There was a good house at the Represepta
tiyes' Hall last Monday evening, to Hste
to the address OF Chslon +. Davy. Esq.
New York. on The subject " Some of the les
sons, duties, and expectations of the hour
Hon Paul Dillingham; presided.
The Speaker began with some general re
marks as TO the organic lite Of nations. AN,
then considered the foundation. nature. an,
character Of the Union. He argued that IN,
nation in order to live must possess not onl,
union, but coutripeta power. There must b,
not only law, but dynamic power to ebforc,
law But with a powerful aud lust govern.
ment, nations salvation depends. after ap
on the character Of the people. They musl
be intelligent and virtrous. Such people
as ruled New York with terror in July are
never capable of self government
The first great dntv Of the hour he regard
ed patriotism, in the labors which it accom-
plshes. He said that all loyal men. of what
ever party, must be united in the cause
There must be no pusilauimous peace. but a
noble, crushing war, tin the rebellion shall
be crushed In adhering to party, men lose
sight Of the cause, which gives no occasion
for party. Those men who have deliberately
plotted against the government will meet a
fate scarcely inferior in damnation to that O,
Millions fallen angels.

FROM WASHINGT0N AND YoIMrY

I Il.
The War Department has received dispatch-
es from Gea. Thomas at Chattanooga, and
from Gen. Burnside in East Tennessee. Both
dispatches are dated late as last evening,
when all was quiet in front of their respec-
tive armies.
Tho tenor Of the information from Gen.
Burnside IS such as to set at rest any possible
public anxiety relative to his situation.
Information from the Army of the Potomac
states that officers from the front report that
considerable body Of rebels shelled Kipat-
rlck's camp near Stevensburg yesterday morn
ing. It thus appears that some of the enemy
are still on this side cf the Rapidan. There
is a greas scarcity of tobacco and other art-
eles for the soldiers, in consequence OF prohi-
btion against suffers.
The Herad's army of the Potomac dispatch
Of the 9Th says de, erter from the 9th Ala
bama regiment in Ewelrs corps came into
our picket lines yesterday, who states that
the men in his regiment have laid down their
arms since the fghta at Rappahannock Station
and refused to serve any longer in the rebel
army They were ordered to be placed un-
dor guard but before the guard arrived they
succeeded in dispensing themselves through
the country and are seeking opportunities TO
come into our lines. lie represents that
very desponden feeling exists in the rebel ar
my Of Virginia, and a general belief in the
ranks that their cause is becoming more and
more hopeless as time passes. President
Lincoln has sent message TO Gen. Meade
saying in substance, e" ! have read your con-
gratuIatory order to the 9th corps. have to
say in reference to their gallant exploit at
Roppahannock Station, well done "
Gen. Fitzpatrick went down this evening in
a special train TO Washington.

NEW YORK, Nov. ii.
The Trbune's army of the Potomac dispatch
sava reeonnoishnce was made by squadron
OF the enemy cavalry IN the vicinity of Ste
veusburgh, which is occupied by Gen. Kill
patncks cavalry. Not more than dozen or
81 OF shells woro thrown on either side. and
on the advaIce OF our cavalry the enemy re-
tired. No one was mi jured on either side as
the rebels had advanced under the cover Of
Pony Mountain. My informant, a lieutenant
colonel who was present, believes the report
thar Gen. Fitzpatrick has taken Pony Noun
tain, 20 be incorrect. The railroad will be in
running order to Culpepper on the l5Ih.--
The weather for two days has been delightful
and the roads are 10 excellent condition.
The Iribune's Washington dispatch says
bets are made here to-uight that Gen. Meade
will 30 iuto winter quarters. From the front
We hear that the enemy present very strong
front on the south bank Of the Rapidau, and
have recommended picket shooting Our
men on picket find it necessary to keep under
cover, OF elso be made targets Of. fw
The Register Of the Navy of the United
States for Il s64 will contain list Of about SIX
hundred vessels, over two hundred Of which
have been built by the regular naval construct
ors Of the government, and Of course can
compare iavorably with ths best navy bait
ships ia the world.

pot in this village for = day or two past, and
the Improvements attached thereto (ior which

We a'e not much acquainted with the man

ford to do without these valuable improve

they can be attached to any circular saw mill
now in use, and Mr., Lane is doing largo
business in th' il manufacture and sale.
