THE SEASON OF BIG FAIRs-BosToS AND
C1ScINNATI TRYING TO BEAT CHIcAGo.-
The present season has witnessed an attempt
on this side of the continent to replenish the
funds of the Sanitary Commission agencies
by means of large Fairs. Chicago started off
with Soldiers Fair, for the benefit of the
Chicago Sanitary Commission, which looks
after Northwestern sick and wounded SOL
diers. The patriotic people of that city inau-
curated varied entertainment, consisting Of
festival, bazaar, Fair, suppers and dinners,
lectures, tableaux, etc. They realized an i'm
mensc sum from donations and received up
wards of S60,000 during the continuance Of
their efforts. Articles left unsold, which
have since been disposed of, and delayed con-
tributions have swelled the net receipts to
sum exceeding 100000. A few days ago
Sanitary Fair for New England was opened
in Boston, and the receipts from all sources,
during the first three days, was nearly 800, 600.
1t is held in the Music Hall, where the new
organ is one of the attractions. New Hamp-
shire and Vermont have departments man.
aged by their own representatives and all the
New England manufacturing corporations
have given liberal contributions. To-day
similar extensive Fair is opened in Cincinna
ii, designed to rival Chicago and Boston.
Special attention has been paid here to gath
ering trophies from the battle-felds and relics
of the war; lectures, tableauX, and eShibi-
tions of various kinds will be incorporated
into the Fair programme. The ARRANGEMENTS
are most complete for realizing at least $780,
600. A combined Fair and festival exhibition
is designed to come off in New York in Feb
ruary which will be on grand scale, and is
intended to eclipse all others. This is a laud-
able enterprise, and among people who have
been steadily giving for two and half years
their generosity is creditable.'

REMOVAL OF GENERAL HALLEcK De-
MANDED.-A pressure has been put on the
President for the removal of General Hal
leck. He is charged with being the dead
weight of the management of the war, accus-
ed Of stupid mismanagement, of being with
out mower to enforce his commands, and a
useless appcndage For all this, it is doubt
full whether the President will remove him.
Though called General-in-Chicf, it seems
that during Hooker's command Of the Army
of the Potomac, he ignored Halleck, and
made his reports direct to the President, so
that Halleck was not his General-in-C Chief
in any event. In other respects, it seems BY
his statements that Burnside failed to exec
cute his orders by moving towards Rose
Grams army prior to the first battle of Chick
amauga and other instances are cited where
his orders were dfsobeycd without bringing
any penalty to the disobedent! This is all
extraordinary circumstance, and quite re-
verses the ordinary understanding OF mill.
tary discipline and the effects Of disobcdience
of orders. Yet it is not doubted the Presi-
dent finds it essential to the unity OF military
operations to have some competent military
director in Washington to issue orders all
around the military chess board F; to reinforce
one point from another when the former is
threatened, and thus preserve an equilibrium
which could be secured in no other manner.
District and department commanders inva-
riably represent the condition Of their OWL
commands as of extraordinary Importance !
and protest vigorously against any removal
Of troops from their Jurisdiction on any pre-
tence. An uuyiclding hand, apprcciating the
necessities Of the situation, is unquestiona-
bly, demanded, and probably Gen. Halleck
has the wi | to insist upon his orders with as
mere than the President himself. As
check on ambitious, reckless generals, he is
also useful in Washington, and, even admit
ting his bulldog pcrtinacity and stupidity, it
is very doubtful If his removal would inn
prove the conduct Of the war.

