Detection <?•*: Ckimf, r.v Photo ’Geaj'uv.—The nyt of-a murdered woman eLu Florence, Italy, has been photograpk **E, and when inspected with a micro •sexope a dim, cloudy outline, bearing /souse aosemblauce to a human face, ap grasred in the picture. Many fancied ttey could trace in this a decided agree- Bi&uL in general outline with the face of ; the man accused of the crime. Hiram b Ahe Ameiicau sculptor, writes t^l^fsullowragletter about it: Florence, don. 11, 1805. JLisaj- Sir: —As a whole there is no face f:n 'the photograph taken from the eve of ttfce murdered woman, but there is the • appearance of mouth and chin, also ot sfeiitings, so to speak, of an outline (very -diet ki tlic upper parts, but : mre distinct dijL theEower parts) of a general human ■head. But, all this is so dim as not to be recognized, except in connection with the Kicyth and chin. The latter certain ly fee&r a strong resemblance to the sup- Kwsed murderer. There fir- i.o eyes; :md although there' i> sound tiing like a '■anee, it is out of place, atm should go for -Kitking. The absence Petal, of shad ws about the eyes, or, in. Iced, of any abdication whatever ol features about the ssKHit-U and chin, strongly affect the prob rd«!ky that this photograph gives to us nwything more than can be accounted ■for by mere accidental changes of forms *>f or oh the optic nerve.

Ad’t Gen. mar T—6 [Official.] Headquarters Department ok tits South, Hilton Head, S. C., Feb. 7, 1865. General Orders. > No. 14. ] The Major General Commanding being com pelled by wounds to relinquish, for the present, the command of the Department, takes this op portunity to express to the officers and men of the Coast Division, under Brigadier John P. Hatch, his approbation of their good conduct during the operations on the line of the Charles ton & Savannah Railroad, since November last. At the Battle of Honey Hill, on November 30th, although unsuccessful in the attempts to drive the enemy from his forts, the Division still maintained the fight with unwavering steadiness during the day, and retired from the’ field after nightfall in good order and unpursued. Their losses attest their courage and discipline At Deveaux’s Neck, near the Qoosawhatchie turnpike, on December 6th, the advance, in number much inferior to the opposing force, met the rebels in an open field, and drove them from the ground, captured one flag, forced them to seek safety in flight, leaving their dead and wounded In our hands, and thus occupied a po sition from which the Railroad was auder the easy fire of our guns. On December 9th the skirmish line forced its way to within a few yards of the Railroad and the foi ts which guarded it, remained there un der a most galling fire until an opening had been cut through the woods between our batter -163 and the road, and thus perfected the work so gallantly begun upon the 6th. The Division has obeyed all orders promptly aid cheerfully, and since its co-operative move ments with General Sherman’s Army, has vigi lantly watched the enemy at its front 3 has promptly seized each fortified position upon the first indication of a proposed withdrawal on the part of the rebels, and has thus inspired the Commanding General with the belief that it will continue to do so taithfully and well the work al lotted to it in the great campaign which is being prosecuted in South Carolina. To Brigadier Generals Hatch and Potter, who have commanded this foice, and to all the gal lant officers and men under them, the Major- General Commanding tenders his thanks for the oast, and his earnest wishes for their continued success.
