SODIUK hicks. la the following extracts of a letter written from Nashville, the writer speaks of the anxiety with which storeßare look ed for, and the joy they give the soldiers, even if they are not sick and suffering. I The thought that many warm hearts and ready hands are busy in devising ways and means for their comfort, adds much to I their happiness. The writer i« a lady who gives her whole time to the soldiers : "Dear : I received yesterday tbeinvoiee off goods sent to me by the iieame- Starlight. There 1 wm a general rejoicing when I reported to the I ladies who ccok the delicacies lor the Hospitals, I that the gelatine and flavoring extracts had] started Immediate y I was called on to make a I promise that I would report »g,in a* soon as | they came to hand, whioh I rea iiy promised to I do. | ‘‘l packed a box for Capt.

The balanoe he distributed to the boys in the regiments to those who had not for months bat ooe rhirt and one pair, he gave the olothiug. Also, the dried fruit and soap he distributed amoag who most neede lit ihey offered to pay him, but when tojd that they came from the ladies of tho Sanitary Commission, and there was nothing to j>ay, they couldnot extress their , thanks and gratitude, and it would have driven tears from your eyea could you have seen the! satisfaction and thankfulness with which they i wero reoeived.” A list of donations received for the two months commencing September 28th and ending November 28th was sent ns for publication yesterday, bat it wbb unavoid ably crowded out. The amoont was large, the articles varied and suitable to the oc casion, and shows that our people are de termined that the brave soldiers shall not suffer if in their power to prevent it. The Sanitary Commission have an arduous duty to perform, and we bid them God j speed in their noble work. I Good News. —The 8t Louis Republican of Saturday-says: We hear that the restrictions upon the loading of steamboats and bargea with provisions and other Western merchandise are removed, and that chose may beexpected to come to oar market in quantities sufficient to feed the hungry. Why may we not hope that coal may also be permitted to come tree of ob atroction ? Coal was included among things prohibited, when there were hostile gun boats on these rivers which could employ it, when hostile transports were to be I supplied with it. Now, however, it is the people wiihin thehtderal lines who are to shiver or be impovri ished by its scarcity. Will not the benevolent ap-ong those in an'hority U 66 their influence to remove an 1 obstruction now nselt-sn, yet bunhenst me I to the people. It requires an order from Washington to make the trade in coal as I free on the river as that in flour. I Vand e s n o ff* s Readings . —Mr. Van denhoff read “Riehehea” and ‘ Mrs. Gamp” at Concert Hall last evening, be fore a large audience in his ußual able manner. Now that the Mercantile Libra ry Association have fairly inaugurated the lecturp season, and with every prospect of success, we trust that we will be par pardoned in seconding the suggestion in yesterday’s Dispatch that they sbonld make arrangements with some popular Lady reader, as we feel convinced that such an engagement would give satisfac tion to ticket holders. Why not try Mrs Emily De Lesdernier, whose course of poetic reading at Dodsworth’s Hall, New York, during the past months, has elicited encomiums in the East? We merely make the suggestion. Mercantile Library Association.— This praiseworthy institution inangurated the present lecture season last evening, with Mr. Vandenhoff. The committee were very fortunate in securing the servi ces of this distinguished gentleman and popular reader, for the opening night, as a grand success on the first evening of the course, aurora well for the whole season. We are Dot advised who will be the next lecturer, but from the good judgment of the committee, we doubt not he will be one of the manyeminent speakers whose services are at ttfeir command. The com mittee will accept our thanks for their favor. Choice op Parents. —Io all cases where exemption from draft is asked, on the ground that “two cr more sons are liable to military doty,” the choce must be made before December 20th, and not postponed until the draft has been made. Last draft, owing to the law being new and imperfectly understood, parents were allowed to exempt one where two were drafted, This cannot be allowed in the January draft, and those interested must blame themselves if, through their own neglect, their claims for exemption upon this ground are made too late to have any effect. This is important to many, and should be attended to at once. Major Gibson. —This brave young soldier has been earning new laurels re cently. In the fight at Droop Mountain, in which Averill routed the combined for ces of Jackson and Echols, Major Gibson’s battalion led the charge, and kept it up for thirteen miles, capturing nighty-one pris oners, among them the notorious rebel Captain McNeil. He is a son of Colonel James GibsoD, of Penn townahip, and is a worthy son of a noble sire. Another Injunction.