The Virginia volunteer Bin Passed.

The House of Delegates has passed the bill
authorizing the organization Of a volunteer force
not exceeding ten thousand IN number, TO be
composed of the non conscript militia, and com
manded by Major Gen. Floyd, who is, by law,
commissioned for that purpose.
We consider ourselves authorized to report, on
what we deem good authority, that the Confed-
crate government may approve this legislation.
It will aid the cause greatly, by providing for
locaJ defense, by bringing into the service men
who could not be required to enter the Conted
crate service, but who, from their knowledge OF
the country and their deep interest in protecting
it from marsuders, will be found a very valuable
force.
It will moreover bring into the public service
general who possesses, in an eminent degree,
the confidence of the people, and who Is, per
haps, smore familiar with the character OF
| the people now threatened with invasion The
news that Floyd has been called to the field
will cheer the hearts of the. sOutherners and
give renewed confidence in the success Of the
cause.
We are very much grati6ed at the promptitude
with which this bill has been taken up and
passed. 1t proves that the chairman of the
military committee has been very successful IL
converting his members, and they must have co
operated very cordially in securing the passage

Terrible whirIwind in ViorOrsn, c, w

From the Lindsay Post
On the evening of Friday last this neighbor-
hood was visited by phenomenon which, on
land, may be termed q whirlw wind at sea would
| be called q wateIspout. st 3 o'clock IA the
evening the western sky became dark and cloud
ed, and the density Of the clouds increased until
they assumed the appearance OF what may be
conceived as the blackne58 OF darkness. Flashes
Of lightning would occasionally emanate from
amidst the blackness, and low rolling peals Of
thunder might be heard at intervals. The
clouds gradually lowered and contracted, until
they appeared floating on the surface OF the
earth.
About six o'clock distinct pillar of vapor
formed, rising from the ground TO a hight of at
least four hundred feet. It's diameter at the mar
rOwest part might be two feet. 1t appeared
about FIVE miles from this town, in a north
westerly direction After being completely
formed, aud having ASSUMED a definite appeat-
ance it seemed to eject vapOr aud water into the
heavens, which became blacker and darker than
ever. The pillar would occasionally divide aud
form into two separate columns and after a short
interval resume its first appearance. It moved
! along the surface of the ground at the tate Of
five miles an hour, IN zig gag directions.
The first effects of this phenomenon were wit
messed on Nr. BrysOn's farm, when it was NOV
ing to the southeast. The trees were uprooted
and cast ABOUT as 80 many TeeuSl the branches
were broken off and drawn into tho air TO a
| hight of at least 500 feet. 1t then turned to
the northeast of Mr. Ohm Gibbs farm buildings
These fortunately escaped, but about 600 yards
of the fencing were destroyed, the rails being
| strewn to immense DISTANCES. Hele it also tore
| up the ground, removing large stones from the
soil, and otherwise revealing the fearful effects
! of its fury. Moving eastward to Mr.. Alexander
McKinnOn's farm, it swept all before it. StTik-
ing his barn, it was torn to pieces and cast to
the ground as so many pieces of straw. For
tunately his cattle managed to escape in time, or
they would have inevitably shared the fate or
the poultry, nearly all of which were mangled
and hewn to pieces.
Pieces of the barn roof were carried upwards
| of 200 yards from the building, 1t then moved
to the northeast in the direction of Mr.. Wm
Hargrave's farm. Here it caused the greatest
destruction of any throughout its course. The
half of his house was carried away, his barn was
torn to pieces, aud everything connected with it
was destroyed. His wagon, which was loaded
with wood at the time, was raised in the alI
carried to great distance, and then dashed IL
pieces to the ground After this it moved into the
forest continuing to uproOt all within its reach,
causing the limbs and branches OF trees to fly
about as chaff before the wind. Pursuing its
course, it expended its force in the forest, and
nature resumed its wonted appearance.

readily assented f. his claim, and agreed to land

A young Vermont soldier, who has just come
home wounded, tells US that he went down
among the first, honestly to fight to right the
wrongs of the negro OF these he had heard a
great deal from his earliest days, and lis object
was TO free this poor, enslavod, oppressed
creature, painting and struggling TO burst his
bonds, and with his eye auxiously fixed on the
North to come forward aud Just lend him help
ing hand, aud all the rest he would do himself,
Accordingly, our young Vermonter and soldier
entered into the affair with an honest zeal, and
formed one of tho expeditions sent out to Big
Bethel, where our troops were led into an am
buscade by a negro pretending to be a fugitive,
though OF that the Nermouter knew nothing.
When the action took place, to his astOnishment
the first thing he specially noticed was burly
negro, on the other side, touching off a cannon
against the very breasts of his liberators; and
upon getting forward on an elevation, he saw at
a little distance a considerable body Of the same
color, blazing away with musket, alas not on
the side of freedom The young Vermontef

hereafter a wiser and far more useful member Of
