WAR RUMoRs.

From the Richmond Examiner Jan III
Up to a late hour last night the War Depart.
ment was still without any advices whatever Of
Gen. Marshall's reported engagement Of the enc

inclination to believe the report for the reason
that an engagement with the enemy lust in this
vicinity had been anticipated. An express had
been established sometime since from Gen Mar
shall's lines TO Abingdon, and If a battle bad
been fought, news mig ht have been expected
through this communication at an early day
The report of naval demonstration against

LYNNvuLE. Oct. Gil

LYYNvILLE, Oct. 9th, 1861.
KIND FRIEND:-Your letter was source
Of much surprise to me, although the night
l bid you good bye, correspondence was
agreed upon; still l thought the request was
made more through compliment to me, than
anything else. am glad TO know, howev-
er, l am not forgotten by my friend; and
hope the correspondence already begun
will not be discontinued through any neg
lect on my part, as regards punctuality.
see you have buckled on your Armor in
defence of our Beloved South, and shared
the common lot of soldiers. Although so
much has been said about the feeling
prompting our Brothers and friends to leave
their homes and attachments TO spill even
their life's blood in defense Of their country,
still, is this not uppermost in the minds and
hearts of our countrymen? AS the North
ern tyrant sends out his poor misguided
men to fight the brave and heroic sons of
this faithful land, my blood boils with rage,
to think that such man should attempt TO
make us submit. Mol there is no such
feeling as submission amongst us. and
should all of our brave sons be extermina'
ted, their example will inspire the remaining
ones-without regard to sex-to fight then
in o field of blood before we submit. And
/ believe their spirits will accompany us OF
our mission.
Oh how l regret that my fate is to sit
quietly down, and let them come on US with
out striking a blow. But, as such is the
case, must content myself with trying to
furnish comforts for those who are gone

The ola story.


MammO, Mamma, young Eddie Jones,
WhO called for me last night,
And by the fallen oak sat down,
Beneath the moons soft light,
Whispered so many pretty things
About his country home,
And took my hand in his and asked
II would be his own.
He called me beautiful aud said
My hand was snowy white
My lips were coral, and my eyes
Were like the dimond's light
And then he sighed and looked SO sad.
And seemed in great distress,
That when he asked me TO be his,
l had TO tell him yes.
Fie ! 6e ! my daughter; Eddie Jones
A nice young man may be,
But he can't keep hotel, nor yet
A husband be to thee
He's nothing but a country clown,
And does not own red
Before I'd see you mary him,
I'd rather both were dead.
But, dear mamma, young Eddie Jones
Is wealthy, am sure
For old Spondulicks died, and left
Five thousands pounds or more
And all this money Is bis own,
Besides his country home
Mamma, mamma, I'd rather be
His bride than live alone.
know he loves the very grou nd
On which my shadow falls,
And with delight to furnish me
With bonneis, hoops and shawls
And more than oil bis gold can buy,
More than my petted vine
That climbs upon the porch--I love
To know his heart is mine
Five thousand pounds and all his own
Whew daughter, what pile !
Not that care a zig for wealth,
Therefore you needn't smile
But Eddie Jones has won your heart,
And loves you, too, l guess
So, when he asks your hand again,
Just say, l acquiesce.
