Isg@ The official reports of Sturgis and Tot

Hgg- The official reports of Sturgis and Tot ten of the Oak Hill battle have been published.- They seem to vie with each other in gasconade and misrepresentation It seems that every federal officer is under obligation and feels it his duty to lie as we'll as steal. The only report of the federals that approximates the truth is that of Seigle, and he says they ran like turkies, for which it is said he has been disgraced and mustered out of the service.

 PRODUCE LOAN IN AID OF THE CONFEDERATE STATEs.-We publish in another place, recent circular from the Secretary of the Treasury, in regard to the Produce Loan, authorized by act of Congress.
 The object of this loan is to give the plant ing and manufacturing interests, in the absence of cash assests, an opportunity of contributing to the necessities of the government, by a pledged future subscription of the proceeds ol their industry, in exchange for Confederate bonds.
 The response has been general and earnest to the call, and many millions are already pledg ed The sugar, cotton, tobacco, rice and grain producers vie with each other, and in the mat ter of cotton subscriptions, in several States, the amount reaches from one-third to one-hal1 the entire crop. In a single county, (Adams) in Mississippi the aggregate reaches over 22, 900 bales, which cannot, in value, fall far short of Sl,OO0,0O0. Before these subscriptions are closed, it is believed that the aggregate will swell to $50 or $lO0,000,O0O
 Local commissioners or agents have beer appointed, or are being appointed, in every county of the Confederacy, and MT. DEBow. of Louisiana, has been made, under the direc ton of the Secretary of the Treasury, General Superintendent.

and about sixty miles from Staunton. II 10 an
of-the-Way place, where, In case Of sudden
emergency, relief could not be readily obtained.
Colonel Marrow does not give US very favor
able account Of the intelligence of the inhabi-
tants thereabouts. They expressed the greatest
surprise at the number Of the troops, wanted to
know where 90 many men came from, and why
they had come there to make war on them,
who had never seen them or done them harm.
The females were very much alarmed, and were
With difficulty made to believe that NO harm
was intended them. They had been made to
believe thst the "Abolition Army" as it was
called, would ravish them, and then expose
them naked In the fence corners. In some In.
stances troops had TO be sent around through
the woods and fields, where the women with
the children had gone and were subsisting on
berries, and forced them to return TO their
homes. The villages and farm houses are be.
Ing again tenanted by their former occupants,
under the kind assurances of our officers and
troops. Colonel Marrow says that IL was under
stood that within q short time General Johnston
Or General Lee would march into Western Vir-
ginia with force of ten thousand men. The
Colonel thinks that will give lively employment
10 our boys, who are eager for fighting. The
Colonel speaks in the highest terms of the pluck
and daring Of the rebel troops at Rich Hill and
Cheat River. The position of the Third Regi-
ment in the Cheat Mountain Pass is such that
the sun never rises TO them until about eleven
0 o'clock, and sets at four. The weather Ia 90
cold that the Quartermaster has been applied 10
BY the Colonel for overcoats and blankets to
Keep the troops from perishiog. Owing to the
severe cold, two hundred and sixty of his regi-
ment are in the hospital.
