Gov. Browns Annual Message was
read in the Legislature on Thursday

interest.

against the Conscript Law and submits
The subject to the Legislature for action.

"Gen. Hill had a fight with the en-
emy on Monday last in Clark county,
Va. Tie General says the enemy
were soupdly thrashed and driven
back five miles. The fight. was obsti-
nate and our loss considerable"
"From the activity Of both armies,
and the frequent diminishing taking
place it is not improbable fight may
take place at any moment. The pres
ent object of the enemy seems to be
to cut off Gen. Lees communication
with Richmond.
The Yankees have advanced in force
upon Highland county, distance Of
40 miles from Sraunton, Va. This is
a part Of the plan by which the abo-
litionists expect to crush out the re-
Tellion in Virginia.
The enemy at Corinth are largely
reinforced, and are fortifying, intrench-
ing, and making every preparation to
hold that place"
The Richmond Daily Enquirer says
that Significant movements are pro-
crossing along the entire lines of Gen.
Lees army. Stirring, perhaps start
ling. events seem to be rapidly ap-
preaching, promising, in reality, a
sharp and decisive winter campaign.
1t is reported that Gen. jackson was
yesterday upon the verge of battle in
the Shenandoah Valley, with greatly
superior forces of the enemy.
In a few days considerable change
will probably take placein the present
Inactive state OF affairs"
