There are very many families in this ; county, who this winter have one or 'more of tbeir number in the Union •ray, end, besides all the other hard- j chips and deprivations which soldiers must experience at any other season,, they must endure the severities of cold I Now those soldiers csniiot bo en'cum- 1 bered with a large amount of clothing and bedding, at least until they go into 1 winter qaerters, where they are likely t to remain for some lime, for the simple reason that tu»y cannot carry tbeui on m march. But there are some few articles which they need for their comfort, wbieh they can carry, and. can be furnished st a email expense, and which ' ' the Government does oot furnish. And; the first of these which we will rneulion is, a good pair of home-made, wbolen gloves, which are iqdispensible. And, no donbt, after a short time, they j will need extra pain of woolen socks, ; of a good quality. Will not mothers, wives, daughters listers or lovers alt ami to this matter. Let the gloves be aeni them at once, and let the socks be in • readiness, that they may be scut when they aball be informed by th*ir soldier friends that they need them ; and let a second pair'of gloves be in readiness, i when the first are worn out. They should also be furnished with a ball of yarn aud needle with which to mend ' ^ these articles. # Some of the ladies have also provided . their friends in the ymy with knit wool°ea Caps, wbieh taay "be drawn down over their ears. We have nut beard Low ibey are liked by the soldiers, but we should suppose they would add much to their comfort, especially when out on picket, and have no stay of sleeping but in Lottses made of pine or cedsr boughs. Try tbem ; they will cost but a trifle, , and any womau-'can kbit one, who can knit stall. There is still another matter which we will notice in this connection. The Government furnishes no boots; only r— oboes or brogaui. We ore aware' that it is said by some that these are better than boots, but we have yet to be conviooed of it. Several of our boys hare aent^pr boots, and say that they foffer * with wetrfeet, having; at times, to cross email streams, when on picket duty, apu liar* suffered with colds, soar throats Ac., in Consequence. And this, we are sorry to" learn, was the case with a sou of tart, whea we eeoeaily heard from Vim, wjich he writes us he believes would Jpve been avoided with boots. The boots now being mads, which will be forwarded in a few days, are of heavy oplf. doable uppers and sola, made bread on the tread, oot to tight, with 1 - beels broad aad not too high, and put ! together in the most substantial manner. I They i had. better bo too large, than ! too small, for if too large they can ! be diWsd ®p vrilh something, which wil| j ■rtjlh— warmer. And, by the " dhji.VSe weald «ogg««l the propriety ef "taring slip redes for eacn yrair, io <wm thrj abmrid happen to be too Urge. - l*^ndlb»iy1«4K^of|H>or<lealber

