LOCAL INTELLIGENCE flfb Paper.-Owing to the f*t that to-day will be universally observed aaa holiday by the community, ho paper will belssu&dio morrow lrom this office. I‘tirtstmase—Christmas passed off this year a» pleasantly aB in former years, and, as far as w religions exercises are concerned. In a manner which provedhighly satisfactory to the commu* ntty In general. On Saturday night the dilfep eot places of amuseusot in the city were crowd ed with pleasure seekers, and even in the pri vate families the old custom of celebrating Christmas Eve was celebrated with the usual gucia 1 reunions, which formed one of thd prin cipal featdtes of the evening. The streets were crowded and everything seemed to have a merry appearance. On the following morning, -howev er, a visible change took place, and every one seemed Impressed with the sanctity of the day which they were celebrating. At an early hour every church in the city was crowded and the greatest devotion was manifested by everybody. The services were unusually Impressive, and no douM the com mendable decorum which prevailed throughout the city during the day mutt be in a great part attributed to them. After the religious services were over preparations were made in every" household for the Christmas dinner, which was duly served and enjoyed in a manner highly creditable to all who partook thereof. Of course the neal was an extraordinary one, such as is served up only on holidays and otuer great oc casions. Even in the boarding honse this change* oonld be noticed, and some of the everlasting dishes were laid aside for once to give place to auch as appeared more seasonable, so that even the old bachelor oould enjoy j'hts Oh-lstmas, however slightly. During the afternoon and evening, the weath er being pleasant, large number* of persons could be seen on the streets, and all seemed hap py and contented. The boisterous merry mak ing which-is sometimes noticeable on such occa sions was entirely excluded from the ceremonies of the day and gave place to a sort of commend able quiet an l decorum which prevailed during ihe entire day. On the whole,we are of opinion that a Christmas seldom or never paißed otf in a meaner so creditable and tatisf.ctory to the community. Muelc for Christinas.—Whoever Intends to g adden the hearts of hir family by pre senting them with a piano", melodeon or cab inet organ for a Christmas gift ought to step Into Mr. Metier's rooms and see: the splendid assortment of goods ho has on exhibition. "Whether you want a high priced one, or a mr dium priced one, or a low priced one, or a neat plain one, or an elaborate carved one, he can suit you for he has all styles'; and what Is more, you can have eight or ten different makes to se lect from. These instruments have all been se lected especially for the holiday trade by Jir. Mellor himself, who, everybody knows, is a thorough musician and competent judge of an Instrument, so that customers may depend upon getting the best that can be found. Purchasers will consult their interests by calling at M> Mellor’i, No. 31 Wood street, and "examining his stock. The Orphans' Pair.—The Orphans’ Fair will be this year, as it has always been, au un qualified euccess. Our citizens take especial pride In promoting objects ofoharlty, and the ofijeot for which this fair is hold has claims up on the charity of the community which none other could have. Laying aside this view of the Orphans’ Fair, which is the true one in which we should regard It, there are many other reasons why this money-making commnnity should patronize it. During the three nights on which It has been opened Concert Hall was utterly crowded, and the apparent regret with which everybody left the hall when the fair wae over for the night showed plainly with what satisfaction to themselves they must have pass ed the hours In the fair. Those who wish to pass a pleaaaat evening during the holid ya should by no means omit to pay it a visit. A Superb Present for s church, Sabbath sbifWlrdeigyman oqjmy relatioa-or friend, ft one of Mmm & Hamlin's .cabinet organa. The instalments are adapted to sacred choioh and home music, are elegant as pieces of furtltnrc. not liable to get out of order, and trili la»t a lifetime. The r putatlon if these celebrated instruments is so extensive and well established that little need be salcfof their ex celence. .A majority of the most eminent or ganists and pianists of the country have given testimony that the instruments of Mason & Hamlin excel all others of their class! The pri es* are very moderate, bringing them within tie reach of almost every one. A due assort aent ol them may now be seen at Mellor’s Mu fito Booms, 81 Wood street, brought on especi •Wy for the Christmas season, and to which we direct the.attention of our readers. Flsaisnt Re-union.—Upwards of two hundred orphans sat down to dinner yesterday (Christmas) at St. Paul’s Orphan Asylum,Web ■ater street, under charge of the Sisters of Mercy. Fifty boys frdin the male asylum in Birmingham were brought over to participate in the Christ mas dinner and enjoy the festivities of thlß great holiday. It was In a degreoa happy sight to view these tender tittle children, w.th their kind protectors, meet together and enjoy them selves, but It was sad to contemplate the ab sence ot the fathers and mothers oT those who would have made merry in their own homes end set apart this occasion for undisturbed, un-. ehjSsh festivity. There must surely be a great reward for those' who support and protect the lonely, motherless orphan. Hew Books and Hew Gifts.—The Metro politan Gift ‘Book Store, 6i Fifth street, has now on hand a complete assortment of Books, BlMss, and Photograph Albums, which for vari e • •• .prices and style, defies competition, Books o all kind. suitable for presents, Family and Pocket Bibles, Portfolios, Writing Cases, Juve nils Books In every verl ety and style, tn single volumes or lu easy.

