THE EYE AND EAR-pcrsons suffering
from diseases Of the Eye and Ear. should
avail themselves of the opportunity of con
suting Dr.. Gardner, the eminent and skill
ful Oculist and Aurist, who can be consult
cd dali. at the Burtis House. The DR..
comes to us highly recommended. therefore
we have no hesitation in recommending him
to the confidence of the afflicted. The James
vile Wis. Ga-etfc says:
The testimonials which Dir. Gardner pre-
sents to the public, could never have been
obtained except by the display Of great skill
and learning in his profession. One thing
especially commcndible in the Doctors prac-
ticc, is that he will not attempt an ncurahle
disease for the sake of fee, but frankly
tells the patient whether he can be cured or
not. We cheerfully recommend the Doctor
to the attention of all our friends who NAV
be suffering from diseases of the Eye or
Ear.
For further particulars, references, testi-
monials, &c, send for one Of his circulars.

together in that last hour, and the two
men wept like children. And at last the
NOrtherner spoke, talking more to himself
than any one else, and he did not know
that the other was listening greedily to
every word.
"She used to come-.my little girl
bless her heart LIVERY night to meet me
when came home from the fields and
she would stand under the great plum
tree, that's just beyond the back door at
home, with the sunlight making yellow
brown in her golden curls, and the laugh
dancing in her eyes when she heard the
click of the gate 81 see her now-and
I'd take her in my arms, and she'd put up
her little red lips for kiss; but my little
girl will never watch under the old plum
tree by the well for her father again. l
shall never hear the cry of joy as she
catches glimpse of me at the gate. l
shall never see her little feet running over
the grass to spring into my arms again !"
"And then," said the Southerner,
"theres little brown.eyed, brown
haired girl, that used to watch in the cool
afternoons for her father when he rode in
from his visit to the plantations. can
see her sweet little face shining out from
the roses that covered the pillars, and hear
her shout of joy as I bounded from my
horse and chased the little flying feet and
the fond laugh up and down the verandah.
But, my darling, your bright little face
will grow pale with watching among the
roses for your father; and you will never
go laughing and romping up and down the
old verandah again."
And the Northerner drew near to the
Southerner, and the hot tears stood on his
cold cheeks, as he said, 'Friend, may God
have pity on our fatherless children"
"Amen!" said the Southerner, fer
vently.
And the Northerner spoke now, in a
husky whisper, for the eyes of the dying
men were glazing fast-"We have fought
like brave men together. We are going
before God in little while. Let us for
give each other"
The SOutherner tried to speak, but the
sound died away ina girgle from his white
lips; but he took the hand of his fallen
foe, and his stiffening fingers closed tight
over it, and his last look was smile of
forgiveness and peace. And when the
next mornings sun walked up the grey
stairs of the dawn, touched with pink, it
looked down and saw the two foes lying
dead, with their hands clasped in each
other, by the stream which ran close to
the battlefield. And the little girl with
golden hair that watched under the plum
tree among the hills of New Hampshire,
and the little girl with light brown hair
that waited by the roses among the green
plains of Georgia were fatherless.-Home

WASHINGTON NEWS.
man--Financial Affairs. II Osecrans
Takes the Place of SchOf1eld-.
Butler i'm Trouble again-- HIS Pow.
ers Enlarged.
BY TELEGRAPH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Maior Generals
Butler and Burnside are among the latest
distinguished arrivals.
Brig. Gen. Garrard has been ordered
to take charge of the cavalry bureau,
thus relieving General Stoneman.
A large installment of five per cent.
Treasury notes were sent forward to-day.
To the assessed banks of Boston, Phil
adelphia and New York $4,000, 900 have
been distributed pro rata. Nearly $780,
900 more are packed ready for Transport
tation, and large additional amount will
be sent to the banks tomorrow. There
has been total Misrepresentation in GER
tain quarters as to the recent arrangement
of the negotiation $35, 100000 through
the subscription agency and national banks.
The $5O,OOO,OOO taken by the assessed
banks were first to be delivered to them.
No commission was paid for placing them
in either case.
tbs understood to be definitely arranged
that Rosecrans is to take the place of
Schoield in the Department of Missouri.
Maj. General Stoneman has been reliev-
ed from the command of the cavalry bri-
gade and assigned to duty as Chief of
Cavalry at the West, whittier he proceed
ed at once.
Maj. General Butler arrived in town to-
Gay from Point Lookout, where he was
met by a dispatch from the President.
He has had a long conversation with Mr..
Lincoln to-day upon matters pertaining to
his Department, and on the subject of ex-
changes, and pardoning of those rebel
prisoners at Point Lookout who have ex-
pressed their willingness to take the oath
of allegiance.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 Times dis
patch. Our Government will not permit
Gen. Butler to be outlawed by Benjamin.
The exchange of prisoners committed to
him will be left in his hands. Secretary
Stanton has to-day enlarged Gen. Buffers
powers by putting all the rebel prisoners
in the United States under his care.
There will be 10000 at Point Lookout in
three weeks.
The policy is resolutely insisted on that
all exchanges shall take place through
Gen. Butler, and none except through
him. JEFF. Davis was in favor of recog-
nizing him, q Ould had already done.
Benjamin wrote the proclamation outlaw
ing Butler. Mr.. Lincoln's last proclama-
ton outlawed the whole Richmond Gov
eminent, and through this equality in dis
ability there is no doubt tlat exchanges
will be re-established.
Gen. Stoneman has been assigned as
Gen. Grants Chief Of Cavalry.
Maj. Garrard, a cavalry officer of the
southwest, replaces Stoneman here. Lieut..
Col. Elgin has been made Chief Quarter
master of the cavalry forces, vice Sawtell.

