SAVE Your RAGS AND PAPER.--It
should be borne in mind by those who are
compelled to pay higher price for their
newspaper, that the increased price paid for
rags viii more than pay the cost. The
waste rags that accumulate in any family
in a year will supply them with good
weekly newspaper, and in the present high
rates for rags and waste papers, will leave
a handsome profit besides.

all along felt many doubts of the policy of
sending off Banks with 10000 men, when

Just after going to press last week. we
received letter from our correspoi dent,
"A. McC.," giving an account of the
Thank sgiving dinner of the Saxton's River
Light Infantry, but as he was mainly antic-
pated by I" L. c. d. last week, we omit
the most of it. We, however, make some
extracts. He says1
The tables were laid in our Co.'S street,
and we all formed around for the feast.
The Major, Sergeant Major, Chaplain, and
several other officers of the regiment, were
present. After an appropriate prayer by
the Chaplain, all joined in the grand feast,
amid good cheer and thousand kind
thoughts of the homes and friends we had
left in the old Green Mountain State.
When the feast was over, the Scriptures
seemed to be fulfilled as OF old, for the frag-
ments left were apparently more than when
we began. God bless the noble ladies of
Saxton's River, WHO furnished us this re-
past
In the afternoon. the Colonel invited the
whole regiment to a game Of foot ball. liz
this sport large portion of the regiment
joined, including many of the officers, who
mingled in the crowd on level with the
privaies. There were some battered shins
and sprained ankles, but all took it in good
part. Some joined in games Of base ball,
while others formed riggs and watched the
contests of champion wrestlers of different
companies, and still others laughed at the
meanderings of some of their comrades,
who had been blindfolded by the Colonel,
and set to walk at mark. In the evening
Il floor of boards was made upon the ground,
and with the blue arch above, and the moon
for chandelier, you have description of
our ball room. Some Of the companies fur
nshed one or two violins, a guitar and two
flutes, so we had good music. Satin slip
pers properly filled, would have been agree
able, but they were not there but you see,
we had good Thanksgiving ball, never
tieless. Thus the day.--old Thanksgiving
passed, tinged doubtless with
many wishes for those at home.
We are now in barracks and have very
quarters, and our company en-
joy general good health" A. Nee.

A Good JoI.e on the RebeIs.

When General Stills division left Frank
fort, the last thing they did was TO remove
The two monster cannon from their position
on the bills over South Frankfort, Some
Union men Of Frankfort, during the night,
went over 10 the spot and planted two emp
ty beer kegs in the placeof the cannon, aud
covered them with a tarpaulin. Ali next
day a lot Of Morgan's cavalry were scouting
around The kegs, but dared not enter Frank,
fort for fear Of being charged upon. On
"Wednesday night ''our forces" abandoned
the kegs, when, as we learn, they made a
bold and daring charge on the "tarpauIin
beer keg battery" and captured il without
tho loss OF man. The Captain acknowl-
edged that he had been ''sold by the Y anks, y
and it was not until then that they were
aware Of the fact that General Silfs whole
corps had left Frankfort. Then, as they
have always done, they pounced upon ar
Unprotected city. But General Dumonts
forces soon let them know that il was no
the @battle Of kegs" when he attacked them
It was these men and the two empty bee
kegs that kept the rebels from burning al
the bridges around Frankfort LOwsviR

MS working.

Already the effects of the proclamation
begin to be perceived. Nearly every piece
of intelligence, which comes from the South,
contains some intimation of the cousterna-
ton there occasioned by it. One item Of
news is that many of tho soldiers in the
rebel army are anxious to return 10 their
homes TO protect their families against ap-
pretended negro outbreaks. Another is
that the negroes already know Of their prom
ised freedom, and that the women aud child
ren in many rural localities, their natural
protectors being absent in the wars, are fee
ing to the cities forprotection. Another is,
that in New Orleans rumors of an unpleas.
ant character were circulating as to the con
duct of the slaves in some of the adjoining
parishes.
There may be exaggeration in thes'
things, but there is undoubtedly some truth
Rumors like these, coming from different
quarters at the same time, are not likely L
arise without some foundation in fact. |
already the leaven has begun to work, wha
may we not expect to see before the first 9
January next2 Every negro who show
lsigns Of insubordination, dedncts one frot
the rebel service, as he will require on
white man to watch him and keep him
order.
What conclusive answer to the objec
ion Of conservative and reactionary emar
cipaiiouists to the proclamation, that
would amount to nothing until Mr.. Lir
coins arms bad given him possession of tb
rebel territory. The moral influence of th
Presidents noble act has already penetr'
ted to some portions Of the South Phys
cal results Of no minor con-equences ma
soon be expected to follow.-S. Lou

An Enalishhan who left Richmond a.
week 400 and arrived here last night, brings
information, ofWhich some is new, and oil
Is regarded as tfustnoflhy. He has been
in prison siucc the 6Fsl q July, when be
was arrested as he was attempting 70 come
North. After frequent application through
counsel, be finally secured an unconditional
release, and was about week at largo 10
Richmond before coming North. During
his imprisonment be was at first confined
With DR.. Ruckes, who is charged with hav.
ing acted as a guide aud spy for tho Union
forces in Western Virginia. The rebels
aflerward put DR.. Rucker into cell three
and a half feet high, BY Ave feet long,
where he still is. He is miserable fed, on
what will Just support life. That he may
not kill himself guard is kept constantly
watching him. Our Euglishman was on
board the Merirnac No. last Friday. He
says that she will not be ready for service
for six weeks. One Of her engines had toe
small screw which had to be replaced
She is plated with railroad iron six inche.
thick. She is to carry eight guns, for which
she has eight portfolios, audtwo pivot guns
ut stem aud stern, for each Of which she
has three port holes. She is sharp at botf
ends, and has sharp saw at the bows
This refugee saws there are very few sold
iers at Richmond, almost all hitherto Their
having been sent forward to General Lee
Even some who were awaiting trial for for
giug muster rolls, aud for other degrading
offences, and other who were imprisoned
for repeated desertions, had been hurried tC
swell the ranks Of the Rebel Potomac army
This Englishman thinks that Northern
General who should capture Richmond
would be welcomed by nearly two-tbirds Q
the citizens. He says it is the large negr
owners and ncgrc dealers who are for tn
rebellion heartily. -~.f .,...ta
A balEmoou Of Notifications surround
Richmond at the distance, on the average
Of half a mile from the city. These work
are not regularly mounted with guns; fe,
only, aud those Of inferior caliber, are i
position at long intervals. Citizens an
negroes arc, however, now laboring wit
great energy in erecting second line {
works FIVE miles out from the city. Who
ever, in Virginia, uses the word 'rebel" j
speaking Of an inhabitant Of the Confedel
ate States, suffers six months imprisonmer
at hard labor. An English born citize
was so punished few months ago. Mr.
Dridlam, the British Consul in Canada, anC
his substitute, the acting consul, is in sym
pathy with the South, having been interest
ed in heavy contracts for the importation o
supplies cootraband Of war. He is much
complained Of by British subjects for no
protecting their rights when they eoDAic
with rebel interests.
