VILLAGE ELECroN.-The following are the
Borough Officers Elect. They we're elected by
a msjority of about TO- Oh. .-


Of the Psalmist-"I said in my wrath oil men
are liars might be adopted with peculiar per-
tinence and force, that time is the present, and
the individual afTording the best illustration of
its correctness is the telegraphic agent of the
associated press at Cleveland. The experience
Of each day only goes to confirm the utter folly
of,lookiDg at our teegraphic reports for any
thing like correct Information, aud the great
wonder is how the proprietors Of the daily jour
mails Of Cleveland can allow themselves to be
imposed upon, and their readers disgusted with
such reports as they publish from day to day.
If there are no other sources of Information
than the correspondent OF the N. Y. Herald,
from whom many of these dispatches arc taken,
and those of the W0rId, it would be we'll enough
to save the expense of telegraphing, aud avoid
an unnecessary wasting Of newspaper reputa-
tion. The outlay is worse than useless, and our
cotemporar;es of f-tbe forest city press will be
fore ed TO this conclusion, by tho shortening in
of their patronage. If thu y cater for US, they
must give us something that has an occu-
sional squint at reliability. or we shall be oblig.
ed to turn attention in some other direction as
the game seems to be about played out in this
quarter. II there is any remedy for this evil,
no time should be lost in applying it, as the
people are about tired of being played with
as they have been for the past winter.

icent in the OF knitting, it is recommended that
the old way knitting gloves with bone be adopted
(which is nothing more than the modern crotchet
stch) 1t is hoped that skilled In this art

of this place few specimens of gloves made IN this
way to serve specimens for less experienced hands
Gloves are as indispensable to the soldiers socks
and that the supply from the usual source IS cut

individual effort. Winter is fast approaching and our
soldiers suffering from an inadequate
supply of clothing Let every energy OF our nature be
aroused to No lady should be satisfied
with herself if she does not devote one half her time
towards assisting in the manufacture of the necessary
amount of clothing for soldiers. Who does not
shrink from the idea that when are seated around
our comfortable resdes brave soldiers are out ex-
posed 70 the pelting storms and piercing blasts of
rigorous climate in winter? Let not be through any

necessary supply of comforts. It will be sad reec-
ton that perhaps life has been sacrificed through

ArriUal Of an Aron-clad Vessel With Munitions

few days since received private intelligence of
important fact in all respects similar to the following
(Which copy from the Forsythe, Ga, Journal but
for prudential reasons declined publish 1t at the
time As the matter has leaked out at last however,
no futher harm can come ofits republication:
"Several days since iron-clad steamer, from
Liverpool with 500 rifles and Is cannon, blankets,
and clothing, for soldiers landed safe at Savannah.
The bockading vessel not in sight. This is new
steamer, incased with sheet iron inch thick and is
now the property of the Confederate States Our in
tOrmant saw the vessel himself went deck, talked
with the captain who told him that there were three
four more vessels of the sort the way and
as the steamers could be manned under the Con-
federate Government the blockade of Abraham would
be blown to the -four winds
'He said that the arrival of this vessel had caused
considerable activity among the merchants IN sending
off the coffee, tea salt, &c, to country merchants,
while these articles very high figure. He
heard the opinion expressed by knowing ones
that in less than forty days Rio coffee could be bought
in Savannah !2B cents. Large quantities are stored
in Cuba, awaiting the removal of the blockade"

SUFFIcIENCT OF Pork IN THE SoCTH.-Speculators in
Bacon will find that winter approaches their chances
for making large profits from that will become
precarious and that they will be obliged to betake
themselves to honest calling if they wish to
save their bacon" For some reason unknown, the
general run of people, spectators included, imagine
that everything Of real necessity is only to be found
and only be had in the North and especially is this
true in regard to meatstufS Heretofore farmer in
Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky would sell his
beeves fat hogs to the Northern Spectator, who
would have them slaughtered and dressed, and then
New York Philadelphia; and in due course of
time the meastu thus procured would find its way to
Charleston, Savannah, &C.. under the name or prime
Northern The blockade has put stop to this kind
of traffic and hereafter the extreme South will be
supplied through of railways but recently com
peted with meatStuffS direct from fountain sources
1t will doubt surprise many of our readers to learn
that according to the statistics of the hog CROP of
the United States given in the census report of $780,
the Southern States including Kentucky and Missouri
raised upwards of twenty millions of hogs against ten
millions in the Yankee States.

The Loss OF HATTERAs.--A great deal has been
said about who is to blame for the loss of Fort HATTIE
ras. We find in the State Journal the message of Gov
Clark and Report of Hon. Warren Winslow military
Secretary submitted to the House of Commons on the
9th of September in response to resolution of that
body calling for information the subject We have
been one of those who thought the State authorities at
Raleigh were very much to blame for the unprepared
condition OF the coast but the message and report
are bound to say, do not Justify such belief for ac-
cording to those documents the Governor and Military
Secretary did all they could do towards preparing the
coast for defensive operations If they to blame for
anything it is for not making known the people of
the State that their acquisitions the Confederate
Government were not acceded to. As matter of in
terest and in justice to those concerned we will publish
the Message and Report next week then our readers
may judge for themselves.
We learn that Gov. Clark is doing all he can to
defend the coast and is sending forward companies and
regiments as fast as they can be equipped He made
request recently, of the Secretary of War that few
well drilled Regiments be our coast promising
to send forward into Virginia equal number of new
regiments of North Carolina troops But the request
has not been complied with by the Confederate
ment. We suppose North Carolina is expected to de-
end her coast herself and therefore vigorous exertons
we are assured is being DONE and that liberal citizens
of the East aiding the authorities all they can by
private funds and force.

CONFEDERATE STATES TREASURY NOTES.-The Mobile
Tribune that the Mobile and Ohio railroad COM
pany has resolved receive the Confederate States
treasury and bonds par in payment for dues
The Charleston Courier states that the banks OF that
city have agreed to receive Confederate treasury notes
for payment, deposite and collection.
Mr. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury, gives
notice through the Richmond papers that Treasury
notes of the denomination dollars engraved and
printed by j. Manouorier n. Orleans were stolen from
the packages in ranstu from n Orleans to Richmond,
therefore any such notes found in circulation are
spurious.

EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-The n. Y. World
earnestly advises the Lincoln administration to
change its policy and exchange prisoners with the
Confederate Government, especially as many of
the prisoners are three months men who
entitled to their discharge even before they went
into the battle at Manassas. But it proposes
to confne the exchange to privates, excluding
officers Of course the Confederate Government
will never consent to this discrimination, which
looks to the treatment of its officers criminals,
and not prisoners of war.-FayetteviHe Observer.

PAY OF CHAPLAINs.-We agree with the Fayetteville
Observer that there should be complaint the
small pay of Chapains in the Confederate army $3.50

fees, gets only $I per month Chaplains ought to be
willing to make sacrifices we'll as other men, and

lain is entirely of place. minister can live and

enough, where would be our army? All classes must
