failg futcUigentt*. "Mnnday^oramg. November 14 ^^Short" Days.These days, says a cotemporary, whether crisp, racy, and bril- Iiant, or dim and dull, last a very little while. The gleaming sun marches quickly acrosB.tbe sky. The western heavens ear¬ ly glow with bis setting splendor, and the deep shadow of night iB over the land, and the timid stars are twinkling in the dark vault overhead almost before the simple words "J nek Robinsou" could be uttered even by the fastest and glibbest of tongueB. The days are brief, indeed, and are soon over. Life is exactly like them.a winged day. Have not thousands of sermonB and large'piies of poems called attention to the stubborn truth that it is an easy road to the grave ? Does not every rattling leaf of autumn whisper it ? Are not sable hearses for ever moving tip and down the mocking streets with their cold and pulseless bur¬ dens ? And yet it is painfully certain that a dry leaf seldom arrests thoughtful atten¬ tion, and equally indisputable that we can glance at the carriage of the dead witbout a sudden sinking and chilliness of the heart, and go whistling and tripping on our way. Flirtations are carried on in whitened cem¬ eteries, and endden decease is not awfully impressive to most of us. We would go on to say, if we were a moralist, that the scantiness of life, imaged in the brevity ot these days, should have a weighty influence. Work while the day lasts 1 Act out good purposes while there is light and hope. Emulate the industri¬ ous insect immortalized by Dr. Watts, and "improve each shining hour." Make hay while the sun shines, as a sage bas sug¬ gested. Try to do something in every hour. Something that will stand you in good Btead by-and-by, when great business talents and smartness will not be taken into consideration. The nignt comes.the night of eternity.and the day of time is fading and flickering out so speedily. , gQf Tub River..Tns Wild Waoonrb. .Tl»e river was failing yesterday with al- ^ most twelve and a half leet water in the ^ channel. A cold raw drizziling rain de¬ scended during the whole of Saturday, and occasionally a few stray flakes of snow. The new Wheeling and Cincinnati pack- E ct Wild Wagoner, Captain H. H. Drowo, , made a trial trip at-Cinciunati on Wed- i nes-lay evening. The Commercial in giv- E ing quite a lengthy description of the boat , says, that notwithfltading an unusually t high head wind which prevailed, she ban- f died like a top, under the skillful guidance , of Captain Lev. Knowles, who was at the , wheel, her speed indicating that she will , be one of the fastest steamers afloat ono* | .waters. The hull of the Wild Wagnoner is 232 feet long, 37 feet beam, with G feet f depth of hold. The machinery consists of 1 three boilers 40 inches in diameter, 24 feet ( long, each containing 21 6 inch flues. ^ The cylinders are 24 j inches in diameter, with 71 feet length of stroke, working a I pair of water wheels 30$ feet in diameter, £ 11 feet length of bucket. The cabin is ex-11 ceeding neat, capacious and furnished with f the most exquieite taste throughout, hav- I £ ing superior accommodations for one hun¬ dred and fifty passengers. The Wild Wag- ( oner has capacity for 700 tons, and trims I ( on 33 inohes of water. The painting is a I highly creditable specimen of good taste. The Wild Wagoner was built expressly , for the Cincinnati and Wheeling packet ( trade, regardless of expense, under the | personal supervision of Capt. H. H. Drown. I She is owned by David Gibson & Co., and Captain Drown. The Wild Wagoner is « certainly the finest and best equipped pas- f senger and freight steamer ever construct- I ed for the Wheeling trade. Her guards and deck room are unusually roomy, while the boat ia gracefully proportioned j throughout. The Wagoner cost $115,000. Sbe is officeredpe follows: Pilots, DroBe I Dennis and Ellis Mace; Chiet Engineer, Al- fred Huff; Clerks, Cbrifl. Best and CharleB Knox; Steward, Jos. Dodson. The Wild < Wagoner is named after T. Buchanan Read's poem of tbe same name. Mr. Read is engaged in painting a picture of the "Wild Wagoner," which will adorn the j' cabin. J®»Thb Markbts..Owing to the dis- , -agreeable state of the weather on Saturday . morning, the supply of comforts for the j inner man was not as large as usual, nor was tbe attendance of consumers as nu- merons. Baltimore sweet potatoes sold at ^ 75 cents a peck; sweet potatoes raised here I sold at 50 cents Irish potatoes still com¬ mand 40 cents a peck, and cabbage per head, (some of them aa large as a half bushel measure.) 5 and 10 cents. Tur-1 nips 20 cents a peck; appleB 25 and 50 ots; parsnips 5 cts. a bunch. Eggs are 30 cts. I a dozen, and scarce at that. Butter bas dropped down a peg, and the best can now I be bad at 40 oents. Chiokens are 40 and 50 cents apiece, according to the size, and I turkey is sold at 20 cents a pound. In meats there is no change. f@»Niw Qovibnmmt Barracks..The ¦Government is about to commence the ereotion of a new barraoks one mile below Senwood. Tbe barracks are to be frame work and plaBtered. Tbe building will be laid out in regular fort style upon a nine acre lot, and the establishment will be com¬ manded by a field officer. Tbe bsrracks will be oapable of accommodating one thousand men. The object of the erection of tbe building is to have a place for sol¬ diers about to be mustered out, so that most of the military business heretofore done in the city will be transacted at the barracks. pyiWnm Pbisohbrb..Several rebel prisoners reached the city on Saturday morning, and were committed to the Athe- oeum. They were taken recently in Ma¬ rion aai adjoining counties, having come home Iron tine rebel army. They all have furloughs in tbeif pockets from the rebel authorities. £&*-Mobk Rircaiis.How thiy got Awat ABO WHAT TH1T Sat..Another lot of aboot twenty refugees from different portions of Old Virginia arrived in the city on Satarda/. Daring their stay they were quartered in the Union Campaign Olnb Room. The most of them are shrewd intelligent men, and a few were original secessionists. They inform as that in or¬ der to escape the rebel pickets, they trav- iled through the mountains for more than a hundred miles without striking a road.. They came in tbrongh Greenland Qap, abont fire thousand men baring preceded them on the same route. Some of the men with whom we conversed are from the southern part of the State and others from the eastern part, from neither of which sections are the means of escape so easy. Those who desire to come North have therefore to employ a little strategy, the employment of which is not necessary in the Valley. The last call of the rebel authorities, made about a month ago, was for the men who bad been previously de¬ tailed to gather crops and carry on indis¬ pensable manufactories. They were or¬ dered to report at differentptaces and were allowed to choose a regiment in which to serve. These men selected regiments do¬ ing duty in the Valley, knowing that their chances of escape would be better. TheBe men say that Early does not bope to oocu- py the valley much longer. All the gov¬ ernment stores are being removed to LyDobburg. Two of the refugees of whom we speak, assured as that they bad heard hundreds of rebel soldiers say they would desert if Lincoln was elected.that it was no use lighting any longer and that they would iot do it. tGf- Fkbbonal..Captain Charles I.

