Lvosnuitv of Whisky Vhndoks. ? Ever
since the war began, the commander* of
the different military posts have experienc
ed great difficulty from the sale of ardent
spirits among the soldiers. Order after or
der has been issued for the suppression of
this trade, all to no purpose, for no matte
how strihgent the rules, or how strict the
surveillance:tbe men would get whisky, and
while under its influence were constantly
committing depredations and gettiog into
trouble. Men, under every disguise, have
been supplying the array of Western Vir
ginia with liquor for montns past. vniy a
week or two since several persons were
caught, disguised as mourntrs, having in
their charge a coffin. Suspicions were
aroused, and the coffin examined, when
it wad discovered that it was neatly lined
with zinc, perfectly water tight, and filled
;rith rot gut whisky.
Tue other day a mau attempted to run
the blockade near Winchester and enter Dix
ie. The guard was struck with the some
what singular build of the man, and arrested
hiin upon suspicion. When taken te head
quarters he was examined and found to
have a tin box, several inches thick, made
to lit tightly around the whole of his body
This case was found to contain about fifteen
gallons of whiskey. The man was taken be
fore an officer for trial, who eubjected him
to a heavy fine. The liquor vendor made se
* * * 3 . j, A
rious objections to tots proceauie, auu ????
ed that ho should not be interfered with, as
he knew he was killfng as many of the ene
my as any ODe man in the Federal army.
The fine was paid and the whisky man re
leased.

As to the mysterious writing labeled on
the walls on Friday, report says a special
meetiugof the Custom House cliquo was
called on Saturday evening to decipher it,
but they k< couldn't see it." Some one sug
gests this translation of it, (S. S. T. L. 0.
D.) "Southern States Trinnphant, Lincolu
Out of Date."
Bonnets. ? The pout says, "A tuiu^ ol
beauty is a joy tor ever." So think the la
dies on the bounet question. From the
latest books of fashion we have gleaned the
following:
"A loose crown of white crape, covered
by a net work of straw, a bow of black
silk, having long ends l'ringed with lace,
fastened at the side of the front, which is
also of white crape, var9 of Indian corn
(what next? in tho name of wonder) and
dandeliou bails, with which children aiuust
themselves by blowing of the seed. Insidt
the trout are ears of Indian corn. Another
bonnet is made of piuktinted crape, orna
mented in tho front with a wide ribbou,
plaited like the tlouuce of a dress. At the
Joot of this ribbou, which goes quite round
the front, there is a handsome white blonde,
fringed with dew drops, and producing a
vety ordinal e fleet. Among the plaits o'
the ribbon a pretty feather is laid, inclining
a little .j vet the foreheud. Tho blonde,
irin^ed with dew drop*, which tollows thr
ribbon on the front, comes toot to foot, to
form a catidane about the middle of the cur
tain, inside the front a feather and fruit
made of red velvet. Another and last mo
del, is made of piukish grey crape: trim
medatthe fide with a feather, escaping
from a torsade of crape, the same color as
the bonnet. This same torsade was carried
round, just above the curtaiu. vailed at the
edge by a row of lace. The curtain is also
decorated with loops of ribbon. A magni
ficent red convolvolus, of exactly the natu
ral tints, is placed maide tho front, bedded
in a ruche of nechlin tulle. Tho half with
ered foliage, which accompanies this dower
is truly an artistic imitation of nature."
Fashion Accommodated bv Invention
_-A Frenchman once informed the landlord
of a wayside tavern that he preferred to
have better one plate aud hairs in an
other. l,lU>so who indulge in hirsute ap
pendages <tff it natural growth, and on that
account fixtures, and who love the beverage
that "cheers but not inebriates," but do not
care to drink it stirred eveu by their own
petted moustache, have had a desideratum
provided for them. A cup has been invent
ed of a peculiar construction to meet the
wants of the unshaven lip. Here is an il
lustration for a philosophical essay on the
relations between trade and customs or
customes. It look*, moreover, as if the va
riously bearded faco bad become a perma
nent institution, siuce traffic invests capital
to meet it with an abiding fabric.

Digging Coal bt Machinery.? A writer
in the Scientific American argues the prac
ticability of inventing a machine for dig
giDg coal, and calls upon inventors to pet
their wits to work to invent some thing
that will perform the lrbor of miuer3 at a
reasonable figure. The man who succeeds I
in inventing it will mako Lis fortune, and
be a blessing to the public, especially in
this locality, where coal diggers are so fre
quently on a "strike."
Cool. ? A soldier caino up to a citizen of
BeJlair on Saturday and asked him if he
would be kind enough to tell him what
time it was. The merchant took from hio
pocket a fine gold watch, which he valued
at one hundred and seventy-five dollars,
and while in the act of opening it the roI
dier cut tne watch from the guard and ran
down to the river shore, and was soon lost
in the crowd of soldiers.