i it won Id add to tbeir warmth. i ' ' ! We would also remind the friends of ; j the propriety of sending the soldiers j ' | some little luxuries in. the way of eata- ' i Lies , such as preserves, jellies, pickles, I ! ketchup butter etc., etc. These things ! < "j may be sent to Philadelphia, and for- 1 . ' warded by Adams' Express, at least : j while they remain where they now sre. ' , j^fow, friends, will you attend to this matter in time, and not let our gallant 1 | i soldiers suffer with cold and disease, sq 1 . ; far V1 f©° have the means df preventing ? ! • ! We think we hear one general response; 1 j ; We will. Thai's right. Wc like that j < 1 hearty and unanimoas response Let it [' i be carried out. » j But there if one item we hud forgot- ' j ten. There is nothing -w hich will more ' ■ conduce to health than a plenty of oay " ' i eane pepper, and at the same time warm 1 ' op the blood, ihns enabling the person j ' to endure cold. Let It be s?nt. Von 1 may send a little in each lefler. Wc ! have done so. To do this make a tight ' ' paper bag, a little slhallcr than your en- 1 vtlopc, put in a little cayenne, spreading it out in the bag ; fasten up the bag 1 1 tightly with paste or mucilage, and slip r l it into your letter. What ITit does i cost yon au extra three cents ; it may j - , save a ilear-^nes's life, besides adding : > greatly to his comfort, and make bis "rait junk" more palatable. And we j I would here give a word of advice to the 1 - j soldiers in this connection. If you get ; 1 h sore throat, take a piece of flannel, ' > > say four inches wide and long enough ' ; to reach around your neck. Make the 1 e | flannel into a bag half the width of it ; ' i i put a spoonful! or twoof fine salt in it, ! - aud wet the flannel in a strong decoc- ! , : lion of vinegar, salt aud cayenne, and | - j pin it around your neck, while as hot as i j you can bcir it. At the same time gari ; gle your throat with vinegar, salt and | - J cayenne. -Do this ss soon ss you fiel 1 , the first symptoms, repeating it frequent- j - ly, wetting the flannel around your neck j r I with the vinegar, salt^cfid cayoune as , j often as it becoiuc^ary, and, in nine 1 , j cases ont of tenytou will save yourself I 1 [ the pain and dtftigcr of diptheria or a j t severe sorajftioat- We know wli reof" ) I we a(fiuir,'wfcmvwc soy there, is nothing j i j belter, ^oldivrfriehda try it. Moth- i r | ers and wives fpcniih them with at least, t the cayenne, t^e flanucl if need be. j iiewIrkews. f We copy the following despatches as j I ' wc find them, which slate some facts, ; and report some rumors, as will be seeu ! I >by reading. It is a difficult matter to < - j ascertain, definitely, tbe movements of ; > our own army, aud much more diffiguli^ ' | to ascertaiu the movements of the re • i bels; hence only rumors and reports can i be given, in many iustaaees. Baltimore, Nov. 13. — The correspon- 1 donee of the American, dated Harper's j Ferry, to-day, says^ " Several parties have reached here from Martinsburg, from whom we have apparently reliable Information of the condition of- affairs in the Army of the j Potomac, up to Cherry Run, where Gen. , Kelly is staliooed. Tiie rebels bare ap- | parently entirely abandoned the line of j tbe Potomac. None of their troops j , have been srfen for nearly a wert. Our ' cavalry are actively scouting in the viei- 1 k nity of Martinsburg, or pat sing through i i *■" It was reported there that Jackson 'had retorned to Winchester with a con j siderabla force and was to move from tlmt poiut westward. » j Tbe bet'er opinion appears to be that if Jackson is in the valley at all it is for j tbe purpose of moving towards Stannton, { ^ as Gen. Cox's march toward that point, e with a Federal force, is exciting apprei beusions among the rebels. Last week. t Gee. Cox was kaowa to.be in Higblaod | . I county, within 40 miles of Suunton. j j Baltimore, Nov. 14. — The speoial ! i correspondence or the Baltimore A men- J " j can, dated Harper's ferry, to-day, con- | | taius the following important intelligeoco: ll is believed that Jackson is be- ' i ween WinchasUr and Harper's Ferry. * Parties from WinchaaUr, as well as f our scouts, all report that Jadmoa pass- \ ed through Wlnckrater on Monday, and

'• that Gen. Hill followed hjtn on Tuesday. Skirmishing between our pickets and ' r j those of ibo rebeb hat been renamed du- - c ring the last few days, and three of the ! 1 1 1st Maryland cavalry have been captur- I ®<fc' f i General Slocun, who is in command ! t 1 at Harper's Ferry, is fully awake to the t position of affairs, and has a sufficient j force to enable him to resist, them. « The rebel cavalry scoots are st ill said j | | to be on this side of the Blue Ridge ; ; , but beyond picking up stragglers and 1 i | capturing a tew sailers' wagons they ( | have accomplished nothing. 1 1 New York, Nov. 13. — Advices by • I the stealer Western World, froui Port ! 1 Rnynl, reports that an expedition, com- 1 prising 300 {Uiode Islanders, had torn : up the track ofshe Charleston and Savannah railroad. A large number of i rebel troops urr|red from Charleston, ; and oar forces rctrcaicd to their boats. Rebel deserters report that Beauregard intended to attack Fort l'ulaski ( , ' about the 17th inst. The engines were being removed from the steamer Nashville to be placed on one of the rains, of which several are almost ready. A negro company is doing picket du- j ! ty on St Simon's Island, under while ! officers, Two boats' crews of litem receiitly proceeded up Darii-q river, and j i captured two rebel Deputy Marshals 1 i aud two of the rebel pickets, i St. Catharine's IsLnd has been cvac- | uaU-d by the rebels, who took the tie- \ I irrot-s with them, killing two who refus- ! . ed to go.

