Fogg was to procure paper with reference to
the estimation in which their mission is held
by officers of the army. A letter from Mrs.
Fogg has been received containing such pa
per, which will be found below. Itis explicit
and sufficient to commend the work of these
ladies' TO the confidence and benevolent CO.
operation of the community. From simarex-
pressions from many other officers in actual
service, we infer that they might easily have
increased the number of such testimonials. 1t
may be well to state here, that after their re-
turn to Washington they received from Mr.
Hathaway, the State Agent, commissions to
act in behalf of the State, which will secure
more ready access to the Regiments, and the
expenses Transportation. This is all the more
valuable, inasmuch as it has been won by their
judiclous and resolute operations, and is the
unqualified appreciation of officials who are
best qualified to judge Of the whole natter

Attempt of Slaves to murder their Mistress
and Family.
New YORK, Nov. g.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says
scouting party in the direction of Dumfries re-
port that they met body of rebel cavalry
about seven miles this side of that place, and
were compelled to retreat. They obtained in
formation that rebels reinforcements are con-
stantly arriving at Warrenton.
The Times has the following dispatch A
short time since Mr.. Carpenter of Ansumoy
district. Charles county, Nd, went one day
into Virginia to persuade his son, volunteer
in the rebel army, to return home. While
absent, his farm negroes, six in number, at
tackled his house early one morning, with the
design of numbering his family. They re-
tired, however, at the persuasion of gun
pointed at the crowd by Mrs. Carpenter.
These facts becoming known, the neighbors
assembled with the intention of hanging all
the negroes on the farm, but through the re-
monstrance OF their mistress they were finally
let of with thrty-nine lashes on the bare back.
These events occurred within sight of our
gunboats on the Potomac. The negroes in
that region seem to be fully informed in regard
to the condition OF affairs in the country.

Flag OF truce steamboat Young America
left here this afternoon for Aiken's Landing,
taking about thirty rebel prisoners who arrived
to-day from Baltimore.
Heavy cannonading heard up James river
last evening at 10 O'Clock. Cause unascer-
tanned.
The I'd mate and seven of the crew from the
burnt ship Alleghanian, arrived here to-day
from Yorktown, under arrest. The crew num-
bered twenty men. These eight were picked
up by The gunboat Monticello, and taken to
Yorktown. All of the rest of the crew are
missing. Nothing definite has been ascertain
ed relative to the destruction of the ship. but
the Investigations which will probably be
made, and the examinations of these men, will
no doubt throw the crime upon the right par
ties.
The Richmond Examiner of the 30th con-
tans the following:
Charleston, Oct. 2S.-Tidings reached here
this evening of the capture of the steamship
Anglia, laden with valuable army stores bourIl
to this city. When the Anglia left Nassau,
news had been received that the Yankees were
working night and day on iron clad steamers,
with view Of attacking Charleston soon.
Day before yesterday Yankee gunboat
came up York river as far as West Point, max
ing no stay, but gave notice that they intend
ed TO send up a large vessel to blockade the
river, and stop the rebel trade in oysters.-
They also say that the people on the Kappa
hammock river have not yet tasted the horrors
of war, and they intend to make them visit
shortly.

10Th at S1l 80 a gross
The Richmond Examiner SAYS: We have
been waited upon by several of the surgeons
who came up from Aiken's Landing Oh Tues
day, in charge of the wounded paroled prison
treatment at that point, il would seem that the
su1erings OF the confederate prisoners only
commence when they are released from Yam
kee thialdom. Their custody and care is
transferred to those from whom they have a
right to expect humane and better treatment.
In the name of God we hope to hear of no
more such treatment.
A man in Richmond had been sentenced to
wear barrel shirt through the city. and was
sent to hard labor in the fort for six months
for smuggling liquor into the city.
The Examiner says that the wagon train OF
supplies brought out Of Kentucky by General
Kirby Smith, was forty miles long, and brings
million yards of Kentucky jeans, with a
large amount Of clothing, boots and shoes,
and two hundred wagon loads of bacon, six
thousand barrels of pork, eight thousand
beeves, and large lot of hogs.

considerations which make it necessary that

the note, plaintiffs extended the time of pay
ment TO the promissor, without notice thereof
to defendants. The testimony upon this point
was conflicting, the owners of the note testi-
flying that no such agreement was made with
Humphrey, while Humphrey testified direct
ly to the contrary. The case was argued by
Judge Barrows for defendants and by Judge
Shepley for plaintiffs. Judge Walton in his
charge to the jury said that if the owner of the
note, for a valid consideration, made an agree

Fiftieth Annual Report Of the Female
Charitable Society,

remarkable coincidence i'm the history of
the Society which now celebrates its halfcen-
tury anniversary, is, that it was projected at a
season, like the present. of great public ca
lamity-the war of 1812-and for the pdrpose
of relieving want and distress, ocasioned by
that event.
A few christian ladies were prompted to
attempt, what was then, an altogether novel
enterprise. Some of these ladies still survive,
and yet retain their interest in the cause. The
favor of God attended all their endeavors, and
His abundant blessing has hitherto been be-
slowed.
In the language of an address to the public,
after the Act of Incorporation was obtained
in 1S25-"The object of this Society was to
assist the industrious poor, by giving them
employment, instructing their children, and
assisting with comfortable clothing those who
were incapacitated by age or sickness to pro-
cure it for themselves"
The "object" remains as declared in the
original Articles of the Constitution, and the
intentions of its founders have been strictly
fulfilled, with the exception of those changes
which time, and the improved state Of society
have required.
No imposing account is to be given of its
usefulness and success during long and pros
porous career Of fifty years, yet, the aggregate
amount of happiness and comfort, which it has
been the instrument of imparting, If fully
known, would be beyond all estimate.
The sum of thirteen thousand dollars has
been used in promoting the designs of the
Society-and with so much energy and pru-
dence, that small means have accomplished
great amount Of good Nearly six thousand
persons have been assisted in various ways
and many Others have been benefited, indi-
rectly, by the same charity.
The income of the society has been derived
from voluntary contributions, annual subscrip-
tions, interest on Bank Stocks and Railroad
Bonds, and by occasional donations.
The Officers of the Society are:
MRS. WILLIAM OxNARD, President.
Mrs. EUNIcE DEERING, Vice President.
MRS. MARY B. DowNER, Secretary.
Miss. ANN LOUISA LORD, Treasurer
And board of ten Managers, including the
above. n eEv1
The present unsettled state of our country
will, inevitably, cause want and distress to in
crease here the coming winter, as well as else
where For this reason, and on account of
the exorbtant cost of those very articles
which the society has been accustomed to dis
pense, one more earnest appeal will be made
to benevolent public for generous contri-
button. NJ. b. DowNER, Secretary.

A HEAVY Loss.-The ship Lafayette, which
was taken and burned by the pirate Semmes,
of the Alabama, was a fine vessel of about $50
tons burthen, and was owned in this Collection
