A RARE TREAT.--Having made 4 per-
sonal inspection Of the decorations which
the ladies are making to the hall, and
having heard from the lips of some Of
the moving spirits Of the fair. what is on
the programme for this evening, we feel
like speaking er Cathedra in respect to
this important event. The objects Of the
Fair are well set forth BY communica-
ton found in another place. But aside
from the object, the tasteful and indus
trious labors Of the ladies' unmistakabIy
promise that this will be the pleasantest
occasion Of the winter. No pains have
been spared to render it such. The walls
Of McCune's Hall. where it is to be held,
are deliberately adorned with evergreen
work OF wreatns, notices, &C., and in adj
dition number Of beautiful banners,
among which the flag Of the famous Iowa
Second. There will be offered for sale
variety Of useful and fancy articles,
which will be all the more valuable for
having been bought At Che fair. But the
chief attraction to not few 10 the sump
tsous supper. and the inviting tables Of
delicacies, nio-nAos and all manner 81
good things to b. served up in exchange

Let it be remembered that tonight will

ladies have been at . world Of pains to get
il up properly, and the least return that
our citizens can make for their weeks Of

their presence. Remember how prise

lief Of those among us who have suffered
by the war. Remember that We who have
peacefully rem aimed at home, owe many

ourselves, discharge this duty, a. on the

We are reminded that those who in

them early. Those who have milk or
cream to supply, need not be afraid Of
Cutting the market These articles are
particularly needed.

THE POLICY of THE WAR.


The Confscation Bill is now law,
which strips the rebel Of all his possessions
and stamps him as fcloa. His slaves are
ffeemen. Hereafter it is made legal for
the only loyal men Of the South, as class,
to help the Union, and our Com
manders are to employ them in
any capacity in which they may be made
useful Niger catching is at an end in
OH camps. Hereafter the duties of our
soldiers will be to pursue and ha1rlss the
enemy, not to watch rebel plantations and
guard negro quarters. Hereafter our gen
erals are to seize snd use whatever rebel
property they eau lay their hands on for
the uses Of the government, By the mill
tia drafting bill the humanity Of the blacks
is recognized. They are to respond to the
call Of their country as members Of the
body polite, and all thus serving arc tt be
freq, only the loyal masters to be compen-
sated for their slaves. We are to have men
enough for a sharp, short and aggressive
war, since the militia Law empowers the
President to call out the militia. We are
hereafter to punish the rebels and push
them to the wall BY the use Of all the
means Providence has placed in our hands
Now, indeed, may loyal men thank God
and take courage. Now well nay the
rebels turn pale, for their day of reuibu'
ton is at, hand The end is near. The
armies Of Liberty and Union will encom.
pass them about and visit upon them swifl

We, in common with the other true
friends Of the Union, are profoundly grad
fed to Congress for what it has done dur
ing the recent session. It's action reaches
beyond the present; it will favorably
affect the character Of the ne-
mendous contest in which we are
engaged, and make an era in our history
to which the historian will forever turn
with delight But in one thing it has been
criminally remiss- the legislation affecting
the currency. How members who have SO
clear 81 insight into the nature and prob
able duration cf the rebellion could have
consented to go home without having
passed sn act restraining the issues Of local
banks BY prohibitiye tax, and thus i'm
parting new value to the government
paper left in the channels Of trade, we
cannot conceive. Gold yesterday was
