In order to give our employees ;
an opportunity of enjoyipg Christmas,
there will be no paper issued tomorrow.
8e& The best evidence that we have
seeu or heard of the destitution of the
rebel army is related by a Kuoxvillo !
correspondent: tie Savs when Long- !
street's army approached the city, a fed- !
craisoiuier navmg we small pox was
left at the small pox hospital, about one
mile from town, in charge of a nurse.
The nurse, however, abandoned his
charpe, who died, for want of attention.
Afteytne rebel had retreated his body
was found in the house, but stripped of
hia clothing and blankets. When it
conies to stealing clothes from a corpse
rotten with small pox, it is time to con
clude thit the Confederacy must be hard
up for clothing.
From East Tennessee.
Among the passengers by the Tarascon
yesterday, we were delighted to meet Ad
jutant Pagty-of the 65th Indiana, now
detailed as a member of Gen. Shackel
ford s staff.
The Adjutant ia direct from East Ten
nessee, having accompanied Gen. Shack
elford to Louisville, whence he cornea
home on a short visit to his friends, on a
brief furlough.
From him we learn some further par
ticulars of the recent fight at Beat's Sta
tion. Oar forces held their position
against greatly superior numbers until
after dark, when they fell back to Blain's
Cross Roads, where they were holding a
strong position when Gen. Shackelford
and his staff left for Kentucky.
In the fight at Real's Station Alfred H.
Wood, of Company H, (Capt Horn-
1 . .i , .
brook's,) was killed, and Louis Webber
was wounded and taken prisoner.
After Webber was wounded his com
rades carried him back some distance to
the rear, but they were pressed so hard
by the rebels that they were compelled
to leave him behind, and he fell into the
hands of the rebels.
The health of the officers and men of
the 6'rth is generally good, and their
spirits excellent
SlBBATH ScHOOIV JOLLIFICATION The
Sabbath School children of our city al
ways look forward to Christmas Eve and
Christmas- with unusual interest It
would he strange if they did not When
they are favored with 'such streets as did
the children of several schools last even
ing. . I ' s
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the
children of Ingle street M. E. Sabbath
School, gathered together in their church
and spent an hour in singing several of
their beautiful hymns, and listening to
addresses delivered hy Rev. L. M. Wal
ters, their Pastor, and John F. Glover,
Esq. From the ebnrcb they marched to
the Engine House, on Ingle street. Here
their teachers and officers bad prepared
a magnificent supper. A large table
was loaded with all kinds of delicacies,
and the little folks enjoyed the feas,
amazingly, Their mouths and hands
and pockets seemed all to be full at once,
and many of them looked piteously when
askod if they would have any thing else,
because they had no place in which to
stow it away. At an early hour the
school was dismissed.
The Episcopalian School met at their
church, and proceeded from thence to
Masonic Hall, where a magnificent eir
tertainnient awaited them. As they
marched down First street they sang a
beautiful song, which attracted no little
atteution.
In the 'Hall were two large tables,
which seemed to groan beneath the weight
of luxuries, and a Superb Christmas i

with toys of every description, and at a
proper time was magnificently illumina

sight could not be imagined than such a
tree, surrounded by delighted children,
singing joyous hymns. The supper die.

BY LAST NIGHT'd MAIL.
Poc ahoxtas, December 22. To Gen
eral Hallcck: I have the honor to report
that I cut the Virginia & Tennessee Rail
road at Salem, on the 16th, and have ar
rived safely at this place witli my com
mand. At Salem three depot3 were de
stroyed, containing 20,000 bbU. flour,
10,000 bushels whea-, 100,000 bushels
shelled corn, 50,00 bushels oats, 2,000
barrels meat, several cords of leather,
1,000 sacks of salt, 31 boxes clothing, 20
bales cotton, and a huge amount of har
ness, shoes, saddles, equipments, oil, tar,
and various other stores, and 100 wagons.
The telegraph wires was cut anil bnrned
for half a mile. The water station, turn
table, and three cars were burned and
the track torn up, and the rails heated,
and destroyed as much as possible in six
hours; and five bridges and several cul
verts were destroyed, over an extent of
fifteen miles. A large quantity of
bridge timber and repairing material
was also destroyed.
My march was retarded occasionally
by the tempest in the mountains and icy
roads. I was obliged to swim, my com
mand drawing my artillery with ropes
across Cragg's creek five times iu twenty-four
hours. On my return I found i'x
- . f . . a -' O i j -1-
Early, Jones, Imboden, Pita Lee, Jack
son, Eichols and McCoustiu, arranged in
a line extending from Staunton to New
port, upon all the available roads, to pre
vent my retnrn.
I captured a dispatch from Gen. Jones
to Gen. Early, giving me his position and
that of Jack.son at Clifton Forge. 1
marched from the front of Jones to that
of Jackson at night. His outposts were
pressed in at a gallop by the Sth Vir
ginia mounted infantry, and two bridges
across Jackson river saved, although fag
ots had been piled ready to ignite.
My column, about four miles long,
hastened across regardless of tlif enemy
until nil but my ambulances and a few
wagons and one regiment had passed
over, when a strong effort was made to
stake the first brigade, in which they did
not succeed. The nmbulances and some
sick men were lost, and by the darkness
and difficulties the last regiment was de
tained upon the opposite side until morn
ing, when it was ascertained the enemy
seemed determined to maintain their po
sition upon the cliffs which overlooked
the bridge.
1 caused the bridges, which were long
and high, to be destroyed.'and the enemy
immediately changed position totne Hank
and rear of the detachment, which was
cut off. I sent orders to the detachment
to destroy the remainder of our wagons
and come to me across the river, or over
the mountains.
They swam the river with the loss of
four men, who were drowned and joined
me. In the meantime the forces of the
enemy were concentrated" upon me at
Callahans, over every available road but
one, which was deemed impracticable,
but by which 1 crossed over the tops of
the Alleghenies with my command with
the exception of four caissons which
were destroyed in order to increase the
teams of the pieces.
My loss is six men drowned, one of
ficer and four men wounded, and four
officers and ninety men missing. We
captured about two hundred prisoners,
but retained but four officers and eiebty
men on account of their inability to walk.
We took also about one hundred and
fifty horses.
Entirely upon a very poor country,
and the officers and men have suffered
cold and hunger and fatigue with remark
able fortitude. My command has climb
ed, slid and swam 353 miles since the
5th inst. W. W. Averill.

These Spectaeles ars a perfect preventative bv uss

Having had very considerable experience also in
cataract eyes, in adapting glasses te such vision,
would impress on the minds of all persons need
1"S glasses of any description, to apply for such
only to a regular Optician, making that his sole
study and business for years, hs alone being able
to know from the peculiar anatomy of the eye the
nature of tbedefect. whether arising from weak
r.ssof s ght, flattening of the pupil, or other
misfortnne occurring to the vision. The eye le
ing the most delicate organ, aud of the most vital
importance to the happinsss and prosperity of
man, should nsver he tampered with, either by
the individual or by those who, for mere profit,
take upon themselves the selling of Optical In
struments, and who know nothing of the anatomy
of tbeeye, or how to discover tbe proper glasses to
suit the peculiarity oi the different sights of those
needing spectacles. Thousands have lost their
Tislon entirely from not applying to those only
Qualified to know the different defect, in each la
ividual's sight, and how to remedy it by wearing
the proper kind of spectacles. I. Rittonberg,
having bad over twenty-five years experience as a
