The news from Missouri though not fully conhrmstory
Of the report Of Prizes success ct Lexington, encourages
the belief There hrs certainly been some bloody hight
ing arr the nssouriaus have done their share Of IL and
statements, which present Pcein possession Of Licking
ton, come from the enemy.
In Southwestern Missouri, nothing Of importance has
occurred since the battle Of Oak Hills After that victory,
our Generals strangely fell b,ck; and !. 10 supposed
through discussions Of some sort among themsslve i.
But we sec sgus Of fresh advance. and We hop' with
more harmony and better success.
Gen. s. Johnston appears to be acting with oecom-
ing energy In Western K ntucky Gen. Buckuer, In the
CENTRE aud Gen. Zocoer in the East seem to DO wait
Jog on his movements.
From our own State, We have nothing but rumors,
which are not worth reporting, beyond the statement
which may be true, that Cen. Lee, with small portion
Of his forces, has joined Gen. Floyd at Meadow Buf,
some 10 or 20 miles beyond Lew,burg. Il Is thought
that R,secrans and Cox have ultedtheir forces and
are advancing to attack army, and that battle Is
imminent.
If the Yankee fleet, which sailed South, happened to
be about Ocracoke last night and the wind blew there
AZ il did here We may hear pleasant tales Of the eIpe-
dtop When the bsrbarians reached the coast OF
Greco, the Athenans sacrificed to the winds, and their
offerings were not in vaia The barbarian armada was
shiyered on the rocks. We hope like oblatiors have
been offered here, and will be attended By like resus

M.,erlu,, for Auother Panic.

The Baltimore American Of The 19.h, says that from
the previous Sunday to that day, 1880 troops had
passed through that city to Washington.
Toe Washington Star Of the 18th says that during the
week end Saturday 2st IS 900 troops would join the
ferent columns Of the Union armies In the field
Putting this and that and the other together, In.
fer that the Lincoln dynasty gathering cousdera
be crowd in and around Washington Tnree week ago,
the number was said to exceed 100 oOO and that
By Yankee authority. If tina. was true then, We nay
SUPPOSE il does not fall short Of 900. The mere
tbs better for with 1000 involved in anothar Bull
Ran sffar another rally will be an impossibility Aud
the greater the number Of undlscpned troops the er
subjects they are for panic and the moro ncurabe the
panic.
Wien the Grand Army set out for Richmond, all the
Northern papers sad that 1t consisted Of s00o besides
Is 900 Ct Alexandra. We have not doub., but that
this was the fict. But after the races when the vast
Numbers OF the cowardy wreiohes only served to quick
ca one anothers speed, all the same pipers asserted
th,sthe whole force did not exceed $1,000 We shall
have the same tale over again, when We get them on
another trot Nov they mulitudnous az the sands
on the sea shore; then they WIN dwndls to few skee

FROM THE LADIES OF ALBEMARLE.

I. has b,cu suggested that the ladies Of Abemarle
should form themselves into General Society to furnh
Socks for all the troops going from this county will
REQUIRE thrse thousand four hundred pair 10 give esch OF
our soldiers two pair The large number OF Socks re-
CURED makes 1t necessary that the ladies' should make
some united effort to procure them The following plan
one offered for their acceptance That each neighbour
hood should form itself into Society for knitting Socks
and appoint President who will receive and forward
them TO General ceiser in Charlottesville that being
the most central p,nt and that the Captain Of each Of
our Companies should send the appointed Receiver the
number Of soldiers in his company and tie number Of
Socks they require will be sent them.
As imp, sble for the ladies in the county to n'et
and appoint cever, Mrs Dr. Charles Carter assisted
by two other ladies' has been thought the best person to
receive the Socks and distribute them.
Any ladies', individually collectively who will re-
.pond to this call will please send their Socks to Mrs. d.
Charles Carter, Charlottesville, Albemarlc.
The above is plan already adopted by slargs number
Of the ladies' Of Absmare furnishing the troops With
Socks As We have no county paper, will you give 1t
place in yours and request the other Richmond papers
to CODY?

WAR UPON Mr.. srKrHxss-The Richmond Examiner

WAR UPON Mr.. SrkPHEss-The Richmond Examiner
has OF ened most extraordinary and vndicive up
on Mr. Stephens, aided BY rowing adventurer named
BAYLOR now temporarily domiciated at Atlanta and
sailed as editor OF Governor Browns special orgsD the
I1eigsncer This writes letters from Georgia to the
journal t an led to- prefer ding 10 represent Georgia
sentiment and king TO impress the public with the idea
that considerable party exss at the South who desire
Mr. Stephens retirement ard that his place be filed by
yirgiDan, or some other man not resident OF the
cotton States. There not word OF truth in the state
mant
The Examiner ossails Mr.. Stephens politically and
personally uing Language for which the editor should be
held to rigid personsl account by somebody. If
spnnsble, fesl pretty sure that he will be.
We publish elsewhere, from the Richmond Enquirer,
an article in vindcaon Of Mr.. Stephens. Il contains
the whole case aud will give the reader pretty correct
ga OF the means resoted to to drag down from bis
lofty position the distinguished Georgian They will all
G except to recoil upon their interested authors But
have no discussion for tho subject. The Enquirer
has met the sctualy, and with far patience
ard decorum Of language than could summon to its
treatment.
We can ony comprehend this attack on one principle
Virginia has been accustomed 10 hold more Offices In the
than all the ober Southern States comhined
and there people there yet who are hmy con-
yinced that sh, is entitled monopoly in this respect,
and are against everybody who stands in the way Of the
n ls and ridiculous pretension. Somebody wants Mr..
g., phsnss pace and hence this upon him. Il vii,
OILY draw more closely TO him the ALREADY ardent anec
tions OF his countrymen-[ SInannah Republican.
We should have permitted the above to pass unno.
ticcd but for the uncslsd for fling at Old Virginia The
oil Commonwealth has her fau s. no doubt, ard may
have more spells seeking than Is advantageous or
reputable to herself; but far any espeabl, num-
br Of her cz concerned she has had no part IN
the intrigue for The displacement Of Mr. Stephens. With
tho gle exception Of the Examiner We have not seen
or heard of newspaper within her limits avoriug the
proposition The same remark is true in regard to her
public men, go far ss our information extends. There
may be some men here, as elsewhere who want all the
ocps; but if there be, and they want Mr.. Stephens
plce, they have not whispered their wishes In our
hearing, -,
But the Republican,, though 1t closes with fling al
Virginia, begins by telrg that the intrigue against
Kr. Stephens had its origin in Georgia. OF that We
know nothing; but infer from tie tone of the Georgia
press that the scheme Is not likely to meet with
success there than in Virginia.
