Coronation Of shc King Of Prussia.

We learn by the foreign news that the king Of
Prussia was crowned amid great pomp, at kOn-
iesberg on the 18th ult. The festivities an
nounced to accompany this great event were to
continne from October 18th to 9th, without in
terruption. II is represented that nobody at BeT-
lin, where the chief demonstration is 70 be made,
was particularly pleased at the prospect before
since Prussia has witnessed the splendors of
coronation ceremony And no wonder, mas

programme consists Of succession of receptions,
han9uets. concerts, balls and courtlY devices for

on the 18th. The great day for Berlin WAS the

roval entrance into the city and be received by
procession Of mounted buTgleTs followed b. tue

Laaic. Curio.itr Gra,incd.

Thewar correspondent ofthe Charleston Courier

Frequently the ladies are in the habit Of vis-
iting the prisoners, but oiteuer from curiosity
than sympathy, Another incident is told Of an
encounter between several of them and an Irish
man.
1t had become matter Of habit with the

ural inquiry, Where are you wounded 20 and
accordingly when party OF three or four the

mouth down TO his ear and shouted again,

Pat evidently finding that if the lombard

In speaking Of this highly important conven-
ton Of the planters of the South, advertised 10
be held in this city on the 10th Of December the
jackson MississipPiaH says:
Heretofore, conventions of this character have
not received that encouragement from the press
and people which their manifest Importance de-
mands. Strange as it may seem, everybody is
ready 10 admit that upon the agricultural pros
perity of the country rest Its most vital interests
and yet a convention having for its object the
development and promotion Of the mechanical
and agricultural resources Of the country has
never yet attracted the attention or elected fhe
concern 20 which it is legimately entitled. We
trust now, however, that all interests in the Con-
fedeTate States will~see the importance of some
concert Of action among the planters of the South,
and that the approaching convention in Memphis
viii be well represented by all the States in the
COniedeTacy The meeting NAV be Of the
greatest value IN shaping to some extent the
policy 10 be adopted by our cotton producers.
It is important to have delegations from all the
Confederate States Without this the counsels
Of any body however numerous and talented,
win have but little intiuence. 1t is true beyond
all question that there never was time when It
was SO necessary as now 10 have the representa-
rives Of the great cotton interest in council with
one another. Our boys in the battlefield are
doing their duty nObly, the merchants have held
a commercial convention IN Macon Georgia, and
now let the planters, upon whom all are depend
ent do their part toward rendering our country.

our northern foes.

How TENS may be Dried.

A member of the Rhode Island Second writes
from Camp BrightwOod:
The cold has pinched US quite smartly,' so
that we not only feel the need Of warmer blank
ets and more Of them. but Of good fires also. The
need Of protection against sudden Geld, has SCI
the inventive wits Of our Yankee soldiers TO
work. A plan was soon bit upon. This Is the
description: A hole S dug in the center of the
ten, two feet in depth and diameter. This is
walled with stones laid in soft clay, and covered
at the top with the exception Of a small aperture
for the Introduction OF fuel For this aperture
there mnst be close fitting door cover, which
can be opened and closed at pleasure Across
one side Of the tent trench is laid and covered
with wood and earth through which the cold air
IS conveyed freely 10 the bottom part of this
subterElneau fireplace. From the top Of the
same and across the opposite side of The tent,
another trench is laid and carefully covered
with stone and earth, through which all the
smoke and surplus heat is carried off. This is the
whole machine. The merits of Il are obvious
II Is universally practicable X can be intro
duced easily into any tent OF dwelling The
economy Of it-it costs only few hours work
for three or four men. The convenience Of it
being entiTly under ground, It takes up none of
the precious room Of our small tents Iheutihty
ofit-it dries and warns the earth within aud
even beyond the entire circuit Of the tent, aud
thus prevents those damp cold and unhealthy
exhalations from the earth, which are probably
the chief cause of ill-health among soldiers.
The tents are thus also furnished with a moist
and genial atmosphere, the heat OF which can
be easily increased so as to meet the eNgencies
nf the coolest part of the season. To realize the
importance OF this, you must reminder that the
walls of our houses are only thin eanvas-that
they are so readily penetrated by cold or heat or
moisture. that the atmosphere within follows
rspidly the changes IN tie condition Of the
atmosphere without. Indeed, 50 far as this is
concerned, there is but little difference between
living under the tents and in the open air.

