An Exciting Time.

Never before, in the history of Floyd
County, has so much excitement been
experienced 10y our citizens as during
the past week. The news of the con-
tinued battles in Virginia--the en-
rollment of the militia preparatory to
Il draft, and the applications for ex-
emption therefrom-thc terrifying
news of Indian atrocities in Minneso.
ia and this State--have all tended to
raise excitement to it's highest pitch,
and keep it there. Nor has this ex-
element yet subsidized. Many a fami-
ly have been unable to sleep at night
