 The rapid approach of winter renders it necessa- " that our efforts should be prompt and energetic, and our inability to procure clothing in the usual market leaves us other but appeal to the patriotism and domestic resources of the country. Our soldiers are already in need of clothing. They will need them still more as the winter approaches. Is it right that they should be permitted to suffer while fighting our battles for us? We feel conf- dent that tue people will not permit this.

DIABoICAL OUTRAGE OF THE LINCOLN ITEs.-We learn that the Confederates, on their forward march subsequent to the bat tie of Manassas, found two Southern vl- dettes hung upon tree. Gen. Bonham immediately sent flag oftruce to the com mander of the Federal forces demanding to know by what authority these South ern soldiers were thus disposed of. There had been no reply at the last accounts. Should the Lincoln Government fail to make an unconditional disavowal of the |" damned deed," they may expect to ex- perience the law of retaliation-with ven- eeance !--RicAmond Enquirer.
