Poor Virginia.

The rebels announce their intention of aban-
doning the State Of Virginia, unless that State
furnishes more men and money. This Is the
unkindest cut OF all. Virginia was drasooned
into secession, against her will, for the purpose
Of making u battle ground OF her territory.
She has So suffered from the marching and
eountcrlnarching aud fighting done within her
borders, that she will not recover from the dc
Wasting effects in FIVE hundred years. Her
homes have been made lesolate, her crops cut
oil, her wealth impoverished, her cities laid
waste, and her whole labitable country made;,
desert, and now having worn her out, the
Confederate authorities add insult to injury.
and leave her to her fate. Poor Virginia
cursed with drunken q Jvernor and a fleet
looted Wise" what will sic do when the
last remnant of rebel dignity and authority
has departed from her borders? She can hu,
submit to tie righteous rttr.but on of be n
governed by Gen. Fremont wh le Mason is boot
ed at III L2nion as noJetter than a negro"
Is there no Paul to comfort this Virginia?

We give to-day pretty full account of the
battle of Pittsburg Landing. As the details
continue to reach us through various sources ii
becomes clearly manifest that our army was
taken by surprise at the commencement of the,
battle (the result OF cuIplble negligence some
where), that the first days contest was decided
ly to our disadvantage, and that but for the aid
of the gun boats our army would probably
have been captured or destroyed beforc the re-
Inducements arrived. On the second day we
regaincd What we lost on the first captured a
considerable number of the enemy's guns, and
drOye him from the field The slaughter was
terrible on both sides-and the victory, though
not decisive, must be extremely disastrous in
its effect upon the rebels, who had concen ira
ted about 10000 troops, the flower of their
army, for decisive assault, and being com
manded by their ablest Generals, they made
the attack with full confidence that they would
triumph.

fourths Of mill on the taxable property of
the State for the relief of famelies ofvOlunteers
makes il the duty of the the Township Asses
sors to take IAN enumeration of those who
have volunteered in the several townships, and
return the list TO the Auditor 1t is impor-
tant that this duty should be faithfully and
thoroughly discharged by the Assessors. The
amount TO be raised will yield sixty to seventy
dollars per man to those in the service from
this State, and every man omitted in the
returns Of the Assessors causes a loss of that
sum to the county. Citizens of the several
townships should aid the Assessor as far as
possible in securing full lists.

Union meeting was held at Pulaski to-day.
WE'LL S. Brown endorsed his Columbia
speech, declaring for the Union. He pro-

Gov. Johnson has been invited to deliver

Preliminary arrangements for the celebra-

The following is from the Richmond En-
quirer of the 2lst:
We learn that Yankee troops, to the num-
Der of six thousand, have advanced from
Norfolk and Suffolk to point on the Sea
board Railroad, known as Franklin Depot,
fifty miles from Portsmouth and twenty
miles from Weldon. The aim of this force
is, beyond doubt, to advance to Weldon and
cut off railroad communication at that place
with Petersburg and Richmond. At We'll
don the roads from Wilmington. Raleigh
and Petersburg converge. This explains
the recent visit of Gen. Burnside to Old
Point and the White House on the Pamunk
ey, where he and Gen. Mcclellan compared
notes.

Buffers Medicine for Guerillas.


A New Orleans letter OF the 18th, says
the steamer Mississippi has arrived from
Baton Rouge.
The story of Coldade and Winnings bat
teres having been cut off is untrue
There has been no rebel force near Baton
Rouge except band of some two hundred
guerilas scattered between this city and
Clinton.
A few days ago Gen. Williams sent Col.
McMillen. of the 21st Indiana, with guard
to seize some property. AS they were on
the road they were fired upon by two guer-
illas and Col. McMillen slightly wounded
with buckshot. The guard fired upon the
rascals and killed one and captured the
other.
Gen. Williams wrote to Gen. Butler for
instructions as to the course to be pursued
towards guerillas. The General answered
as follows:
Headquarters, Department of the Gulf.
New Orleans, June 12th.-Y on ask me what
shall be done with guerrillas. They should
be captured, tried at the drumhead by
military commission and shot, every man,
their houses burned, their property destroy
ei and every means taken to show them
that they are enemies of the human race,
not soldiers, but murderers and land pirates.
There is only one way in which you can err
towards them, aud that is by a want of
prompt severity. By order of Maj. Gen.
Butler, r. Il. DAVIS.