Ntw Yoax, Nov. 12..The Richmond bentinel of Wednesday last, says a large fleet of Union gnn boats and iron elads «re in the James river. It also says, the union soldiers are net yet making any preparations for winter quarters, and that it is rumored that Grant contemplates a movement on Wilmington by the way of Weldon and that he is already sending troops to the lstter place. The Herald's New Orleane correspondent says, our gnn boats were yesterday at the month of the Red river, watobing for three formidable rebel rams, which were expect¬ ed down as aoon as .the water ehonld rise sufficiently. Jeff. Davis' currency has been almost entirely set aside by the rebels of Texas, only gold and and silver oeing accepted. One hundred and filty car loads of cot¬ ton belonging to private individuals des¬ tined for Mexico, have been stopped at Oolllad; Texas, by the rebel General Kirby Smith, only shipments on the rebel gov- ©foment account being permitted. Home of the people of New Orleans had petitioned to Gen Hurlbut against their en¬ rollment for doty as soldiers. Torpedoes have been placed in the Mis¬ sissippi along the Louisiana shore by the rebels, but they will soun be removed. There is little news from Mobile.

The most desperate attack was made on the Rough and Ready road. Tbe enemy's artillery was within 100 yards of oor works, and their infantry and dismounted cavalry wilhin 200 yards. Our men were aroused from their slumber, and quickly manned the defenses. They soon drove the rebels off the field. Our lose none. The enemy was part of Young's command, and finally retreated towards Macon. Our army is in excellent spirits tnd well supplied with rations. The Bebel Congress Naw York, Nov. 12.A late Richmond papers contain the proceedings of the reb- u Congress.

