CHARITY TWICE BLESSE ED.

All over the South, there are families,
and even neighborhoods, not yet recov
cred from the shock and ravages of war.
The white women are mainly widows
the children are orphans !; they have been
stripped of food, animals, wagons, and
almost everything else, by one passing
army or another, Their fences are burned
often their buildings also--they lack
seeds, implements, teams--;n fact, every
thing. Day after day, they sit moping
or crowd llstIes.ly about, drawing .ra-
tons" wherever the Government issues
any--doing nothing, because they have
nothing to do with-fqlljng constantly
into deeper and still deeper want, misery
and spair.
One million dollars, judiciously dis.
iributed among the best and needest OF
these people, would add many times that
amount to next years harvest. and save
thousands from perishing. The seeds and
implements it would buy would raise
thousands forthwith from famine and des-
pair TO industry and comfort. Let US
raise the money.
True, there should be great "Credit
MobiIier," or real estate bank, with a
heavy capital employs ed in the restoration
of Southern industry; but there are
wants which cannot await and could not
be satisfied by this. They should be
ministered to at once, and an organjza-
ton to this end should be effected through
out the country. Will not our city take
the lead in. the mogement2-Ne@ York

What the Rebels think of our Late
Raid,

NEW YORK, Jan. l1.-Late rebel news
papers contain an interesting and detailed
account of the late Union raid of Gene
rails Stonemau, Burbridge and Gillem in
East Tennessee and West Virginia, SO dam
aglnglto the. enemy in the destruction of
the salt and lead works and vast amount
OF other property, though an effort is made
to represent the extent OF the injury As
much less than it really is. The writer
cannot avoid acknowledging that it was
very great, and derives some consolation
from the fact that as the Yankees have
now done all the harm in that region thew
are capable of, some rest for the rebel
troops may be hoped for.
The rebel Senate on the 9Th inst. adop-
ted q resolution of thanks to their Indian
allies of the Cherokee nation.
The Richmond papers are still indulginp
in Qualifications over the failure of the ex.
pedition against:the Wilmington defences.

In the sharp discussion now going on
between the rebel newspapers, in Which
JET Davis meddliug is charged as the
cause of all their recent disasters, some
OF them in his defence assail Gen. Lee as

State House can be repaired.
The ALABAMA Legislature adjourned at
ter amending the revenue laws, providing
for the support of INDECENT families of sol

upon a militia bill and none WAS passed.
The Senate was in favor of sweeping bill.
while the Houses insisted on certain ex
emptlons. Joint resolutions against re-
construction were passed.
The Sentinel contains an account of a
rebel cavalry expedition into South Wes-

eral establishments by the order in which
they are named, he will not be far wrong
Some consumers OF beer prefer the lager
made by one concern and some another,
but judging from the lively business which
they each appear to do, all have quite as
many patrons as they can accommodate.

ing, and some make more than they can
use, but the only house engaged in the
mailing business exclusively is that of But
terfeld & Co., Centre Wheeling. This firm
has quites large capital invested in the
business, and are conducting their estab-
lishment very energetically and successful
ly' They have facilities for supplying an
immense trade and have thoroughly estab-
lished themselves in the confidence of their
numerous patrons,
The brewing business has increased with.
in the past few years to an extent that sur
prises no one so much as the citizens en-
gsged in the business. Time was when
there were breweries only in the cities :;
beer breweries are now extended over all
the larger towns and all are doing a thriv.
ing business.
The art of brewing is one of great an
tiquity, and many of the more ardent mem
bers of the profession look upon it as one
of the arts and mysteries tending to ele.
vate the species and carry beatitude all
over the country-and as one to which all
future generAtiOns-like the present-Will
be indebted. They claim that some of
the best men in. the world have been brew.
ers, and that the founder of Philadelphia
was one of the first to encourage brewing
in the early settlement of that city. Malt
liquor is certainly valuable in many res
poets. 1t leaves no sting behind and is a
tonic of no mean efficacy. In England,
centuries ago, man who dared to make
bad ale was kicked ont of society.
1t is true that everywherethe brewers are
warm supporters of the government
They are paying dollar of tax to the
government upon every barrel of ale or
beer they brew; and few, if any of them,
murmur at the levy.
The capital invested in ale and beel
brewing in Pennsylvania is about ten mil
lion of dollars, with an annual consump.
ton in Philadelphia alone, both, in the
making of ale and lager beer, of about q:
600, 900 bushels of malt. 1t is very hea
w business, and puts in circulation among
the masses large amount of money.

All in camp except the General (Butler)

the Wilmington failure, it was inquired
why it was otsooner made? The answer
to this was that Gen. Ord, VINO temporarily

Gen. Butler received the order about
