As AN instance of the business enter
prise of this city, we would call attention
to the fact that the contract awarded by
the Government in August last, to the es-
Establishment of Mr.. J. J. Betz for supplying
the Volunteer Regiments raised in this
State with clothing, has been nearly COM
pleted. To show the great benefit this
contract has been to this city, as we'll as to
other portions of the State, it will be only
necessary to mention the fact that it has
given employment to over 200 persons,
many of whom, if it were not for this time
ly relief, would have suffered great distress.
The short space of time in which the I'M
dertaking was fulfilled, and the quantity of
work done-3,oOO pairs of pants and the
same number of coats-goes to show that
the traders of this city are fully equal to
undertake any contracts that may be in
future required for this purpose, thus keep
ing the money in the State, which would
otherwise 60 to some Eastern contractor,
as we'll as furnishing steady employment
to our people.

The funerals of Benjamin S. Terry, r.
Gibbins, ]. Colledge, and 7. Whetsler,
who fell victims at the battle of Birch Coo
lie, took place from the Jackson Street
Methodist Church on Sunday. The Ma

O'Clock NJ, and marched to the Hall OF the
Odd Fellows, on Third street, headed by
the Great Western Band, and were there
Joined by that order, which appeared in
full regalia, and from thence proceeded to
the Church wherethe funerel services were
to be performed. The ceremonies here
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Eggleston
and the Rev. J. D. Pope, the latter dellv-
ering an appropriate sermon. When the
religious ceremonies were ended the pro-
cession again formed and proceeded to the
Oakland Cemetery, where the body was to
be inferred. At the grove the Masonic
burial service was read by Past W.. NJ.
George L. Otis and W.. NJ. Merrill, after
which the Odd Fellows service was read
by Past Grand Strong. The services were
very impressive.

Terrible Marine Disaster..LOss of the
Propeller Bay State, with all on
Board.

From the Oswego Times, Novembe. 4.
The propeller Bay State, Capt. Marshall,
belonging to the Northern Transportation
Company, left this port about II o'clock
on Sunday night, with a full cargo of mer-
chandise, for Cleveland and Toledo. That
she has been lost in the terrific gale which
followed her departure, there can now be
no doubt; and it is feared that all on
board have met watery grave. The Of
ticers and crew numbered, in all, sixteen
or eighteen persons. As no record was
kept here of her crew, it is impossible to
now ascertain the exact number Seven
passengers are known to have been on
board, and in this respect, there is ground
est passenger list she has carried the pres
ent season.
Mr.. Orley Thompson, of Vermont-a
nephew of John H. Crawford, Esq, agent
Of the N. T. Co., ofthis city-was cabin
passenger-as was a woman from here
named Scruton, and her infant child The
other four passengers were in the steerage,
and had procured their tickets at some of
the lower ports. 1t is therefore impossible
to obtain their names at present.
Captain Marshall was resident of French
Greek, and we believe four of the crew
belonged to this city.
There can be no possible doubt of the
loss Of this ill-fated propeller Goods,
which were shipped on board here on Sun
day, have been washed ashore, and yester-
day afternoon and to-day cart loads of the
same were picked up. At the French set

GENERAL BUTLER SETTING TBE
CONTRABANDS TO WORK.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-A private let
ter from New Orleans says that Gen. But
Ter has recently taken possession Of two
large plantations near that city, and has
transferred large number of loyal blacks
to them for active services.
The number of fugitive blacks in the
Department of the Gulf is increasing at a
rapid rate, but by employing them in this
way, says the writer, paying them small
wages and charging them for their cloth
ing, the Government will be fully reim-
bursed for any expense they may have
been to.
