ITEM.


We place in our columns to-day an
item of historical interest 10 the people of
this section of the State. We place il
here for future reference,as well as for pres
ont attention. When the proper time
and occasion rolls around, we propose TO
reproduce il, and those who have been
actors in this outrage must stand or fall
before that retrospection.
A set of resolutions, originating in the
Michigan Legislature, recently convened,
(whose adjournment, by the way, we are
happy 20 chronicle,) bearing the stamp
and seal of its fanatical paternity-the
cowardly wording of which is illustrative
Of the Tallyrandic theory that swords
are made 70 cover up ideas "a set of
resolutions that were presented and urged,
and finally adopted, under the wild lash
ings of those insane abolitionists who have
brought disgrace and contumcly upon
our State-said resolutions did receive
the sanction and vote Of every member of
that body from this portion of the State.
When substitute was offered (embody-
ing the very words of resolution unani-
mously adopted by Congress, when driv-
en- into momentary realization of the
awful responsibility resting upon them,)
the aohole representative force Of this sec
ton of the State voted that substitute
down. We place their names here as
our duty requires. Let them foster in
their infamy: GREEN and WHITLEY, in
tho Senate; HARE, DAVIS, GILBERT,
FALLAss, TAYLOR and Howell, are of
the number who voted down the follow
ing patriotic words:
"That the existing civil war should not
be waged on the part Of the government
in any spirit of oppression, nor for any
purpose Of conquest or subjugation, nor
for the purpose of overthrowing or inter
fering with the rights or established insti-
tutions Of the States; but to defend and
maintain the supremacy of the constitu-
ton, and to preserve the Union with all
the dignity, equality and rights of the sew
oralStates unimpaired, and that, rs soon
as these objects arc accomplished, the war
ought to cease.
"Resolved, That in tho adoption OF the
foregoing resolution by Congress with un-
precedented unanimity Of its late extra
session, rule of action was prescribed to
the Federal government from which il
should not depart.
"ResolUed, That the general policy
adopted by the President of the United
States, in the prosecution of the war to
crush out the rebellion against the govern
ment, meets our hearty appreciation and
inspires us with confidence, and it be-
hooves all citizens TO rally around him in
this crisis, and give him their united
strength and support, within all constitu-
tional limits"
The nation is struggling for life while
the abolitionists arc toying with their De-
lilah. Remember We would-be- statesmen,
"There never yet was human power
That could evade, If unforgvon,
The patient watch and vigil long
OF him who treasures up a wrong"

July -, 1862.
GENTLEMEN The above inquiry is suggest
cd from the successful raid Of the Yankee
horsc-thievos who came into this county from
Culpeper on Saturday last. The circum-
stances are these: On Saturday morning last
about three hundred Yankee cavalry crossed
the Rnpidan river ut the Rackoon Ford, call
ing nj the house Of Hon. Jrr. Morton, which
they searcllrd but Mr.. NJ. WAS absent; they
then pressed into their service, as a Euld.:.
Mr.. MS carriage driver and one If his horses,
and proceeded in the direction Of LoIIiSa
Courthouse on what is called the Marquis or
Lafayette road crossing the rlanl; road about
II miles below Orange Courthouse, passing
the farms Of MeSsrs. John Sale, several Of the
Mr.. Moore's and Vim. Frazier, from several "f
which they stole horses and turned up about
early supper and feeding time at the Orange
Springs, where they made free with Mr..
Colcman's corn, meat, etc., and when they
left stole some horses that had been
sent there by a gentleman from near the
river, as a safe place. From the Springs
they continued their march and de-
predations in the way Of horsc-stcal-
ing to within six miles of Louisa Court
House, from which point they beat retreat,
crossing the plank-road at the same place,
about o'clock on Sunday morning, and
reached the ford about sunrise. The distance
from the ford to the point they reached IN
Louisa is 26 miles, and the time from the start
to their return, was about IL hours. Now
the most painful part of the story is to be
fojd We have II, rhe vicinity of Orange Court
House upwards of 1000 cavalry, and the
commander was notified, by 3o'clock P NJ,
on Saturday, that they had crossed tue plank
road, and afterwards By the scouts sent down,
who sent couriers back; and yet no reinforce.
ments were sent down nor any effort made
to capture them. All that was necessary was
to send few hundred men to form an am
buscade on the road, and await their return;
