BETTER FROM “ OCCASIOML.”
Washington, December 18, 1863,
Very instructive aie the-lessons gathered
from these experiences of the ■war. We are
all being educated-to a newer and grander
appreciation of the destiny of our country
and the marvellous resources of our coun
trymen. Three years ago, when secession
was in the bud and had not blossomed into
rebellion and ripened into war, we would
have been struck with a deep:and dreadful
sorrow if some wizard had'attempted to
point out the path before us, and to predict
the blood and the death through which it
was fated so many, then in life, were to
pass to their graves. Even a half belief in
such a prophecy would have been followed
by utter despair for the Union. Well, we
now look back, probably not with so much
pride in our national prowess and progress
- ("because our recent past, if crowded with
victory and vindication, is also full of grief
for the glorious dead,), as we look for
ward with high , hope and courage that
the end cannot be other than well for
our people and all the races of civilized man.
Among the many cheerful aspects of the
present must be classed the numerous and
•extensive organizations for the relief and
comfort of the soldiers in the field and the
sailors on the. sea, their families, and the
families of all who have fallen in battle.
Vast and as are the Government
hospitals, in which the wounded and sick
are cared for and often cured, these noble
institutions are fully rivalled by the liberal
and well-disciplined charitable organiza
tions originated and conducted outside of
the Government, Indeed, a main auxiliary
in these hospitals is found to be in the iund
raised by these organizations, and in
the various suggestions and expedients
of the ladies and gentlemen concerned in
them. The 'Western people, not satis
fied with their former profuse con
tributions and efforts for the benefit
of the Bick and wounded, and the fami
lies of those who have fallen in battle,
have begun a series of great exhibitions and
fairs, to which all classes are invited to send
gifts of every description, the proceeds of
the sale of which to be devoted to the sup
port and relief of the troops of that section
now in the service of the Government. The
fair at Chicago was a splendid triumph, and
a great sum was raised for the soldiers of
Illinois. At this fair Mr. Lincoln’s auto
graph copy of the Emancipation Proclama
tion was sold for $3,000 ! Cincinnati, not
to be outdone, follows with her exhibition
on the 21st Of December, which is to be a
sort of Holiday Carnival and Bazaar, and to
extend beyond the New Tear. General
Hosecrans is the president, and is as
sisted by a host of eminent citizens, in
cluding the ladies, of course. ' Hercule
an exertions are making to make this an
occasion of extraordinary interest. Com
mittees are soliciting presents from every
comer of the land; and the list of curiosi
ties and more solid contributions already de.
posited, is very great. Objectß of oiriM,"Such
Us old paintings, autographs, statuary, re
lics of other ages, of hvery sort, have been
sent from private houses pro
fusion. The mementoes of the battle-fields
of this war for freedom are there with their
melancholy, and yet glorious, memories
around them. The original of the last Pro
clamation of Mr. Lincoln, offering pardon to
the penitent people of the South', is the great
object - of the exhibition, and will excite
much competition. As much as $lO,OOO is
expected to he obtained for this great word
of mercy. So it is that the people unite with
the Government in" the cause of humanity
Mid Christianity. What nobleFretum-could
Ibe made for the sacrifices and sufferings of
the heroes and inartyrs of Liberty ?

Lieut.’Peck, of the 2d Regiment District Volun

made by Stuart’s cavalry, last night, upon the
Orange , and Alexandria Railroad, about one mile
and a half beyond Fairfax Station.
The rebels, about eight hundred strong, and ac
companied by the notorious Moaby, at six o’clock
attaoked the guard upon the railroad at that point,
•which consisted or Company. I, of the 155th. New

surrounding them. , , ,
The rebels had previously cut the telegraph wires,
but word was conveyed as quickly as possible to
Colonel Drew, in command of a battalion.of four
companies'of the 2d D. O. Volunteers, at Fairfax
•Station, and he Btarted with his oommaud to rein
force the attaoked. The progress of . the train was
stopped at Pope Eun, where the rebels had burned
the bridge and torn up the-track for about two
miles. Y
"When Colonel Drew arrived at Pope. Run it was
extremely dark; and the rain poured down furiously
He fired several volleys at the rebels, which they re
turned. None of our men were wounded.
Itwas evidently the object of .the raiders to cap-
railroad train from Alexandria, loaded with
large quantities of provisions arid forage for the
army, Which was due at the time. Thd.train hap
pened to be an hour and a half late, ami consequent
ly escaped capture. It is quite, llltely that the rebels
committed.further outrages upon the railroad be

