Among the incidents of the battle of Boone
vile, the St. Louis Democrat gives the follow
ing:
"Speakng of prizes, the brilliant achieve
ment in that line was by our reverend friend
VIM. A. Pill, Chaplain Of the First Regiment.
He had charge of a party of four men, two
mounted and TWO On foot, with which to take
charge of the wounded. Ascending the brow
of a hill, he suddenly came upon company of
twenty-four Rebels. armed with revolvers, and
fully bent upon securing place of safety for
their carcases. Their intentions, however, were
considerably modified when the parson ordered
them to halt, which they did, surrendering their
arms. Surrounded by the squads of five men
they were then marched on board the Louisiana
prisoners of war. The parson also captured two
other secessionists during the day, and at one
time, needing wagon and horses for the
wounded, and finding friendly suggestions
wasted On stubborn old Rebel, placed a revol-
yer at his head, and the desired articles were
Forthcoming. In time of peace the preacher
had prepared for war.
Parson Pill, to-day, found on the battle field
a check for $4,000 on the American Exchange
Bank, which has been sent to the Secretary of
War.

A dispatch to the New Orleans Picaynne
from Richmond 2Oth, says the Convention
adopted an amendment to the Constitution Of
the Confederate States, allowing to Virginia the
right to secedc in certain contingencies.
There is q glimmor Of reason in the Rich
monl Convention. It's madness is not wholly
its team. 1t marries Virginia to the Confede
rate States, to..bo sure, but it at the same time
takes care to shpulate that it is only a mar
riago while the parties agree to consider it SO.
This is pleasant and Lowell y--almost free ely,
The action of the Convention proves also how
little confidence the Virginia secessonsts have in
their doctrine that under the y. S. Constitution
g State has the right to secede; in this respect
theSouhern Confederate Cons titution being the
same as ours. 1t is a confession that their sep-
aratlon from tho Union is revolutionary, and
takes away from them the only objection
that can logically be made to the efforts of the
Government to reduce them to obedience and
loyalty.
After all, however, it matters little what the
knot Of traitors at Richmond may do Or leave
undone for the future of Virginia. The Vir-
gina wost Of the Alleghanes is The Virginia
that is hereafter to- shape the policy Of the Old
Dominion. The sccptre of Empire has passed
from Richmond to Wheeling. The sick and dy-
ing man On the east of the mountains may utter
his curses and attempt to make disposition of
his shattered fortune, but his titles and tesla
mentary dispositions will all be fruitess. A
new lord is taking possession of the forfeited
estate, and the new laws will be proclaimed
from the mountains and not from the ashore.
The West and not the East free men and not
slave drivers, will make the future of Virginia.

altogether dispelIed.
Gen. Beauregard is busly engaged in defend

service of the Rebels, are without effect. The
Rebel forces arc falling back again, and Vienna
is now free from their presence. All continues
