pronounced incurable by the best medical practitioners
of the country, have been radically CURED, some of
them in an incredibly short time, by- our , Electrical
treatment. Its-great superiority over other practices in
the cure of disease is also attested in the fact that, with
in the pees five years, over fourteen thousand patients
have been treatea at this office, suffering from almost
every form and condition of disease common to hu
manity, and in nearly all cases a benefit or perfect care
has been effected. Therefore, with these FACTS to
prove our theory and treatment of disease, we are wil
ling to guarantee any or following diseases by
special contract, if the patient desires, with.very many
others not here enumerated :
1. Diseakes of the Brain and ffervoue System.=Ept-
lepsy, Chorea or St Vitus' "Dance, Paralysis (ROMlPle
gm and Paraplegia). Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness,
Palpitation sf the Heart, Lock jaw, etc., etc
2. Organs and Tames connected with the Diyestius
System —Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, • Istarrhma, • Dysen
tery, Obstinate Constipation, Haemorrhoids or Plies,
Bilious, Flatulent, and Patter's Colic, and all affec
tions of the Liver and Spleen
S. Respiratory Organs.—Catarrh, Cough, Influenza,
Asthma (when not caused by organic disease of the
heart). Bronchitis. Pleurisy. Pleurodynisthr Rheuma
tism of the Chest, Consumption in the early stages.
4. Fibrous and Hun-Weir - Sffstent.—Rheomatisto,
Gent, Lumbago, Stiff Neck, Spinal COreatate. Hip
Disease. Cancers. Tumors.
6. Urinary and Genital Organs.-Gravel, Diabetes
and Kidney G`omplaints, Impotence and Seminal Weak
nese. The latter complaints never fail to yield rapidly
to this treatment.
B. Dieeasta peculiar to .Fhatake —Uterine Corn
plaints, involving a - inal-poettion. as Prolapeae. Ante
vereion. Retroverston. Inflammation, Ulceration, and
various other a ff ections of the Womb and Ovariee.Pain

7. Skin Di'seaSeB.—Scrofaloue Eruptions, Glandular
Swelling,,Ulcer, of every kind. Felons', Erysipela,,
Herpes orTetter; in fact. in 'livery description of stin
disease the Galvanic Bath has proved vastly more effi
cacious than all other means combined.. Also, diseases
of the Ei e and Ear.
TO LADIES can we recommend this treatment as one of
1312 - VABIED SUCCESS. Almostinuumerable caseshave
come under treatment at our office who can testify to this
fact. Mrs S. A FULTON, - a lady of great experience
and ability, has entire charge of the Ladies' Depart
ment, and all delicaoy - will be used toward those who
entrust themselves to her care. In female diseases' as
mentioned id the above list, .with others" not mentioned.
ebe has had a large experience, and can Confidently
promise the moot gratifi lag results,. .
TO TEE AFFLICTED.—The treatment Is mild and
gentle, producing no "shock -or unpleasant sensation
whatever. Our profesetional intercourse with the at•
dieted will ever be characterized by perfect candor and
honesty, and those - whose complaints are incurable, or
do not admit of amelioration, will be frankly told eo,
and not a ocllpted. for treatment. It matters not what
may be your complaint, or how long you may have oaf
feud. or how much. or what course of treatment you
may have been subjected to, or what disappointments -
you have experienced; if the system is not worn out
if - su °lent vitality remalas for reaction—there is a fair
prospect oL recovery.