— The City Soli citor will soon have his hands fall of in junctions He was directed by the Coun cils on Monday night to apply to the proper Court for an injunction to stop the Penn sylvania Railroad from laying a track along Try street, bo as to connect with the Pitts bnrgh and Connellsville Railroad, without first obtaining the consent of the city. The bill will be filed this week, and an early discussion may be looked for. Bard at Wore. - Mayor Sawyer and bis two competitors, Lowry and McCarthy, are working like heroes for the nomination for Chief Magistrate of this great and flourishing city It is astonishing how polite a man gets after he becomes a can didate for office. What a nice country this wonld be to live in if everybody was a candidate. There would be no use of dancing masters then. .An Ancient Lawsuit.—The supreme tribunal of Madrid has just given final jodgment in a snit which had been under litigation 240 years, aud which involved the succession to the inheritance of Franciß Pizarro, the famous invader and conquerer of Pern, in 1632. Let no im portanate client in this country complain of the ‘‘laws delays” alter this. To New Orleans Direct. —The steamer Duke of Argyle, the first boat that has cleared from Cincinnati, direct for New Orleans since the rebellion broke out, left last Saturday evening She had on board about 600 tons, chiefly Flour, Provisions .and Furniture, and charged $2 per 100 pon&dg.

Emancipation Proclamation. Our readers n »y not ull ba aware of the fyet that President Lincoln donated the original draft of Ims Emancipation Pro clamation’ to {he Northwestern Sanitary Pair, recently held iu Chicago, which was to be sold, aud the proceeds applied to wards the establishment of a Soldiers’ Home somewhere in tb« State of Illinois. The draft was sold for a large amount, and a meeting of the lady directors of the Soldiers' Home was held in Chicago on the 27tfa nit., at which forty three mem bers were present. | The sul ject of establishing a permanent I Soldiers’ Home was taken up. An address jin relation to the subject was delivered, j which stated that it was the object for the I original draft of the Emancipation Pro jclamatioD to be devoted to the establish ing of such a home. On motion of Mrs. j Hosmer, it was determined that the j proclamation should be framed in the wall lof the building, there to remain forever, I that it might be seen by everybody. The Home in question is to be located in 111., and for the benefit of disabled soldiers of the whole Union. This institution, we | doubt, not, will, under the management of the Illinois women, be the means of fur nishing rest and repose to many a weary and maimed patriot, who will bless the noble men ana women who conceived and carried nat this patriotic design. | Concert Hall Shoe Store.—The pre i monitions are that old Winter has fairly gained the mastery, and will for a time remain “ master of the situation,” and it is suppoaable that the language of the poet will be verified some months hence of "Winter lingering in tbe lap of Bpring.'‘ How important, then, that our citizens should prepare for the advent of Winter, whicb ‘makes fields and fores s bare and by a jadicious expenditure of their I means, eo clothe themselves as to bid defi ance to the pinching blnata of old Boreas, and keep aloof from colds, coughs and consumptions. There is no one article of dress more conducive to health than a good substantial pair of boots or shoes. Jlf the feet are kepi warm and dry, there jis but little danger of taking colds in win ter, which ultimately terminate in con sumption and finally carry its victims to the grave. Provide yourself, then, with these indispensable articles ; and to get them you have but to go to Gardner’s Concert Hall Shoe Store, Fifth street, where you cau procure a pair r.f Boots, Shoes or Gaiters, at a fair price— warran ted to be all that they are represented, or the money will be -efunded. Free Lectures.—Dr. A. Page, the author and teacher of Electropathy, will lecture at Masonic Hall on Tuesday even ing. Dec.

