seventh day.

sons of the State of Kentucky meets at
Louisville on Monday next. Arrangements
have been made by which delegates from
Covington and Newport will be charged
only half fare on the mail.boat.
The Past Grand Masters of the various
Grand Lodges in the loyal States will meet
in Louisville at the same time, for the pur-
pose of taking some action in regard to the

being present at this meeting.
SUsPENDBD.-Work on the various fortifi.
cations around the city has been partially
suspended for several days past, on account
Of the weather, but will be resumed again on
Monday.
CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE PooR.-A promi.
nent citizen Of Bourbon County has written
to this city, asking whether or not certain
parties who have been receiving contribu-
tions from the citizens of that county for the
relief of the poor of Covington, and TO defray
the expenses of feeding the soldiers who pass
through this city, are authorized to solicit
and receive such donations. We are unable
to learn of any person being authorized by
the City Council to act in such capacity.
Certainly no one has been appointed to ask
aid for the purpose of feeding soldiers, as the
citizens of Covington have thus far shown
themselves amply able and willing to provide
dinners for all the volunteers that have passed
through this city. Persons in the interior of
the State, who are desirous of giving money
or provisions for the relief of the poor Of
Covington, had better consign the same to
some responsible house here.

PROGRESS OF THE CoNTRIBUTIoNs.- The
ward committees have as yet done but little
in the way of soliciting contributions for
the volunteer soldiers of Western Virginia,
but their efforts thus far have been very sue
cessful The committees of the Second
Eighth, Fourteenth and other wards have
already visited some of the citizens in their
several localities, and returned with their
wagons piled with contributed articles. In
the main depot, on Sixth street near Vine,
there are about three hundred and fifty con-
tributions. ....-,..
An abundance of quilts Several hundred)
have been donated, two or three hundred
pairs of socks, &c. Quilts are the main arti-
cles donated thus far. As these are chiefly
available for hospital use, it would be well If
more blankets could be supplied. Every
article, however, will be useful, aud the citi-
zens should give what they can best spare.
Some contributions in money have also been
received. The goods will not be forwarded
to Virginia till probably the latter part OF
next week. We have in our midst large
destitute population to whom such articles as
these would be very serviceable and neces-
ssry during the coming winter; and in case
there should be superabundance of those OF
either kind the committee will see that they
are properly bestowed.

Aid TO Volunteers.

HEAD. QUARTERS OF CENTRAL Committee,
VINE. STREETS, C1NCINNATI, October ls,J
To the People Of Hamilton County, CoUing-
ton, NeWport, and the adjoining counties Of
Ohio and kentucky: At Citizens Meeting,
held at the Merchants Exchange on Wednes-
day evening last, to take measures for the
relief our soldiers now suffering in the camp,
the undersigned were appointed Central
Committee to carry into effect at once this
urgent duty. We appeal to you for instant
aid. We need not multiply words about the
pressing necessity for prompt action. Our
gallant volunteers are actually suffering.
Without any experience fitting them for the
hardships and exposures of q soldiers life,
these brave men have left their accustomed
calling and comfortable homes to encounter
toll, danger and disease in the service of their
country and in our defense
Our Government, in situation so new and
trying, has not been able, in all cases, to
meet the absolute requirements of our soldiers
to protect them against sickness and cold.
Many of them are to. day in most distress
ing state. Frustrated by diseases incident to
the camp-without efficient medical atten-
tion, and, worst of all, without clothing adap.
ted to the season of the year. In this sick
and exposed condition, while winter is ap-
preaching, and the autumnal rains are upon
them, and they are among the mountains of
of the season are unusually severe.
A statement of these facts is sufficient. 1t
appeals to your gratitude and sense ofjustice.
We must have instant and methodical action
among ourselves for the relief of their neces-
sites and the committee take this method
of suggesting that meetings be called at
once in all your wards and townships and
organizations effected for a rapid contribution
of such articles as are needed, aaG that the
same be sent to the head quarters of the COM
mittee, with all haste. We suggest that the
different churches and benevolent associa-
tions take action at once, for the cO-opera-
tion of their several congregations and 80
cietiee, in this humane and patriotic duty,
and that they send in their contributions as
speedily as possible to this committee.
The articles wanted are all kinds of wooden
under-clOthing, blankets, mittens, socks,
comforts, cotton shirts, and, indeed, what
ever administers to the comfort or cOnVe-
nience of a soldiers life. Ifmore convenient
to the contributors, money will be gladly re-
ceived and expended in proper manner.
All that can be procured is wanted, and it is
wanted at once.
Fellow. citizens, we hope that each one of
you will consider this appeal addressed to
himself. There is hardly one of us but that
can contribute some superhuity to the press
ing necessities of our gallant army. We do
not share their sufferings. Let US at once
alleviate their distresses.
Contributions should be sent by the most
| speedy means to the quarters of the commit
tee at the Mechanics Institute, corner Sixth
and Vine.streets, where arrangements are
made for forwarding without delay.