Federal Intelligence from Missouri.

From the st. Louis Democrat. 4th
From Mr. Elliott, resident of Cincinnati,
who arrived here last night on the Pacific rail-
road train, We gather some important and inter
esting news. Mr. Elliott left Warsaw on Satur-
day evening, at two o'clock. His fellow-pas-
senger in the stage from Warsaw to Upton
came through from Springfield having left there
of the divisions of Gen. Fremonts army weie
with him IN Springfield, except Gen. AlcKin-
stTy and Gen. Hunters, and both Of these had
received orders TO proceed with haste. Gen.
McKinstry, on Friday last, made a march of
thirty-three miles, and expected to be in Spring
field on Saturday evening. Gen. Hunter broke
up his camp at Warsaw on Saturday morning
and was met about twelve miles on his road 10
the South. 1t was thought at Warsaw that the
rapidity of the movements Of these divisions
indicated business at or near Springfield.
The sick soldiers at Warsaw, numbering sew
eral hundred were removed from Warsaw to
Tiptou on Wednesday last, in rough wagons,
but they got throughvery well. Large numbers
of them have since reached this city.
Mr. Elliot passed on his way to Warsaw last
Wednesday, and met, on his way to Upton on
Saturday, heavy provision trains.
He also saw along the route a number of
camps, composed of the Union refugees who had
been driven out Of the Southwest by the rebels
and were returning with their families to their
old homes
At Upton, on Saturday, all was quiet the
place and the government stores being guarded
by the Kansas lst. They were to be reinforced
yesterday by regiment from this city, which
Mr.. Elliot met on the cars yesterday near Jeifer-
son City.
Col. Mulligan got in the cars yesterday morn
ing at Sedala. and came down as far as Jeffpr-
son City. His wife and child, for whom it is
supposed he went to Lexington, were with him.
The gallant colonel was most cordially received
with cheers and hand shakings at the capital
At Franklin Mr.. Elliot on Saturday learned
from an amy officer that word had reached
Rolla on Friday that JEFF. Thompson with
struggling force of about 1900 men, was march
ing across the southern part of the State to make
6 junction with Price and McCUloch.
On Friday evening Col GeTshon Of the 36th
III nois started to intercept the aforesaid JEFF,
taking with him 900 picked men, of the Rolla
brigade, and battery Of six mountain howit-
zers, and fifteen days rations. The expedition
promises well.
Mr.. Elliott met al Warsaw. on Saturday al
noon, the 25th Indiana, which had been station
ed at Georgetown. 1t was moved on to Join its
division at Springfield.

those in arms against the United States are
about 10 participate in the election for the same
treacherous purpose, with the hope Of carrying

From the Dispatch, November a.
The rain here, though long continued. was
comparatively light, but in districts east and
west of us, the storms Were unusually heavy.
The rain commenced falling here on Friday
evening, aud continued an almost incessant driz-
zle up to yesterday evening, when it seemed as
far from clearing up as ever. The consequence
hes been another rapid rise of the rivers, sweep
ing of bridges and damaging tracks so materi-
ally that it was deemed possible last night that
no trains would leave in any direction. We learn
from passenger on the fast line from Harris
burg, that terrible rain storm swept over the
mountains on Friday and Saturday The Oldest
inhabitent had never experienced its equal in
lis recollection. The tracks of the Pennsylvania
Central were flooded at many points, and con-
siderable damage resulted from the washing
away Of the tracks, and all the trains after mid
night were delayed.
Fran the Gazette
The heavy and continued rains of Friday
night and Saturday have caused another freshet
in our rivers, and some appTehended q food
The rise was quite sudden, but the indications
last evening were that The banks would not
overflow. Several hundred barrels Of oil loated
down the Allegheny on Sunday, much Of which
was secured by men in skiffs. a barge laden
with barrels of OIL came in collision with one of
the piers of the Hand street bridge, and many of
them we're tumbled into the stream. We heard
of no other losses by the freshet in this vicinity
