1t is suggested 10 US that lease by tn,
Government of such comfortable country
places as Amelia Spaings, for the accom-
mediation Of such departments as are no
actually necessary in Riebnond, wOnlt
effectually relieve the city of several thou
sand of consumers, and, while benef tins
the remainder, wOuld iusure comfort, cheal
living, Comparatively, and tho RdVant8Gel
Of pure aIr to such consumers. We. cat
see no reason why the clothing department
which employs so many women, cannOt bt
removed TO the country without ietriment
TO the interests of the CoufedeIaCy. The
Laboratory, with it's several hundred Ope-
raIives of both aexes, might with equal
advantage be removed TO some safe and
convenient place, where, 1t necessary, tenn
porary residences could be erected for
them. Some of the sub-departmentS OF
the several Cabinet Departments, might
with the same advantage be similarly dis
posed Of The question of supply at the
places at which they become located would
very soon regulate itself; for it is we'll
known that the supplies of bread and meat
in the country, in many portions at least,
are largely in excess Of the local demand.
We give the suggestion. as it was given to
US, "for what it is WORTH"
THE TRIALS TO COMB.
From the Richmond whig, Oct ~.
Our citizens are aware that the coming
winter will be one OF unusual trials, and
they are to overcome these trials by spon-
taneous liberality and not by law. by mu-
tnal assistance and not By mutual gOHgiHg.
There is no restraint except that imposed
by their own cOnsciences, they are free to
give or withhold, as Pleases them best, be.
ing responsible only to their Maker and to
each other for the part they are about to
play in the trying scenes which must short
ly come. We think they may be safely
trusted in this emergency. Already there
are cheering indications of that true spirit
OF liGerality and good citizenship which
will do hundred fold more than any max
imum.
The Sentinel informs US that Messrs.
Haxal Crenshaw have sent one hundred
barrels of -four to be sold at $27, while
the price in the. stores Is from S65 to
$40. They promise TO the city all the
-four they have on hand and all the tolls
they may receive, nt Government prices.
Messrs. Tardy s. Williams offer to sell
all -four sent for sale TO consumers only,
without any charge whatever for commis
sion. Messrs. Dnolop, Moucure l. Co. OF

pointed for the Oity of Petersburgh, and
the Secretary OF War has instructed the
officers Of the Government to facilitate tue
labUrs OF these Committees. The Union
BensVOleuce Society reports donations OF
400 bushels OF coal, 200 cords Of wood, 500
cords OF wood, 500 pounds OF sugar, sun.
dry donations OF cash, besides $50 600 from
the City OF Richmond. The Secretary Gays:
"The city has relieved US ot much of the
expenditure which would otherwise have
been necessary, itself making appropria-
tiOns for the distribution of provisions
among the most ueehy and the authori-
ties, we undcrstnnd, intend to continue
these distributions" Tho Young Mems
Christian Association is playing IL noble
part, as usual. All the Churches and the
civic societies are supporting their own
poor to a great extent. There were no
beggars here last Winter, and with the
spirit which is now beginning to warm the
hearts OF our citizens, sustaining tue muni-
cipal and benevolent associations, there need
be no 6e2gerS here Hert Winner. Indeed, the
entire absence of beggars to the "starViug
South" was matter of constant astOnish-
ment to an Englishman who travelled
through the Confederate States some
months ago, and has just published an ac-
count of his travels in BtGckWOOdS WGga-
zine.
In this connection, we must call atten.
ton to the Ia:t stated by the trustworthy
army correspondent of the Enquirer, that
many of Gen Lees soldiers are without
shoes, and made the late advance TO Ma.
nassas and back again, through mud aud
mire, barefoot. These are our peculiar
champions. They belong to US and we
them. Several times they have called on
US for shoes, aud never yet have they call
ed 10 vain. Here is a chance for liberAIity
and no maximum TO compel it. Let us
show our brave defenders that, while we
are averse to compulsory charity, We are
determined to be rs liberal as they are
brave.
