half an hour to gallop along in front at

First came Gen Mccall with the finest
division on review. The regularity and
steady marching drew forth much praise
from the best judges on the field. After
they passed they fled off to the right
ana marched at once to their camp some
ten miles distant.
Then followed Gen. .Heintzleman' s
Division, which passed to the left, and
marched some fifteen miles to their
post. The Divisions of Generals Smith,
Franklin. Porter and Mcdowell brought
up the rear. and each was dismissed and
marched directly to their camp. 1t took
the immense army three hours to pass,
and the men marching one hundred a.
breast. Had they marched in the usual
form, it would have taken eighteen
hours instead of three. They moved in
the following order by batrslious
Gen. MeCsll's Division--Twelve reg
iments of infantry, two batteries, and
one regiment of cavalry.

We unhesi'atingly pronounce this the

manner in which such an immense mass
of troops were worked about in such

Ladies Benevolent Society.

In view Of the restitution and privation
which is already being felt, and which will
be still more keenly felt, among the poorer
classes Of our people, during the approaching
winter, number of our ladies have formed
themselves into Benevolent Society, whose
laudable objects are to relieve the wants Of
those unfortunate persons. Several meetings
have already heen held. and plans discussed
to carry into practical effect their humane
enterprise. Ono proposition is to establish
q soup house, such as e1ist in Baltimore and
other large cities.
A festival will be held in this city on the
10th day of December next, under tho auspi-
ces of the Society, tho proceeds to be applied
to those who need relief.
The undertaking Of those kindly ladies lie
most praiseworthy one, and has our undi-
vided sympathy. We say God speed you
ladies in your noble enterprise, and We hope
to see generous public second and assist you
in your good work.

knew could not succeed. He wrote the fol-

Alabama was raised in its place. cannot
restrain them now when writing; but the

all that can promise is that no effort shall

FROM executing this policy to its fullest

Those who desire any of the works adver.
tised will find il to their interest to subscribe
now in order to commence with the Begin
ming Of the New Volumes.
The London, Edinburg, North British and
Westminster Quarterly Reviews, and Black
woods Edinburg Magazine contain a COM
plcte reflex of every phase Of the English
mind, in Politics, Science and Religion. They
form choice library OF interesting literature,
of great value to the scholar, tho politician,
the Christian, and indeed to every mind in

We recommend these works to our readers,
and especially to young men. A few dollars

WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1861.
WHAT is SAID OF JEFF DAVIS MESSAGE.
The message of JEFF. Davis to the
rebel Congress was published here this
afternoon. 1t is regarded in Govern
ment circles as melancholy effort to
bolster up desperate enterprise with
bonibast and falsehood. Its wholesale
misrepresentation of the actions of the
Federal Government are considered only
equalled in cnormity by it's cruel con-
graduation Of the Southern people for
the plenty thoy nowhere enjoy, and the
progress in manufactures, for want of
which they are everywhere sadly suf-
fering. 1t is regarded, in fact. as an ad-
mission of disappointment. in all the
glittering promises of external aid that
were originally set before the deluded
South, and humiliating confession that
their king Cotton" 10 unable to rule
the world. Stripped of its empty bonn
bast aod glazing falsshood it is nothing
more nor less than complaint that the
European powers will not attempt to
break the blockade established by the
Federal Government, and undertake =
war with the United States in behalf OF
tho traitors. Indeed nothing else tangi-
BILE has been discovered in the message
Davis comments on the capture of Ma.
sou and Slidcll are the subject of ridi-
Guile in all circles here. In fact. tho
whole affair is considered too absurd
even to humbug the abused people to
whom it is addressed.
