A fine carriage, or any article of saddlery, would form » present worthy‘df an; one, and the recipient of such a gift would be highly pleased.

Exchange of Prisoners Completed New York, December 23 —TUe Her ald lias additional details ot Sherman’s grand march through Georgia, and some important particulars regarding his present position before Savannah, and the proßpect for its early - surrender. The city is poorly supplied with provis ions, and is burdened with the feeding of a considerable surplus population of civilians, beside its garrison of twen. ty thousand, or thereabouts. 'As all sources of supplies are cut off by the Union forces, the city will therefore be ultimately starved into submission,’even if Hardee does not ebsose to give it up soon er. There was a report recently in Sher man’s army that Bragg was moving down from Augusta with ten thousand men, to attack the besiege/s in the rear, bhonld he be fool hardy enough to do so, he will be very summarily dis posed of. Late rebel papers have further refer ence to the Union raid from Tennessee into southern Virginia Tbeßtchmond Examiner says it turns out to be an ex pensive and damaging one. The raid ers are reported withiu eight miles of Saltville, but no account is yet furnished o! their having captured the important salt works there. Peace resolutions were recently de feated in ihe Confederate States Senate by 44 to 20 votes. The exchanging with tue re Dels of 10,000 prisoners, which was commenced in the Savannah river and subsequently transferred to Char leston harbor, was completed at the latter point on last Saturday. As this work is now concluded, the firing of our own and the rebel batteries in Char leston harbor and vicinity, which was su3p nded during its .continuance, will probably soon be resum-d if it has not already. Tb- Richmond Examiner notices tire inveaiion and its successful operation in the rebel laboratory in that city, of a machine capable of turning out 3f0,000 percussion caps in eight hours complete. ' “Hog Winder, 1 ' as our men call the man the rebels have in charge of their prisons, has been complimented with the title of Commissionary General of Prisons, and will establish his headquar ters at Atlanta, Ga. The Richmond Examiner of the 20ih says that Government received official dispatches from Savannah yesterday The Richmond Whig, of the 20th, says: The situation in Tennessee is Melan choly enough. It was a black day for the Army of the Tennessee when John ston lost his command. Hood was soon flanged, beaten, and compelled to aban don Atlanta. He then slipped out of ihe way, and in that change he asked Sherman to walk through Georgia. He himselPmoved np into Tennessee,where he has now again got himself beaten, and this time we fear badly enough". The Examiner also says that the cam paign in Northern Tennessee has con cluded disastrously for n 3. We have no doubt. No News of Importance, Hood's Army Virtually Destroyed The Rebellion About Gone Up The Porter-Butler Expedition Affairs on the Canadian Border New York, Dec. 23 —The papers of to-day contain no items of importance, and very few of any interest whatever. The Herald , in an editorial on the military situation, says: The policy adopted by Lee in his late trip to Geor gia has resulted in changing the condi tion of the war from the two great armies against two to three on our "side against one on the rebels. It looks up on Hood’s army as virtually destroyed, and says: Hardee’s scattered force can not be considered an army. With the fall of Savannah and Wilmington Sher man’s whole army can be drawn to the James river and speedily secure the crushing of Lee and the capture of Richmond. It considers the present as pect of affairs highly cheering and cer tain to insure the speedy end of the Con federacy. It. .is. thought that tho attack on the defences of Cape’Fear river. commenced yesterday. Assuming that all of the eighty-seven vessels of the fleet partici pated, there would be 830 guns in use on our side. Many military and naval men fear that the premature publication of the plan of attack may cause the defeat of the expediUoq. At a meeting of the New England So ciery at the Astor House last evening a letter was read from President Lincoln regretting his inability to be present and congratulating the society and country upon the harmony among the people at home and the splendid successes achieved by the army and navy. Also one from Gen. Grant declining the invi tation, but making no allusion to the military situation. Speeches were made by Admiral Farr.igut, Commodore Winslow and Commodore Drayton. Seventy-five prisoners from Fort La fayette were recently sent to Fort War ren. Twenty-four of them were block ade runners an j the balance officers of the rebel army and navy. They were sent to Fort Warren to make room for prisoners recently arrested, among whom are those charged with attempt ing to burn New Yoik. !

My sufferings was so great, and I was so far reduced that it required the effort! of two persons to move me in bod. This was my condition when I was induced uy the Messrs. Ralston.of Eldertoa to try your Improved Searcher, which, to my great relief, and the satisfaction of my friends, I soon discovered was helping me. I continued the use of it, and gained so rapidly that in considerably less than one year I was able to go about*and attend to some jfmy house* hold duties, and the parts affected were all healed up and covered with sound heaitny flesh and skin, and have so oontlnued ever since: and I now enjoy a state of hliUthtbat I had for years given up all hopes of erv again' being blessed with.

In every business or profession, indeed, in every department of science or skill, there 4s al war a some acknowledged one who stands out in bold relier among his feljows as a sort of leader. In the study and treatment of deafness and catarrh, as special diseases, Dr. E. B. LiGHTHILL, of this dll', occupies just the position above described. Hehas devoted years of labor to this specialty, and, is now reJoimr the reward ef his Industry. The editorial cot umns of the Tribune, of a recent date, bear wit ness to the Doctor’s success in this department of medicine. We quote the paragraph: “Cunts of A Dka* Mirra.—LouS Loewinir atein, a lad fourteen years of age, bornfn Germany, como to this city whqn he was about two years old. Soon after his arrival here he was taken sick and lost Ms beating. ‘ By decrees •he became first deaf and then dumb For nearly ten years he was a mute; unable to hear the ioudest voice or to attipolate a word.