Telegraphic communication baa been ; t resumed with Nashville. Gen. Rose- . ' arrived there on Monday evening, j ' Gen. and sUff came by a train from Green, without interruption by ; | ; guerillas. The storiee carrent about ; tbe starving condition of the city are fabrications.

Friday, Nov. 14. The 25th Reg. left camp on Sunday last : 1 and went oot about threa -tuile*. on picket < doty. We ware out two days. Qur lines ' 1 were a half-mile in advance of what they I "were the Snoday previous. Co's A and F ' i quartered and pigjeejed together. There . was aomS mialaka ia getting our provision loriy. and for awhile wt lived oo roasted corn. 4fha boy* went-out foraging and su- i cured corn in a neighbor'* field. Nothing ■ of note occurred while odt, excepting the 1 capture of several stragglers. Sergt. JSd- j 1 munds brought in four or fire individuals > that attempted to cross oor iiues at his post.

OurColonel.was presented with a splendidly mounted sword, lbs other evening, at dr**s parade. It was the gift of the men in Patterson who have been coder the employ of Col. Derrom. The chaplain made tbe presentation speech, which was replied to by tbe colonel, lie said that •• with the ' help of God. he would carry it tbrougb the contest with honor to himself, his regiment, our Union, and those who bad presented it." ■ The State of New Jersey has sent tbe ! 25th Itisiment a set of splendid colors. One is tbe National eosigo, and tho other I j is our State flag. Both are made of beaui j tiful silk. We are proud of them, and baro , sworn to stand by tbem through thick and | thin.

I should have staled long ago, that whea j wo were nt Camp Casey. Washington, the # i Sec. of War invited our colonel to slay in -*-■ ! with the 25th, and take the ! place of Ibe'lOth N: J. Regiment. The j colonel, however! would not accept of the offer. If lie had. I wonder if there would I not have been some shaking in the kneo* of ' Sorg't Harry Lawrence, io view of having tbe " pet lOtb " sent forward ibto the field. I am inclined to think that our brother I woulJ have got suddenly »ick, an.f obtained a furlough and started for tbe quiet scenes of Cape May, where be might have been under tbe protection of "the ! '• Grippletoniuu Guards." We lure invited Serg't L. to follow in tl.e rear of our rei gitnent. promising to show him of what maI tersal the " drafted nine mouths boys " are I composed. | Lieut .-Col. Ayres is still suffering from I typhoid fever. His wife if on here attendI ing to him. We all miss his presence, and | hope lie will soon be among us. J To give you some idea of tbe intelligence i ot unr regiment I make a statement of the ^ | number of letters sent from this camp since | Oct. 13. The.nfficial account is ten Uiou- | sand and twenty-five (10.025) letter*. AlI lowing three cents for a letter, tbe sum of three hundred dollars and seventy-five ' cents has accrued from this number of letters. Supposing that ourfriends have sent I in one for each letter that has gone ont. a " '■ j sum of six hundred dollars has been paid ' to Uncle Sanufor carrying the letters of I one regiment lor the period of about a J month. Postmaster Baker desires me to request those who write letters to tin* regiment to be particular tn writing tho natnw or the regiment and the letter or company perfectly readable lfwAltra plain ft wilt -i ; avoid trouble. Soldier# pockets ar* geltius welldreaned of mooey. Tlicy have been looking for pay, but lam told this morning that we will not be paid before April next. There will be some growling if they pat it off that long. « One of yonr typos made me to say -in * my last letter, that wu mustered eighty files on review. The nntnber should have been eight.
