A VENERABLE STovE.-The oldest stove
in the United States, if not in the world, is
that which warns the hall of the capital Of
Virginia, in Richmond. 1t was made in
England and sent to Virginia in 1870. and
warmed the House of Burgesses and the
General Assembly for sixty years before it
was removed to its present location, where
it has been for upwards of thirty years. It
has survived three British Kings; and has
been contemporsneous with four monarch
les, two republics. and two Imperial gov
ernments OF France. The great republic of
America has been torn by civil war, the
breaches partly healed; and still this old
stove has remained unnoyed in the midst

From the National Intelligencer.7
Being profoundly impressed with the i'm
portance of the struggle through which the
country is passing, and of the necessity of
preserving the results gained by Its tri-
umphs in the field, and more recently at
the polls, the undersigned, a committee ap-
pointed by the Soldiers and Sailors Union,
of Washington, D. c., do in their name
earnestly invite their comrades, the loyal
veterans of the republic, with all other
friends Of the great cause of Union and liber-
ty, to meet in national mass welcome and
council to be held in this, the Federal CAPT
tai, on Saturday, December the 1st prox.
We ask your presence to honor and as
sure protection to the loyal majority in the
thirty ninth Congress, in whom we recog-
nize faithful guardians of our assailed in
stitutons and able supporters of the pin
ciples involved.
Come in your might! By your presence
show how sternly loyalty can rebuke trea
son. Prove thereby that the threats and
insults of treacherous executive against
the legislative branch of the government
do not intimidate free people.
Here in the Federal capital must our
great struggle culmiuate in wise and equit-
able legislation. Here, then, should we as
sembe to encourage and strengthen Con
/ gress-to whose hands the constitution
| wisely entrusts the Power--to such just ac-
ton as will make peace permanent and liber-
/ ty permanent. D. S CURTIS,

We are panied and shocked to announce,
from many sources of reliable information,
that the above call looks to the establish
ment here en- permanence of an organized
force, to be subject to the orders of Con
gress. What they may be, and what ca
lamites impend over our beloved country,
heaven only knows. But the ferocious
counsels OF Butler, Wade, and Forney may
be carried out by the Sword, smoking
with bloody execution
We are reminded by this OF the threats
once made by partisans in New York, tC

There is no sign Of any riot or daee tomorrow. and

To meet the danger apprchended on the nth, all Of

There about 1000 in the city some $50 being
regular troops. Two batteries. guns each, also

rather than 80 900.

Is no common movement. ...
There is much relief felt here at the action OF the
United States Government in taking steps TO stop any
inroad upon Canada; and IL must be said. that the
courage OF the forces in Canada has risen good deal
since the receipt of this news for by the action Of the
United States troops. they hope TO see the fenians
taken In The rear.
Some men think that this action Of the United States
Government will not amount 10 much-that the game Of
perhdy charged to England is 10 be now played by
the United States. This idea is gathered from the tone