The atores were crowded on Saturday night with porhhasers, most of whom were buying nothing else except articles suitable for holiday pzerents. This custom fs highly commendable in itself, and its effects upon the community fn general cannot be otherwifethah gratifying. We have •in a great many things departed from the cus toms of our grandfathers, but we hope that this good old custom will never be abolished.

ADMIRAL PORTER'S FLEET The, Attack on Wilmington. The Bebel Force at Wilmington Intelligence from Sherman. Foote and the Bebel Senate, GENERAL LEE TO BE DICTATOR. THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE, [ New Yobk, Dec. 25.—The World I thinks that Admiral Porter’s attach on . the defences of" Wilmington took .place yesterday. It gives the names of the vessels that are to Jle outside and shell Port Fisher; they are the following: Col orado, Powhattan, Wabash, Minnesota Susquehanna and New Ironsides, all mounting 201 guns of heavy calibre and long range, and capable of being fired very rapidly. It is thought that a few hours’ bombardment wonld reduce the fort sufficiently to allow light draught vessels to enter. A navaT fight is ex pected after the forts are passed. The pirates Chicamaugaand Tallahassee ate reported to be inside, and several"block ade runners have been armed. It is ru mored that the rebels have some iron clads on Cape Pear river that will take part in the action. The banks of the river from its mouth to Wilmington is supposed to be par tially fortified. The rebel force is esti mated at 15,000, and it is rumored that if has been reinforced from Charleston and Augusta. Many military and naval men think the capture oi" the forts and the closing of the river is the only ob ject of the expedition. No later intelligence has been receiv ed, from Sherman beyond that already telegraphed. Military men direct from Fort McAllister are confident that Sa vannah is already in our hands; at least the garrison can hold out but a lew dayß Sherman’s base is fully established, and he is receiving everything he desires in in the lifie of supplies and ammunition. A private letter from an, officer in Sher man’s army says: After the fall of Sa vannah the army will probably move to Augusta and capture that place as a new base of operations. The Herald says, editorially: Foote’s recent withdrawal Com the rebel Sen ate and accompanying speech indicates that the rebel administration is about to be overthrown and Gen. Lee appointed Dictator. It thinks that a Dictatorship 1 is a short road to peaee, anp intended as such The Confederate Government 1 being committed never to make peace 1 it brings into existence a power that can ' and will make it. < Sporting men say that Joe Coburn is expecting to make a match with Mace as soon as the latter arrives. The fight will probably take place in Canada. A gentleman who left Mobile on the sih inst says that two-thirds of the peo ple are hoping for the capture ot the city. There are about 7,000 troops there, all mililia except one small bri gade, and two iron-dads, both deficient in propelling power. The Tribune's Washington special says: The heavy gale experienced by Admiral Porter’s expedition may cause some delay and probably compel its re turn to Fortress Monroe. The sea sick ness waß very exhaustive to the negro troops. Vice Admiral Farragnt is expected in Washington to-morrow, when his com* bination commission as Vice Admiral and a Congressional resolution of thanks inscribed upon parchment will be pre sented to him. The World's Washington special says: The President has received applications in luvor of fifty different gentlemen for minister to France. The Herald's special says: The War and Navy Departments are engaged in ferreting oiit the authors of the contra* band publication concerning the opera tions against Wilmington; and are de termined to punißh them severely. It is feared that these disclosures may cause more loss of life than would otherwise have been necessary. The Virginia Legislature last Tuesday passed resolutions declaring it to be the duty of the Confederate Government to prosecute the #ar till au honorable peace can be obtained, and pledging Virginia to makg every sacrifice possi ble for such an end; that the power of making peace is wisely entrusted in the hands of the government, and the prop ositions of the enemy to any State to treat for a separate peace are insidious and inadmissible. NEWS FROM REBEL PIPERS Moblie & Great Northern E, R, Gui New York; Dec. 24 —The Richmond Whig of the 22d contains the proceed— ings of the North Carolina House of Commons, by which it appears that the resolutions-declaring that States in their sovereign capacity have a right to de cide question of peace or war for them selves, were tabled by a majority of two. The Whig says that several days since a raiding party came up from Pensacola and cut the Mobile & Great Northern Railroad at Pollard’s, 72 miles east of Mobile, and then retired from Gordons ville. It was reported yesterday that two divisions of the enemy's cavalry had crossed the Blue Ridge, under Chester Grass. They had arrived at Madson Court House, and were moving on Gor donsvjlle. We also learn that the telegraph wires were cut on Tutsday night seven miles from Gordonsville, as is supposed, by a Yankee spy. No apprehension is felt for the safety of Gotdonsville, even if the above re port is not greatly exaggerated, as there has been ample time to concentrate a force to meet the raiders. .0. S. VAKHOHN.

The adjournment of business until Tuesday, produced an indisposition to buy, and transactions are nominal at 221@821f. An interesting discovery has been made of the fact that some of the gold bags transferred in sale, have been tam pered with, and that instead of contain ing all gold, there have been mixed with the coin stones, old iron, new pennies and other make weights. The Commercial's Washington special bbye the weather is moderating, and the prospect is that navigation will soon be resumed on the Potomac. The Post’s Washing ton special saysthe latest advices from Canada render it certain that there will be ho trouble be- : tween onr Government and the authori ties of that province. | The receipts at the Internal Revenue; Bureau during the month of December,! amount to $20,000,000.

The acc imulation of the dis. change, together with the thickened condition of the mucous fmemßhine, "renders respiration tt>e nasal paaaagea very difficult, and oftenflmes impossible, necessitating respiration principally through the- mouth—a method very deleterious to the general health, but more pa#- ti-mla'ly so tothelunge, as tvillbeshown here, alter, the unpleasant noiae produced during the sleep known as snoring, originates from the same cause. The voiceloses its musical quality, andassumes a discordant, harsh and nasal char* acter; the sense of smell becomes much impaired or entirely lost, and the same though less frequent, is produced on the sense of taste. Oc casionally, while Mowing the nose, a crackling or babbling sound will be heard in the ear, and hearing wiU be found qnlte thick and stopped np, tut return auddenly with something ilka a snapping sound. This phenomena is usually repeated until, at one time, hearing dose not re turn, and remains permanently injured. Noises in the head of every conceivable deeoriptlon will make their appearance, and add to the dia treaa of the sufferer, and hearing may be lost so gradual!j' that a considerable degree o! deafness may exist before the person 1* really aware of eye& *** lobeedme weak, irritable and disposed to water on exposure to •cold or wind, or after tho slightest exertion. A pain, more or lets acute, or a distressing feeling of pressure is experienced over the eyes, ana sometimes on the top or back of the head, and also paia in the face, resembling neuralgia ior which it is often mistaken. Tho distress in the head weakens the memory, and produces irratabiuty and moroseness of dispotitioa. The stomaoh generally suffers moreor less, U weak and irratable; the appetite is capriofous. and is nearly always bad in the morning; Iff severe cases the system becomes feeble and prostrated, and there Is an averse or Inability to : ettlfer physioahormental exdftion.
