for a haw. oh so aunpptuoua and priwt a
scale as this We i? dwarfed' even.jo the
msgnificient hall TI^JLodnamed
after the Soqthenf. States, are
ranged down thesides of the hall, five on
each side, aad the remaining two form a
large central tent, from the apex of whioh
rises a triplet of tri-colored flags. Trieolored
drapery also roofs the stalls, and
it being of hunting instead of the ordinary
glazed cOlico, gives a peculiar soft and rich
appearance, and heightens the effectiveness
of the harmonious color contrasts. The
stallB aTe alternately square and octagonal
in shape, the ootagons having tent or spiral
roofs rising to a point, and capped with
the Confederate flag; and the square ones,
loping roofs, reaching about half way up,
to the gallery. The counters are covered
with crimson cloth, and a drapery valance,
which tods round the top of eaoh stall,
forms a very graceful cornice. The valance
itself is elaborately decorated with a blue
margin and a prettily 'designed red, white
and blue centre, and. above tbe top margin
is a neat border, terminating in a tri-color
cord, which runs from stall to stall. The
paneliugsat the bottom of the stalls are of
white drapery, relieved by blue; and the
panels themselves are divided by gold beading
and flated at the bottom. At the south
end of the halt, and in the middle of the
floor, is the auction stand, an octagonally
shaped platform, whioh is to be at first appropriated
for the larger and heavier articles.
Jft, too, is wrapped in crimson, and
bears ingeniously designed coirfbinatioas of
colors. Tbe panels are fluted and have
gold mouldings; and the centre is studded
wftb blue and white rosettesv The central
teDt, to which we have already referred &b
the largest, is also the most complete; one
half of it forms the Kentucky stall, presided
over by the Lady De Houghton and
Sits. pHvdiy and the other half cif the Tennessee
stall, at whioh the Lady Iff. Be'resford
Hope and Mrs. F. Hull presided.
**^iiffbUaIl^gS^CdBfederale and "British
?are displayed throughout tbe hall; but
these have been selected with a judiciousness-and
taste whioh has rather tended to
subdue effects, and thus prevent the glare
and gaudiness which probably would otherwise
have been apparent. Thus at the apex
of each of the bell-roofed sectional octagon
tents are small triplets?a tri-color of the
Confederacy being in the centre, and the
English and French flags on either side.?
At -the stall named "Georgia," which is the
fourth on the left-hand side, the flag of the
ship Georgia is exhibited ; and it may be.,
interesting to mention that tbis same stall
is presided over by Mrs. Bullock, the wfie
of Captain Bnllook, of the famous man-ofwar.
The fronts of all the stalls are covered
with small silk banners bearing the stars of
the Confederacy and the motto Deo Vindice.
On entering the ball from the east lobby,
the first stall on the left hand is "Virginia,"
held by the Countess de Dampierre,
Mrs. Phttertqn and Mrs. M. G:
Klingender. - The greatest attractions on
this stall are a number of artistically designed
albnms of the Confederate generals,
a bronze of Mephi9topheles, and various
small articles of interest.
"North Carolina" is the next stall in
order, and it is presided over by Mrs.
Spenoe and Mrs. F. Warthington. It is
riohly laden with China vases, and contains
a magnificently gilt clock.' *
"South Carolina," the next stall, is held
by the Lady Wharncliffe and Mrs. Prioleau.
It contains chiefly small, but richlv
r ' *
wrought, articles of needlework, scarfs,
pictures and baskets of elegant workmanship.
The "Georgia" stall is very finely decorated
externally, but ther interior is devoted j
chiefly to baby-liDen; the only other af- j
tide worth notice here being a couriously
shaped large clook.. The ladies presiding
are Mrs. Bullock and Mrs. Trapmann.
"Florida" is presided over by Mrs. Casein
and Mrs. Patriok. It contains many
valuable and elegant pieces of workmanship
in worsted, exquisitely wrought screen
needlework, two bassinets, gilt ottoman,
and a laron nf urn all farna and nth.
ar articles.
The centre stalls?-<'Kentucky" and
"Tennessee"?will probably be found the
most attractive, not only from their position,
bat also from the great variety of their contents.
"Kentucky" is kept by the lady
De Houghton and Mrs. G. W.' Oliver. Among
its exhibitions is a doll house, five
feet eight inches high, valued at seventy
pounds. We noticed, also, a very elegant
silver centre piece, wbiob had been designed
by Mrs. Oliver. The design consisted
of a tripod base, from which springs a palmetto
tree, supporting the glass. At the
base of the stem is a figure representing the
Confederate States, draped flag of the
Confederacy, and holding in her bands the
emblems of Faith. Hope and Charity. On
the reverse side is a bale of cotton and the
war flag of the Confederates. The "Tennessee"
part of the tent is kept by the Ladj
M. Beresford Hope and Mrs. F liuil.
Here is a large a^id apparently very valuable,
doll's bedstead, a pioture of the Holy
Family in Parian, a box of small busts of
leffersop Davis, sent by Lady Beresford
Hope, and some small Swiss ornaments.

tide, ii devoted W eome of the most inter.

