Ihaye been using one of your family knitting
machines for several months, and am much pleas

by hand. A lady can knit and finish, with your
machine adozen pairs Of hose in just about the
same time that is required to knit single pairby
hand, and with much less fatigue. n t'aD a'.+

A LM0ST every mail from far and near brings
N to us some new evidence of the great favor
and growing popularity OF this beautiful lnstru-
ment and abundant testimonials are constantly
reaching us proving conclusiyely that no other
Reed Instrument contains so many exeileneles as
the PERFECT MEL0DEON WITH BASS DAMrER
AND HARMONIC ATTACHMENTS, - ~ R .al .
The Harmonic Attachment is the mostvaluable
of modern improvements-by it the power OF the
Instrument is doubled without increasing It's size
or the number of its Reeds.
Our NEWLY INVENTED HARMONIC ORGAN
for CHURCHES, CONCERT and LECTURE ROOMS
has GREATER CAPACITY ANDPowER than any other
instrument made in the Country, considering
the price. l-afy e-F - ts rrs51.r hna 7

OUT OF ORDER than other Reed Organs, s5e.g-
Itcontains only HALF AS MANY REEDS as other
instruments of the same power, and consequent

Another entirely new feature in the Melodeon
enterprise is the PATENT HARP, or PIANO ATTACH
MENT, to the Melodeon.
This is PRECISELY what its name indicates, A COM
BrNAFIoN OF THE MBLoDEoN tAND PIANO FORTE,
and meets precisely the wants and desires of a
large class who have long been anxious to see the
two Instruments combined in MELoDEoN size. In
this unique instrument the MELoDEeNs or PIANO,
may be played separately or combined producing
an effect unknown to any other instrument, and
must be heard to be appreciated.

Piano Makers to receive from them regularly
PIANOS of the very best quality which will be sold
at less than Boston prices, 6J iw sggLm

New Article for q Bed.

ming q model Of the new Spring Bed, recently
invented by Mr., Thomas Tolman, of Fitchburgh,
Mass and Witch is 50 highly recommended by
those who, have used it in Lowell, Nashua,
| Fitchburgh, etc 1t looks like first rate thing
! tits made somewhat on the principle of a pair OF
belows--air tight at the bottom, with the eXcep-
ton of holes with l. cappersp over them to
admit the air when the pressure is taken from the
top of the bed. When the pressure is again made
upon the top, by amoyement of persons sleeping,
the :. clappersn close and the air is forced out
through the upper part or stuifingn of the bed,
Ewhichjs porous, thus continually ventilatng il
and Keeping it free from all impurities. The
Euphostry is set upon spiral springs, braeed so
perfectly as to render it impossible for them to
Islip out of place and theflling ismade of either
hair, moss, or prepared husks, as any one may
desire. 1t is certainly very perfect bed, and its

moved to Second street, and forthwith the

the Potomac, thus inspecting the nature

about Munson's and Upton's Hills and

cinity state that the rebels were but half
clad and worse fed, and most Of them with
out shoes. They had no money, but an
abundance Of Virginia shinplasters with
which they paid for their forced purchases
In deserted house on Munson's Hill
several letters written by the rebels were
found in which they state that it was
Gen Beauregard's intention to attack our
troops on the 10th of Sept.
Up to 10 o'clock to night everything is
quiet along the lines The observatory
balloon has been advanced to Upton's
Hill, mile and half this side of Falls
Church.
Considerable changes have taken place
IN the different camps. On Sunday a
thorough reconnaissance was made on Mon
sons Hill aud Of the surrounding country.
A newly constructed military road, three
miles in extent, connecting Mason's and
Munson's Hill, was discovered 1t was
located with admirable judgment for the
defense of a retreatlng force, and bore
marks Of the recent passage Of troops.

the rebels have any hope Of crossing, i &

seeing both companies march through

Washington, Oct. /.
Latest advices from Fort Pickens say
the blockade of Pensacola Bay is now
strictly enforced.
1t is satisfactorily ascertained that the
rebels have not lately sent any of their
forces to the Upper Potomac. They have
merely retired farther back into Virginia,
their lines extending from Occoquan and
Manassas to Fairfax Court House, Manas-
sas obviously being their base of opera
tons.

JEFF, rson City, Sept. 80.
There is no intelligence Of Importance
from Boonville, Georgetown, Sedalia or
Glasgow. No apprehensions are felt of
any immediate attack on any of these
points by the rebels. Allreports received
from Lexington corroborate the opinion
already expressed that the rebels intend
to keep their main force there, but it is
stated that several bodies, from 200 to
1000 have left there within few days
past for the north and west, but for what
purpose is unknown. Gen. Fremont pre-
serves strict silence, but he is said to be
actively engaged in obtaining the exact
number of troops he can command, and is
organizing plans for the approaching en-
gagement, upon the success or failure of
which he is to rest his reputation and win
or lose his ALL Every day an increased
interest is felt in the approaching battle,
for it is generally supposed that it will de-
eide the fate Of Missouri. Some persons
murmur at the delay but Gen Fremont
is determined to have every thing ready
before he advances and not TO strike a
blow before he believes it will be effective.
The opinion is becoming generally preva-
lent that the secesslonists ut Lexington
are by no means despicable, but that with
their vast numbers and ample ammuni-
ton, their confidence and courage, they
will make powerful and desperate re-
sistanee. The plckets Of Prices army
extend from Lexington to within about )
miles of Georgetown. They are stationed
very near to each other, and thus the in
telligence of all our movements is con-
yeyed to Prices head quarters in the brief
est possible space of time. \ Geographic
wire was laid this afternoon from the
headquarters Of Gen. Fremont to camp
Lille.
