firm is East every four Or five weeks and if
there is any new styles of cloths, cassimers
or vestings they are the first to have it,
and of the best quality. Persons in want
of the best article of clothing and at fair
prices had better call and examine their
endless variety of cassimeres aud vestings.
Their facilities for cutting and making
fashionable garments are unequaled in the

From Chattanooga.

New York, Nov 23-Ths Chattanooga
correspondent to the World, dating on the
18th says:
Will Bragg move upon Burnside, with a
portion of his forces, leaving the remainder
to resist an advance on the part of the Fed
erals Has he sufficiently fortified his po-
sition in front of Chattanooga to allow him
to do this That he might have done this
within the last two or three weeks had not
the situation changed is possible, but Gen.
Hooker's advance from Bridgeport settled
the supply question, and SO another move
ment has settled the possibility of flank
movement on East Tennessee. What it is
1 am not at liberty to say, but.it will not
be shrouded in mystery long if, as it is al
legged by some refugees and deserters, a
portion Of Bragg's forces have already
started on their mission against Burnside,
they must be Immediately recalled or the
rebel communications will be severed aud
the whole army will be threatened from
the rear.
Whatever movements m ay occur to com
pei Bragg to change his base, no genera
advance will take place till Chattanooga can
be made the base for supplies. To advance
with certainty Of driving Bragg to Allan
ia before that time will be madness That
place can only be converted into such a
base after the railroad is completed be-
tween Bridgeport and Chattanooga.
Events are taking place which may bring
on battle, but doubt it unless the rebels
concentrate all their armies and make a
desperate effort to regain East Tennessee
but it is certain they cannot take to the Of

A Night with the Ghost of Hilton Head.

The Universe is one great circle of ever-recur-
ring events: periodicity marks all the great move
ment, and even is plainly visible in the most
minute. The fashions of the world also return
with some regularity, and society is governed by
some unknown law around which it revolves,-
different periods of time are marked by peculiar
beliefs, and these periods return, rs Time in its
eternal march moves on. Ghosts are no novelty
they were once, real and genuine; the people firm
ly believed in their existence; this time has re
turned, we have reached that point in the circle
of life-the ghost period
In our cities they have been fashionable, and
the elite of the avenues have nightly enjoyed the
presence of ghost; why should they not deign
to visit this spot? why forget us in our lonely
= hours? They have not forgotten us, for few
nights since the sandy beach of Hilton Head was
impressed by the elastic feet Of such a sprite
The afternoon had been pleasant, the sun in
the blue vault of Heaven was partially obscured
by heeting clouds, yet his rays were full Of the

season: evening came on, and a peculiar sense of
dampness, gave signs Of an approaching storm.
Sol had left his bright glory, in streaks of mellow
light on the western sky and nature lay calm,
serene and peaceful, at this the hour of the dying
day. The evening passed as usual, save in my
ear the sound of some strange, magical music; it
had the harmony of the .Eolan Harp, waited by
gentle breeze DER the vast expanse of Ocean; it
had a charm, and held entrancel my senses, yet
with all its sweetness and harmony, there was
something of sadness and untold mystery in

resolved to investigate and solve the mystery.
My friend R. was well adapted for this midnight
scene, accustomed as he was to graveyards and
the paraphenalia Of the dead Che was doctor Of
medicine) he seated himself by my side; the
window still open: here We were in the silent
midnight, the wind had died away, the rain-drops
fell from the piazza, whils~the waves with easy
and gentle motion washed the beach; it was an
hour I long shall find recorded in the book Of
memory, dark and still all seemed in the midnight,
while thus seated, both gazing oceanward, the
sweet harmony began, and observed form OF
snowy whiteness in the dis:snce, moving grace
fully through the darkness; my friend the doctor,
the same instant exclaimed, do you see that? SEQ
what said I, endeavoring to evince no uneasiness
at the sight of this figure clad in the habliments
of the grave or of the spirit world; in breathless
silence we watched the sepulchral form; again the
mysterious song filled the air, and by it's magic
power, We passed into that land of dreams, nei-
ther spoke, both while thus sea d yielding to
Slumber
Just as the morning streaked the east my friend
awoke, and with sudden impulse siezed my arm,
arousing me from what sppeareaa stupid sleep.
In moment my friend, The doctor, began to
describe the image which last impressed him, he
spoke in fowry Language, As>~s with the peculiar
nature Of his warm and generous soul, he dwelt
in e1tacy over the beauty of the spirit form; des.
cribng the lovliness of the mystic song and re-
oicing DER the happy hour when the singer touch
ed the hidden harp.
I listened with amazement at his story, and
ere the sun had risen from his watery bed, We
were both firm believers in that ghost, which the
night before had charmed me with its music, and
produced in the doctor such extacy, contemplating
its beauty.
Reader, it is said that the same apparition pre-
sents itself at the midnight hour, during the tenn
pest and the storm, when the waves roll and dash
in all their fury.
