ApvIcEs By GOVERNMENT MESSENGERS.

By the arrival of two government messengers,
who left Washington late on Sunday night, We
have intelligence from the National Capital AT
that time they report that no fears were felt for
the safety of the city, but the authorities were
anxious regarding Fort Monroe, of the reinforce
ment of which they had not heard. The mes
sengers came on to Baltimore as rapidly as posi-
ble, reaching there early Sunday morning; but
deeming it inprsdent to put themselves within
reach OF the mob which now reigns there, they
did not enter the city. The railroad authorities

Bennsts for November.

Bonnets are worn higher in front and
closer at the sides than they were In summer;
but in no other respect Is there much varia-
tion. They are very much ornamented,
both outside and inside, and there is talk
Of their being even more eXtravagantly
trimmed; but we hope good taste will pre-
vent this project being carried into effect.
Velvet is making its appearance, but at
present IL is not much worn, excepting for
trimmings thus a bonnet of white spotted
tulle was trimmed with q curtain of ame-
thyst velvet lined with white satin, and
forming narrow plait at the edge. On the
front, scarf of tulle illusion bouillonne, on
which was placed at the side tuft of hedge
roses, formed Of white and amethyst velvet,
with foliage frosted with steel color this
foliage is very fashionable just now. Inside
the bonnet bouillonne of tulle illusion, with
large bud of eglantine white and velvet:
white strings, edged with violet or bonnet
of the same figured tulle, trimmed with
bands of azuline blue silk, covered with
black guipure, crossing at the edge Of the
front and reaching TO the curtain, which is
blonde, the corners of blue silk, with small
wreath of moss rosebuds fastened in the mid
die with a bow of black ribbon, the wreath
inside TO match, and blue ribbon strings.
The crown and curtain of another bonnet
were of myrtle green velvet, while the front
was of white blonde, quilted. A band OF
black ribbon across the front fastening; a
yiolette imperatrice. At the side, large
aquatic leaves of green velvet. A bonnet of
szulins blue velvet, with an open edge,
trimmed with full blonde; velvet bow at
the side, the ends trimmed round with
blonde. A diadem of roses in blue velvet,
and leaves of blue and black mixed; blue
strings. A capote Of white crepe lisse, with
bias folds crossing at the top of the front !
thesa folds are made of deem red yellow vel
the side of a tuft of nasturtiums, in velvet,
and also of two shades. Another capote Of
green crepe lisse, with a plated cataline Of
green velvet on the top of the front, falling
over the white blonde curtain, at the side a
bunch of black fruit diamantes with very
light colored foliage.

A Dnring Exploit.

Among the many instances where the
bravery of our officers and men have shown
conspicuous, the one we copy from the Bos-
ton Gazette is almost unequaled;
Captain Spencer, aid to General Wool, re.
ceived information from two ladies, who
went from Norfolk to Fortress Monroe with
a flag of truce, that near midnight a six
cared boat was to leave Norfolk for Rich
rebel soldiers. He requested permission of
Major General Wool to attempt their capture,
and was told not to place too much conf
dence in the information received. Never
theless, permission was given, and selecting
two good oarsmen on whom he could rely,
with their oars muffled, he started at dark
and awaited the coming of the enemy's boat
He had previously given direction to his
men to pull directly for the boat, and on the
stantly. About midnight the boat was heard
approaching, and taking his station in
the bows, with a nine inch shell in
his hands, he gave the order to "give
way" The moment his bows struck the
rebel boat, he threw the she'll into the mid
die of it, and was himself drawn back, luckily
receiving no injury from the explosion. Not
so the boat and occupants, however, the
former of which was broken in two, and the
latter were scattered in all directions in the
water, not, however, before discharging
their pistols at him, two balls going through
his cap and three perforating his coat. The
men were then told that if they submitted
quietly they would be saved, otherwise he
would leave them to their fate. They pre-
ferred the former, and arming himself with
his pistol in one hand @ dirk (taken by
him at the battle of Bull Run from 'se
cesh') in the other, he took them in his boat
one by one, Handwriting them as they were
pulled in. In addition to which from the
stern of the enemy's boat, which hoated, he
took 81, 100 in gold and $4,000 in their worth
less paper money. 1t was with some difficulty
that he reached the fort, the gunwale of the
boat being almost level with the water with
its increased freight.

