from 4 Correspondent, of the Petersburg Express
Cotton Better than Wool socks for the Army,
and Way 10 Keep the Sol :iers' Feet Warm
WARREN Co, N. c., Sept. 4, 1861.
Dear Express ALL the circulars which | have
seen, both from Governors and Societies, in relation
to clothing for the army call for wool nStead of cot
ton socks for our soldiers, unntentional error,
which wish to correct. Cotton socks are decided
ly warmer, cheaper, and more durable than WOOL
Cotton is cheap and abundant wool is scarce dear,
and should be appropriated to clothing and blankets
for the army. Wooden socks are warmest when first
put on, but they soon excite unnatural amount
of perspiraton, which cannot be evaporated by ami
NAL heat, and therefore soon become saturated and
cold. Cotton ones invite uniform and continued
glow and no moisture than they can absorb
while clean. The truth and philosophy of this will
be manifest to those in the habit Of wearing india
rubber shoes. which create undue warmth, and pre-
vent the escape Of moisture. | am subject to cold
feet in winter and for many years have given both
kind of socks impartial trial, and shall send cot
ton socks to my sons in the army, although we have
three years clipping of wool 10 those who will
not be convinced would respectfully suggest that
they have the yarn mixed with equal parts of both
material in carding or strand Of EACH as such will
be more durable and less subject to sweat
To keep the soldiers feet warc, and prevent them
from taking cold, they should change thcir socks

ing Castle William, on Governors Island, was put
IN order to accommodate the Hattcras prisoners
The guns were in, and the ports, which have
been closed for many years, were cleared away, so
that plenty of fresh air could be admitted. Straw
mattresses of good quality were served out to them,
and at early hour they retired to rest after their
sea voyage. A good meal, consisting of beef and
plenty Of bread, was served out to them, each man
being provided with tin plate, cup and spoun.-
Their food will be nearly the same our soldiers
receive. Extra guards were placed in and around
the fort, and everything passed off quietly during
the night.
On Thursday morning they were reused from
their slumbers and then they piled up their beds
in the classmates and proceeded to the pump to per-
firm their additions. At six o'clock breakfast
served to them, cooked by men detailed from their
numbers. This being over they were allowed to
amusc themsclver best they could. Stakes have
been driven down at about sixty yards from the
CASTLE and no is allowed pass out inside of
them without being accompanied by an officer. Of
none of the prisoners are allowed that priv
ilege.
At Bedoes Island the prisoners occupy the
untenanted barracks inside of the walls of Fort
Wood, while Commodore Barron occupies small
house intended rs residence for officers.
He is under special guard, but is allowed the
