Yesterday and to-day have been days of m
usual excitement in our usually quiet village--
1t is true our entire community has been mucn
excited by the warlike news we had received 1or
some days and We began to realize It's ruin
Our streets have for two days been throngeu
with the troops and various companies OF MIL
tary from Rockbridge and your county. flrst
came Capt. S. M. Crawford's company OF light
infantry, Al in number, under c0mmauu VI MS

regret to say, quite ill. Then came Japan aN
VIM. Patrick's company of Cavalry OF the o1no
Regiment, IS in number, and beyond question
the finest looking troop perhaps In the otate'I
The horses were splendid, indeed, and hano-
some set Of young men, finely caparlSoned.-
Then came Capt. Doyle's company OF hlnes u
the 160th Regiment, Al (; Capt. Newton,s lnla nan
try, from Greenvile so in number; Capt. w IL
liamS, of MiddlebrOOk, commanding me Gull
pany of light infantry, SO in number, the TWO
last of your 93rd Regiment Besides tnese was
Capt. NJ. Whites troop of cavalry from Lexlng-
ton, 81 in number, fine body fmen, all passed
through Yesterday. To-day the excitement was
even greater. Our fine troop of cavalry, under
Can't Jordan, paraded, and Capt. WlSe'S and
Capt. Shoemaker's companies OF militia. Just
as they paraded, Capt, McNutt's troop OF Cav
airy from Brownsburg, and Capt. Sam. Letcher's
company of Rifles from Lexington came up
The former remained some time, and on
leaving were addressed in an eloquent and soul
stirring speech by Col. J. M. McCue, of your
county, which caused almost every one to wipe
the manly tear from his cheek, as they wheeled
into column with their faces turned towards
Harper's Ferry, with the hearty ssGod speed
you'' of all our people. Col. McCue afterwards
addressed Capt. Wise's and Capt. Shoemaker.s
companies, in the field, when an effort was MADE
to form volunteer company of Rifles out OF the
two companies. Mr.. Editor, could the people
of the North witness the enthusiasm of our peo-
pie they would despair of conquering US.

Col. Robert E. Lee.

- 1t is probable that the Secession of Virgins
will cause an immediate resignation of many Of
fcers of the Army and Navy from this State
We do not know, and have no right TO speak fol
or anticipate, the course of Col. Robert E. Lee
Whatever he may do, will be conscientious and
honorable. But if he should resign his present
position in. the Army of the q. S., we call the
immediate attention of our State to him, as an
able, brave, experienced oficer:-no man his
superior in all that constitutes the soldier, and
the gentlenan-no man more worthy to head
our forces and lead our army. There is no one
who would command more of the confidence OF
the people of Virginia, than this distinguished
officer; and no one under whom the volunteers
and militia would more gladly rally. His repu-
tation, his acknowledged ability, his chivalric
character, his probity, honor and-mav we add
to his eternal praise-his christian life and COL
duct-make bis very name slower of strength
1t is a name surrounded by revolutionary and
patriotic associations and "reminiscences -Aler.

IMPROVED a
INSTRUMENT FOR SURVEYING.

NHE subscriber desires to call the attention of the
public to an : IMPRQp CI19 iNS S HoK
vented and patented by Col. JAMES M. LILLEY, OF
Stanton, Va. e8
This instrument consists of semicircular plate,
with needle box attached to the diameter, and the
circular edge graduated in degrees and half degrees
and movable limb aidade attached to the centre
of the plate, with verners at both ends; thus the
bearing of line be read for any number OF de-
greeS minutes
The plate is so divided form, with the scale of
the aldade traverse table of lines instead of num-
bers, which gives at the latitude and departure
of any course and dis lance run.
The table also the purpose tor aScertanlng
heights and distances the required distance is read
from the plate without the trouble OF referring to the
logarithmic tables.
1t gives the horizontal measurement of the lines of
survey; and when there is local attraction. the
lines ban be traced without using the needle there
being two pair of sights, enabling the surveyor to
form at once the angle required by the bearings OF
the courses.
The variation of an old line is easily calculated
it, and for such work leveling for mill races or
draining land it answers every purpose OF the level
There attachment for solving oblique triangles
which gives the base and perpendicular of the TRAN
gle from which the be obtained very readl-
w. and it also gives the bearing and distance of the
closing line in a division of land
The instrument can be used with either the sights
or telescope. Address, R. d. LILLEY,

ordinary survey the properties of the Theodolite

departure of course, will save much labor in the
computation of the area of a survey.
