Of age, some hurts received few years ago,

calls "the unnatural and unjust rebellion

highest terms. This order the President and
Cabinet carried to the residence of Gen. S.,
where it was read to him. He spoke to the

ALEXANDRIA. VA.

Great Storm-Heavy Rain-Rise in the River.
A severe gale from the SOUTHEAST, &C.
companied with rain, commenced early last
night, and continued to-day. The wind was
very high, the tide rose considerably, and
fences and trees were blown down. 1t is pro-
bable that the effects of this gale on the At
lantic coast, have been felt severely and
speculations as to whether it has been
encountered by the great naval expedition,
are common.
The storm ragged with great ferceness on
the Potomac River. The Washington and
Alexandria ferry boats were much incom-
NODDED, but made several trips notwithstand-
ng. The fierce rain, which stirred by the
wind, prevailed on the river side of the
houses, drove every one indoors on that side
and forced them to take shelter on the Union
street side. The tide rose, to considerable
height, and is still rising when we 60 to
press. A portion of fshtown has been sub.
merged, but as yet the greater portion r.
mains above water. The waves are break
ing over the foot of Queen and Cameron
streets. The foot of King street is submer-
ged. At Prince, the tide has slightly over
flowed, the rivers barriers. The waves dash
over the foot of Duke stseet-Wolfe street,
also, has been slightly trenched upon by the
waves, as has also a considerable portion of
the Ship Yards. The marshes, MOI tn end
South of the town, have been invaded by the
flood. Vessels in the harbor require secure
moorings to keep from off the wharves, but
We have as yet heard of no damage more Sc
rious than the floating off Of some stray tim
bers.
The United States flag, hoisted last week
on the flag staff at the corner of the Market
Square, was rent by the wind, and the ma
jor portion carried away.
The trees have been nearly stripped of
their leaves, and in all the wooded places
near by, streams Of whirling leaves meet the
passer-by.
Towards noon, the wind increased in vio-
lence.

We are requested to say that the proceed
ing before the Provost Court on Thursday,
reported in our issue of Friday, was not in
the nature Of an application for the removal
of the present Corporation officials. 1t was
only an inquiry into the general subject, with
view to an explanation of the position oc-
cupied by those who support the government
of the United States. That position was ex-
planned to be this: "That under what they
(the supporters ofthe government recognize
as the law of the State, the Corporation Off
Gals did not now hold their Offices de jure-
that they are only de .facto the officials and
that it was simply q question of expediency
whether their position de facto should be
made to conform to their position de jure."

as a committee to serve any notices upon the
officers, but suggestion that such would be
proper course to pursue.

Soldiers lth--Interesting Suggestions
 and Recommendations.

The following article, on soldiers health is from Halls New York Journal of He0tth It contains much valuable information for both soldiers and civilians:
 1. In an ordinary campaign sickness dis ables or destroys three times as many as the sword.
 2. On a march, from April to Novem- Der, the entire clothing should be q color ed flannel shirt, with loose buttoned col lar. cotton drawers, wooden pantaoons, shoes and stockings, and a light colored felt hat, with broad brim to protect the eyes and face from the glare of tue sun and from the rain, and substantial but not heavy coat when off duty
 Sunstroke is most eifectually proven ted by wearing silk handkerchief in the hat. ,,
 4 Colored blankets are best, and il lined with brown drilling the warmth and dnra' bility are doubled, while the protection from dampness from lying on the ground is almost complete.
 ! Never lie or sit on the grass or bare earth for moment: rather use your hat a handkerchief, even is great protection. The warmer you arc the greater need for this protection, as damp vapor IS lmme- diately generated to be absorbed by the clothing, and to cool you off too rapidly.
 6. While marching, or on other active duty, the more thirsty you are, the more essential is it to safety of life itself to rinse ont the mouth two or three times, and then take a swallow of water at time, with short intervals. A brave French general, on forced march, feil dead on the instant, by drinking largely of cold water, when snow was on the ground.
 '. Abundant sleep is essential to bodily efficiency, and to that alsrtness of mind which is all-important in an engagement; and few things more certainly and more efIectually prevent sound sleep than l, eating heartily after sundown, especially after a heavy march or desperate battle.
 8. Nothing is more certain to secure en-

Ny,.,rs rnrroas-The writer of tls article is ,riate soldier in the ranks; he has been without hi, sin jio over six weeks, an1 writes tonight iu the barracks destitute of books not even die tonary is at his command, besides this, he IS sur rounded by sick soldiers, who with brave hearts and willing hanls have volunteered thcir seryices to flo hattie in the glorious contest for southern ;o.lo,onJenee. Some of them have Leard the thnuIer's roar and seen the lightning Hash over half century. They have wives and children who are as dear to them as any lordiy arstecrat that hrooths southern air; at home they were men who were in every sense of the word gentlemen, and feasted upon the fat of the land. But for the man.
 tenance of that independence, won by tie Vaiof, watered by the blood and consecrated by the pray ers of a noble ancestry, have bid farewell to Wiie and children forsaking the pleasant enjoyments ot homo. and are now private soldiers, living upon dry bread and rusty bacon-at light they rest not upon downy beds of ease, as thcy did before their de- parture from home, but upon hard and dusty toor
 with but one inferior blanket and no coVeriet at all. Some of the soldiers have notevcn blanket and no pillow. save an old pair of boots and the peculiar oder by which they are surrounded springs not from Flora's garden. We do not state these facts for the purpose of securing paror in any mansion fer our reudezv0us--for we are cognlzant that soldier'slie must of necessity be 'ard one, but for the purpose of limiting that some things might be remedied. The writer of this article ob- iects not to being soldier or the usages ot sol dier's life, but when he sees men who, before the trying hour came, proclaimed in loud tones, that tLey would be the first ill ranks, now ankering around seeking some little office, and probably if they fail to get one, will return home to enjoy theif easel say, when see this, it brings shadow OCT my feelings In conclusion, l would say to the Anthony House politicians, go home- from our ranks, Colonel and Lieut.