The public will be glad to know that Dr. P. has consented to deliver the lectures above referred t.n, which will occupy about two weeks. Pittsburgh Theatre. —Another new drama is announced at this house to-night, the name of which is “ Eagle Eye, or the Prairie Steed," with our favorite actor, R. K. J. Miles, as the Red Son of the Forest, Oiahontas, and his favorite horse as the Wild Prairie Sfeed. This beautiful drama was written expressly for Mr. M. in order to display his extreme versatility in the Dramatic Equestrian art, and has always proved a sure card whenever pre sented. He will be assisted in its repro duction by the entire strengt h of this exeel lent corps dcaniatique. Tne side-splitting farce of Kiss in the Dark, concludes the entertainment. Central Presbyterian Church Sab* bath School— This Sabbath School will give an entertainment in the Central Pres byterian Church, (Dr. Jacobus’,) corner of Sixth and Smithfield streets, on Thurs day evening, Dec. Bd, the net proceeds to be donated to the United States Christian Commission. Rleber s Quartette, and Prof. Slack have kindly volunteered to be present on the occasion. As the object is a praiseworthy one, and the exercises will be highly entertaining we trust there will be a large turn out. Think They Have A “Sure Thing.''— The friends of Mayor Sawyer think they have a “sore thing ” on his renomination for tho Mayoralty. So certain are they, that they are willing to risk their “green backs ' upon it. Last night we noticed quite a number of offers to bet, but no takers. “ ihings are working,” and mer ry times are ahead. One ot these nags is bound to win the nomination—after that comes the election, which may a tale un fold, Ac. Bridge Meeting. —The commissioners, and others interested in the construction ot the proposed new bridge over the Ohio river at the Point, will meet at Hare’s Hotel on Saturday afternoon next, when it is proposed to effect an organization. Over $lOO,OOO have already been sub scribed, and the enterprise is already re garded as a fixed fact. Fre ght Cars on Passenger Railways. In ihe Select Council, on Monday even ing. the right to run freight cars by the Citizens Passenger Railway company was granted, but refused in the Common Coun cil. There may be something wrong in granting the privilege asked, but we con fess we can’t see it. F a inful Accident —On Monday as Mr. Hugh McAuly was in the act of coupling together two freight at the Outer Depot, io Allegheny City, the train started ahead, the wheels passing over his right leg, crushed it in such a terrible manner as to render amputation necessary. Great Western Sanitary Fair.—This praiseworthy undertaking is progressing finely, and will commence in Cincinnati on the 21st inst. and continue throngb the holidays.

Further Particulars of Pri Situation About Knox. FITE MORE OF JOHN MORGAN’S FELLOW PRISONERS IN CANADA FBOM THE BOOTH. WHAT THE KEBELS BAY. Ac., <tc., Ac., Ac. Nsw York, Dec. I.— The Tribune's correspondent furniehea the following ac counts of Friday's battle: In obedience to orders, the Sd followed by the 6th corps on Thursday p. m., crossed the Rapidan at Jacobs’ Mills, with no opposition ex cept e shot or two from a few rebel vi dettes stationed at the ford. On reaching the south side of the river these corps jnrsued the load leading to Morton’s ?ord, a few miles above where they took a road to the left, in order to strike the continnalion of the road from Culpepper toiKobertson’s tavern. On Thursday night they rested near Jones’ house, and yesterday morning con tinned their marcti to effect a jnnetien with General Warren’s corps. General Prince s division of the 8d corps was in tho advance, and as the head ofthecolomn reached a small clearing it was greeted with a volley from a lino of rebel skirmish ers. The Ist brigade of the 2d division was thrown forward into line with the Ist, which was deployed as skirmishers, and supported by the Ist aod 8d divisions of the corps. The Ist Mass, advanced through a dense thicket, fighting and poshing the rebels back to the vicinity of Mill Run, where the enemy, strengthening his line, gradually forced back our line. Skirmishing continued until 3:30 p. m., when the enemy, with shonts and yells, charged our first line, which consisted of Prince's division, the right of which first lell back in dense confusion, bnt eoon rallied, and wiLh the aid of one section of Randolph’s first Rhode Island battery, and battery K., of the fourth U S., which poured volleys of grape and c&nißter into the advancing columns of the enemy, con Bisting of Johnson's and a part ot Rhodes' divisions of Ewell's corps. Twice in suc cession we gallantly repulsed the enemy, who were in each advance driven back in perfect vou;. Th<- fight closed at dare. The 2d bivouacked on the field at the june tion of the two roads just mentioned, 6 miles front Docost Grove. Our loss m killed and wounded probably amonnts to not less thau 860. With such haste did the rebels retreat that they left behind all their dead, the ground being literally cov ered with them. Our proportion of killed in the fight is very small, an inspection of the battle field leads to the conclusion that their casualties would far exceed ours. But cue brigade of the Oth was en gaged, that ol Gen. Rnsßell, famous for the brilliant charge at Rappahannock Sta tion. New York, Dec. I.