The President closes by reiterating his *a
willingness that this government negotiate o
for peace. Peace is'manifestly impossible tl
unless desired by both parties to this for j a
and a disposition towards it among our ene- tl
mies will be best and most certainly evoked b
by a demonstration on our pajrt of the ahii- ri
ity and unshaken determination to defend d
our rights. Let us then resolutely contin- o
ue to devote our united energies to'defehd il
> *
esting and costly articles of the bazaar.?
Among these' is a olook representing the
pStbedral of Milan, in poarl shell. The
' stall also contains rope danoers, various
f other figures, boxes of coins, pieces of neeI
die work (one of these valned at thirty
i guineas,) and models, of wild Alabama
- flowers in wax: Alabama kept by Mrs.
. Mai com son and Mrs. Pratt.
y ?TSe Mississippi tent is kept by the"
1 Countess' of Chesterfield and the Hon. Mr#.
, Slidell. It'contains many of the most use-;
, fal. contributions; among Which are'rogS of
bearskin; There is also here a large coli
lection of Bohemian dolls. The care of the
I tent named "Louisiana" is confided to Mrs.
Y Byue, Mrs. T. Byrne and Mrs. F. Roder
wald. ' This stall contains a very handsofie
Indian cover from Canada, * single monkey
f staffed, and a couple of monkeys stuffed, a
miniature organ, a French toilet table, and
smaller articles lor the toilet.
"Texas" lis devoted to jewelry, statuettes,
time-pieces, tapestry and several richly
worked aereens. Mrs. A. Forwood, Mrs.
W. Forwood; and Mrs. Hoyn are the ladies

President's Message. i
Richmond, Nov. 7.?Congress met to-r, i
day, pursuant to adjournment. The Presi- <
dent's message was-received and read- It <
begins with a review of the military opera- I
fcions since the adjournment of Congress in I
June, and recognizes the protection of (
Providepqo in enabling us snopessfolj^ to j
withstand the most strenuous efforts for our j
subjugation. We have recovered Texas t
from the enemy, pud Arkansas with the .
exception of a few fortified posts, and near- -jj
' ly the whole of Northwestern Mississippi, j
Northern Alabama, and West Tennessee ,i
are again in oar possession. All attempts ,j
to penetrate from our ooasts have been baffled.
In Southwestern Virginia BUeoessive
armies have been routed, and.a portion, of j
East Tennessee recovered by our troops..
The main' arpjy of "our eneftjy, after * (
series of defeats, the constant repulse of re- ]
pcated assaul ts, is still engaged, in thnef- , c
fort to capture Fetersbuj^ .JjSe.?army.of ! |
Sherman succeeded iu obtaining possession t
of AtianTaVBut'was "unable to-secure any j
ultimate advantage from this success. Had, t
we been compelled to evaouate Richmond, j.
as well as Atlanta, the Confederacy wotild f
have remained as defiant as ever. No mili- j
tary success, of the enemy can accomplish t
the destruction of the Confederacy nor save j.
the enemy from the constant drain of blood ?
and treasure,- which must continue until he j
shall discover that there' is no peace attain- j

indefensijble rights: , I
No chungc in the conduct of foreign powera
is recognizable: Otir independent is c
withheld from the assumption that oar re* :
cognition would be valueless wfthoatinfceiv j
vention. We wish no intervention. _W e ,
know ourselves fully competent to maintain c
cur rights and independence.,' Peace is ^
impossible without independence, and it is j
not to be expected that the enemy will an- j.
ticipate ncutral powers in the recognition
of that independence.
The total amount of the public debt on
the 1st of October was one billion oneJhUndred
and. thirty million of dollafs. No additional
appropriation for the public services 4
are needed up to the 1st of July, afc the 4
unexpended appropriations exceed the es- f
timates for that time. ( ^ ' *
The Secretary of the Treasury recoih* c
mends th^t the faith of the government be c
pledged, that the notes shall ever' remalh E
exempt from taxation, that no issue bo 8
made beyond that already authorized, and ^
that a portion of the receipts of tax in kind a
De pieagea to graauate tne redemption 01 "

Referring to the report of the Secretary 8
of "War, .the President says the exemption 0
from military duty of persons following ^
certain specified pursuits and professions, 1
is unwise and not defensible in theory P
Discretion should be vested in the military
authorities, so that a sufficient number of <1
those essential'to the public service be de- 8
tailed to continue to exercise their pursuits ^
and professions, and that exemption from ^
the service of entire classes should be whol- 0
ly abandoned. Various recommendations a
of the Secretary of War are referred to and n
approved, among which is a re-organization P
and consolidation of reduced regiments. 11
In regard to prisoners of war, the Presi- a
dent says each government hereafter will 0
be allowed to provide the necessary comforts
for its citizens held captive by the .a
other. ?
The subject of employing negroes in the i<
army is discussed at some length. The li
President dissents from those who advise a i
general levy and arming of the slaves for a
the uuty of soldiers, but recommends the t
emrilovment of 40.000 to be used as uioneers' c
/ r
and engineer laborers, in addition to the a
duties heretofore performed by them. He fi
favors the acquisition for $he public ser- 'n

lew the press have come in, and by their

The Yankee Prisoners who Took
he Oath.?Oa Sunday morning last, l
90 native Irishmen, who have been Fede- ?
si prisoners in onr hands, for over twelve
lonths past, reached this oity, from Flor- ^
nee, a. C.f and passed through on their
ray to join Hood's army. .
The above mentioned -prisoners were re-' cased
an exchange by the Yankee Govern- ,
lent in consequence of fbeir time having :<j
an oat, and feeling that tfiey had not keen I
rested right by said Government, and with c
view to revenge, took the oath of alleigi- p
nee to the Confederate States, and were [
nly sworn into oar army by a Catholic 0
'rlest at Florence, S. (J. t
They are all strong; hearty and robust
>oking men, and are now on their way to
)in the army of Tennessee, ^hey have
zpressed a wish that they.may be allowed 1<
i join thd gallant Gen. Pat. Cleburn's 'e
orps, that General being a natiwe of their g
wa dear Ireland* They all swear ten- <f
eance against the enemy if- they are ever 4
icky enough to meet him in the tented
sld. v
The above "parties represent that a large ;
