We had quite young Winter the
latter part Of last week. There was
q severe frost on Thursday and Friday
nights, killing whatever of vegetation
was yet alive. On Saturday morning
we. noticed ice fully half an inch in
thickness, which had formed during
the night. Most Of the crops were
nearly ripe, so the frost did but little
damage.

vessels have been fitted out by rebels and

some four thousand. This accomplished,
they intend, with the aid Of the released

Austbsr lIasaz,ss Discovered in FOrr

Wagner,
From the Norris Island correspondent
of the New York Times, dated October 8Isf,
we clip ths following, which we 90 not
recolleot 70 have seen elsewhere:
"On Sunday last, while Captain Eaton,
Of the Volunteer Engineers, was exsmin-
ing the Southeastern portion Of Fort Wag-
ner, preparatory to designing some altera-
tions, he discovered 3 magazine, which,
until then, had escaped the notice Of cur
men. The magazine is located beneath
the left bsstion of the fort, in the form of
g pit and Is reached by means of sta
tionsry ladder. When found, its roof was
covered with eight feet Of sand, supposed
to have been hesped up by shells thrown
from our batteries. 1t contained an i'm
mense amount Of ammunition, including
cannon prpjeotiles and prepared charges
for rifed mnsksts. There was also stored
away q vast quantity Of q peculiar kind
Of iBoendiary shell, the oombustible sub
stance, other than the powder, consisting
|of fluid which was readily ignited aad
burned with an uhquenchable fame. To
what use the rebels intended to apply them
does not seem apparent unless il was TO
fire the wooden vessels Of the feet. A
portion Of one side of the magazine was
occupied with shells containing several
thousand sand-bags, m sde from very
white, strong material. Perhaps one and
he chief cause Of the rebels so precipi-
stely evaeuatiDg the fort, was the fact Of
he sap building by the engineers heading
irectly for this magazine, which it would

pore. A tareful search was made for
use connecting the magazine with the
inside world, but strange to relate, none
ould be fOnnd, which affords one instance
any rate, where the enemy abandoned
g disbOlical plan Of numbering his ad
rssry, who in legitimate warfare, proved
much for him.

THE CHILDREK's CALL.-We take our
pen, not because we like It, but because We
feel it an indispenssbls dnty laid upon US by
the humane community, and particularly By
the Christian and philanthrOpic, the noble,
entsrprising, and benevolent citizens. II is
well known by many that during the Eve
years previous to our war, that ladies' sewing
sooistiss and benevolent associations took
pleasure in meeting together and making
garments for the children 10 the industrial
School. The letters and notes we received
told rs plainly their hearts felt for the poor
and destituts children, and such sympathiE-
ing actions gave life and fresh vigOr to our
teachers, as well as ourselves. These
we're no sham offerings. They Wsre
works Of true charity and benevolence.
from great hearts and pure spirits, and may
be in some cases sacrifices from their small
means. As we received them from time to
time, We distributed them with that response
biiity and association of care and economy,
which donations demand.
The Soldiers Aid Society, which has be-
come universal in its appreciation, has like
AsrOn's rod swallowed up most Of the chill
dren's crums. We appreciate, and too much
cannot be said in favor of soldiers aid, but
to neglect children who ara helpless and can
not extricste themselves from the miserable
influence that surround them, may lead TO
future trouble. We appeal to our citizens,
and only need remind them that their cast Of
clothing sent to the Industrial School can be
cut and made to ct children and keep them
warm during winter.
We have young men and married men also
whose business demand respectable dress
and their cast-Uff clothing would be appreei-
ated, considering the high price Of materials.
Ladies also would do well tor time and eter-
nifty to clothe the poor. We have no CON-
mittee to solicit cast-cf clothing. I is best
not, least any mistake or anything akin to it
should happen; therefore we ask that such
donation be sent to the Industrial School,
Champlain street, or a note sent by mail with
the proper address will be attended to by the
and the clothing taken from
their residence. We pray this appeal win
be noticsd, and have its desired effect.
We have some orphans and some half or
phans who have come to Us lately IN desti-
tuts condition, which make oar appeal more
urgent.
With great pleasure and gratitude We can
state tkatOur citizens are subscribing libsT-
ally and chserfuliy such mlterial for gar
ments as we may need to make up for the
children during the year. This is done by
the scholars in the industrial department
from week to week bnt this, our present ap.
peal, il for immediate relief for the com
menesment of the winter, and whatever calls
may be pressing elsewhere dc not neglect |
the little ores. R. WATERT0N,

there. Several days ago there were sus-

the authorities here had the requisite pre-.

a gunboat there, therefore the prisoners
couldn't leave the island if they attempted.
