Our exchanges tell US that the people Of
Northern Ohio and Western Pennsylvanis,
are alive to the coming Fair. Every town
sad village throughout this region is
aroused to the importance of this work
This is right; we thank you al, in be-
half Of the soldiers and the noble men and
women in the city who are busy night and
day in preparation for this great event.
It promises to be one of the most magni-
hoent demonstrations Of patriotism Of our
good loyal Yankees on the Reserve, ever
known in their history.
Send in everything you can, but espe-
Oially remember how many thousands are
to be fed each day.
We have question to ask ? The rail-
roads appropriated, If we are correctly in
formed, the proceeds Of their special trains
to the Cincinnati Fair. The railroads en-.
teFing Cleveland should do likewise. If
they will, let the public know it soon, as
that fact will add largely to the attend
anoe. All Of US must give heartily and
literally. What will cur Railroads do?

ANNA MARIA STEVENS, youngest daughter Of P.
Stevens, Esq, of this city.
Funeral from the residence Of her brother No. l35
St. CIair-St, this Tuesday, afternoon at O'Clock.
Just before her death she said, promise to lay
beside ny mother and then will 60 to sleep"
THE YOUNG SLEEPER.
She sleeps, but the soft breath
No longer stiTs her COLLEEN hair,
The robber hand OF death
Has stolen thitheT unaware;
The lovely edihce
Is still as beautiful and fair,
But mOurnfully miss
The gentle habitant that sojouInsd there.
With stealthy pace he crept
To the chamber where IL lay,
That angel thing-and slept,
And whispered IL to come away;
He broke the fairy iute
That light with laughter used to play
Ana left all dull and mute
The silver strings that tinkled forth go gay.
Then with his fingers cold
He shut the glancing windows toll
With fringe Of Looping gold
He darkened the small panes Of blue;
Sheer from tho marble floor
He swept the flowers Of crimson hue;
He CLOSED the ivory door.
And Ger the porch the dsrkened eurtafas drew
An Angel guest is gone
Upon the spoilers DIRK wing borne;
The road she journeys
Wend5 evermOre without return,
To ruin and decay
For the suns early ray
Upon its walls and windows shall not play
Nor light its golden roof tomorrow morn.
January 5Oth, of Inflammation Of the lungs, CAR
BE THO MPSON, daughter OF W j. Thompson, aged
2 years and months.

DC. Parsons, RepIy @ the Grand Jurr.


Mr.. Parsons Reply TO tbs Grand Jury.
We lay before cur readers this morning
the reply of Mr.. Parsons, United States
Collector Of this city, to the report of the
Grand Jury.
Mr.. Parsons claims that the acts which
have come under the condemnation Of the
Grand Jury, we're done under the direct
sanction Of the department and in accOr-
dance with full and complete instructions.
This statement if correct should ex-
onerste Mr.. Parsons Of all charges. The
whole matter seems to have been one of
pure misconceptiOn on the part Of the
Grand Jury. The Grand Jury's report
was to have been published yesterday
morning, but was placed in the compost.
tors hands too late. We regrest cur ina.
bilitY to publish more than the reply Of
Mr.. Parsons this morning.

HUNTSVILLE, ALA January 81.
A man has just arrived here from Chst-
tsnooga. Before leaving, General Palmer
had returned from reconnaissance to
RinggoId and Dalton. The main force Of
the enemy had undoubtedly left, General
Palmer thought toward Longstreet with
the purpose OF invading Kentucky. Since
arriving here 1 have obtained information
which satisfies me that Hsrdee has rein
forced Mobile. An attack was undoubted-
ly made on Mobile within five days past.
Persons here have solicited permission to
20 through the lines to attend relations
wounded at Mobile. Positive information
may be soon expected Of an attack on that
place and it's probable fall.

EXECUTIVE NOMINATIONS.

The Senate Military Committee will
hold its first meeting for over week to,
morrow, and will take up the Executive
nominations.
schofeld's case is still in the hands Of
the Committee, and many think it is like
ly to hang there for some time.
The fact begins to excite Comment that
the nomination Of Schofeld was the last
one that the President could make, there
remsining only that one vacancy in The
list of Msjor-Generals. That he was cho-
sen to fill it rather than one oftwo or three
others, whose claims for such promotion
were generally regarded as far higher, is
complained of as devotion TO ones friends
not according to their merits or deserts
and anti-Schsfisld men insist that this will
be enough to defeat him if the question
gets into the Senate at all.
THE WHISKY TAX.
The Senate Finance Committee have de-
cided on their report as to the whisky tax,
but have passed resolution enjoining spe
cisl ssCresy about it till reported in open
Senate. The prevailing belief is that they
have decided against Fernando Woods
amendment taxing all on hand. 1t may
be reported to the Senate tomorrow, but is
hardly expected before Wednesday.
VIRGINIA CONTESTED ELECTION CASE THROWN
OUT OF TIE HOUSE.
The House Election Committee have de-
cided, in the contested case between Nc
Kenzie and Kitchen, each claiming to rep
resent the Alexandria and Msrtinsburg
District in Virginia, to report against
both on the ground that there is not sufi-
cient constituents to warrant represen ts-
ton in Congress, from the fact that this
District, including, as it does, most Of the
Virginia battle fields, has been greatly de-
populated by the war, and which explains
the scarcity of votes. More were cast,
however, than for Segar, from the Norfolk
District, and more than for anybody who
hss been hitherto rejected on this ground.
Between 5000 and 1000 votes were cast
and the case thus assumes an Importance
not attaching to any similar ones hereto
fore decided by the Committee.
THE WAR COMMITTEE.
The Committee on the Conduct Of the
War had another session to-day. They
were still engaged on the examination Of
questions concerning the ordnance bill.
SHORT RATIoEs TO BE MADE UP IN MONEY.
Mr.. Arnold introduced bill in the
House, to-day, providing that when SOL
diers, through the exigency Of the service,
are placed on short rAtiOns, they shall
have whatever amount would be necessary
to make full rations added in money to
their pay.
CUSTOM HOUSE IEvE5TIGTIoE.
The New York Custom House investigs-
ton continues. CollectorHanEeomi is unable
to appear to-day, through illness, but is
expected tomorrow.
CONTESTED ELECTION.
The contested election in the case oi
General Loans district, Of Missouri, will
probably be decided tomorrow.
