gentlemen who left Washington
Monday night, have reached this
city. The tale they tell is awful.
They say that no words can de-
scribe the terror, confusion, and
dismay which pervade the Rump
authorities. All the boats were
removed from the south side of
the river, and the draw of the
Long Bridge was raised to prevent
the army on this side emptylng
itself on Washington. But for
this precaution there would not
now be a Yankee on this side the

necessity of prompt action in SO i'm
portant cause, believing that in
the welfare of our seldiery, and an
abiding faith in HIM who holds in
His mighty hands the reins of uni
versal government, lies cur future
hope Of success and independence
cur final deliverance from the
CALLING yoke Of an oppressive bond

shoes, socks, and every article ne
cessary to constitute soldiers WIN
ter dress? II all Of them cannet

partment, and to what extent, with
each of the articles constituting a
soldiers dress?-the object of our

the fact that Fall is fast approach

cessity for the use of our gallant
volunteers, is goool srcolen scchs.-
There Is only one way IN which
this want can be supplicd-our
women must knit them. Here IN
Fayetteville there are many who
are ready to knit, but they have
neither the wool nor the wheels to
spin the yarn. No yarn can be
procured at the stores. Cur coun-
try friends then must come to the
-rasoue. Let them spin the yarn
and send tin to 7, G. Goodrich $
store and our ladies will go to
work. Lincoln county has eleven
hundred soldiers in the field, and
for their comfort twenty-five hun
dred pairs of socks must be made.

Preserving Fruit

The suggestion has been made

one.
