We have had LETT With US an appeal sign
ed by James Rauey, medical director at
ClArksburg, in behalf OF INDECENT parties
there, including women and children who
have had the smallpox, aud who are not
permitted to leave the houses used as hos.
pitfalls for them, because they have no
changes of clothing. aud those they are
now wearing are deemed Infectious aud
dangerous.
Accompanying this appeal is statement
from Col. Wilkinson, now at New Creek,
setting forth that There are at CIArksburr
IL persons that have either had smallpox
or been among smallpox patients. Sub.
sislence has been furnished them for somo
time, but numbers Of them are to my GER
tain knowledge suffering Tor want Of cloth
lag, aud are compelled TO wear that which
is iatecled with small pOx and consequent
dangerous. These parties are all OF the
INDECENT class.
"As now restricted, a number of them
who are couValesceut are not pertniIIed to
leave their abode for fear OF infection from
their clothing. consequently those WhU
may be able to WORK have not an Oppor.

The rebels under Rosser recently made raid
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, capturing
New Creek and Piedmont, 800 prisoners, s cannon,
1900 head of cattle and large amount OF other
property. Charleston in Western Virginia, has
also been captured by the rebels. The Richmond
papers believe it true that Sherman had reached
Aillen, and separated in two columns, one turning
back towards Augusta, which was thought 10 be
feint to protect his rear. Rebels admit much dam
age by Gregg's raid on the Weldon railroad.-
Grants men are preparing for winter quarters
An expedition unaer Gen. Merritt had penetrated
into Eoudon valley, had brought away considerable
CATTLE and burned all the nay, barns, &c. The
blockade runner Vixen has been captured-she
was new steamer and very swift. Gov. Vance
says the laws cannot be enforced in the interior OF
North Carolina, on account OF band OF despera
does, Geserters, &c. who commit all sorts OF dep
relations. The Richmond Enquirer admits that
Sherman will reach the sea coast, and that he has
crossed the Oconee. They discredit the report
that Grant was crossing men to the north SIDE Of

INJURIOUS CONSEQUENCES. The follows
ing extract is from Secretary Fessenden's
Annual Report
AS to the foreign loans, he says the posi-
BILE benefit to be derived has not seemed suf-
fcient to overbalance other and opposing
considerations. He does not believe that
patriotic people, struggling for national ex-
istence and in possession OF means, should
be compelled to adopt measure so fraught
with injurious consequences as an issue of
paper money beyond the limits prescribed
The question, however, is one for that people
to decide. They have pronounced for con-
tinuance of the war until its great object
shall have been accomplished, in unmistaka-
BILE terms. It is for them further to deter
mine, whether the necessary means shall be
furnished by way of loans and the circulation
be restrained within strait limits, or whether
they will prefer to endure the evils of exhor-
bitant prices, with loss of credit in the pres
ent and debt of endless magnitude entailed
upon the future.
When the proposition was FIRST preached to
issue paper money, Fessenden-then IN the
U. S. Senate, in very able speech, declared
that Congress had no Constitutional authori-
ty to make other than gold and silver legal
tender. He has got over his legal scruples