The army has been greatly - excited fordays batik.;
on the subject of peacm,.and the most unrellablettr.
telligenoe—the vaguest runiors' of an early settler
went of our troubles—have been eagerly commented
upon by the war.worn veterans around me—vete

what they say..
These scarred and battered men have worshipped
long enough at the Shrine of Mars, and they are
deeply anxious to exchange his service for the
easier bonds of the Goddess of Paseo. But Weir
deterfftination 18 none the less fixed, however; they
are willing to fight on and court death In as many
more bloody fields, ere they will consent -that one
jot or tittle of the nation's proud demand for an en
tire and perfect Union shall be yielded to the foo.
Their sentiments are plainly expressed and an
mistakable., • They wish, !lay long, with every feel
ing that leads them to cherish home and its loved
ones, and to hate carnage • and the dark passions it
engenders, for peace ; but a'proposition to secure
them the blessings of peace by subreitting:to dis.
anion they would receive with the bitter mockery
of a blow. -

- A report prevails all through the army, and seems
to, be worthy of-credence, that Aneral Sheridan
has been assigned to the_ command of the Army of
the l'OtOmao,yire General Meade, relieved, and
will shortly arrive to'assume his new position. Ge
neral Meade, it is understood, will receive a new
command.
General Arcade and his personal staff arrived at

sOmusszef LOVE won BRAVE OFFICERS.
Night before last there was vociferous cheering
along the left of this corps and in the right or the
2d. The - came of it was for a long time unasser
talned: Telegraphic messages sent from•this head
quarters to'the headquarters of other corps elielted
no information in reply, and for some time the
affair remained a Mystery. Yesterday,. renewing
the inquiries, 1 aseertalned•that the shearing was
occasioned by the juhilation of the troops over the
return of some convalescent officers to their regi-
Merit. The circumstances of the ease are rather
peouliar. It seems that In one of the bloody battles
in the Slysnandoah valley last fall, the major and
a captain of the 106th New York Regiment were
badly wounded, and were sent hometmreouperate.
In the meantime, the colonelcy of the regiment
being vacant, Governor Seymour thought proper to
commission a civilian to the position, and, the men
Were much dissatitied withthe arrangement. Before
the new colonel had beenmustered in, however, Gov.
Seymour's term of office expired, and one of, the
earliest acts of Governor Fenton's rule was to com

WWI the sole and absorbing topic of converoation.
Everything known, believed, or reported about the
distinguished Southerners was attentively listened
to,. and commented upon with avidity. ' But as the
facts were simple and few, gossip soon droOped
about peace for want of nutriment, and turned to
other matters for sustenance.
PACIFIC WORDS AND WA.RDIRR ACTS—A- 310 VIS OR
\ DERR%
This it soon reoeigied in abundanee, for ninety
were the cornmissionere comfortably seated M the
"M. Martin," when a mandate to arm went forth,
and the whole army was ordered to be ready to
march. Late on Tuesday nigh; the 2d, 6th, and 9th
