A correspondent of the Mem.

ton to the articles of wearing ap-
parel, such as winter coats, shirts.
socks, and blankets, which the pa.
triotic women of the South are pre-
pairing, to make their brave defend
ers as comfortable as possible du-
ring the coming winter. there
should be added the item of woole,
mitteaas. The idea is good one,
as the article is one that will be
found indispensable to the comfort
and health, and a prompt discharge
of the arduous duties that will de-
volve upon our soldiery in more
nortAerly CLINE than that to which
they have been accustomed. We
feel confident that the suggestion
will be promptly responded to as
possible. Southern ladies will not
be found remiss.

The enemy made no resistance to
the charge, but fled in confusion.
Sixty-eight prisoners were taken,

with great gallantry, and perform

prisoners were "double-quicked
four miles to Gen. Loring's COM

Richmond. Our informant says
the rank and file were mostly Ger

themselves as glad that they were

no heart in the campaign upon
which they had been marched.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.

At meeting held at the Methodist
meeting house on last Friday night, the
following resolutions were adopted, and
appropriate committees appointed. The
meeting adjourned to meet at the call of
a committee:
The committee appointed to prepare
business for the consideration of this
meeting would report the following rcso-
lutions:
In view of the dcplorable evils of in
temperance and the diff culties attending
lis suppression; and i'll view Of the fact
that the community, and especially the
youth, are in great danger from the intlu
cnccs and temptations thus thrown around
them, we deem it advisable to adopt
measures to prohibit the sale and use of
all Intoxicating drinks therefore
Resolved, That it ls expedient to ap-
point two committees Of three members
each, to visit all the places where intoxi-
eating drinks may be obtained, and use
earnest and decided efforts to persuade
those engaged in the sale thereof to cease
from the same; and the other, to obtain
signatures to u pledge of total abstinence
from all Intoxicating drinks.
Resozrod, That it is the plain duty Of
every one, and more especially Of every
christian, to put forth the most vigorous
efforts to arrest the evils Of intemperance,
and to use all proper means for the sup
preston of the traffic in, or the use as a
beverage of any species of intoxicating
liquors.
Resolccd, That it is the present and
imperative duty Of every friend of God,
of the country, or of humanity, to use
every proper and Legitimate effort to have
such an awakened sentiment on this sub
jcct pervadc the public mind, that rum
palaces, drinking houses and dorgeries,
may be speedily and eifectually banished,
not only from our own midst but from
the whole country, that society may no
longer experience the baneful effects Of
the accursed thing.
Resolced, That we do now pledge our
selves to stand by the Temperance cause
in every emergency, that we buckle on
the harness and engage in this glorious
work, till the fire in the last distillery is
extinguished, till the last stream of liquid
death is sealed up forever, till the burn
ing tears of the last weeping wife shall
cease to flow, till the last drunkard shall
be enabled 80 burst his fiery letters and
make a glorious accompaniment to the
song Of freedom by the clanking of his
broken chains, or We die manfully stri-
wing for this end.
Your committee would recommend the
organization of a County Temperance So,
ciety, and the appointment Of committees
to hold temperance meetings in every
district in the county.