—The Tribune has the fullowmg: Army of the Potomac, Saturday night. This morning at 11 o clock, our torces were pushing forward in line of battle on the Orange and Fred ericksburg pike towards the first mention ed point, driving the enemy’s skirmishers before them. This morning opened with a rain storm but the whole army was on the advance at an early hour. The 8d corps, which crossed the Rapidan at Jacobs’ MilU and was engaged yesterday six miles from Locust Grove on the road leading to Culpepper, deployed to the left of our liues. The 6th remained on the right and the Ist on the left of the 6th. The 2d retained its position while the 6th was deployed from its first station on the lert to Locust Grove, as the reserve of the army. The engagement of the 8d corps yesterday, will be referred to before closiog. Brisk skirmishing commenced as our linp reached a point a mile and a half to the west ot Locust Point grove. Our forces pushed steadily onward, however, driving the enemy’s skir mishers and hastening their retreat by an occasional shell from our bat teries, to which the guns of the enemy did not reply. Gen. Meade and staff had come up at an early hour to Robertson’s tavern. The headquarters train had been ordered back out of range. Long trains of ammunition wagons and ambulances were mov.ng this morning to the front and everything indicated a general movement, should Leo fall into position and should the weather be favorable. The rain couliu uod to fall at intervals, but still the troops pressed forward und the skirmishing still went on as before, the rebei gradually falling back nntil they reached the western bank of Mile Ran, two and-a half miles from the tavern, and a short distaoce from Old VirdiervilU». Here evidences of the intention of the enemy to dispute the pas sage of the Run, where earthworks and abattis were visible on the clearing be yond, Gen. Mea l? accordingly disposed hia forces along a densely wooded crest of hills, east of the Kan. Owing to the difficulty of moving artillery, and eveu in fau'ry on either side of the road, some time elapsed before the formation of our line. Night coming on the firing ceased, except an occasional shell from our lines. Nothing of importance has transpired. The army of Gen. Meade occupies a portion of what is termed the wilderness. Many disapprove the story that. Lee will give battle this side of Orange Court House or Gordousville. New York, Dec. I— The Tribune has a special, dated Knoxville, Saturday, via Cumberland Gap, Monday, saying: We are new in the twelfth day of the siege; the enemy has gained no advantage. We are better prepared for an attack than the most oanguioe expected. Longatreet is delaying for reinforcemerts from Virginia. The enemy made a diversion on Wednes day npon our position over the river, but after an hour's fight were driven back. On Tuesday a detachment of the 2d Mich, made a gallant charge and captured a rebel rifle pit within 600 yards of our works, bnt subsequently were compelled to give way to a superior force, with great loss. Major Byingtou was taken prisoner, Adjutant Noble and Lient. Hal pen were killed, aod Lient. Col. Cornuck, I7th Mich., died on Friday from his wonnda. It has been comparatively quiet for the past two days. .ANTHONY METER New York, December 1. —The Tribune has the following special: Gen. Wilcox telegraphs from Cumberland Gap that scouts that came in yesterday report heavy cannonading heard yegetaay mor ning in the direction of Knoxville. It was very rapid, about 40 difchaifees>pe£ minute and lasting several hours. TO TELE DAILY POST. THE WAR, day’s Battle, Yill«, Fortress Monroe, Dec. 1 —The Rich mond Whig of November 28th and 80th contains the following: Charleston, Nov. 28.