army with, all the clothing it needed.
Yet we know and can prove that on the
oath day of November, some Rhode

others had to appear in cotton drawers,

this, men and women Of Rhode Island,

have gone to fight your battles, paying

That all might be true, and yet neither
Stanton, Halleck, or Meigs be to blame

A member of the Court remarked that

The same person said that Buell. was in

General McCook is made to appear in
a most unfavorable light, and it is said
the evidence will reflect as much and as
unfavorably on him as on Buell. Rous-
seau, Crittenden and Colonel Wilder, of
Munfordsville fame, are before the Com

RIVER NEWS.

The weather is now, and has been for
two or three days, very mild and pleasant,
with'strong indications of rain.
Our dispatches from all parts indicate
similar weather, and it may be that we
are not to have an usually cold winter
after all Heavy rains along the lines,
and especially near the sources of our
rivers, would be great blessing, and we
hope to hear of them soon.
The river is falling at Pittsburg and
Cincinnati, is rising slowly at Louisville,
and is about at a stand here with slight
swell in prospect.
The Lady Jackson passed down about
IL o'clock yesterday morning for
Memphis.
The Emma No. 2, very handsome,
new boat, loaded down to the guards,
passed down yesterday afternoon for St
Louis.
The steamer Cottage, recently pur-
chased by the Government, has been
transformed into gunboat similar to
the St Clair. She passed down the river
yesterday.

Police ITEH-A novel case for our
community was examined and decided
yesterday before Justice Stinson.
A woman went to the saloon OF Lo-
REM Duri, on Thursday night, to enquire
for her husband, when she was ordered
away by Duri Not manifesting a will
ingness to obey, Duri struck her a heavy
blow upon her head, cutting an ugly
cash on the side of her forehead For
this very gallant act, he (DurD was
taken before Esquire Stinson and fined
$25, the utmost extent of the law.
Duri took an appeal from the Justices

where he will probably fare worse. m

HSg- The HOLIDAYS are approachin

B2r The Holidays are approaching
with stealthy but rapid steps. The little
folks will impatiently count the minutes,
hours, and days until the momentous
evening arrives, when their little check
cred socks and stockings will adorn the
chimney side, to receive the munifcent
donations of st. Nicholas, their patron
saint There are many things that will
afford them as much pleasure as sweet
meats, without the liability to make them
sick We are confident an examination,
of the new and beautiful books brought
on especially for the purpose by our
friend JOHN HEALY, will convince pa.
rents, that they can there obtain pres
ents for their children which will give
them pleasure not only for the holidays,
but throughout the year.
Beautiful photograph Albums are also
to be obtained at HEALY's, and we can
think of nothing that young gentlemen
can select, so well calculated to give
pleasure to some of their particular lady
friends (or cousins, as the case may beg
as one of these magnificent Albums
We throw out these hints for those who
may feel at loss to know what DISPOSE
ton to make of their holiday funds.

How THE CHIvALRY PICK CoTToN.-
An army correspondent, writing from
Tennessee, says he saw in one field eigh-
teen "hands" picking cotton in baskets
" The field" says he, "was half a mile
from the gin, yet they toted each basket
of cotton to it from the field to the gin.
Thinks to myself if some Yank had
the running of the machine he would
have a team and wagon to do the toting,
and thereby save twenty per cent of the
labor to be used to better advantage in
picking"

trial Of Gen. Porter, written by Gen. Nc

Porter to give Gen. Pope all possible

letter shows that it was written several
days after the battle in which Gen. Por-

that support, and is open to the suspicion
Of having been prepared for the purpose
of counteracting the impression then
growing, that Gen. Pope had been sacri-
