Socks for soldiers.

--Gov. Moore, of Alabama, has issued a proclamation to the ladies of that State, advising that each of them knit one pair of substantial woolen socks, and deposit the same with the judge of the probate court of the county in which she resides, who will have them forwarded to the Governor of Alabama, at Montgomery — from whence they will be forwarded free of cost to the soldiers, before the cold weather commences.
