There are large numbers Of INDECENT
refugees remaining in our city, and
many destitute citizens, who have be.
fore them the gloomy prospect of in
tense suffering, if they remain here
this winter. The prices of clothing,
provisions, fue,, and everything else ne
cessary for the support of human life,
have attained an altitude which rem
ders it impossible for those, in what
might have heretofore been esteemed
easy circumstances, to maintain their
families, without the most pinching
economy With every disposition to
extend the hand of assistance to the
needy, they find themselves unable to
render material aid 1t is upon this
great middle class that the expense of
all our public and private charities have
principally fallen heretofore. The
wealthy, wrapped up in their conceit
and selfimportance, and regarding the
poor as not fit to breathe the air they
do, have never done much, and never
will, unless from the Vainglorious mo-
tive of having their aims published to
the world During the present winter,
therefore, it will be as much as the
really benevolent can do to take care
Of themselves 1t would, then, be bet
ter for all those who have not the
means of subsistence to avail them
selves of the notification of the Mayor
of Nashville, published this morning,
and 60 north where there is peace and
plenty. Our city is too full; aud we
fear if the number of nonproducers is
not greatly lessened, they viii pay
dearly before the blossoms of another
Spring gladden. our vision.

The weather-prophet failed entirely
yesterday. lie had not foreseen q
snow, or warned his disciples to prepare
for the frigid fleece. It came, never
theless, and he houndered in it like a
famished horse in the mire The al
manao man was in predicament but
little better His "look out for fair
weather about the ninth" became a
mockery, and he swore it was not his
fault-that the elements were call out
of joint"
The streets were in fine condition for
sleighing, but we listened, all in vain,
for the Jingle, jingle, of the merry
sleigh-bell" The owners of horseAesh
thought of interest more than pleas
ure The fear Of the military horse
purveyor and his pressing emergency,
made them keep their gallant grays
under cover. The boys, however, had
a good time sliding on the slippery
/ paves, and the fine exercise gave their
cheeks the ruddy glow of health. The
girls stood at the windows of snug
mansions, and witnessed the sport with
evident pleasure. God bless the little
folks-how it delights US to see them
happy

the present state of affairs to gouge the
consumer, but deals fairly and Justly,
desiring to make emily reasonable
profit on his goods. Such a merchant
deserves the favor of the people, and

DR.. cOLEMAN'S
Private DiSpensarY.

While humanity continues to be infrm
snd' man is prone to err, and the conse-
quences are visited upon the unfortunate,
he should early seek relief from the misery
thus entailed. And the man who devotes
his time and talent to the relief of this
species of human suffering is not less a
Philanthropist than he who seeks to relieve
any other affection to which man is subject;
for true philanthropy looks not to what
caused the trouble, but what will cure it.
Dr.. COLEMAN has devoted large portion of
his time to the cure of the class of dis
eases mentioned in his advertisement in
to-day's payer. He has duly qualified
himself by study and experience TO perform
what he promises. He has been located in
our midst for several years, and the testi-
monials OF the press which he has
quoted in his card, are guarantee TO the
afflicted for his skill and aftainments.

The report of the Commissioners Of Po-
lice in New York estimates the population
of that city at LOCO, 900, and Of Brooklyn
at 100000. The Mayors message puts the
population at the same figures above Civ

565,672, or eleven dollars and half to

less than two dollars hundred on the as

$500, 900 annually to clean the streets, and
over one fourth that amount goes for SAL

ImpOrtauce Of Onr CarnIrr.


The Richmond Examiner Of Dseember
81, in a review Of what it calls "the
gloomiest year of our struggle" drops a
remark from which our military authOri-
ties might take valuable hint:
Another daring Yankee raid has been
carried out with comparative impunity to
the invaders, and timOrous capitalists may
well pause before they nibble at eligible
investments in real estate situated far in
the interior That interior has been fear
fully narrowed by the federal march
through Tennessee, and, owing to the de-
fciency Of our cavalry service, Lincoln's
squsdrons Of horse threaten to be as uni
Versal terror, as persuasive q nuisance,
as his squsdrons Of gunboats were soma
months since.'
The more cavalry we have when the
spring campaign opens, the more the reb-
els will be at the mercy Of our armies
The Examiner remarks correctly, that our
cavalry may now do the service our gun.
boats did year ago. But inasmuoh as
the possession Of Savannah and Mobile
would give our gunbosts command of two
rivers which pierce to the heart of the
South, 1t may be that in the spring both
gunDoats and cavalry will beset the reb
els.
Meantime, If we can during the winter
double our effective cavalry force, by
mounting and training infantry, and BY
enforcing suOh regulations in the field as
will prevent hereafter the fritterinp away
of the best part of our cavalry, in the de-
tails for orderlies, &c, it is not too much
to say that the whole southern country
will be, by the means of such troops, un-
der enterprising and capable leaders
thrown open to us. Much hard labor and
much hard fighting may be spared the line
If numerous and active EquadrOns of horse
are kept hanging upon the enemy's TANKS
and rear. The opportunity for this kind
Of work is the greater for the reason that
the rebels are slmost helpless against such
attacks; their cavalry is used up, and
they have not horses enough to keep even
a small effective force in the field. ANY
general Of ours who compels his opponent,
in the next campaign, to abandon railroad
lines, and who then launches against him
