Ing TIE year shat has past, stirring and nonentops
events have occurred on Tho N orth american cons
tinent, which have inaugurated a new era in the
history Of the world. Is, i
Twelve months ago to-day the whole South was
convnlsed with the throes of an incipient revolu-
ton, and preparing for resistanceto Government
which no longer promised protection, but threat
eaeds oppression and disgrace. The determination
to throw OF the yoke was not the impulse of sud
den passion, but the calm conclusion Of those who
had been yainly enaeavoring for years to believe
that further union with the North was consistent
with their safety and honor. There were many
who had long been impatient for the hour to come;
but It was only when sectional President, elected
/ by8sectioEal votes, announced an irfepressiole

| TIE disgrace Of the Southern people andsthe de-
sruction of their property that the movement for
Independence was sustained by the almost unani.

! for awhile mere gradually brought. to think with
/ the majority by the developments Of the times
and when, after tie inaug alton of the Northern
President and the course which he had determined
4 to take became plain, there was left scarcely 9
lvestige Of . Union party in three-fourths Of the
States Of the South. The declaration Of wal
against us suddenly reversed the current eyen5in
the Border States; and now there is scarcely one
of them that would not, in fair election, declare
for d separation from the Union and an admission
into the Southern Confederacy. .s s, s. ID.

tence that the movement in the South was only a

and not sustained by the great majority of the

We have no new movements to report in
the army of General Lee, no new; Of int, est
being brought down by the cars Yesterday
evening.
we learn that the Yankees cut some fam
tastic tricks in Middleburg and Aldic, during
last week On Wednesday, last two of our
wagons were loaded with bacon at Middle
burg, and just as they wcro about to Start for
our army, seventeen Yankee cavalrymcu rode
into the place and took quiet possession Of tho
wagons aud their contents, and drove them
down the road. 1t is thought that i%nforlna-
ton concerning the bacon was given the enc
my by some traitor to our cause.
On the following day a party Of about
seventeen Of the enemy entered Aide, which
Is about fourteen miles from Midilrburg.
Lnudoun county, where they were met by a
detachment Of Captain Ball Cavalry, acvcn-
teen in number, commanded by Lieut.. Gao.
Mems. when a skirmish took placc, in which
the gallant Lieutenant was shot through the
head and instantly killed. One of his men
was also killed. The Yankees lost n
Lieutenant and one private. Upon seeing
their Lieutenant fall, they fled precipltatvly.-
4 fifth man vas found dead in the woods,
but no one knew anything of him. lie wore
q ring with the name Russell" engraven on

On Tuesday a larger party Of the hirelings
advanced upon Aldic carly in the morning,
and remained there until about noon, when
they started off, about $50 going towards
Middleburg, and halting within Lalf Il mile
OF the place, while the balance moved up the
Snickersvillc road, and crossed over to Mid
dleburg and rcjoined their companions. After
tarrying a short while they returned to their
camp. Doubtless these thieving parties were
in search Of forage and provisions; and it
would be we'll for our generals 10 look after
them.
