State Troops left this place for the rend of their

Prior to their leaving, very handsome flag pre-
santed to tie Company through Joshua g. Wright

the flag behalf of the Company, pledging the life Of
every man for its defence and the defence of the in
which they engaged.
The flag is Of blue silk, bearing the following inscrip
ton in gold letters:
Company A Second Regiment n. g. State
Troops"
1t is trimmed with gold and is in every way hand
some and suitable standard.
The company numbers about one hundred, including
officers; is composed of sturdy, and stalwart men, MOI
afraid Of work of anything else and under the eaC
Of Captain Hall may be relied upon to make up gooC
record.
AS the company marched of, there was many teal

The only news we can get is the stoppage of all
nearly all news from the probable seats of war in
Virginia. This looks like work, especially it is stated

count of the pressure of other matters.
The interest attaching to these letters is partly his
torca the distance between this country and Europe
not less in moral than in physical space together with
the different standpoints from which events viewed
give to the opinions of Engishmen some resemblance to
the verdict of postery or at least of time somewhat

We learn that last Friday evening the body of
James Steele, fisherman we believe was found in or
near the North East Branch of the Cape Fear River,
about half mile above the site of Hilton Bridge and
on the far side OF the River from Town His head
hbited such evidence of injuries apparently inflicted by
an axe as to leave no doubt of his having come to his
death by violence.
On Saturday, Coroner Jones, with jury of inquest,
was engaged in the investigation of the case. Some
three men of rather doubtful character who were the
last persons seen with the deceased aud who to
have gone with him or joined him in bis fishing were
arrested suspicion.
A free negro named Glenn Manner, or Manor, who
started at the time with Steele, but in a separate
boat also missed at the tme and his body has
been found but short distance from where Steees was
found. An axe evidently that with which this double
murder was committed was found in the marsh not far
from the place where the bodies had been discovered
1t seems that both Steele and Glenn Manor had some
little money with them when they went out Tie three
still under arrest. The Coroners Jury to
the conclusion that the deceased, Steele came 10 his
death from the effects of wounds inflicted on his head
but they could not identify the party incting them
The verdict in Clems case will probably be the same
The men are still under arrest.

NoRTHwEsTERN VIRGINIA bordering On the Penn
sylvania and Ohio line, and ntersected by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad and the North Western Rail-
road which is in fact a branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Road, from portion of the State, small por-
ton certainly which has few anites with the common
wealth. and of that pride with which the natives
of all the other sections always refer to their Old moth
err the mother of States and of statesmen The truth
is it is questionable whether the majority Of the people
in the Panhandle or in the portion of Virginia lying in
the space north of line drawn from the southwestern
corner of Maryland to the Ohio river are really Vir-
gnians, either in feeling or nativity. The line we
here indicate would strike the Ohio river about Park
ersburg.
1t is upon this portion of Virginia that the Ohio
troops, under McteIand intended to operate and
for time they will be successful But the vast pro.
portion of the people of southwestern Vir
gina are true as steel, and they warlike and
determined and with the men of the Valley and the as
sstance of the Kentuckilns and Tennesseeans, they
win make any portion of Virginia soil too hot to hold
either traitors or their abettors.

CLOSING SToREs.--We have been requested to call
attention to the fact that, during these dull times, the
stores in Charleston and other cities and towns clos

the employees whether clerks others, who may be-
long to volunteer companies, or may wish to connect
themselves with such organizations an opportunity Of
drilling in daylight and in the open air. if desired We
presume that this arrangement might be made here
without ser ousy interfering with any business
ments or general convenience while it is highly desra
