hawks and
Crock T. They had just returned from
White House, and Mr. Crocker is Ding up
to Bermuda Hundred, where it 10 thought
that he can be specially useful. We had
but little time to see them, and after com
pletlng our outfit, left about eleven o'clock
IN the Government Mail boat for this place,
which we reached steigkt T. NJ. The del
egates from the headquarters Of the Com
mission met US, expressing great satiSfso.
tiou of the accession Of ten more working
men, for that was the number on our boat.
They advised nostof us 70 remsin on the
boat tonight, ,as tn . Christisn COmmission's
tents we're crowded. They took Dr. CGshing
ashore IS surgical help is in great demand,
and q train Of badly wounded Is
expected in every hour. We know less and
less Of the particulars and results OF what
is going on here than you do, and get all
our reliable information from the New
York papers. gather from the delegates
that there has been heavy Sighting for Two
dsys psst, which did not continue to day,
owing probably to the rain this morning
Considerable numbers Of prisoners have
came in, and We passed boat loads Of them
going down the river to-day. The spirit
Of the troops Is good and the general i'm
preston is hat all il going on fsVOrsbly.

DEAFNESS, CATARRH,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE
EAR, THROAT AND AIR PAssAG E5
From the Home journal, june 4, 1854.

From the Home Journal, June 4, 1854.
In every business or profession, indeed in ev-
cry department of science or skill. there is al
ways some acknowledged head-some one who
stands out in bold relief among his fellows, as q
sort of leader in the study and treatment Of
deafness and oatarrh, as special diseases. Dr.
Z. B. LIGHTHILL, of this City, occupies just
the position above described. He has devoted
years ofIabor 20 this speciality, and is now reap
ing the reward of his industry The editorial
columns Of the Tribune, of late date, bear wit
ness to the doctors success in this department
of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
CURE OF A DEAF MUrE.-Louis LoeWein-
STEM lad IA years of age, born in Germany,
came to this city when he was about two years
old. Soon after his arrival here he was taken
sick and ost his hearing. By degrees he became
first deaf and then dumb. For arly ten years
he was q mute unable to hear the lOHdest voice,
or 10 RtEcuste a word. About one year
ego be was placed by his parents in
the hands of DR. LIGHTHILL, who has so far
succeeded IN restoring 70 him his lost poS eTs Of
hearing and utteranee that he can converse with
tho g who 81 eak t. hun distinctly and dellber-
a'ely. Dur 'ng the past four or dve months he
has been under the tuition OF Mr.. BennecEe, and
has made considerable progress in reading and
aTithemetic."
Having been supplied with the lads address
We further investigated the matter, and disoOv-
cred that, previous to calling on DR.. LighthiIl,
the youths case was considered hopeless, and
he was for two years an inmate of the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum. The Rev John Mott, D. D., Pro-
fessor in Union College, Schenectady, in pu7
lishsd letter, tenders his gratitude to pr. Light
hill, for treating successfully his case of desf-
ness. Rev. Fred. 9. Jewell, Professor OF the
State Normal School at Albany, also testihes to
having been cured Of catarrh. DR.. LighthI
possesses other written testimonials and tn
butes 10 his talent from some OF our weslthiest
and most prominent ana respected citizens,
which may be seen on application. It would be
difficult to speak in any but terms of praise of
his treatment, in the face of these many proofs
and facts testifying to his success.

When the late and lamented Colonel
Dshlgren was killed and his body brutslIy
disGguIed aud buried like a dog by the
rebels, the Richmond authorities claimed
to haVs found on his person document
purpOrting to give instructions to his men
to kill all who came in their way, and
especially to kill JEFF. Davis and all tbs
members of his bogus csbinet, in case
they got into Riohmopd.
The Richmond papers made most trs-
msndous howl over the b. utsl and fend.
ish" instructions, and called upon the
Government to wresk dire vengeance upon
ths Yankees. SIS. The rebel government,
for the purpose Of creating foreign di.
version in favor Of the COnfederssy, had
photographed copies Of the instructions
sent over to Europe for the purpose Of
proving the existence Of such "dendish
instrqStiops"
The friends Of pshlgreA denied the ex-
istepce Of such instructions, and declar-
ed the document purpOrtIng to be such,
Was forged by the rebels themselves.
Fortunately, the rebels, IL their anxiety to
make out g esse Of brutality sgainst the
Federal Government, made a mistake in
spelling Dahlgrsn's name, thereby show
ing the forged OhsrSOter Of the document.
In the photographed copies the name was
spsllsd "Dalghren" instead Of "D hIgren," :"
the 4h" and 81" being trAnspOsed. IS no
msn would misspsll his own name, this
dieboliOal forgery is thus made transps-
rent.