Corps were placed under marching orders, and the
sth Corps was held in readinesi for service.
TRH PREPARATIONS.
All during Wednesday, morning, afternoon,
and night, the, isAllng wheels and shrill shriek
of the oars, as theylltore past laden with va
rious, burdens, gave tokens of a apeedy \ movement.
The hospitals were despoiled of their inmates, and
the sick soldiers were collected at every station and
hurried out of harm's way to the great hospital at
City Point. Knapsacks were packed, blankets
strapped, canteens filled with water; or coffee. if
it was to, be procured ; atm burnished, looks
picked, horses saddled and bridled, artillery wagons
furnished with extra teams, and ail was bustle and
excitement, 'set the clamp was orderly as on a parade
day. Six days' rations were distributed to the three
corps which I have mentioned as under marching
orders. From these circumstances it was generally
conceded that the army was to snake a grand
move.
TEE CAUSES AID DIALECTION OP TIM MEECH.
The only question was in what direction this move
was to be, and about this there were divers opinions;
The moot common was that another and more for
midable attack than the previous one was to be made
upon the Southold° Railroad. Others stated, with
a degree of certainty which Was amusing, that the
rebels had dug a mine under-the fort with a naughty
name, known among moral people as Fort Sedg
wick, end were about to send the earth into the skies,
and rush into the vacuum with countless legions of
Lee's liliserables. Of course, from this standpoint
the troops were judged to be in readiness to repel
the expected assault. Another version was that
the Confederate commander was marching a large
body of troops upon our left, with a view of prettipl
tating thorn, upon the 2d Corps, and that our men
were to move in the same direction to counteract
the rebel movement. In abert, everybody had his
own reliable story about the affair, and each story
was probably equally well founded—upon nothing.
THE MOVE NOT YET MAIM
Two days have now passed, however, and although
the camps evince a rather greater amount of "the
pomp.-and circumstance of war," and although the
selected corps have not received any revocation of
their orders, it 18 generally understood that there is
to be no modement unless in repulsion of the enemy..
OUSE Or 'ran eTtn—strencioue BNBSL MOTIONS.
The most plausible explanation of the stir is this :
For some days past, wherever the rebel works were
Visible from our lookout posts, an unusual degree Of
activity was noticed. 'Regiments and brigades were
marching to and fro, and motion seemed to be the
order of the day in that portion of rebeldom, opposite
to Gen. Meade's army. Then, too, it was probably
thought that the acute commander, whose profound
brain has done so mj:ch to lengthen this contest,
might take advantage of the .visit of Stephens Sr
Co. to surprise us while lulled by the "Syron song
Of pesos."" A movement may yet take place, but
judging from present appearances military affairs
In this quarter will soon lapse into their usual state
of quietude.
A BRIDGE OVER TEE JAMES
No longer relying upon tne uncertain stability
of pontoons for transportation across the James,

