NEwToNvILLE, Nov. 10, 1864.
DR.. LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Allow me
to express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered TO my dsugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some months past
has been nearly deprived Of hearing. The
loss Of this important sense is certainly
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing
and to degree known only TO those who
have experienced it. If therefore, there
be remedy for this great evil, the cause
of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. 1 feel
it my duty therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony 10 the
happy effects of your treatment and rene
dies. My daughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss Of her hearing.
It was with extreme difficulty that she
could participate in theconversstion of her
friends, and for two years has been deprived
of this source of social enjoyment. Hap
PLY my attention was directed to your ad-
Yertisement, and was induced TO place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
favor of q kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, so far as can Judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Whether
this restoration is permanent is question
time alone can determine, but present re-
suits are certainly very gratifying.
I am, dear sir,
Truly and gratefully yours

The Printer.

The printer is the Adjutant of Thought,
and this explains the mysteries of the
wonderful word that can kindle a hope
as no song can-that can warm a heart
as no hope-that word "We," with
hand-in-hand warmth i'm it, for the Au-
thor and the Printer are Engineers to-
gether. Engineers indeed! When the
little COrsican bOmbarded Cadiz at the
distance of five miles, it was deemed the
very triumph of engineering. But what
is that paltry range to this, whereby
they lombard the ages yet to be?
There at the case he stands and mar
shalls into line the forces armed for
truth, clothed in Immortality and Eng
fish. And what can be more noble than
the equipment of a thought in sterling
Saxon+Saxon with the ring of spear on
shield therein, and that commissioning
it when we are dead, to move gradually
on to "the last syllable of recorded Time"
This is to win a victory from death, for
this has no dying in it.
The printer is called laborer, and the
office he performs is toll. Oh, it is NOT
WORK, but a sublime rite he is perform
ing when he thus "sights" the engine
that is to fling WOrded truth in grader
curve than missiles e'er before described
filings it into the bosom of an age I'M
born. He throws off his coat indeed
we but wonder the rather, that he does
not put his shoes from off his feet, for
the place he stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago: it wandered through the twi-
light feebler than a star; it died upon
the ear:-But the printer takes it up
where it was lying there in the silence
like wounded bird, and he sends it
forth from the Ark, that had preserved
it, and it flies on into the future with the
olive branch of peace: and around the
world with melody, like the dawning of
a Spring morning-Bayas'd Taylor.

4 Pea for Secretary WOtiOfy.

We have rarely read a more amusing
sketch of a public functionary than the
folloWingarticlef roma Richmond paper.
We commend it to the lovers of wit and
humor, and to the admirers of perfect
photographs:
" We have lately seen some reference
made to Mr.. Mallory, said to have been
Secretary Of the Navy in the Confede-
rate Cabinet, but person who made so
faint an impression upon publicmind
that, when the Confederacy collapsed, he
was as little remembered as little as the
jollyboat that disappears with the wreck
of ship. We are not altogether certain
that the Secretary of the Navy was not
ea mSt could GdeftSny d if the term "sG
versal acceptation to any officer of the
Government of Mr.. Davis, it undoubt-
edly belonged to Mr.. Mallory. His
friends might with entire propriety rest
his defence upon two grounds: 1st That
there was no navy. I'd. That if there
was, he was no Secretary. To call him
the head of department would have
been a piece of innocent pleasantly in
the days of disuniOn, but to maintain it
now is serious joke. We hasten to put
in word in his behalf.
GA woman who was once arraigned
on a charge of infanticide, or crime
that sometimes leads to it, put in the
defence that the child was a very little
one. We beg to enter a similar appeal
for Mr.. Mallory. He was an amiable
gentleman, a sort of handsome figure
head of a man-of-war, but nothing else.
The United States owes him debt of
gratitude for the constitutional love of
ease and the untiring Incidence with
which he rocked himself to sleep on the
rolling pillows of civil strife. It would
have been difficult to pick up cabin
boy in the merchant service who could
be more dangerous to his employers or
more likely to set the ship on fire by
going to sleep with a lighted candle in
his hands. The fat boy in the Pick wick
Papers was a miracle of vigilance and
energy to that /" so-called" Secretary.
Mr. Mallory had Il speciality, how
ever, whichkept the public from entirely

We are indebted to RoBHRr PA1rER
son, late Major-General Of Volunteers

pamphlet copy Of his Narrative of the
Campaign in the Valley of the Shenan-

IS handsomely printed, and has ae-

covered by the counties of Berkeley,

reference to the military operations in

his conduct, skill and military strategy
in that campaign, it is perfectly tri-
umphant.

through the form of counting the electoral
votes of the several states, and declared
Abraham Lincoln and Andrew johnson 70
be duly elected president and vice-preSii-
dent of the United States for four years
from March 4. 1860. The Boston Jour
nal saws of this transaction:
The counting of the votes for president
and vice-president. must have brought tO
the minds of those who participated in the
event the counting of four years ago.
Then there Were rumors that the Southern
conspirators would prevent the vote from
being officially declared, and much excite

devoid ofany particular features of inter

is, that If Is now thirty-two years since the
votes re-etectily a president have been
counted That is one link connecting
Andrew jackson with Abraham Lincoln

GRANTS MOTEMENT.

The movement Of the army of the Poto-
mac which we chrOnlcled last week did
not result in a general engagement as ex-
pected. On Monday portion of the 9th
corps was pushed forward and drove the
enemy from point known as Dabney'S
Mills, about two miles beyond Hatchcr's
Run. Here the rebels made determined
stand, and about o'clock made an at
tack in the front and on the flank of the
division and caused it to fall back some
distance to line of breastworks thrown
up by the second corps Here our men
were rallied and in turn drove back the
enemy. The fighting was quite severe
and our loss was from 800 to 500. A Sc
we're rain storm set in on Tuesday, the
rain freezing as it fell Our forces, how
ever, advanced to Dabney's Mills, driving
the enemy before them and into thcil
works beyond. Our troops held tho
ground, but did not push further on that
day. This movement up to Tuesday night,
had gained us an advance of about five
miles, making our line much more formid-
able than before On the lines of Gen
Grant there has been no fighting since
Tuesday. The troops are throwing W
breastworks and strengthening their po
sition