WASHINGTON, October l9.--Bord Lyons,
several days ago, addressed letter TO Mr.
Seward, Secretary Of State, in which he
saws. "Her Maiesty's Government were much
concerned to find that two British subjects,
Messrs. Patrick and Rahmie, had been sub
jtcted TO arbitrary arrest, and although they
had been released, it could not but regard
the matter as one requiring very serious
consideration
Lord Lyons, under instructions, therefore,
felt bound to remonstrate against such ir-
regular proceedings as designated therein,
and to say that the authority of Congress is
necessary in order to Justify the arbitrary
arrest and imprisonment of British subjects.
Secretary Seward, in the course of his
reply, after detailing the facts 10 regard TO
the two prisoners named in the note Of Lord
Lyons, says; -
The proceedings OF which the British
Government complains, were taken upon in
formation conveyed to the President, by tho
legal police authorities Of the country, and
they were not instituted until after he had
suspended the great writ of freedom, in just
the extent that in view Of the perils Of the
State he deemed necessary for the exercise
Of that discretion. HI as well as his chief al.
visers, among whom are the Secretary OF
War and Secretary of State, is responsible
by law before the highest tribunal of the Re-
public, and amenable also to the judgment
OF MS country anu the enugnLeneu portion
ofthe civilized world.'
In conclusion, Mr.. Seward remarks; 1.-THE
whole safety of the people has become in the
present exigency the supreme law, and so
long as the danger shall exist, all classes of
society, the denizen and the citizen, must
cheerfully acquiese in the enjoyment which
that law prescribes.
'This Government does not question the
learning Of the legal advisers of the British
Crown, or the justice of the Difference which
| Her Majesty pays to them. Nevertheless,
| the British Government will hardly expect
that the President will accept the expana-
tions of the constitution of the United
States, especially when the constitution
thus eXpounded would leave upon him
the sole executive responsibility of suppress
ing the existing insurrection, while it would
transfer to Congress the most material and
indispensable power to be employed for that
purpose. Moreover, these explanations find
no real support in the letter, much less in
the spirit Of the Constitution.
"He must be allowed therefore, to prefer TO
| be governed by the organic national law,
which, while it will enable him to exercise
| his great trust with complete success, re-
ceives the sanction Of the highest authorities
| of our great country, and is sustained by the
| general consent OF the people for whom alone
that Constitution was established.

Buy GRAPES AND KEEP THEM-Thisf fruit
may now be had for dime pound. The
season has been favorable for maturing it,
and rich, luscious clusters are to be found at
every fruit stand. Some of our friends in
the country speak of making very large sums
off the arbors which, but three years ago,
they put up for ornament and to test the ex-
pertinent Of grape culture.
Buy grapes, again we say, and pack them
down for winter. Who does not know that
they will keep nearly as well as apples, and
that for dessert they are far better2~
A raisin box is as good thing to pack
them in as can be got. Place in the bottom
layer of cotton, then layer of grapes in
punches, then cotton and then grapes till
filed. A moderately dry, cool place is best
to keep them in. If too warm they will
shrivel up. If too damp they will rot. Use
a little common sense, and you can keep
grapes till February with ease.

CASE OF COLONEL GEORGE WASHINGTON
WAsHINGToN-1he Bogus Colonel and Geau-
inc Confidence Man. - Another military
genius has been eclipsed forever Another
glittering meteor has paled its light in the
heavens A Colonel in the regular army,
possessing rare military endowments, high
military position, and long military ex-
peIience, has fallen from his sublime status
of rank and honor to companiOnship with
vsgs and drunkards. The epaulettes are
torn from his shoulders, his complete mill
tary suit is dishonored he is taken from the
command of his regiment, and through iron
bars gazes pensively at the light of day. The
country is deprived of his invaluable
services, and his beloved Second is with
out a commander.

venerable Porkopolis of the nation, is turned
into another Richmond in the Confederate

to degrade a Irregular officer" as an "im-
poster ?"

the Court to be not only bogus Colonel, but

the Court on Tuesday next on the before
mentioned charge, provided he is not fur

that man who is not Colonel, is one, Hi
fate, therefore, may be regarded as fixed.