THIC ARETSII44 6ir THE SLAVES.
From what I can learn from deserters and refs.
goes, ,of both colors, who may be relied upon, there
is ro subjeqt which Is engrossing so much attention
In Richmond as the proposition to arm a corps of
negroes. General Lee, Jeff Davis, and many of the
rebel chiefs are known, to be in favor of the measure.
The F. F. TA, who,, through favoritism, are detail.
ed to stay at home, see, In this movement, a crush
ing of all their fondest hopes. This class, of course,
oppose the measure as impracticable, and beneath
the dignity of Southern gentlemeit. The officers in
the rebel army, who lose everything dear to man
when the authority of the Union Shall be maintain—
ed, seem to be free of the samples.

Suoh an opportunity for Indignation among the
chivalry would be hallecl'irlth suppressed feelings of
exultation. The rebel authorities are by no means
ignersat.of.,this-feeling,kut ascribe it to the disin
clination of their soldierrVhght - eleugslije of the
negro, *hick they believe can. be overcome by the
rigor of discipline. There is another class of per
sons who are more honest in their.apposition to the
measure thanall other classes. They are the ne.
gross themselves,
THOUPHTS OP THE SLAVIDMEM REASON PLAIN
TO mae• i_
When this question was first broached to the
public, It was es evident to the most ignorant slave
of the South as to Davis himself that it was dic
tated by rebel necessity. The idea was so repulsive
to these poor, humble people that they immediately
began to devise yap and Meant) to escape to our
liner, or, in their own vernacular, "to flank de
piokets. ,, The more thoughtful of the negroes In
;Richmond rather liked the idea, and, hoping that it
'cyanid be put Into execution, began to prepare the
minds of their people for an important chapter in
this struggle, in which they were praying to be per
matted to take-a part.
A GREAT BROBET ASSOCIATION' OF " L'O3IkB.TY."
Secret associations -were at 01t8 organized in
Richmond, which. rapidly *read throughout .Vir
gluts, where the venerable patriarchs of this op=
pressed people prayerfully assembled together to
deliberate upon the proposition-of taking up arms
In defence' of the South. There was but one opi
nion as to the rebellion and its object; but the ques
tion which puzzled them most was,.llow were they
to act the part about: to be assignett to them la this
martial drama Alter a cordial - interchange of
ophdons it was decided with greet unanimity, and
finally ratified• by all the auxiliary associations
everywhere, that black men should promptly re-•
spond to the call of the rebel chiefs, whenever it
Should be made, for them to take-up arms.
HOW SLIVIMiI- .WlOl TO SPIKHET:VOIL IMBELLION.
A question arose aa to whit:position they would
likely occupy in an engagement, which occasioned
n 9 little solicitude, from which all; minds wore re
lieved by agreeing that if they were,piseed in front
as soon as the battle began the negroes were to
raise a shoutforAbraham L.incoln-and the Union,
and, satisfied there would be plenty of supports
from the. Fedora,' fortie, they were to turn like tin
caged tigers-upon the rebel hordes. Should they
be placed in the-rear, It was also understood that as
soon as firing began they were to charge furiously
upon the chivalry, which would place them between
two flreerwhieh would disastrously defeat the army
of Lee, if not accomplish its entire-annihilation.
~_ _
Such Is the plan which I learned from the vice
president of the combined movement, who delayed
his exit from Rlohmend some elm weeks, under the
impression and the hope that - negrocs would be
armed in the rebel service. Being satisfied that it.
would nob be attempted, he took passage upon
the underground -railroadap_d_ arrived safely
within our lines. Although my informant is of the
opinion that negroes 'will notbe armed, yet, from
later. Intelligence which I have received, I am as
sured that the rebel authoritiesi who plane much re
liance upon'what might be accomplished with this
element of strength, under drill and discipline, are
using every means which neeeesity can suggest or
artifice devise to make the measure popular. With
the view of making it palatablecto that class of re.
bele who do not realize the necessity "of sacrificing
the system to secure their-Independence, it is to be
manceuvied upon such a-treacherous basis as will
enable the rebel chiefs to keep their-word of promise
to the negro's ear, but break it to their hopes.
THE SLAVES HOT ALL UNION•LOVINO
It must not be supposed that thkblaoks to a man
are loyal to the old flag.. The hesitating policy of
the Government at the outbreak of the war, coupled
with the terrible recollection that fugitive slaves
were returned by Union MON'S and were made • to
pass through the severest ordeal Of SoutPern tor.
tare, and the impression which this engendered, that
the Yankees would sell them to Cuba, and other
stories whionworken equally upon their fears, have
induced many to altos , to the cause of the South
under protest, and suffer the evils they have than
fly to others they know not of. These, however, are
the exception, while the_ millions, whose faith has
never wavered, are still praying that the old flag
May ever be victorious. .
D.ob,tiXolo3 OF SLATE-11BrUSIDSS.
There are abundant instances of unfaltering de
potion to the : Jn on among this class, and the perils
through which both bond and free have passed,.to
tescape from the dominion of Southern chiefs, would
make the basis for many thrilling romances. Isis

the lowa refused to recognise the eacreduesa of the

they arrived after having concealed themselves

short time before leaving rebeldom, '
she with a
number of others of the F. F. V. colored people,
was arrested and confined in prison for three days
for attending the wedding of a friend In the Doan

public snipping-post through the earnest aid of

the army Must very soon suffer for provisions. The
country back of Richmond is filled with teams deli