THE WAR In VIRGINIA,
Rebel Operations in the Shenandoah
Valley Exaggerated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The rumors of
the enemy's designated operations in the
Shenandoah Valley are exaggerated. Fitz
Hugh Lees cavalry, perhaps ], ZOO strong,
supported by Early, three negro brigades
on foot with Imboden and other local
leaders with detachments, numbering all
told 5000 or 1000 men, are near Wood
stock and Mount Jackson and make an oc-
casional dash as far north as Winchester.
The latest indications point to the More
field Valley, if not west of Mount Jackson,
as the scene of their operations. Ger
tainly they have not appeared as yet in
sight of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
the trains Of which are running regularly
and successfully with large quantities of
freight and many passengers. The great
est evidence of official confidence in the
safety of the route is the sending of i'm
pOrtant detachments over it.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "A dispatch re-
ceived here from a reliable source states
that the rebel Gen. Early with three brig
AIDES of Ewell's corps, perhaps 5000 in
all, besides the forces of Imboden, Nc
Neil and other rebel leaders, and also Fitz
Hugh Lees cavalry, are in the Shenan-
doah Valley and west of it towards Peters,
burgh. Brig. Gen. Sullivan and General
Averill, under command of Gen. Kelly,
are in good force and wide awake.

bound out to sea, and, chase being imme-
diately commenced, after a few shots she

FROM CAIRO AND BELOW.
Mercury 10 below at Memphis and
IL below at CafrO..SOldfers and
Ntggers Frozen to Death..Large
Arrivals of Cotton and Sugar.

CAIRO, Jan. 4.-The steamer Duke of
Argyle has arrived from New Orleans, and
the Hillman has arrived from Memphis.
The thermometer was 10 deg. below
zero at Memphis on the morning of the
LIST and at Cairo the came morning it was
16 deg. below. A number of persons
were found frozen to death below Cairo
on New Years eve. Ten negro soldiers
persisted at Island No. 10. The bodies of
three members of the SD Indiana regi.
ment we're found on a sand bar in the
river six miles above Fort Pillow. One
of them was Lieut.. Edward Alexander.
The railroad trains have not been running
on the Illinois Central since, on account
of the cold weather.
To-day the weather has moderated
somewhat, but it is still showing with
about four inches on the ground. Boats
still 60 up the Ohio, out of which large
quantities of ice are running, but the
Mississippi is closed.
No serious damage was done the Men,
phis and Charleston railroad by Forrest,
when his force crossed it last week. Gen.
Greirson was pursuing him at last ac-
counts south of Ooldwater. Lee rein
forced Forrest from Oklahoma. The que
rilla General Richardson crossed our
lines on the 2Sth ult., on his way south.
All is quiet in the interior of the State
since his departure. A large amount of
cotton, sugar and molasses arrived here
the last week, mostly for Cincinnati.
The Duke of Argyle brought 2S6 bales
of cot on, 4SS hogsheads of sugar, and
800 barrels of molasses from New Orleans.
The Hillman brought 2S5 bales of cotton.
Generals Ord, Victh, Hunter, Sawyer and
Sherman have been here during the past
week, and the latter is still here. There
was supper here last night in honor Of
his arrival.

FROM CINCINNATI.
Organization of Ohio LeSfslature...
Gov. TOd's Message...River Full
of Ice.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 5.-The Ohio Legisla-
ture organized yesterday. J. R. Hubbell
was elected Speaker OF the House, and
VIM. E. Davis Clerk of the Senate.
Gov. Tods message is very brief. The
financial affairs of the State were never in
better condition. The public debt has
been reduced to $676,OOO. The militia
system adopted by the Legislature last
winter has proved a success. He recon-
mends that the banking corporations now
existing under State authority be given all
reasonable facilities for closing their bu-
siness. He says the escape of Gen. John
Morgan through negligence, arose from a
misund. rstanding between the military and
civil authorities at the penitentiary, of their
respective duties. He calls attention to
the bravery and gallantry of our soldiers
"a the field, and says, "Although wicked
rebellion still continues, we can justly claim
for Ohio full performance Of duties in
the effort to crush the rebellion. The
number of troops raised since the begin
ming of the war is 2OO,671."
The river here is full of floating ice, and
navigation is suspended.
The headquarters of the Department of
Ohio will be removed to- Lexington, KY,
tomorrow.

Boston, Jan. "a severe snow storm
has been raging here since Thursday, the
wind blowing gale from the west. The
water in the lower part of the city is the
highest that has been known for q wear.
BUFFALO, Jan. 1.-Two hundred feet of
the Niagara Falls road near this city has
been washed away. No cars have lett the
depot here since Thursday. Trains how
ever are running from Black Rock to Sus-
pension bridge.
Business in the city is almost entirely

NEW YORK mAYORALTY.

New YORK, Jan. Mayor Gunther
assumed the duties of his office to-day, de-
livering long message, on the retiring of
ex-Mayor Opdyke. He was escorted by
committee Of prominent citizens with
band of music to neighboring hotel,
where an address was delivered and fes-
tivities INDUCED in.
1t appears by Mayor Gunther's address
that the city debt is $40, 900, 900, proba-
bly, arising from the fact, as stated in his
address, that the system of local govern
ment is not acting in that simplicity so
necessary to economy and efficiency, and
that the subdivision of functions and the
want of responsibility has led to the extra
vagance and multiplication of offices.
