’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. With sincere
••ssegard, I am yours truly,
Hiram Powers.

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. J. G. FOSTER,
Major General Commanding.
