TIE nEL1EF PROCESSION.

We arc glad to learn that the far
mors of this township are making
preparations to respond to the call for
a grand wood and provision process
sion, to come off next Tuesday, the
29th inst. Every farmer who can
bring bushel Of potatoes, II sack OF
flour, or n load of wood, should bo
ready on Tuesday morning to join in
this generous and patriotic movement
for the rcliefof the soldiers families ard
the poor of the township. The most
remarkable success and enthusiasm
have attended these demonstrations in
other counties, 0nd our own farmers
will not allow themselves to be out
done in an effort at once so beneficent
and patriotic. We have assurances
from the army that there is nothing
which so nerves the arm and gladdcns
the heart OF the soldier, as the knowl-
edge that those for whom he is fight
ing are caring for the wants Of his
family.
Arrangements will be made by the
citizens of Lancaster to receive and en-
tcrtain those who compose the proces
sion.
The largest demonstration of the
kind of which we have read, was that
made by the farmers Of Franklin
county on last Saturday. A process
sion of 334 wagons, bringing over 5Ol
cords ofwood, and bushels Of pro7is.
ions, poured into Columbus. We cliI
the following relating to the proccs
sion from tho correspondence OF tho
Cincinnati Commercial;
On yesterday morning at an early
4, hour, every road leading into Colum
, bus was crowded with wagons of al

, good, dry, excellent wood, bushels OF
. bushels of potatoes, wheat, corn, but

f surprised at the magnitude OF the at
fair. They attempted to form pro

number Of streets, but it was impossi

CULpEpER Court HOUSE, VIRGINIA,
December l9.-Almost simultaneously
with the recent raid by Colonel Jones
through our lines, near Fairfax Sta
ton, an attack was made on the pick
ct lines of tho 1st Cavalry Division in
front of this place One Of our pick
cts were gobbled and their raid ended.
Recent rains have made the roads al
most impassiblc, especially for artile
ry. Citizens here tell us we are soon
to cvacuate their town, but no designs
Of such movements are apparent.
Credible witnesses, just from Rich
mond, state that our prisoners there
are better fed than their own people,
and much better than they would be
woro it not that the desperate straits Of
the citizens of the Cdntedercy must be
kept from our knowledge. Fresh beet
is now 81 per pound and fresh bread
So so per loaf, such as formerly cost
only 5 cents. The consequence is that
thousands must starvc or 60 into the
army and divide their ratons with
their families. 1t has been detcrmin.
cd by the crebels to conscript every man
between the ages Of fifteen and fifty
five, inclusive, for one last desperate
and decisive effort in favor of the Con
federacy. The attcmpt.will probably
be made upon Washington or somepor.
ton of the North. In this conscrip
ton, both negroes and whites are to be
included, and they are also to be
thrown iuto the same ranks together
unfortunately.
With this immense mOngrcl army
Jeff Davis means to iprecipato himseI
on Washington, Pennsylvania, or Ohio
-pcrhaps all three. Commanding il
person, he will endeavor to stimulate
the passions of these hordes by th'
most extravagant stories Of fancicC
wrongs sutferddiat our hands by th'
( Southern people, and by most fabuIou
promises Of plunder to be obtaine'
through the victories which shall b.
gain ed in Northern towns and cities.

course Of heightened review, says:
TIE PEsIDEST's MESSAGE.
President Lincoln delivers himself
in this document, with all his charac-
tcristic clearness and simplicity. The
rhetorical hourishshes aud sentimental
gcncralitics, with'which the later Pre-
sidents were accustomed TO stnif out
their State papers OF this class, have
no place here. 1t is the shortest Mes
sage we have had for n generation; and
yet, this year has been the most event
ful since the Government began. There
never has been " thousandth part so
much to spend words upon, and yet
there has never been 80 little indul-
genco in words. Abraham Lincoln is
one OF the few men who believe that
words stand for things; he economics
them accordingly.
The process Of reconstruction; as the
President puts it, is simple and yet per-
fectly effective. The mOtire to reas-
sumo loyal obligations is secured by
making it the only means of escaping
confiscation ofpropcrty and other pen
alties Of treason The act is secured
with tho very highest sanction posi-
bic, by making it rest on most en-
phatic and solemn oath. The effect is
secured by enabling those who thus
comply to revive and carry on the
State Government, just as soon as they
comprise a certain definite portion o.
the whole number Of the voting popu-
lation before the rebellion. Those who
are for the Emancipation Proclamation
are satisfied by the Presidents declared
} determination to maintain it until pro
nounced null by the highest judicia
authority Of the land; while those who
} have opposed it as an unconstitutiona
assumption Of power cannot complain
, for they have it in their power to tcsr
the unconstitutionality by an appea
at any time to that Court for q decision
Certain categories Of peculiar dye ar
, exempted from the benefit of the oath
which, of course, will meet tho appro
q, baton of every loyal man. Othe
miner provisions are made, to complet
the equity and. efficiency of the plan
+. We believe that the closer it is exam
ined, the more it will be discovered t
bolcompletely adapted to the great en-
, desired. The public mind, after du
reflection, we have not doubt, wi
- accept it as another signal lllustratio
Of the practical wisdom Of the Prcsi
:, dent.

nh. Entertainment at the City Hall.
The entertainment given at the
CITY Hall on last Saturday evening
by the pupils Of Miss Becliet's school,
was in every way decided success
The proceeds, amounting to some S9o,
were large, considering the price OF
admission, which was only 10 cents
for children of all ages. Considering
the short time allowed for preparation,
the success Of the exhibition was re-
markable,' the entertainment being the
best of the kind we have yet seen in
the city. Among the tableauX, " Ma
~, Queen of Scots, the night before
her execution" and "At the Excel
ton" "Morning in the South, and
"Evening in the North" were the
hest. and drew from the audience the
most emphatic expressions of approba-
tion. The Marriage of Tom Thumb,
was what the ladies would call "cute,
and delighted everybody, The decla-
nations by several of the young men
were excellently done.
The cxccllent music from Mr
Schneidcrs orchestra, which was fur
nished gratis, added greatly to the
spirit and pleasure Of the entertain
ment. Several pieces were also vol
unteered, before the opening, by th'
city brass band.
The exhibition deserves a more eX
tended notice, because of the pleasure
and encouragement it gives to tn
children, the qualification it affords t.
parents, and, above all, because OF tn
worthy object for which it was given
It adds some 500 TO the poor fund o
the city, and we believe the publ
would like to see it repeated Ih
price of admission might be Increases
without "injuring the cause"
