Item. from sestAsra Sources.

WASHINGTON, Sept, %.
The Richmond Examiner of Wednesday
says; "No news of interest from any quar-
ter yesterday. Lincoln's campaign, whibh was
to have crushed the Confeleracy, hangs fire
at season most favorable to active military
operations. We, however, with certainly ex-
pect bis armies to be again Fepulsed before
next snow"
The Examiner says: "There was rumor
current last night, that Maj. Gen. Robert
Rhodes was killed in the Valley, and that his
body had reached Staunton. We did not
learn whether he was killed in battle or
skirmish, nor any particulars"
The Examiner publishes an account Of a
Yankee raid into Orange County on Monday.
1t says: The raiding party was about 500.
strong. They came down through Culpepper,
and on Monday morning arrived at the Or
ange & Alexannria bridge over the Rapidan,
which they attempted to destroy, but the tim
bers were green and the damage was trifing.
The raiders then crossed the haspidan into Or
ange and burnt Holidays mills, containing q
large quantity of wheat belonging to the rail-
road company. They then started for Orange
Court House, but had proceeded but about
two miles when they were ambuscaded by
some of our infantry, who captured forty and
killed fifteen, and drove the rest heller SHELTER
over the Rapidan and into Oulpepper. The
raiders are now making tracks for Alexan-
dria"
In the city council Mr.. Scott presented a
resolution to offer reward of 81 600 for the
detection of the incend aries engaged in kind
ling the fires which are now Of nightly occur
renee ip Richmond
A letter from Camden County, N. O., says:
" The Yankees have just made raid out
here, committing the most fendish acts o.
cruelty on our people,"
The Examiner complains that "there are
citizens of Winchester and the neiebbo1hood
calling themselves Confederates, who refuse to
supply Early's oommissaries and quartermas-
tiers With food for man or horse except on
terms Of being paid in Ressenden's greenback
paper, and utterly refused to sell to the So.
diers an egg or apple for any quantity Of pa
per which serves rs for money in this coun.
try"
The same paper fays: "The reports from
all over Texas, of the corn and grain crops
are that they are exceedingly favorable. VERY
| heavy crops have been made, heavier, indeed
| than ever before known.
The Charleston Mercury Of the 18th says
"The enemy's bombardment of the city yes
terday was quite brisk, about forty shells hav
ing been thrown. An old negro wamap kille'
was the only victim.
There was the usual exchange of shots be
tween the hostile batteries in the harbor, bu
nothing worthy Of special note.
There will, we understand, be another com
murication with the enemy by flag of true
on Monday next"

The Latest Paris Novelty.

a good ,oord for Faslion.--To -day the mil
liners of the city exhibited their fall and win
ter styles OF hunnets. turbans, Jockey and 9TH
er hats, and the show has been as fine as us
ual
The most prominent feature of the exhibit
ton is an entire change in the shape of ladies'
hats. The large crown and front are to be
worn no longer. There are no more capes nor
masses of trimmings; and the body of The hat
is reduced nearly or quite one hall,
The new style OF hat is novelty; 1t COM
bines the qualities of head dress and bonnet
is adapted to the style in which the hair is
now generally worn; and will no doubt be
popular with the ladies'.
The materials generally used are the same
as in other years-silk and velvit, With some
satin.
The change of fashion has 10 this case prov
ed real blessing to the public, if new hats
must neeessarially take she place OF those now
worn. The prices oil goods have doubled with
in q year, and the value OF ladies' hats OF the
dimensions which ruled last winter, would
have placed.a good article in that department
Of dress almost beyond the reach of the mas
ses.
There is little that is new in colors. Black
white, green and blue, and all regular co!ors
are employed. There is shade of green and
another of violet, both of which are pretty.
The style does not admit of much trimming
the sloping crowns of the new bonnetts re-
quire but little; and even the amount of face
trimming is reduced.
There is decided novelty in trimming

Clothing Manufacturing.

Mr.. VIM. H. Deering has contract for
making 100000 pairs of army drawers. to fill
which he is employing hundreds of persons in
the various departments of manufacturing.
Ten or fifteen men are cutting all the tin e,
before whom "heaps" Of cloth vanish in
day. His rooms on Free Street are one of IL Q
best representations of beehive that can lie
found. nhi
Messrs. Rollins, Bond & Lewis have taken
tue large store in Evans building, formerly
occupied by Mr.. Josiah Burleigh, where their
facilities for business have much increased,
and we have no doubt they will do a large
business.
The store on Fore Street, formerly occupied
by Lewis & Smith, is now occupied by Mr. A.
NJ. Smith, who has made large addition to
his stock, and is prepared for wholesale or re-
tail business. His stock of overcoats is large
and of the best quality. Eo
Mr. E. C. Stevens, ON Middle Street, Is the
Oldest clothing manufacturer in the city. He
has been in his present locality over thirty
years, and occupied other places some ten
years before. One of his sons is now in com
pany with him, and they are doing quite
large business. Mr. Stevens ranks among the
successful business men of our city.

shed, costliness and agonies of war, and earn
estly pray for peace, we yet deem a cessation
of hostilities which leaves it unsettled wheth-
er treason is to be rebuked or petted and fon-
died, a delusion and a snare. If followed by
attempts to bride traitors to return to a nomi-

armies for Union and order, it would show
such dastardly perfidy in our Government as
would call down on our nation the stern dis
pleasure OF righteous God, and condemna-
ton from all good men. Such attempts would
sound the knell of our Union, aad the ship
wreck of our country.
The fourth resolution awards the need Of
praise to our commanders on land and sea,
and tenders especial thanks to our common
soldiers and sailors. The last recognizes the
power of earnest prayer Most reverently

may be done in our lands that anarchy and
misrule may be checked, and that righteous
ness may triumph and peace speedily return
to the nation,