“ Incentive to Inventors.”
Under this oaptton we observed ah artiole in one
of the morning journAl! of this oity, a few days Ago,
AtatiDg that certain gentlemen intended to enlist the
Franklin'lnstitute in the “oosi'question," with a
view, if possible, to reduoing tho consumption r of
fuel. The writer said that a series of experiments
would probably be inaugurated, and competition of
inventive genius invited, in order to solve the practi
cability of warming a number of buildings by a single
beating apparatus, adding:
" It is undoubtedly true that thousands of tons of
ooal are annually thrown away in heating super
fluous gases that escape from flues and ohlmneys,
end if there can be anything adopted to counteract
or neutralize this tendency, we may promise to the
inventor in advanoe a handsome fortune." .
With all due deference to somebody’s judgment,
we must say that the proposition to heat several
buildings by the same apparatus is absurd, if it is
not impracticable. It would be quite as wise to
propose, on the soore of economy, that one house
should do the marketing, cooking, washing, and
: sewing for a dozen ofjts neighbors. Suoh an ar
rangement might, in the aggregate, save expense,
but it would be very unsatisfactory. What is wanted
to meet the case in hand is such healing and cooking
arrangements as every family can employ for itself con
structed on such scientific principles as will save one-half
or two-thirds of the amount of fuel now consumed in
doing the same amount of work. ;
We confess a deep interest in this subject for the
public good, and have at various Umes called atten'
tion, in theee columns, to what seemed to us valua
ble improvements in this department of trade and
manufactures, and we do not hesitate to say that
there is now a popular stove in use, whloh, if i*
could be] universally introduced, would meet the
wants of the public a thousand'times more effectu
ally, than any suoh community heating .arrangement
as was recently agitated in Councils. We refer to
the great Air-tight Stoves invented, manufactured,
and sold by our ingenious fellow-townßmanf James
Spear, Esq,, No. 1116 Market street. The expert
ment has been tried, and the most respectable wit.
nesses will testify that more than double the amount
of heat -is extracted from a given amount of coal in
using these stoves than can be obtained by the use
of any other heating apparatus extant. We give
this information pro bono publico, and if people will
etill persist in throwing coal away, at nine and ten
dollars a ton, by employing inferior stoveß, ft is no
fault of ouis. This we must be permitted to boast,
however : that we have the inventor, and the inven
tion, and the promised “fortune,” notwithstanding
that Mr. Spear’s prices are reasonable considering
the great superiority of his stoves, we are glad
to say, ; looks, as if it was being made, judging
from the fact that he has this season sold more
stoves than probably any other ten dealers in the
country. Besides the Stoves here referred to, Mr.
Spear has al«o an improved Beater, which, from its
superior construction, and from what we have seen
of It in operation, also economizes full fifty per oent.
in fuel, compared with any of the old heaters in
use. In order to speak advisedly, in giving these
details to our readers, we visited Mr. Spear’s
warerooms yesterday, to learn whether he would
be able to meet the popular demand which the
announcement we . are here marking would :be
likely to stimulate, and learned that his facili
ties for manufacturing are now so perfectly or
ganized that before the close of another season, at
least, he wUI be able to supply the largest home and
foreign demand at the shortest notice.
While there, we also examined his Improved 13x9-
burning Cook Stove, which has had such a run this
season,.that, with deep regrets, many who could not
obtain it, wore obliged to purchase the ordinary ar
ticle.
The high price of fuel renders the subject of healing
doubly important, and if anything superior to what
Mr. Spear ha, produced oau be.elioited, we shall be
the first to welcome and give it publicity. In the
meantime the use of the Spear Heaters and Stoves,
if generally adopted, would be a great public bene&t,
and we therefore take the liberty to suggest, that if
Councils wish to 'do something practical they will
instruct the school directors at once to supply our
publio schools with the Spear Heater, and thus set
an example of economy worthy of general imita-,
tioh. We may also'add that Mr. Spear uses only
the best imported Russia sheet iron in manufjtctur
ing, having already, as a commencement for the
coming season, purchased the entire stocks of this
iron from two of our largest importing houses, and
hopes to be able in future to supply promptly the
enormous demand for hi, oelobrated Stoves and
Heaters, which.he has not’been able tbacoomplish
•heretofore, ' ' ;
Useful Holiday Presents.
We are glad to find that a large proportion of the
money now being expended in preparing for the holi
days is for goods of substantial value. Among this
class may be justly enumerated the article of Ladies’
Furs, which we learn are haying an immense sale
for presents. The famous old house of George F.
Womrath, Nos. 41S and 417 Arch atreet,;have, within
the past week, sold more valuable set, (such as could
probably not be found in any other Fur establish
ment in the oouhtry) than, a fdw years ago, could
have been sold by any. one house in twelve months.
The stock of Mr. Womrath, a, we ascertained yes
-terday, is still very rich ip the finest and most costly,
as well as in the medium grades, so that thOße who
have not yet made their selections need suffer no
disappointment in not finding what they want His
prices? moreover, are moderate for the character of
good, sold, and there is a satisfaction in purchasing
Furs at Mr. Womrath’s, &om the fact that his goods

latest and greatest, the world-renowned, Grover &
Baker Sewing Machine, sold at 730 Chestnut street,
’thunder, its claims upon the popular ear with irre
sistible power, notwithstanding the sound of its
operation is like whispered music, and the ease of
its motion the beau ideal of gentleness itself. For
a Christmas present of real value, enduring benefit
to the recipient, and most credit to the giver, we
commend, as incomparably superior
else, a Grover Baker Sewing Machine. Slave the
first of December over one thousand of these great

•wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, and others,
and we say, in the name of common sense,
and the health of the sex, let the good-work go on.
Go and witness these superb machines In operation.
They are so simple that a little obild can work them,
and so varied and efßoient that the inoßt delicate,
artistic, and diffloult sewing, even to elegant emhroid
cry, is performed bythem in a manner far surpassing
•the finest hand-sewing. A, an article of furniture
they are fit to adorn the moßt fashionable parlor, :

A Substitute bob I mposted Zkphybs,—
Having heard muoh said of late in tavorof the “ Ger
mantown Wool,” as a substitute for. the imported
zephyrs, we have taken pains to examine into., its
comparative merits. In the first place, the.Germsn
town Wool is much cheaper than the imported arti
cle, while for all purposes to whioh the latter is de
voted it is found to ahswer as well. In texture, it
falls slightly below the German zephyrs but in co
lors it ia equal in brilliancy and durability to the
best European dy es. Mr. jOhh M. Finn, southeast
corner of Arch ami Seventh streets, is now having a
large sale for the Germantown Wool for carriage
Afghans, Sora Spreads, evening Mantles, and other
similar aitioles of dress and comfort.

Let us hope that this proverb may be verified,
