IMPORTANT TO THE FRIENDS OF SOL

attention to a matter of moment in regard

Posi- OFFICE, WASHINGTON CITY, D. G.
November IA, 1864.
A large numper of packages, intended
for the army, arrive at this Office with the
wrappers destroyed or the address SO mu-
tilated that they cannot be forwarded, and
are, therefore, necessarily sent to the Dead
Letter Office.
If persons sending would take the
precaution to write out on a card or slip of
paper the full name of the officer or soldier
for whom the package is intended, the
number of the regiment and corps to which
he is attached, as well as the name and
post Office address of the person by whom
it is sent, and tasten the card or slip thus
addressed securely to the contents .: the
package, inside the propper, it viii in all
cases insure their safe delivery, or their
prompt return to the owner.
Editors in the loyal States will confer q
favor on our soldiers and their friends al
home by publishing this notice in their
papers.

The Nation.

Never before has the nation felt its
strength as it does to-day. Whether 1t
be attributable to one cause or another,
this is a grand fact. The much needed
soldity in the North is being acquired
daily and hourly. 1t is evident that
henceforth the people and the Government
will act together in support of policy
that will have sharp edge and make a
clean cut. The idea of compromise is fast
dissolving, and crystalized purpose. where
in the temporizing elements will be
ignored, is taking its place. Business
thrives accordingly; confidence in the
Government is the order of the day with
everybody. Hence its securities advance
in the market The cloud of doubt which
rose from the seething political caldron is
floating away, and in its place is rising the
pillar of confidence, resting on sure foun-
datons. Gold feels the influence; schemes
of spectators can avail no longer; the
motive is removed, and the single business
OF the country is teit to be the putting
down of the rebellion in the shortest time
and without much regard for the feelings
or wishes of our Southern brethren"
In the events of the past two weeks is
seen the wonderful strength of the nation
and the proof of its stability. This is not
only felt by every citizen, without party
distinction, but will be seen abroad; and it
will open the eyes ard put new ideas into
crowned heads. This conviction not only
gratifes our vanity, but cements US in the
great work of restoring Federal authority.
To speak of saving the Union hereafter
will be misuse of words. The Union is
already saved It needed but the crystal
izing feeling to do it. Reinforced by it,
our armies and navy will complete the
work. Subjugation no longer startles
anybody in the North. And so the work
will be accomplished, if need be, by visit
ing on the South the extreme condition
which JEFF. Davis asserted was the only
alternative if independence was denied
them.
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1864-12-01
Internal Plots.

The rebels are peculiarly chivalric as to
their methods of waging warfare. If this
fact was never before remarked, it must
have been made apparent BY their recent
raid on St. Albans dclenseless town In
Vermont, where murder, arson aud rapine
marked their every footstep. This feat
may have been thought to have been un-
approachably chivalric in its character,
but it was parallelcd on Friday night last
by premeditated and systematic attempt
to lay the entire city of New York IN
ashes We print in another column full
particulars of this dastaIdly plot. Evi-
dence in possession of the military author
ities at New York leave no doubt that this
scheme of arson was hatched In Rich
mond, and that it was fully sanctioned by
the rebel authorities-just as the St. Al
bans affair, as is claimed by the raiders
engaged therein themselves, was sane
toned by the rebel Secretary of Var
Gen Dix, commanding at New. y ork, has
issued an order declaring that any and all
persons found implicated in this or SIM
liar attempt at arson viii be regarded as
spies, subject to martial law, and that j
convicted by ourtmartial, they will be
executed "withcut the delay of a single
. day"
Simultaneous with the attempt to burn
New York city, we have the news that a
scheme to burn the public buildings In
Washington city was discovered just in
time to prevent its accomplishment. Tru-
ly, it behooves the people of the North to
look to their homes and fresides Tho
"etivalry" are abroad, and to murder, rob
and pli'age nsheir especial 6electation,
