OsE OF THE EFFEcTs OF THE 1SvAsioy.-
Commenting upon the condoct OF the northern
troops while marching through that section of
Virginia, the Clarke County Consersater.re-
marks: ae
We learn that the march Of the Yankee
army through Berkeley and Jefferson has had
o sau'ary effect upon many Of the citizens of
those counties who were still clnging to the
Union. They have become dizgnsed at the
filthy, immoral aud therish characters thai
have been sent into their midst TO subjugate
the south, and are heartily sick of the ,dpa
that they have been guilty Of giving "aih and
comfort to Old Abe in his unrighteous war
upon the intelligent aud patriotic freemen of
the south.