Y.,Nov. 12..Tb« American . dispatch from Roanoke Island dated Nov. Sod, 1864, wherein (bere is ao ac¬ count of the destruction of the rebel ram Albemarle. The writer gives the follow¬ ing particular* of the recapture of Ply¬ mouth, N. C-, by our navy: The final remit of that bold expedition by Lieut. UnAing, haa accomplished a great deal, and baa been tbe cause of delivering quite a number of persons from starvation. After this was done, tbe fleet, under Commander W. H. Macomb, pro¬ ceeded up the Roanoke river to witbin a short distance of the town when they came to some obstructions, and after exchang¬ ing a few shots retired. On Sunday tbe fleet agaiD proceeded up tbe Roanoke river above tbe town and shelled Plymouth with telling effect. On Monday morning Commander Macomb started dewn tbe river followed by the re¬ mainder of b's fleet, and while passing op¬ posite the town gave the rebels shell, grape and canister to their hearts' cooteoL Macomb then landed about 100 men from his ship, and in charge of Lieut. Deweyes aod Paymaster Sands they immediately charged upon Fort Battamen, carrying it aod capturing about 40 prisoners. The rebels finding it too severe evacuated tbe town immediately. We captured 40 pieces of heavy artillery, 22 pieces of light anil- lery, together with a large quantity of small arms.

^^Short" Days.These days, says a

cotemporary, whether crisp, racy, and bril-Iiant, or dim and dull, last a very littlewhile. The gleaming sun marches quicklyacrosB.tbe sky. The western heavens ear¬

ly glow with bis setting splendor, and thedeep shadow of night iB over the land, andthe timid stars are twinkling in the darkvault overhead almost before the simplewords "J nek Robinsou" could be utteredeven by the fastest and glibbest of tongueB.The days are brief, indeed, and are soon

over. Life is exactly like them.a wingedday. Have not thousands of sermonB andlarge'piies of poems called attention to thestubborn truth that it is an easy road tothe grave ? Does not every rattling leaf ofautumn whisper it ? Are not sable hearsesfor ever moving tip and down the mockingstreets with their cold and pulseless bur¬dens ? And yet it is painfully certain thata dry leaf seldom arrests thoughtful atten¬

tion, and equally indisputable that we can

glance at the carriage of the dead witbouta sudden sinking and chilliness of the heart,and go whistling and tripping on our way.Flirtations are carried on in whitened cem¬eteries, and endden decease is not awfullyimpressive to most of us.

We would go on to say, if we were a

moralist, that the scantiness of life, imagedin the brevity ot these days, should have a

weighty influence. Work while the daylasts 1 Act out good purposes while thereis light and hope. Emulate the industri¬ous insect immortalized by Dr. Watts, and"improve each shining hour." Make haywhile the sun shines, as a sage bas sug¬gested. Try to do something in everyhour. Something that will stand you ingood Btead by-and-by, when great businesstalents and smartness will not be takeninto consideration. The nignt comes.thenight of eternity.and the day of time isfading and flickering out so speedily. ,

gQf Tub River..Tns Wild Waoonrb..Tl»e river was failing yesterday with al-

^most twelve and a half leet water in the

^channel. A cold raw drizziling rain de¬scended during the whole of Saturday, andoccasionally a few stray flakes of snow.The new Wheeling and Cincinnati pack- E

ct Wild Wagoner, Captain H. H. Drowo, ,

made a trial trip at-Cinciunati on Wed- ines-lay evening. The Commercial in giv- E

ing quite a lengthy description of the boat ,

says, that notwithfltading an unusually t

high head wind which prevailed, she ban- f

died like a top, under the skillful guidance ,of Captain Lev. Knowles, who was at the ,

wheel, her speed indicating that she will ,

be one of the fastest steamers afloat ono* |.waters. The hull of the Wild Wagnoneris 232 feet long, 37 feet beam, with G feet

fdepth of hold. The machinery consists of

1three boilers 40 inches in diameter, 24 feet

(long, each containing 21 6 inch flues.

