As has already been stated the govern
ment has rented the Sprigg house, and is
rapidly converting it into a military hospi-
tai. Yesterday the rooms and halls were
being thoroughly cleaned. the walls white
washed, &c. The house is found to be ad-
mirably suited for the purpose, being
abundantly large, to meet all the demands
that will be made upon it. The Govern .
ment has purchased all the single beds and
bedding used in the hotel, and is having q
lnrge number of hunks ti,ted.up. We un-
derstand that boat load of sick soldiers

Harper's Ferry, applied the other day to
Gen. Reynolds, for the privilege of passing
through the United States lines to visit her

Dear Times :-Since / wrote you last
week things have materially changed in
this region. ON last Monday two prison :
ers were brought into camp, one belonged
to wise's Legion and tue other to Floyd's
forces. They both report Floyd moving
on toward Charleston, where he swears he
will winter; and man belonging to Jen-
#kin's cavalry, who is now prisoner, says
that it is the intention of the rebels to
march into Charleston on the 9th of this
month; and If, from appearances we may
Judge, they will do so. While we have
been idle here, they have worked their way
into the valley, md have quiet possession
OF Cotton Hill, east of our camp, and have
built a fine road 70 the summit, and have
drawn their artillery up, and built masked
batteries overlooking the camps in the
valley.
On last Friday, the 1st inst, We were
startled by The report OF heavy guns Mt
Gauley Bridge, or rather ferry. In few
minutes Capt Simmonds and two pieces of
artillery were on the road, at a break-neck
pace, for the scene of action. was for
tunate enough to be whereI could see, and
still be ont of the way of flying pieces of
shells. tsa+ Z rr
The rebels had, sometime during the
night, planted masked battery at the
mouth of New River, on portion of Cot
ton Hill, and in sight, were it not for the
thick undergrowth of trees on the side of
the hill. As a train of wagons were
crossing the river they opened FIRE on the
ferryboat, and. landing after the teams had
crossed, sunk the boat Our two CUTS
were brought to bear on the battery, aud
in q short time succeeded Ia sileuciDgit-
At the time the firing was heaviest,
battery opened on the camps up New Riv-
er, AZ the Thompkins farm, Gen Rosecrdns
headquarters, and at what's called. by the
men in camp, Fortress Dryden, after Lieut..
Dryden, of Company F, the builder. Il is

leading down the river at this point. The

A CARD.


To the Union Men of Braxton County.
Gentlemen, of Braxton county, be as
sured, it is with feelings of inexpressible
gratitude, that return to you my thanks
for the houor you have conferred on one
so unworthy, the honor of representing
you in the Wheeling Convention to frame
u Constitution for the new State of Ka-
nawha.
By your voluntary suffrage you have
laid me under many obligations, and i'm
posed on me high and imperative duties,
which it shall ever he my pleasure TO the
utmost of my feeble abilities to discharge
with fidelity and promptness. 1t shall be
my pleasure to receive from you such in-
structions and expressions of your will and
purposes, prior to my leaving Tor Wheel
ing, as will enable me TO obey your behests.
I0cknowledge myself us well as the couu-
ty under many obligations to the Home
Guards, for the very efficient service rem
lered by them in the preservation of or.
der aud in the protection of the rights of
our loyal citizens in the late election.
The influence, the Antagonism of. certain
(wOuld bel inhuentinls by whom our couu.
ty has been too long hoodwinked were
kept in check, and fair expression of the
public will had ut the ballot box, which we
may regard as the sure harbinger of the
utter and speedy annihilation of the diff
culties under which we have labored aud
n full restoration of the supremacy of the
laws.
With my best wishes and efforts for the
prosperity of Braxlon county, and each of
her loyal citizens, subscribe myself,
Your most obedient, and
Humble Servant,
G. F. TAYLOR.

BLOCKADE OF NEW YORK.

The Albany alias aud Argus, of recent date, gives
us come idea of the effect Of Lncons blockade on the
North We have always said that this blockade would
be more seriously felt ut the North than by US, and the
editor of the argus seems to think the same way Hear
him:
"New York is more bockaded port this day than any
South Of it, It suffers like besieged city We do not
see the visible batterng down OF walls or the explosion
of Shells the destruction of multudes Ana yer the
work of ruin goes on, though silently, almost as emca
cously Real falls rent falls houses are vacated
mercantile credit is ruined firms are Frustrated The
city is beleagud from without by It's tar ana assaeu
within by the war;.
Commenting on the above, the New York Day Book
rays:
Il lust corroborates what have heretofore shown
that every hour Of the blockade the South VIII De getting
richer and we poorer We have over ssventyhrse mt-
hons of capital employed in shipping, while the South
has lint seventeen millions OF freights, which employs
this shipping the South furnishes s24 5OOOOO while the
North and West together furnish So bOOOOo Thus the
South furnishes sI-sevenths OF all the freight oil Tue
country while it less than onesi1th OF the ton
mage The North owns 50 per cent OF he tonnage ana
supplies less than per cent oil tue reGhls ct
anv man. who has not lost his brains look at these g-
ures and he will very quickly zee that 1t is ourselves We
are inuriug than The South. And what Is 70 De-
come of this commercial emporium OF the North IL we
drive off permanently or deprive our ships oil IN Sc
give the amount of money employed in ship building for
that year S4 799 in the North, while the South
employed but sl,924, 81. The North has 10000
hands engaged in shipbuilding while the SCUM mas
but | SCI To supply these sbip-bulders with mate
rails twenty thousand persons are engaged in get
ting out lumber which is estimated at S3l,S97.OOO in
value per annum. Then all these sums we are to add
many millions of capital and hundreds OF hahdB kept
busy in the traffic of provisions clothing, &c. to keep
up all this immense interest. Now, the policy OF the
Administration which strikes down commerce. strikes
down also all this vast of employment and wealth
to the northern masses And if the war and the block
ade 90 on to the bitter end this destruction of northern
interests is final and eternal There is no other spot on
earth that supply the sources OF wealth we have
had in the South. Every day of the blockade not only
destroys our capital and robs people OF employment
but it compes the South do without and forces her
to do for herself what have grown rich in doing for
her. Whatever else the blockade may do ii should last
but one year. it will be to produce commercial as
solution ofthe Union which merely political union can
aver reconstruct.
