Col. SINGELTAR7.-A brief telegram in our
last announced that Col. Singeltary, of the
4th n. G. Troops, had been killed by the
yankees on the Thursday following. His re-
mains reached this place on Sunday the 9th,
and were buried with military honors. He
was a brave and able officer, and his country
suffers no ordinary loss by h fall ofsnch q
man in this her hour ofneed.
Of the skirmish in which Col. Singeltary
fell, we have been enabled to gather the fol-
lowing particulars. The fight took place at
Latham's Mill, on Tranter's Creek, nine miles
from the town of Washington. Our men
were stationed behind a temporary breast
work, and Col. Singeltary, without either
pistol or sword, was sitting on a log with his
head exposed over the breastwork. While
in this position he saw a Yankee soldier
skulking in the bushes and acting as if he
wished to get a shot at him, whereupoR the
Colonel ordered one of his men to shoot tho
Yankee, and had no sooner done 80 than he
received a ball in the head and breathed but
for an hour afterwards. Besides Col. Singel-
tary, we lost two men -Privates Edwards and
Heathcoek, and had three men-we did not
learn their names-wounded The Yankee
loss was about 20 killed, and 30 more or less
severely wounded. Our men made good
their retreat, after Artillery was brought to
bear on them, in an orderly manner.

EVACUATION OF NoRFoLK.-We have learn
ed from what we consider reli }ble authority,
that since the late battles before Richmond,
the Yonkee forces have been evacuatlng Nor
folk and Portsmouth, and destroying the pub
lie property and works at these places, with
a view of reinforcing McClellan's army on the
Chickahominy. The dry dock at the navy
yard had been completely destroyed, and the
government workshops raised to the ground.
The fortIfitations on Craney island, Sewel's
Point and Pigs Point were all clown up and
levelled with the earth. We learn further
that the track of the Norfolk and Petersburg
railroad vas torn up sixteen miles south of
| Suffolk, and thei en- carried off. The troops
Of Norfolk and Portsmouth, laid to nam
Der between eight and ten thousand, are sup.
posed to have embarked ere this on trans =
I ports for their destination.
Our informant states that the occupation of
Richmond by Mcclellan was read out four
times on dress parade to the troops, who be-
gan to enquire how many Richmonds there
are in the Confederacy, Richard the Third in
the battle scene OF BosWorth fed exclaiuns,

A JUST FArE.-Andrews, the train ~stealer
and bridge burner, whose bold exploits on
the Georgia State Road were duly chronicled
at tie time, was. executed at Atlanta on Fri
day last. He confessed that Gen. Mitchell
had offered him $4,000 for the faithful exc
cution of the villainous work contem-
plated. If General Kirby Smith will bag
Mitchell, and subject him to a similar fate
with his dupe, the lends of justice will have
been satisfied.

JAcksoN's AcHIEvaENTs.-There is no truth in the
report that the enemy had re-captured zine hundred
prisoners at Front Royal all having been brought off
except a few wounded. A company ofthe 12th Ga. fell
into the enemy's hands through some blunder of an
officer. About 1900 prisoners were the fruits of the
expedition down the Valley. The medical stores were
invaluable, embracing almost everything useful in the
medical department including a large quantity Of OPT
um. The captured property is said to be worth sever
al millions to the Conlederacy and the loss to the enc
my incalculable.
Jackson did not cross into Maryland though some
of his cavalry probably did. They burnt one or two
bridges on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and tore
up the track for some distance. The Enquirer adds,
In the period of % days jackson marched from STAT
ton to Mcdowell, where in conjunction with Johnston
he whipped Millroy thence to Franklin, so miles dis
tant thence to HarrisonDurg. % miles, over Shenan-
doah mountain, "a real Jordan road az a soldier
described it thence 20 Front Royal via Luray, So
miles thence to Winchester 20 miles thence beyond
Charleston, 26 miles. In his expedition he fought
four battles and a number of skirmishes, killed and
wounded a considerable number OF the enemy, took
5000 prisoners secured millions of ollars of stores, de-
struyed many millions Of dollars worth for the enemy
and chased Banks out of the VALLEY of Virginia, and
across the Potomac. All this he cid in % days anC
with a loss Of but little upwards of 100 in killed ,ant
wounded.

A BLockAnER AGRoUND.-The Wilmington
journal, of Tuesday, says that a blockading
steamer-the Penobscott-got around last
Sunday, while chasing a schooner into Sha-
lotte. The enemy set fire to the schooner
next day,but her cargo of salt had been chief.

s@ The telegraph some days ago re-
ported that Andy johnson, the Tory Govern.
or of Tennessee, had been killed by Geo.
Brown, son of Gov. Brown who johnson had
committed to prison. IF also reported that
the infamous %scoundrel, Gen. Butler, had been
killed at New Orleans. We have seen no
confirmation of the reports, and fear they are
too good to be true. 1t is only a question of
time, however. If they have not been killed,
they will be, just as sure as there is a patri.
OTIS knife or ball in those States and the
traitor Gov. Ned Stsnly of North Carolina
will follow suite.
A late New York Herald tells that Andy
Johnson was issuing proclamations as usual,
which seemed to contradict the glad tidings
of his death but the following, from the
Atlanta Confederacy of tie 10th, brings that
renewal of hope which gives consolation:
FROM NAsHvILLE.-We learn that a gentle
man arrived here yesterday from Nashville,
who reports that Andy johnson was actually
killed on Thursday last, by Ex-Governor Neil
5. Brown. Brown was arrested by Andy's
order sometime ago, to be sent to a Lincoln
Bastile up North, but was paroled for a few
days to attend to some business. The gen.
tleman says Brown was arraigned before An
dy Thursday, whsh, for some provoca-
ton, Brown drew q revolver and shot him
several times, ending the life of the scoun-
drel on the spot: and that Brown was hung
in half an hour thereafter-al of which, W.
hear, the gentleman says he witnessed.

Still They Gulp It.

One would think that the enormous price
now demanded for the very meanest, most
sinking baldfaee white whiskey, would have
the effect of causing men to desist from it's
use. Only to think !-One Dollar and Fifty
cents for a quart Of the vilest-s plit-skull
whiskey that was ever compounded! Is it
possible that men will pay such q price for
such stuff-the stencil from which rivals the
pole cats ordoi! Well, yes; strange and dis.
gushing as it seems, it is even so and men
some calling themselves decent men-gulp
it down as though it was the choice nectar
that the tabled heather gods are said to
have quaffed.
We have often heard men say that they
did not drink liquor from any love they had
for its taste, but simply for the exhiIarating
effect it produced. Surely this must be the
re son why men drink this stuff 1t cannot
be for the taste or the smell. But it is toe
mean to produce any erhairating effect-but
on the contrary, stupidity, nausea, selfabase
ment, and every f cling that is low. vii,
and disgusting. We are therefore forced tt
the conclusion, that men who drink tn,
whiskey OF this day. do so for the pure Low,
of getting drunk-regardless of the meal
stuff they have to employ to reach this de
based state Of reticence.' Is there any hop
for such men ?
