CURE OF A DEAF MUTE.-Louis Loew-
lnstein, lad Of fourteen years of age, born
IN Germany, came to this city when he
was about two yesrs old. Soon after his
arrival here he was tsken sick and lost his
hearing. By degrees he became first deaf
and then dumb. For nearly ten years he
was mute, and unable to hear the loudest
sound or to srticulate word. About one
year ego he was placed by his parents in
the hands Of DR.. Lighthill, who 90 far sue
eeeded in restoring him to his lost powers
Of hearing and uiteranee that ne can con-
verse with those who speak to him distinct
ly and deliberately. DuIiHg the past four
or five month he has been under the tut
tion of DR.. Bennickie, and he has made
considerable progress in reading and arith-
metic.
Having been supplied with the lads ad-
dress we further investigated the matter.
and discovered that previous to calling on
Or. Lighthill, the youths case was cunsid-
cred hopeless, and he was for two yesrs an
inmate of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum.-

me Railroads OF Ohio,

The c1mmittee appointed by the Legis-
lAture to draw up a report on the best
method Of preventing railroad accidents in
this state and protecting the rights of the
people, has made statement, through the
chSirmsn, Sen. Alphorzo HsrtOf Rsvenns
that is Of great interest and consequence to
the people Of Ohio. The vAstness of the
interests both public snd private, now
csatered in therailroad corporations Of the
State, are such that something should car
tainly be done TO insure the safety of pas
sengers and secure Justice to the people in
the transmission of freight both local and
through. That fesling of insecurity attends
maay people in taking their seat in Tail-
rosd car is not strange atall, in view of the
innumerable accidents that have occurred
during The last six months. No statistics
srs accessible showing their extent, IS
msny of minor importance occur which
never find publicity through the press.
Eyery pass senger, however, feels that while
oa tie CARS he is entirely helpless himself
50 far IS the avoidance of accidents may 60
Over the condition Of tho track, the rate cf
speed, the time of running the state Of
eulYerts, bridges and embankmeRts, he has
no control
It Is q fact, insisted upon in the report
Of Mr.. Hart, that the stock Of many of the
railroads of Onio, originally owned by citi-
zsns of the state, is now held by speeu-
lAtors outside the state The war has in
creased the bu.iness Of railroads to such an
extent, that, from being almost worthless
three or four years ago, much of the stock
has advanced immensely beyond its former
value. So far sc the men are concerned
who hold this stock merely for speculative
purposes, they have no interest in the con-
diticn or management OF railroads, only so
far as they produce large diVidends This
fact itself is reason why some kind Of
action should be taken by the State Legis-
lsture to correct theebuses that have grown
up, and which in some cases have become
moDstrous. Mr.. Hart presents some facts
in regard to local freight and fare, that
show that the lsws Of the state are, in many
oases, systematically violated. Whether
the propositions presented by the Senator
from Portage are too Iigid, can best be
judged by those in possession of all the
fscts We trust. however, that before the
Legislature s6joprns, it viii signaliz9 its
labors by some wise ard efficient law which
shall compel railroads to see to the security
Of passengers and to insure justice in the
Transmission Of local freight and the regu-
lztson Of local fare

A zebeI view of sherman.

The rebels have taken to belittlIDg
General Sherman. AS they cannct stop
him with armies, they propose to write
him down, Notwithstanding his CREST
success. especially In thetaking OF Charles
ton without blow, the greatest victory,
so far as trophies go Of ancient or modern
times, the Richmond Whig, of Monday,
speaks Of Sherman as a General remark
able for a "caution that invariably pro-
duceg vscillstion and timidity," and coOlly
asks: T1s
Can any one name battle thst Sher-
man has ever won besides the partial en-
gagement at Jonesboio'2 Can any one
name another battle that he has ever
fought, excepting the bsttle Of Chiekseaw
Bayou, in which he wss disastrOusly de-
fssted by General Stephen D. Lee with
vastly inferior forces7
As President Lincoln remarked Of
Grants "tonic," it would be well if our
whole army Of Generals were endowed
with little more Of this kind of avscilla-
tion and timidity."