The Atlnutile Cable:
THE WORE: OF SHIPMENT BEGUN -.THE GREAT
ZAP/ZHU TO BE THIS TIME THE CABLE'S BEARISH
-THE NEW ONE SUPERIOR TO THE OLD.
' The London Times gives an encouraging account
of the progress of the new Atlantis Telegraph
Sable. On the 19th of January the work of shipment
on board the Great Eastern was begun. The sable
was transferred from the works at Greenwich to the
hulk Iris, for transportation to the Medway,
and final stowage in the tanks of the Great
Eastern. The shipment will continue without in.
termisslon now until nearly the end of May, by
which time it is hoped all_ will be coiled away
snugly on board the great steamship, The total
quantity of rope required to connect Valenti°. with
Bali a Say, Newfoundland, allowing for the " slaok , s
which must run out to prevent too great a strain on
the cable, is about two thousand three hundred
nautical, or nearly two thousand seven hundred
statute miles. With this length a liberal margin is
given of nearly six hundred statute miles of rope
for slack caused by , currents, possible rough weather,
and the avoidance of anything like unusual strain on
the cable in the deepest water. Over one part of
the. route the depth is as great. as from
two—thousand to two thousand five hundred
fathoms,. or nearly three statute miles—a
depth, however, which is only considered of mo
ment in case of rough weather in paying out, the
mere strength of the cable being suffielent to bear
its own weight in eleven miles of still water. In
this respect, ae, indeed, in all others (the Times
adds), the new cable has an enormous superiority
over the old and lib used rope which was first laid,
and which, to the amazement of all those who knew
its real condition, nevertheless remained in fair
working erder for a few days. If Bush unexpected
results were obtained from the old cable, which
the advancement of electrical oedema since then
shows to have been thoroughly. ill-adapted for
its purpose, it is not over sanguine to expect
a far more favorable . conclusion to the present
enterprise, every step in the conduct of which has
been marked with'the most jealous care, not only to
guard against the dangers known to exist, but
against other emergencies which experience shows
may arise, but which five years ago were unknown.
In size, in strength, in better oondition, better in
sulation, and better outer covering, the new rope is.
never less than three times as good as the old one,
whilein many oases, and these the most important,
its superiority is four or tit% times greater. Though
a much larger cable, its weight in water per nails
is less than half that of its unfortunate prede
cessor.
No final arrangements have yet been made as to
the rules to be followed in laying ther cable, bat it
will, of course, be commenced from this side of the
Atlantic, and carried across to Newfoundland, to get
the benefit of the westerly winds which generally
blow in summer. Steaming against a head wind,
the Great Eastern is as steady as a rock. The rate
of steaming across Will never exceed saves knots
an hour, and at this rate the great object of the ex
pedition ought to be accomplished in from ten- to
eleven days. All will, howeVer depend on fine
weather,_wbieh, fickle enough everywhere, is trebly
so in the North Atlantic, as the terrific gale en.
countered by the last expedition sufficiently proved.
Against this misfortune, however, no care or skill
on the part of the company can guard, and at pre
sent this seems the only cloud over the prospects of
the new Atlantic telegraph.

closely they stick to the proprieties themselves.
Their organs in this city are at present assaulting,
the "Citizens' Association? because it, on behalf

TEE LAMBS or SA.VARIfAII..—A. correspondent,
in a recent letter, speaking of the ladles of Saian
nab, says : "There is something touching In the
plainness of their dress, suggestive here and there
of having been turned and worked over, with whab
ever touch-of coquetry their reduced circumstances,
or perhaps opportunities would permit; Then their
air Is marked by extreme dejection—not ,defiance.
I noticed yesterday, In church, a number of ladles
sitting beside our priests -soldiers, in their own
pews uent, and quietly brushing away the tears as an
eloq preacher spoke of resignation. Able ! that
American women should ever have °atm to let fall
a drop so fraught with abasement and self-accass,
lion.'
AN organization, called the Fenian Sisterhood—
an auxiliary of the Fenian Brotherhood, and. with
the same objects in view—has been started in New

The market continues inactive, for the beet of all rea
sons• there is no clock to operate with. The present
weather. however, favors an early resumption of navi
gatien. A very large amount of Oil is ready for ship

advanced, ranging from $7.68 to WI. accolding to lo

Cincinnati Provision Ifarliet, Feb. 3.
The amount of business trimsseted•to-day was villa
small. Bnyera and sellers are still gaits a distanceapart
in their views. and until something occurs to draw them
together, it will be almost impossible to make any
large transactions. In mess pork a sale of 150 bble of
city pecked was reported at $.7.7 There was no Inquiry
for romps, or prime mess, and no quotations which
would be of aws use can be given. The demand for
bulk meats is of the molt limited character, and prices
are entirely nominal at MX@lfer for shoulders, and 173.1
418 c for elde , ,•loote and packed There is, as yet,
very little bacon out or smoke. Whet is offered le hel d
at isgs for shoulders and Tie for clear .Sides. Bazar