The Cabinet had a special session for sev

It is pretty well settled that there will

to give the military command of the De

A Proclamation.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF TllE CNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
The year that is drawing towards its
close has been filled with the bles>iugs o(
fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these
bounties, which are so canstantly enjoyed;
that wo are prone to forget the source from
which they come; others have been addtd
which are of so extraordinary a nature
that they canoot fail to penetrate and sof
ten even the heart whicu is habitually in
sensible to the ever watchful providence of
Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war
of unequal magnitude and severity, which
sometimes seemed to invite and provoke
the aggressions of foreign States, peace has
beeq preserved with all nations. Order has
been maintained, the laws have been res
pected and obeyed and harmony has pre
vailed everywhere, except in the theatre of
military conflict while that theatre has
been greatly contracted bv the advancing
armies and navies of the Union.
The needful diversions of wealth and
strength from the fields of peaceful indus
try to the national defense have not arre -
ed the plow, the shuttle or the Rhip. The
axe has enlarged the borders of our settle
ment9, and the mines as well of iron and
coal a9 the precious metah have yielded
even more abundantly than heretofore.?
Population has steadily increased notwith
standing the waste that has been made in
the camp, the siege and battle-field, and the
country rejoicing in the consciousness o
augmented strength and vigor is peamittH
ro expect the continuance oi years with
large increase of freedom. No human
counsel hath devisedly nor hath any motal
haud worked out these great things, lhej ,
aro the gracious gifts of tbe most High
God, who while dealing with us in anger
for o*ir bins hath nevertheless Timbered
tnercv It has seemed to me lit and propei
that they should be solemnly, reverently
and gratefully acknowledged a<( with one
heart and voice by the whole American
nemle I do therefore invite my fellow
citizen, in every part of tlio United Scales,
and also those who are at ?.-a and those woo
are sojourning in foreign lands to set apart
and ebserve the last T ? "sday of Novenibei
next as a .lav of fhanksg.ving and Prayer
to our beniticient 1' ather who we '
the Heavens and I recommend to
tliem that while offering up tnc
ascriptions justly doe to him lor sucn
.insular deliverances and blessing! they
J., also with humble peuttcnee for our na
tional peiveraeness aud disobedience c.
mend to His tender care, allshoae who have
become widows, orphans or sufferers in the
lamentable civil strife in which we are on
avoi iablv engaged; and fervently JraPlu
the interposition of the Almighty hand to
heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore
it as soon as it may be consistent with the
divine purposes; to tho full enjoyment of
neace harmony, tranquility and union.
Tn testimony whereof, 1 hn hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the

State Government ol Virginia.
Washington, Opt. 4. ? The formation of
the State Government of Virginia is now
complete. The capital is temporarily es
tablished at Alexandria The following are
the names of tbe State officers: ? Francis

B. Cowdeu, Attorney General,
The advertisements of rebel property un
der the confiscation act are daily on the in
c*va*e in Alexandria. The loyal people
there are exceedingly fearful lest some of
the most deserving of the penalty should
have their property protected by flimsey
transfers. The peop'e of Loudon, too, are
becoming aroused tu the necessity of pro
tecting themselves against guerrillas.
Wounded from Chattanooga.
Cincinnati, Oct. 4. ? A special to the
Commercial, dated Cbattauooga 30th say*
that 200 ambu'ances were sent within ene
my's linen, under a flag of truce, brought
iu over 5l?0 of our wounded. While in the
enemy's bands they had nothing to cat but
corn bread. The rebels treated them very
kindly, expressing regret tb&t they could
not provide any better fare. Ther refuse to
permit the bodies of wouodid or dead offi
cers to be removed. The enemy holds 52
of our surgeons prisoners. Our ambulances
rctu nea to the rebel lines with the rebel
wmn led who fell into our bands.
Both armies are busy fortifying. The
rickets are within a stonw'g throw of each
other.
ihe Associated Presi report that the bat
tle causes considerable indignation among
the troops. The statement that Rtyaolds'
and Branuou's divisions were thrown into
disorder is incorrect. I learn from General
Thoma^bat to the obstidate bravery of
these commands the army is largely in
debted for its safety.
Our wounded are well cared for and com
forts bly situated.

New York, Oct. 4. ? The Herald's Wash
ington despatch says that the recent raid
by guerrillas upon a cavalry camp at Lang
ley, captured all tho horses of the whole
company, and thirteen more belonging to
the Quartermaster's department. The whole
camp was asleep. t&ai
The rebel authorities havo declined an
additional number of their paroled officers
and men as exchanged and ordered them
to dufr. This is in direct violation of the
cartel. Notwithstanding the heavy balance
of exchange against them they refuse tc
deliver any of onr commission officers, and
also retain a large number of citizens pris
oners.
A Berwick city letter to t he Herald states
that the main body of Banks' command
was encamped on the 18th of Sept., near
thnt place. No serious encounter is expect
ed to occur until reaching Vermillion Ba
you where the rebels under Dick Taylor
are reported to in tricot fore and fortifying
the place. Another report >avs thnt the
rebels are concentrating al! their available
forces from Western Louisiana, Eastern
Texas and Southern Arkansas at Alexan
dria for a last desperate resistance and are
evacuating all the country this side of Al
exandria and the Red river. Our force*
will soon make an advance movement.
An Army of tho Cumberland despatch to
the llerald dated Oct. 3, says the prospect
of success i-i good. It' the enemy makes an
attack be will be badly defeated. There is
no cause for alarm from a rebel liank
