LOCAL1 ' AFFAIRS. T ' ; i f Remember tiib - Pooit: -A winter ap- -proaching, which may prove to be a very se. . vcre one ; oui even 11 it snouia De unprecedent cdly niikl, it is certain that there will be many poor people in every large city who will be in want and distress. "The poor ye have always with ye,," and poverty is not subordinate to climate. People are in distress in summer as well asjin winter, but somehow it happens that very few except those who make it a duty to Beek the abodes of poverty, think much in re gard to the sufferings of their fellow creatures, except at times when frost, chill winds and ice render them 'uncomfortable. "Whilst one is subject to the disagreeable visitation of a storm, although he may make himself as comforta ble as the means and luxuries at his command will permit, an occasional thought will intrude ' itself, as to what may be the condition of others not so happily situated. Charity is a winter virtue, rather than a summer generosi ty. If ithe records of those' benevolent' socie ties, which act with unfaltering' kindness for the benefit of the poor, could be inspected, it would be found that the greater portion of the donations which enables them to do good ; are received in . the three winter . months. A more equal distribution of charity would doubtless insure better results, but almoners cannot disburse until they have the means, and they must take contributions when they are offered, and do without them when there is slowness among those who have the ability to be gjmerous. The season is, however, ap- Tiroachinj? when it is usual to mve, and when f - r ---- ... o . ... . , . ,. - - - ., it is necessary to expend, and we therefore de sire to ay a fe w words to the benevolent about the propriety; of liberal donations. Those who choose to be their own almoners can find many worthy objects upon whom they can well em ploy their time and their kindness. If they do noj wish to distribute their bounty, there are some excellent societies in our midst, : whose officers make the( rendering of assistance ; to the worthy poor a regular care. There are ; a number of organizations here, ' either one of; which: would distribute , the charities" others might be willing to bestow ; but above and -beyond everything else : care should be taken to raise funds and organize relief before win ter is in full blast. Let the leaders in this no i : blc work be up and doing sow.; - ' j CIex. Sickle's okdeu Against Trading in . Soutiiern Commodities. Major General Dan iei E.j Sickles, commanding the Department of the Smith J which includes our state, has is sued an order providing that no officer, sol dier or person on duty in the department in :.. any capacity subject to military authority, ' will be allowed to trade, ' either asprincipal, factor 'or agent; directly or indirectly, in cot ton, rice, or other products or merchandise of any jrind, within the limits of the district or postjwhere he is stationed. The order pro vides that no person will be permitted to jn- terfere with the right of the freed, people, in common with all others, to sell and dispose of ; the products of their labor in their own way as they may choose. This order is not to be construed to revoke any temporary regulation established by competent authority, prohibi ; ting the sale of products raised on shares un til the crops shall have been prepared for mar- ket and properly divided, nor to prevent an . authorized officer or agent on duty in the freejdmenV bureau from acting as umpire in the 'settlement ot disputes arising out of the 5 division of crops raised on shares. . ' doRNS.-i-As we every day hear remarks and eonlplaints bf corns, and as this pleasant weather is destined to warm up these often excruciating I 'marks of tenderness" on- the toes of many unfortunates, we indite the fol lowing recipe, which is said to be a certain cure : ; "Scrape a piece of common chalk, and put a pinch to the .soft corn, and bind a linen rag upon it. Repeat the application " during a few days, and you will find the corn come off like a shell, and perfectlylcufed. The cure is simple! and efficacious. - Wno is the Man ?

The regulations of the the Treasury Department only allow weighers of cotton fifteen cents per bale If more has been charged the parties have thej right to demand its return, and if they refuse, to have them arrested. If the planter or merchant furnishes the scales and the hands for weighing the co t&nij they can not charge anything legally. How to Treat Ye Confidence Man.

Next in grandeur and sublimity , toa . total solar eclipse, or a great comet stretched, ath wart the starry heavens is the great meteoric shower, such"fs was witnessed in November, 1833. On this occasion from- two o'clock till broad daylight, the sky being perfectly serene and cloudless, the whole heavens, were lighted with a magnificerit and imposing display of Celestial fireworks. Arago Computes that not. less than two hundred and forty thousand me teors were visible above the horizon at Boston on the morning of the 13th' of November, 1833. ; This display was seen all over North America. A similar display was seen by Humbolt at Camana, South America in 17S9. A comparison of the epochs of appearance of these great showers has led to the discovery that they are periodic, their returns being se- I . i.' i.

Professor It ewton, ? oi 1 ale college, whblias devoted much time to the in vestigation of the periodic character of these showers, finds that a prodigious flight of "me teors, the most imposing of its kind; will make its appearance, probably for the last time in this century, on the morning of the 13th of November next.

It says; "The Sul tan cannot lay claim to the assistance of the Viceroy of Egypt in the present contest as a right ; if he Obtains it, he does : so by making the Viceroy his V ally.! At this moment there are 25,000 Egyptian troops in Candia. main tained at the Viceroy's exclusive charge; ; and liis Highness has engaged to send more if more are required.5 This intervention of the Vice roy in a qnarrel which'does not belong to him, he must be assumed to take with the consent ol the r great , European Powers,- or to speak plainly, of the governments of England and France;' since without that" consent it ' would have been impossible. ' We do not overlook the difficulties of the case, or the extreme de sirability of; postponing as, long as possible the inevitabl catastmphe of the Ottoman Em pire, when we affirm that this alliance between two Mahonimedan .and - semi-barbarous states to hold a Christian people in a hateful bond age is a shame, and a disgrace. to, the powers by whom it is tolerated." ; J ' 17:1 I; iThe Potomac Gold OT!nev i f ? , ; AYe hear xathr encouraging reports from tlie gold diggings in"Mbntgomery county and Vir ginia, the companies having machinery in op eartion doing very well. 1 The5 companies up the river are the : ' Union Arch,"; near - Cabin John.Bndge, the " Maryland,". and.' Henry," near the Great Falls and others. The " Eure ka" company, which are at work oh Wind ham's farm, three miles, fronv Rockville, ' be sides gold, have found copper in considerable quantities and they are very, sanguine that When they get their machinery in operation, which, will be in a few weeks, they will do a paying business. Thepafties at work on the -Virginia side of the river are reported to be doing well, , and expect shortly to put tlieir machinery in operation. .; ; s ; ' - "'" v - " ,1 ? f ; Tlie Pope -and Italy.-1- -f The Time of the 12th, in a leading arti cle, reprehends tbe French idea of raising a a foreign' legion for the defence of the Pope. It says it is worse than useless.' The article thus concludes : I "before the 10th 'of Decem ber approaches, Sayerio Vegazzi or some other agent of King Victor . Emanuel ; will be again closeted with Pius IX., and the last soldier of the French garrison -' will j ust leave Rome at one gate as an Italian soldier enters it !at an other. Upon exchanging French for Italian protection,, the Pope will be able to . dispense with the Antibes -Legion' T?ie enlistment of that' Legion was a step in the wrong'direction, a blunder on the part of every one who had a hand in it. Even before the crisis comes, we should not be surprised,, if , the prediction of our Paris correspondent were, realized, and if it were -found that the legion - gave; more trouble, than it is worth, and had to be broken up. Postal Money Orders and Bankers Draft. , A clerk of one of the business houses of this city was sent cut recently to inquire the price of a draft of $4,800 on 1 California. He ascer tained that it would be three per cent or $144: His , principal' directed? him to go to a well known., banker to see if better tenns could be obtained. The clerk, mistaking the name giv en' him, called on postmaster Kelly, and was informed that his money could bb sent by post office orders for $34.
