r gloomy faces; and this is a gloomy day-raining incessantly. A blue day — a miserable day! The city council put up the price of gas yesterday to $50 per 1000 feet. January 11 Clear and pleasant. Cannon heard down the river. Mr. E. A. Pollard, taken by the Federals in an attempt to run the blockade last spring, has returned, and reports that Gen. Butler has been relieved of his command-probably for his failure to capture Wilriington. Mr. Pollard says that during his captivity hMr. Pollard says that during his captivity he was permitted, on parole, to visit the Northern cities, and he thinks the Northern conscription will ruin the war party. But, alas I the lax policy inaugurated by Mr. Benjamin, and continued by every succeeding Secretary of War, enables the enemy to obtain information of all our troubles and all our vulnerable points. The United States can get recruits under the conviction that there will be little or no more fighting. Some $40,000 worth of provisions, belonging to speculators, but m

At the close of the war, Cheatham returned to the pursuits of peace, blessed with the society of his neighbors, whose esteem and friendship he always enjoyed, surrounded by a lovely family and cheered by his noble wife. General Cheatham's personal appearance was thus described a few years after the war by the historian, E. A. Pollard: General Cheatham is squarely and firmly built, and is noted for his extraordinary physical strength. He is slightly round-shouldered, and his weight is about two hundred pounds. His height is about five feet eight inches; his eyes are light blue, clear and expressive; his hair, light brown; his complexion, fair; and his moustache—he wears no other beard—very heavy. His forehead is broad and his face expressive of that imperturbable good humor which characterizes him not more in social

The two stories do not harmonize very well, and to them might be added that of E. A. Pollard, who stated that I threw down the order petulantly, because I was not pleased with its contents!

I also published the statement of my Adjutant-General, Major J. W. Ratchford, that Lee's order had never been received at our headquarters. There are many still living, who know that I occupied a tent, and not a house, outside of Frederick. Whittier said in reference to the story of Barbara Fritchie that it was as well authenticated as any fact in history, on a rumor current in Frederick. It is a very painful thought to me that a Confeder

The testimony before the Mayor showed that he met with a reception not altogether pleasing, and subsequently gave utterance to threats of personal violence against one of the editors, Mr. E. A. Pollard, and that the friends of the latter got out a warrant with a view to the preservation of the public peace. The Mayor required Mr. Hagan to give security in the sum of $200 for his future good behavior.--When this case was disposed of, Mr. Mr. Pollard made affidavit to certain facts connected with the impressment of free negroes into the public service, the object being to institute a prosecution against Hagan. The testimony was heard by the Mayor and two magistrates, and the matter involving propositions of a some what novel character, it was determined to take further time for an examination of the law bearing upon it. If there has been an abuse of the power entrusted to an individual, in the manner alleged, we hope it will b