—The shelling has been kept up steadily on Sumter, MouF trie, J ohnson and Simpkins# Seventy* two ten inch Columbiads were fired on Sumter from Fort Gregg to-day. The enemy commenced firing their large mor tars from Cummings’ Point Twenty eight shells were fired during the night The fi.emy continued their usual prac tice on Sumter; there were some 257 shots fired. On Friday night Captain Jacob Valentine and two or three privates were severely wounded in Moultrie,by the explosion of a Parrott shell. No casual ties on James Island to day Charleston, Nov. 29 —The Yankees kept up heavy mortar shelling on Samter last night, continuing it this morning. Six shells were thrown into the city to day and two buildings struck. Tho shell ing of Sumter, Moultrie, Johnson and Simpkins, by the enemy from Gregg and Wagner, has been lively and cotinuons. .401 shots were fired to day and yesterday. Orange Court House, Nov. 29.—N0 movements of importance in either army this morning. Theenemy is deploying in our front in line of battle. There has been no fighting since Friday, but there was some skirmishing on Saturday. The Yankees have eight day’s rations. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee drove the enemy’s cavalry across Raccoon and Morton’s fords yes'er day. Friday’s fight was mostly musketry, Atlanta. Oa , Nov 27 —The city is foil of conflicting rumors of the battle of Chickamauga. We have at least many prisoners, estimated at 5000 and upwArdß. All of our dead and seriously wounded are in the hands of the enemy. In the attack on Lookout Mountaio the enemy’s loss waR greater than oars; they drove as back by force of numbers. Skirmishing com menced on Saturday, and there was in tense firing Sunday and Monday. Tbe enemy charged on Lookout Mountain 6000 strong, at the same time occupying the attention of our right wiDg at the foot of Missionary Ridge. The corps of Gen, Breckinridge met the shock with unflinch ing courage and determination. New Yore, December I.—A special to the World , dated Washington Nov. SOfcb, flays r —There is nothing official or other wise from the Army of the Potomac to night. It is now believed that the im pression that a general battle was fought on Saturday or Sunday is incorrect, from the fact that if such had been the case, the wounded would have reached the Rappahannock bridge The conclusion is quite irresistible that Lee has continued to fall back to save his own line of com munication with Richmond, and if snch be the case it is evident that Gen. Meade’s plan, so far as known to be in operation, are working successfully. The K>tar of this evening says that even if Meade should be defeated in battle he could easily fall back on Fredericksburg, where he could soon receive supplies from Acqaia creek, adding that the railroad from that point to Fredericksburg ie very nearly in working order already. Unless disaster follow our arms, it is not so clear that Fredericksburg is to be the future base of supplies It may be added that the Government has not re ceived one word from Gen. Meade since he left Cnlpepper. Th#ftreather ia clear and coid. New York, December I.—The Times has the following specials: Washing ton, Nov. 30th.—Army officers from Beal ton Station to-night, report that heavy cannonading has been heard Bince early this morning in the direction of Orange ( . H. The firing was so heavy and con imuons as to preclude the possibility of its bein ' skirmishing. It was their opin ion that a general engagement was in progress at the time they last heard of the firing, which was at eleven o’clock this forenoon. Geo. Lee’s whole force is entrenched between Orange C. H. apd Gordonsville, Sapplies are ncrw dispatched to Meade by a new route. The weather is frightfully cold and has been since yesterday. The badly wounded who were out last night and those supposed to be left out to night where they fell, must certainly die. They fight without overcoats. Headquarters Army of the Potomac, Nov. 80. —The armies of Meade and Lee were divided tbia morning by Mine Ran Valley, crossing the Fredericksburg and Orange plank road, about twelve miles from the latter place. The enemy is strongly entrenched, and exhibits a deter mination to make a desperate resistance. Some cannonading has taken place this morning, whioh was feebly replied to by the batteries. Their line of works is near Gordonaville, and in commanding posi tions, but they will probably be attacked to day or to morrow. Nothing of a deci sive character has transpired np to the present time. Cincinnati, Dec. I.—The Commcr dal's Cumberland Gap correspondent telegraphs to night, that all the available forco has been sent from there to inter ceptLongsireet « retreat into Virginia. A courier from Knoxville brings the in telligence that the enemy attempted to cross the river on Sanday morning bring ing on a general engagement, resulting in the defeat of the enemy and the capture of General Woeeler'a division of five thousand men. Washington, Dec. 1. —Reports from Bealton Station confirm the report of heavy firing heard yesterday.
