We met yesterday with a friend who
was in a ~quandary. He had read the
general order requiring citizens to report
the arrival Of guests. There had been
an arrival at his house--a stranger whom
he had never before seen--a name
less stranger, and he " took her in" lie
was sure she did not come from Dixie,
aud was not a rebel mail carrier or spy.
lie wondered if it was necessary for him
to report her. We couldn't give him a
satisfactory answer. The best we could
do was TO recommend him to call on Col,
MARTIN, the accomplished Provost Mar
shall, and he might not only relieve him
from his ~quandary, but bestow a name
on his guest and act as godfather at the
christening.

THEATRE-BENEFIT OF Mr.. s. T. 81
Movs.-The benefit Of the worthy treas
urer, Mr.. SIMoNs, comes off tonight.
SHAKsrEARE's immortal tragedy of "Mac-
beth" is the leading attraction offered on
the occasion. Mr.. w. L. SHERIDAN, rep
resented to be an actor of great merit,
has volunteered, and will appear as Mac
beth; Duncan, Mr.. Allen; Macduff, Mr..
Hamilton; Lady Macbeth, Mrs. Jordan.
After the tragedy, Mr.. g. II. w. DENT
will sing the favorite song, "Simon the

finest songs; he never fails TO sing it
with marked effect. Our charming little

pleasing incidents of the nights enter
taiuments. The amusing farce of "a
Kiss in the Dark" closes the night. 1t
is evident from this bill, that the bene-
nciary does not intend to offer his friends
a banquet made up of lean meats, indif-
f%eren,ly seasoned. He tenders then
rather a feast of "fat things" spiced will
such a variety of condiments, that al
palates must be suited. or course al
Of these friends will be there. II would
be distressing their good taste to dOub'
that. Let every body else go, and con.

AND COMMERCIAL.

In the good old days Of our boyhood,
vben o fellow-man "shufIled off this
mortal COLL" there followed a call upon
che cabinet. maker for a coffin, who has
rIy called his employees together and
,,, Them to work TO make it with the
Utmost speed. Such an order always
created a stir in the shop, and passers by
us,l knew what was meant thereby. A
cherry coffin, planed smooth and waxed
there was seldom time allowed for var
pish to dry-or a walnut; or a poplar
lined throughout with white silk. and
covered outside with black cloth or vel
yct. were chef douvres of the cabinet art
At that time. But the world and the me-
cbapic arts have made great progress
since that era. The old order of collins
have gone out Of use except for the very
moor. and in their place we have metallic
b,rial cases and Baskets. The manufac-
tpre Of these is now very extensive, and
compelition has caused much improve
mont in them since they were introduced.
Many Of hose made now are really ele-
cant specimens Of the art. CRANE, BREED,
Co., of Cincinnati, are almost without
rival in this branch of manufacture.
One of the most beautiful caskets ever
brought to Nashville may now be seen at
the warerooms of our tO%wnsman, W. X
ConvELIUs. 1t Is from the mandatory
of he above firm. 1t is an imitation OF
rosewood, and splendidly mounted with
silver-plated ornaments. These orna-
ments are out Of the usual line. On the
sides are rods the length of the casket,
tassels hanging at the ends. On the top
arc three sections of glass plate, the cover
of that at the head having on it a wreath
of flowers, and that at the foot a lighted
torch. The inside is handsomely cush-
ioned. The %vainest piece Of "proud flesh"
could not desire anything finer in which
to "slecp The last sleep"
Mr.. C~oRNELIUs has recently received
upwards Of four hundred cases and cas-
kets, together with a supply of other ar
ticles in his line. He has never been
better prepared for undertaking, and We
are quite sure his numerous friends are
pleased to know tina, he is meeting will
reasonable share Of success.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-At 9 o'clock
yesterday morning Maj. Gen. Thomas
telegraphed to the War Department as
follows: ssss ee
Gen. Hooker was attacked at 2 o clock
this morning, and a severe fight ensued,
which continued two hours, with light
loss. Hooker reports, at 7:30 A. NJ, the
conduct of our troops to be splendid.
They repulsed every attack on them, and
drove the enemy from every position
they assailed -
The Star has information on the 9th,
that brilliant movement was planned
and executed under the direction of Gen.
Smith, Chief Engineer of the Depart
ment of the Cumberland. Two wagon
roads, and the use of the river, as lines
of supplies, were acquired by the forces
at Chattanooga, thus relieving the COM
mand of Maj. Gen. Thomas of its chief
embarrassment. s
Gen. Thomas operations at the mouth
of Lookout Valley are spoken of as a
great success, and their brilliancy cannot
be exaggerated.

viii, during the early part of next week,
be eanvassed by lady solicitors, to obtain
as much second hand clothing as the be-
nevolent families there are willing to
bestow. The object being to clothe the
negroes-invalid men, women and little
ehildren-in various encampments in the
Southwest
The Government is feeding these un-
fortunate creatures, but makes no pro-
vision to elothe them Many of them
viii necessarily suffer greatly, or even
perish, unless aided in the manner now
being attempted
We bespeak for the ladies who have
kindly consented to engage in the work,
a courteous and generous reception.
If any persons will contribute, even
small sums of money, it will be expended
in purchasing coarse material, to b.
worked up into clothing.
