President Lincoln's message will probably be
transmitted to Congress on the first day OF The
session. No copies Of this important document
will be sent out in advance; therefore it will be
telegraphed to the Press az soon as its reading
shall be announced. The object of this course
is understood to be for the prevention of pre-
mature disclosure of its contents, and to enable
the President to avail himself Of the latest Off
cial intelligence that may come to hand.
Members Of Congress are arriving every train,
and have already become quite numerous.

Your SACRED DurY.-On the 22d day of this
month, a. per announcement, the citizens of FL.
dorado and vicinity propose to meet at the Court
House in Hardin county with axes aud teams, for
the purpose Of furnishing the families of soldiers
with wood for the Winter. Never was a better
purpose than this cherished. The citizens of
Polk county should lose no time in initiating the
example set before them The wives and chill
dren of our soldiers must not suffer. They sho'd
have special attention paid to their wants.
They have superior claim on the liberality aud
kindness of our citizens. The husband and faith.
er has gone out to battle, and his family is ga
cred charge committed to our trust. TO neglect
this consecrated trust is to sin wsntenly and IN
pardonably. These families, in parting with the
soldiers 90 closely bound to them, have already
suffered much in the pang Of separation. Let
them not suffer in any other way. Citizens Of
Polk county, are you awake to the importance
Of your duty to soldiers families.-IStats Reg

PRICES IN TIE SoUTH.-A correspondent Of
the Chicago Times, writing from Lagrange,
Tenn. Nov. 22d, makes the following state-
ments in regard to prices of calicoes and whis-
ky down in Dixie. .f......
Great complaint is made in the North of the
high price Of cotton fabrics. Before the war,
northern women could buy calico dresses for
one dollar that now cost two. But this is tri.
fling compared with the augmentation Of
prices here. In such portions of the South as
are compelled to manufacture, OBTAIN from
abroad, or do without, calico dresses cost from
$l5 to $25. Cocheco and similar prints sell
readily at 81 Is per yard, and are taken
eagerly at ST. so. All spirituous liquors are
equally scarce and high priced. The poorest
'eommisssry" whisky sells at $50 to $40 per
gallon; and at Holly Springs commands $50.
Nearer our army lines prices of everything are
lower. Smuggling will 60 on despite any and
all regulations to the contrary.
Signs of an early movement of the army are
multiplying daily. and by Monday or Tuesday
at farthest, expect one or more divisions to
take up their line of march for the Tallahatch.
lie, via Holly Springs. Gen. Sherman will
probably cooperate by descending the Misssi.
sippi to the vicinity Of Vicksburg. A glance
At the map will convince any one that in this
case Gen. Pemberton will be compelled to fall
back to the neighborhood of Jackson, Miss,
without risking battle, unless his force
greatly exceeds ours, which do not believe
The Confederate line of defence would then
extend from Jackson to Vicksburg, with Grant
aud Sherman in front, our gunbosts on the
flank, and possibly an army from New Orleans
in the rear. In such case can the result be
doubtful! am no Major General, and end
my speculstions by saying, if any general en-
gagement is fought between this and Jackson, I
shall be surprised. ENTIRE NOUS.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA,

HALIFAX, Nov. 26-The steam ship Africa
arrived at this port at 10 o'clock, this morning.
The following is additional to the news already
telegrsphed from Cape Race:
Liverpool, Nov. 15-Evening.-The London
Morning Herald bitterly denounces the nom
intervention policy of the Government, and says
that the language of Lord John Russell's dis
patch mocks the hope and insults the memory of
halt 3 million of starving English laboring men.
The Herald then charges the British Cabinet
with abject patience and dsstardly submission,
in hopes to retain the Parliamentary support Of
the Bright aud Golden party.
The Daily News thinks Lord RusselTs answer
the best that could have been made without en-.
tering unnecessarily upon the discussion of the
merits OF the case and rejoices at having es-
capped from entangling diplomatic associations
with France.
ST. PErERsBuRe, Nov. 15.-The Journal OF
st. Petersburg contains the reply of Prince
Gortschakoh, and says that it is requisite above
all things to avoid the appearance of any pressure
whatever capable of chilling public opinion in
America of exercising the susceptibility of the
nation. We believe that combined measure
of the great powers, however conciliatory, #
presented in an official or oficious character,
would be the course Of arriving at revolt op-
posed to paci6cation, however France should
persist in her intentions Of mediation, and Eng
land should acquiesce in her sources.
Instructions shall be sent to Baron Stokel

NV YORK, Nov Pa speech made by
General Pemberton on taking command of
Vsn Dorn's rebel army of the South west is sig
ni6cant, published in the papers lately received
from New Orleans He begins by telling the
soldiers that though Northern man by birth,
he has raised children and owned negroes South
and will never consent to the social equality of
the white and black races.
AN, says he, no brawler, NO Gen. Lowell.
The General then expatiated on Foreign Inter-
vention by Europe. We want no interventions
in our quarrels. We must settle the question
ourselves or fail entirely.
The moment England interferes, she winds 10
our quarrel, and makes united people, and she
will have to fight che armies of the South a.