^The cylinders are 24j inches in diameter,with 71 feet length of stroke, working a Ipair of water wheels 30$ feet in diameter, £11 feet length of bucket. The cabin is ex-11ceeding neat, capacious and furnished with f

the most exquieite taste throughout, hav- I £

ing superior accommodations for one hun¬

dred and fifty passengers. The Wild Wag- (oner has capacity for 700 tons, and trims I (on 33 inohes of water. The painting is a Ihighly creditable specimen of good taste.

The Wild Wagoner was built expressly ,

for the Cincinnati and Wheeling packet (

trade, regardless of expense, under the |

personal supervision of Capt. H. H. Drown. IShe is owned by David Gibson & Co., and

Captain Drown. The Wild Wagoner is «

certainly the finest and best equipped pas- f

senger and freight steamer ever construct- I

ed for the Wheeling trade. Her guardsand deck room are unusually roomy,while the boat ia gracefully proportioned jthroughout. The Wagoner cost $115,000.Sbe is officeredpe follows: Pilots, DroBe IDennis and Ellis Mace; Chiet Engineer, Al-fred Huff; Clerks, Cbrifl. Best and CharleBKnox; Steward, Jos. Dodson. The Wild <

Wagoner is named after T. BuchananRead's poem of tbe same name. Mr. Readis engaged in painting a picture of the"Wild Wagoner," which will adorn the j'cabin.

J®»Thb Markbts..Owing to the dis- ,

-agreeable state of the weather on Saturday .

morning, the supply of comforts for the jinner man was not as large as usual, nor

was tbe attendance of consumers as nu-

merons. Baltimore sweet potatoes sold at^

75 cents a peck; sweet potatoes raised here Isold at 50 cents Irish potatoes still com¬mand 40 cents a peck, and cabbage perhead, (some of them aa large as a halfbushel measure.) 5 and 10 cents. Tur-1nips 20 cents a peck; appleB 25 and 50

ots; parsnips 5 cts. a bunch. Eggs are 30 cts. Ia dozen, and scarce at that. Butter bas

dropped down a peg, and the best can now Ibe bad at 40 oents. Chiokens are 40 and50 cents apiece, according to the size, and Iturkey is sold at 20 cents a pound. In

meats there is no change.

f@»Niw Qovibnmmt Barracks..The¦Government is about to commence the

ereotion of a new barraoks one mile belowSenwood. Tbe barracks are to be framework and plaBtered. Tbe building will be

laid out in regular fort style upon a nine

acre lot, and the establishment will be com¬manded by a field officer. Tbe bsrrackswill be oapable of accommodating one

thousand men. The object of the erectionof tbe building is to have a place for sol¬diers about to be mustered out, so thatmost of the military business heretoforedone in the city will be transacted at thebarracks.

pyiWnm Pbisohbrb..Several rebelprisoners reached the city on Saturdaymorning, and were committed to the Athe-oeum. They were taken recently in Ma¬rion aai adjoining counties, having comehome Iron tine rebel army. They all have

furloughs in tbeif pockets from the rebelauthorities.

£&*-Mobk Rircaiis.How thiy gotAwat ABO WHAT TH1T Sat..Another lotof aboot twenty refugees from differentportions of Old Virginia arrived in thecity on Satarda/. Daring their stay theywere quartered in the Union CampaignOlnb Room. The most of them are shrewdintelligent men, and a few were originalsecessionists. They inform as that in or¬der to escape the rebel pickets, they trav-iled through the mountains for more thana hundred miles without striking a road..They came in tbrongh Greenland Qap,abont fire thousand men baring precededthem on the same route. Some of themen with whom we conversed are from thesouthern part of the State and others fromthe eastern part, from neither of whichsections are the means of escape so easy.Those who desire to come North havetherefore to employ a little strategy, theemployment of which is not necessaryin the Valley. The last call of the rebelauthorities, made about a month ago, wasfor the men who bad been previously de¬tailed to gather crops and carry on indis¬pensable manufactories. They were or¬dered to report at differentptaces and wereallowed to choose a regiment in which toserve. These men selected regiments do¬ing duty in the Valley, knowing that theirchances of escape would be better. TheBemen say that Early does not bope to oocu-

py the valley much longer. All the gov¬ernment stores are being removed toLyDobburg.Two of the refugees of whom we speak,

assured as that they bad heard hundreds ofrebel soldiers say they would desert ifLincoln was elected.that it was no use

lighting any longer and that they wouldiot do it.