THE Richmond Examiner has the follow
ing account of the discovery Of female
soldier, a member Of the Sixteenth Maine
regiment, in prison at Richmond: Yester-
day, rather prepossessing looking lass was
discovered on Belle Isle. disguised, among
the prisoners of war held there. She gave
her real name as Mary Jane johnson, be-
longed to the Sixteenth Maine regiment, and
had been prisoner some time. She gave
as al excuse for adopting her soldier tog-
gerry, that she was following her lover, to
shield and protect him when in danger. He
had been killed in battle, and now she would
have no objection to return to the more
peaceful sphere for which nature, by her
sex, had better fitted her. This heroine Of a
novel yet to be written in Yankeedom, was
considerably sun-burned and roughened by
the hardships she had encountered, but still
retained marks of some womanly comeli-
ness, which would be heightened by cali
co frock and crinoline. Upon the discovery
Of her sex, Miss Johnson was removed from
Belle Isle, and is now confined at Castle
Thunder. She will probably 60 North by the
next flag of truce. She is about nineteen
years Of age"

TERRIBLE Academia correspondent
of the Marysville Express, writing from Plu-
mas county, has the following: At Sawpit
Flat, Plumas county, January 2Sth, Miss
Mary A. Wheeler, daughter Of james and
Sarah A. Wheeler, aged fifteen years and
five months, was instantly killed under the
following painful circumstances Two sisters,
Mary and Elizabeth Wheeler, the latter aged
about thirteen years, and Margaret Kay,
about the same age, in company with young
man went into the Franklin Tunnel to have
n ride in the cars. The car coming out with
considerable force, ran on TO the dump where
it was forty feet high, when the young man,
in attempting to stop the car, upset it, throw
ing Mary Wheeler and Margaret Kay out.
The former struck head first on some tim
bers below, and was instantly killed, while
the latter got one foot entangled in the hoops
of Elizabeth Wheeler, who still held on to
the car, and was suspended to single steel
hoop until rescued BY the young man, who
had hold Of the car. This unfortunate family
(the Wheelers) buried daughter about
eleven years old on New Years day. The
scene that presented itself under that dump,
where the grief-stricken mother knelt by the
corpse Of her frst-born, beggars all descrip-
ton,

what are called starvation parties" at which
people meet in each others houses and have
singing and dancing, but nothing to eat or

twice a week, and she ayers that they have a
great deal of fun but no supper. She speaks

THE people of the town of Churchvillc,
New York, have had sensation. There
lately came there a Reverend bachelor Of
forty-fve, hailing from North Carolina, who
was received cordially and preached in the
pulpits of the place. One day he unaccount-
ably marched into the postmaster's sanctum
and began overhauling letters, refusing to de-
sist till the deputy postmaster attacked and
kicked him. The official then locked him in
and called the postmaster, who released the
prisoner. The minister had the assailant ar
rested, but he was discharged, and then
threatened the prosecutor with arrest unless
he should leave town in twenty-four hours.

Incidents before CharIest0n-..IIow

A New York Tribune letter from Morris
Island, dated December 18th, says:
"on Saturday night, during the storm, d
wooden concern, SO BY 80 feet; double planks
on the bottom and sides; strengthened inside
by beams foot square, was washed ashore
on this island, one mile from Lighthouse In:
let. The general inquiry is What rs it !"
Gen. Turner, the able Chief of Artillery
gave it as his opinion that it was formerly a
rebel floating battery, as it evidently shows
siens where guns have been mounted, but Of
late has been used as an obstruction to the
harbor, as very large stones are still in it,
which seems to justify that belief;
"Durfng the past week shells have bectt
thrown into the city of Charleston at the rate
of twenty per day: The shelling does not
take place at the same time each day. At

THE DRoUrH.-Farming prospects are
exceedingly gloomy. The extraordinary
drouth continues. We have had but two
falls of rain during the season: the frst-a
heavy one-occurred in the month of No
velnber, succeeded by many weeks Of dry,
cloudless weather. A month ago We were
favored with less copious fall Of rain, and
since then it has been dry and warm. The
streets are dusty, and nothing grows for want
Of the needed moisture. This has certainly
been the dryest and warmest winter we have
experienced in California during residence
of eleven years. No snow has been seen on
the surrounding mountain tops. There will
be much suffering unless the rains come
soon and copiously.-!San Jose Patriot, Jan.