EMANCIPATION. - The order of General
Halleck, in regard to the exclusion of fugi-
tive slaves from the camps and lines of the
army, is in substance identical with the re-
cent proclamation of General Dix to the
people of Accomac and Northampton Coun-
ties, Virginia. General Dix uses the follow
ing language:
The military forces of the United States
are about to enter your counties as a part of
the Union. They will go among you as
friends, and with the earnest hope that they
may not, by your own acts, be forced to be-
come your enemies. They will invade no
rights ofperson or property; on the contrary,
your laws, your institutions, your usages,
will be scrupulously respected. There need
be no fear that the quietude of any ireside
will be disturbed, unless the disturbance is
caused by yourselves. Special directions
have been given not to interfere with the
condition of any persons held to domestic
service, and in order that there may be no
ground for mistake or pretext for misrep.
resentation, commanders of regiments and
corps have been instructed not to permit any
such persons to come within their Lines.

thoy should be forced to forege many of the
Iuxuries and some Of the comforts Of lite, they
will at least have the consciousness Of kno wing
that they are thus becoming more and more in
dependent Of the rest Of the world. He con-
cludes as follows:
While the war which Is waged TO take from
us the right of self government, can never at
tain It's end, il remains TO be seen how fhr it
may work revolution in the industrial system
of the world, which may carry suffering to
other lands as well as our own. In the mean
time We shall continue this struggle In humble
dependence upen Providence, from whese
searching scrutiny we can not conceal tho
secrets Of our hearts, and to whose rule we
confidently submit our destinies. For the rest
we shall depend upon ourselves. Liberty Is
always won where there exists the uncon-
auerabIe will to be free, and We have reason to
know the strength that is given by conscious
sense, not only Of the magnitude but Of the
Righteousness Of our cause.

TIE REBEL NAvY.-The New York Herald

intend going into the privateering business
in the future far more extensively than they
have hitherto done" Their 'navy" consists
of thirty. six steamers, sixteen schooners,
two brigs, and ono vessel classed as uncertain.
In addition they have twelve steamers, which
might easily be adapted for warlike pur-
poses, and twenty-five vessels which they
are now using as transports. Their force 0l
naval officers embraces nine captains, twenty
five commanders, twenty-four ieutenants,
six midshipmen, seven surgeons, three pay
masters, one. chief engineer, one FIRST assist.

Gentlemen just arrived from Washington,
and who had excellent opportunities for
getting into the secrets of that locality, state
that there is now the very best of feeling
among all classes in that city-that the off.
GERS of the Government are full of conf
dence that they viii be able to crush ont the
rebellion and re-establish the Union at an
early day-that general plan for most
vigorous and effective winter campaign has
been insured, and will be speedily carried
Out-a campaign that is sufficiently compre-
henSive to insure the re establishment Of the
Federal power in every rebel State. y The
reeens victories and other encouraging cir
cumstances, have inspired the departments
and army officers at Washington and on the
Potomac with great cheer and confidence
All feel that the day is dawning when this
civil war shall end, and peace smile once

country.

The crazy impracticables who clamor for
general proclamation of immediate and un-
conditional emancipation would wantonly
destroy our most powerful instrument for
restoring allegiance in tie seeded States. If
the triumph Of the Federal arms were to be
everywhere the signal of the certain extinc-
tion of slavery, the rebels would have moth
ing to gain and every thing TO lose by laying
down their Rrms. They would fight with
desperate energy to the last. But If the
choice is perpetlally presented between allie
glance and the retention Of their property,
on one hand, and rebellion and its utter de-
struction, on the other, the appeal to self.
interest will probably be responded to as fast
as the people are freed from the terror of JEFF
DaViss military despotism. A majority of
the Southern people have been drawn into
rebellion by the lying representations %
their leaders that the party which elected
Mr. Lincoln is party Of Abolitionists. The
chances of suppressing the revolt are much
better II the Government adopts suitable
methods for uhdsesiVing them than If it should
confirm the impression by proving it to be

The Rev. Hiram Mattison, who has been
connected with the Methodist Black River
Conference for the last twenty-five years, and
who is widely known as an able and olo-
quent preaehaF, has notified the Presiding
Elder of the Rome District of his withdrawal
from the church. He assigns as a reason for
this step the fact that he is unwilling to take
his passport for eternity from q church In
which there are thousands of slaveholders in
good and regular standing, and that, too,
without rebuke either in the discipline of
the church OF by the administration. 1t is
