and urbanity which have, these many years
past, marked him. by common consent, as

VIRGINIA AND N. CAROLINA.

The FIGHT AT DRANESvILLE.-On the
goth a portion of our Potomac army were
repulsed by force of the enemy, said to
be five times our superior. At 4 o'clock in
the morning Gen. Stuart, with a hundred
and fifty cavalry, the jeff Davis Artillery,
the First Kentucy Regiment, the Tenth
Alabama, the Eleventh Virginia and the
Sixth South Carolina Regiments, being a
portion of Gen. Long treet's division, left
the camp at CentrevIlle, to attempt the
capture of a Federal foraging party at
Dranesville, sixteen miles from Centreville
As they approached the place they found
the Yankees fifteen thousand strong, when
General START with his force, less than
three thousand, attacked them. The fight
lasted the greater portion of the day, when
the Confederates withdrew, retiring in per-
feet order and saving with them all their
forage wagons, &c.
Ga Saturday our troops took possession
of Dranesyille. That place was occupied
by the Yankees on Friday, and when our
forces approached it on SATURDAY., the Yam
KEGS gave good evidence of A(etness in
double-quick movements out of our reach.
Not gun was fired.
The Federals who were killed and wound
ed on Friday, number about three hundred
and the Confederate loss was fifty killed,
one hundred and thirty wounded, and forty
missing. This report is believed to be cor
rect.
STONE WALL BRIGADE.-Gen. Jackson,
with E8ell's Brigade, left Winchester on
the 10Th instant, and on reaching the river
succeeded in destroying dam No. 3, which
is feeder to the Chesapeake uud Ohio
canal. By the destruction Of this splendid
stone dam, water communication is cut off
between Washington and the coal region of
Maryland and the Federal capital is thus
reduced to the greatest straits.
WESTERN VIRGINIA. One of the regi-
ments of Gen. Floyd's original Brigade has
been ordered to remain in Western Vir-
GINA aud to winter at Lewisburg, for the
protection of the road by Sewell and Mea-
dow bluff.
SALr.-A sensible citizen of Lancaster
county, while other people were fretting,
went to work ard made eight bushels of
salt with eight cords of wood out Of the
salt water at his door.
A PATRIARCHCAL PATRIoT.-There is at
present living in Loudon county, Va, Mrs.
Ros.et, nearly one hundred years of age,
who has no less than seventy-six of her de-
scendants, children, grandchildren and
great-grand-children serving their country
in the Confederate army.
THE WHEELING CONFERENCE.-The Con-
venton has disposed of the boundary ques-
ton. They include, Internationally, an adj
ditiOn to the SO counties included by the

The counties of Pocahontas, Greenbrier,

ADDRESS

From Tie General assembly Of the PresJyte-
rian Cturch Of The Confederate States, to
tie ch0rches throughout The eorth.
This important paper was drawn by Rev.
DR.. ThOrnwell, unanimously adopted by the
General Assembly, and, by vote of the
body, an opportunity was given to each
member to affx his signature to it. 1t is a
document of extraordinary interest, setting
forth the causes which have impelled US to
separate from the Northern General Assem-
bly,, our views on the subject of slavery,
and the policy we propose to pursue. 1t
will occupy about six columns of our paper,
aud will be published next week. As a
specimen of condensed argument, and skill
ful composition, it will take rank with the
best productions of the world. To crown
its excellence is the fact that, in times when
the hearts of most men are shaking with
wrath, there is here no trace Of malice, but
the whole is peryaded by the very Esprit
of Christ" On this account certain men
over the world (and "their name is legior, y
will gnash, and break their teeth over it.,
and do all manner of execution upon it, ex-
cept to answer 10.
We know the anxiety to see it is great,
and none, we trust, will complain of its
length.

Stiles has been with us, and God has great
ly blessed his laborS. admitted yester-
day to the church fifteen persons Others
have been awakened, and we trust the good
work will continue"
DOMESTIC MISSIONS. We have been
struck with the hopeful tone of the reports
from our domestic missionaries. Nearly
every one speaks of the interest, serious
ness, and inquiry manifest among their
people, and several mention conversions
and additions to the church by profession of
faith-plainly showing the blessed presence
and work of the Spirit among our churches.
Also, they say their congregations are as
large as before so many left for the army.
Such facts are cheering, and should quicken
every heart to prayer, and every hand to

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.

This venerable body WIS dissolved on
Monday night, the 10Th inst, and new
Assembly to be duly appointed was ordered
to meet in the 1st Presbyterian church, in
the city of Memphis, on the 1st Thursday
in May, 1862, at Il o'clock, A. NJ.
The whole proceedings of this, the first
meeting of our highest jadicatory, will be
laid before our readers as soon as practical
bic. We are indebted to the special Re
porter" provided by the Sou'hera PresJyte-
yiaa, for a valuable sketch of the debates
held on the various subjects considered.
Those present will detect some inaccuracies
and omissions, but it is upon the whole quite
as faithful report as can be ordinarily OBJ
tanned, and the church is certainly debtor
to the editor of the Southern Presbyterian
for his care and enterprise in this matter,
As to the wisdom Of the measures adopt
ed, every one VIII, of course, decide for
himself. As soon as our columns are dis
charged from the burden of these official
proceedings, it is our purpose to devote
some space to a review of certain points,
which will be the better of friendly dis
cussion throughout the church.
At present it may be enough to say, that
no candid observer could fail to discern in
the late General Assembly, a rare conyen-
ton of men distinguished for their high en-
dowments of eloquence, wisdom and worth.
The speeches we're mostly short and to the
purpose; we never saw so little surplussage
of windy talk. Upon starting back for
home, the feeling, We should think, must
have been very common one, if not uu
versal, of gratitude to God for the unex,
ampled unauimity with which his "gOod
Spirit" has inspired our whole Southern
church to unite in this movement. 1t is a
remarkable fact, especially considering the
troubled condition of public affairs, and the
season of the year, that very few of the ell
ders we're absent, and aot one Of the minis
tens. Even our venerable father, Rev Fran
els Mcfarland, D. D., (tbe oldest member

infrmities Of body, strengthened to endure

CONFEDERATE STATES.

TIE CONFEDERATE STATES AND THE
STATE OF MARYLAND. The following reso-
tior have been adopted by Congress:
First: ResoIccd by the Congress Of the
Confederate States Of Amerjca, that the suf-
ferngs of the good people of Maryland,
under the oppression of our enemy, excite
our profound sympathy and entitle them to
speedy and efficient exertions on our part
for their relief.
Second: That it is the desire of this
Government, by appropriate measures, to
facilitate the secession of Harylan with
the free consent of her people, to the Con-
federate States.
Third That no peace ought to be con-
Guided with the United States which does
not ensure to Maryland the opportunity OF
forming part of this Conf1deracy.
