Trustees,
Fcnian Ball.

The Fenian Brotherhood of Columbus will
give their third Annual Ball at Naughton
Hall, on Friday evening, Feb. 18th. The
principles which this organization has
enunciated is sufficient to recommend it to
all lovers of liberty. 1t is no more nor less
than the establishment of Republican
Government on Irish soil; and this they
are pledged to do with cold steel and burn
ished rifles. tits no idle boast for the Irish
people to say that they are able to do this (;
because their heroic achievement and un-
daunted bravery on the battle-helds of
America during the present rebellion is
sufficient to demonstrate that they are.
They only lack the means to equip them
selves, and it is for us to help to pro-
vide these means. Rally, then, one and all
irrespective Of creed and >country-and
prove your love of freedom; help to estab-
lish in the center of Europe power that
will bring terror to the crowned heads of the
crumbling thrones which surround it.

Our Sick Soldiers i'm Savannah
Suffering for Something to Eat.

New YORK, Feb. 15.-The Tribune's
Savannah correspondent calls attention
to the painful fact that there are $500
of Sherman's army in the hospitals in
that city, weak, racked and wrecked,
ievered skeletons, suffering and dying
from fever and wounds and chronic diar-
rhea, piteously begging their Surgeons to
supply them with something they can eat.
But the Surgeons are unable to supply them,
and report that 80 per cent. of the many
deaths are due to the want of proper kinds Of
rourishment. What makes the matter worse
is, these poor fellows have heard that ship
loads of fresh and varied provisions have
been sent from the North to feed those who
have brought them to the condition they
are in. The correspondent says agents Of
the Sanitary Commission have been applied
to as being likely to have the kinds OF food
and nourishment needed, and all the salts
faction obtained was that, though the Com
mission had plenty, transportation could
not be secured to convey 1t to Savannah.
Yet Spectators without number have been
able to secure all the transportation they
needed to bring their goods here and sell
them at exorbitant prices.

Cause of the Explosion at Fort
Fisher.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The board of Off
GERS to investigate the cause of the maga-
zine explosion at Fort Fisher, reports that
1t was the result Of carelessness on the part
of some one unknown, 1t appears that inn
medately after its capture General Ames
gave orders to Lieut.. Col. Zeet to place
guards over all the magazines and bomb
proofs. He placed guards on 81 en-
frances, but the main magazine, which was
in the rear, and which was the one that ex-
ploded, escaped his notice. Soldiers, sailors
and marines were running about with lights
in the fort and discharging firearms. Some
of these men we're intoxicated, and were
seen to enter the main magazine with lights.

the battle of Shimonoseki has been to cause
Chosin to send presents and sue for peace,
and Japan has been mulcted in the sum of
100000 pounds; but it is said the Mikado,
or Spiritual Emperor, has refused to ratify
this settlement, so it looks as if nothing had
been gained after all. Indeed letter of
later date announces the treacherous assas-
sination of two soldiers belonging to an
English regiment stationed at Kanagawha.
The English minister has been recalled be-
cause of his furtherance of other measures
of reparation against Japanese offenses than
the taking of money.

1t is well known to the citizens of Column

a sum of money to establish q Medical Col
lege, and Charity Hospital in connection
Herewith, and that large and commo-
dions building, which is an ornament to our
city, has been erected. The Medical de-
partment thereof has been in successful OPP
Grafton for some years, bringing annually
| tO Columbus large class Of students, and
by this means, disbursing many thousands
Ofdollars In the city. Thus. in pecuniary
view alone, it deserves, and should receive
the fostering care and liberal support of the
citizens. But the Trustees are about to add
to the just claims which the College has
upon the public for generous co-Opera-
ton, by establishing the st. FRANCIS Hos

celved without question as to sect, age, sex,
color, or worldly condition and to be nursed
and treated medically and surgically, Nth

such rs may be voluntarily offered. The
Trustees are only recently enabled to carry
out this benevolent enterprise, because the
"Sisters of ST. Francis" whose VOWS bind
their lives to the service of the sick and the
poor, have undertaken to furnish and con-
duct the hospital in the most complete man
ner, ana on the most extensive scalc that
the rooms and their means will admit. A

The advantages and necessity for such an
Institution in our midst are so obvious that
there is no need of argument; and the Trus-
tees and Faculty of Startling Medical Col

trust committed to them will be faithfully
carried out and rendered efficient by the

The New York Mercury pays the following

The New York Mercury pays the following
eloquent tribute to the Commander in-Chief:
We do not consider it treason, We do not
speak it as disloyal. when we say that Robt
i. Lee, the commander Of the rebel forces, is
in all that constitutes Il strategist, in all that
goes TO make general able to dare and fight
down even fate itsclf-the first and foremost
in the country. When we admit the talents,
the genius and he greatness of Lieut.. General
Grant, it is not only unfair; but unjust, that
we should refuse to acknowledge the grandeur,
the sublime hcr6ism Of that gray-haired geni-
us, the descendant of a line of patriots, which
battling against the combined opposition of al
most an entire world, still stand firm, unyie'd-
iug, and hold at bay the most formidable ar
mics in existence, and has, in defiance of de.
feat, still held him TO his ground, nor wayercd
even when hope itscif seemed lost forever
us yield the need of praise even to our ene'
mics They were once our brothers-once
hand in hand with u.s. Whatever their errors,
their crilleS they are none the less men.