Hetvpean Snerman and Johnston.
The most talented lisr, the most un-
fortunate prophet the most unblushing
ally Of the rebels, Is the mystic Druid Of
the New York World Dating his letters
st Baltimore, though they are probably
written in some shabby attic in New York,
by means Of ths extracts from the rebel
press published IN the n. Y:papers, affects
to have mysterious sources OF knowledge
running from Richmond TO the end of his

and ingenious, he manages to plsy upon
the fears aud hopes Of thosa who stand
reversntly before bis DEuidicsl name.
The latest news via the reliesble Druid
is 10 the effect that a great battle was
fought near Salisbury, n. G, between
Johnston and Sherman. He doesn't con-
tent himself with this bare statement, but
goes into details. He ssys that Sherman
had been advancing in twocolumns, some
what separated in consequence Of the diff
heulty of procuring food and forage. One
column was marching directly on Salisbury
while the other marched farther east, To-
ward Raleigh. The west column hsd
reached Concord, between Charlotte and

that place and the Yadkin river, q branch
ofths Great Pedee Gen. johnson, accord

getting The worst Of it crossed to the left
bank of the Yadkin, where he waited Sher-
mans forfher advance. fisherman should
advance upon Salisbury, Johnston was to
recross the river with his whole force and
attack him. Druid, in order TO complete
the picture, then tells US how much of q
force. Johnston has, proving TO his own
saiilfscLion that be has already $4,000 men
and that Lee can send him 10000 more
without Grants knowing it.
Such stuff as this is probably highly re-
freshing to the readers of the World. The
fact is, however, that Sherman has not
been in the vic nifty of Salisbury at ALL

The inauguration of sIr. nineoIn.

The Inauguration of President Lincoln,
on Saturday, for his second term, proved
to be an Imposing demonstration. A brief
description OF the ceremonies will be found
in or telegrsphic columns. The Inaugural
Address was brief, possibly too brief to sui!
the expectations of many. Mr.. Lincoln
does not reststs his policy for the coming
four years, and it is presumed that the
country we'll understands it from his pre-
vious declarations. he briefly reviews the
progress of the rebellion bat ventures no
prediction as 10 the future, though he
thinks everything looks promising and sat-
islsctory. His views of slavery will meet
the appreciation of ali who, as does Mr..
Lincoln, believe that God is working his
own purposes with this great people. The
words with which the address closes should
be engraven on every heart:
With malice toioard none, Nth charity
for all, NTH JiTna1nss in the right. as Goa

zen. Davis Attacked.

A very significant speech was made in
the Virginia Senate q few days ago, in
which fierce onslaught was made upon
DaviE. The most important charges made
by the speaker are that the rebel Govern
ment is utterly imbacile. He says:
The chief Characteristic of that Admin
istrataoB is. that it has separated the Cor.
eTanse1st from the people, and has made a
more uigorolIS and efectlUe aOar on the re.
sources of the eoacatry than it has made on
the public enemy.
To what extent the rebels are supplied
with provisions may be inferred from the
following:
Such has been the effect of the public
measures, to the deplorable extent seen in
the we'll known fact that this agricultural
country-one of the richest on esrth-ths
production of provisions Is so reduced that
tie PabLlc sentiment, most conspicllousLy, is
4 PAINFUL o'lriety for continued subsistence.
Benjamin is ssvagely attacked for his
speech at the Africsn Church, demanding
that the slaves be put into the army. The
speaker complains of the impressment, and
predicts that the people will cease to pro-
duce subsistence for the army. He also
boldly demands that Davis be deposed.
He says; t..--.

see no other way of escape. With spirit

row, 1 win declare it bololy. It IS that
