The romans OF Capt. Slaymaker ar
rived last evening by express The funeral
ceremonies will take place as laid down in the
published programme.


BARE GRouND.-Some spasmodic eff
forts were made yesterday TO keep up sleigh.
ing, but it didn't work we'll at all. The street-
were almost entirely destitute Of any thing but
mud water and gravel


RECRUITS are still coming in for the
18th Regiment. Come along boys it is
about the last chance you will get to take
position in the army Of the Federal Union.
Come right along ana fill up the ranks


CoMPLIMENTARY. We notice that
Adjutant General Baker has been recommend
ed in the House of our State Legislature for
Brigadier General. The General would. no
doubt, do himself honor in that position The
Gazette's correspondent seems to intimate that
the Senate does not appreciate the idea. That
is very likely.


GIVING AWAY Dry GooDs.-It is
shame that the goods at Parker Il Van Tuyl's
auction rooms have to be sold at such a sacri-
fee. Hou-ekeepers should make the mos, Of
this opportunity and provide themselves with
what they can get at other place for the
came money. Call every dag, at 10 and
o'clock


STREET Commissioner Baker has had
a gang of twenty eight men employed for the
past two days in clearing the ice out Of the
gutter on the east side Of Harrison street.
This gutter is high above the ground immedi-
ntely east Of it, and there was q prospect OF
having de!uge among the petp pie who hved
below the line of said gutter. The matter is
Albright now.


Mr.. MCMANUS, who lives at the low.
er end Of town, has had letter from his con,
who was in the 9th Massachusetts, Regiment,
which ia in the burnside Expedition. He i.
safe and sound. and went through the engage.
ment at Roanoke Island without anv seri,us
This relieves the mind Of anxious
parents and friends relative to the welfare Of
the brave soldier.


LAND AT AUCTIoN.-On Friday NOR
er u Van Tuyl's auction rooms, come four or
i've hurdred acres Of land, in parcels to suit
customers and at their own prices. This 10
decidedly the best chance Of the season. Also. !
At the same time aud place an excellent fl re
proof safe business men should bear it in
mind aud be there in time


VAMoosED TIE RANCHE.-Nashville
is now in Union hands beyond doubt. That
is good n-ws, Itnt.res,s people up this way
more ways than one to see the Federal ball
moving down towards the Cult The heg;ra
OF Gov. Harris and the Tennessee Legislature
to Memphi4, is only temporzing. They might
as we'll come down first as last. 1t is hardly
probable that the rebels will stand fight at
Memphis. 1t would not be for the interest OF
that State to permit such course.


THE Treasury Note bill has at last
passed. 1t comes to us partially legal tender
and partially not. Duties are to be paid in
coin and the interest on the bonds with which
the notes are redeemable are also paid in coin.
That is better than the original draft by con-
siderable We may look in vain, however,
for the usual amount Of specie for a consider
able time to come. So be tiff we cannot do
as we'll as we would let us do rs we'll as we
can. Them's our sentiments


DIS. McCarn aud Maxwell, who were
sent down by the citizens to look after the
welfare Of our wounded soldiers. have been
taken into the Government service, and are
now at Fort Donelson, earnestly engaged in
alleviating the sck AMI suffering. Wonder if
the Iowa Medical staff will not make fuss
with the Government for taking such . man
as DIR. McCarn into the service. Isn't it an
outrage! Why, the State Board teetotslly
refused to recommend him Nay. it was d. ad
set against his having any thing to do with the
army. The reason was, because he did not
belong to any orga anized society of physicians.
Wasn't that reason enoughG What could such
an unfortunate and benighted individual do


among sick folks in the army7 That's what


We want to know. Where is Surgeon General


Hughes? Where is the Board McCarn's
abiity-his skill and experience, is all boeb. o


course, If he is outside the pale Of our organ
! lied society Of physicians. Let the Board


meet and place their seal of condemuatio


upon this fragrant act of usurpaton on tn.
part Of the Government, We can't do iustic,
to the subject. We ike oil such kind of red
| tape humhug
