In business letter from an officer of the

gloomy picture:

complaining) the cold winds and SHOWS Of
these wild mountains, with no prospect of the

slider either an impossibility. We are trying.
by details Of our most active men, to procure

ganture OF our Cavalry.

The Fincastle Express learns from a gentle
man direct from Lewisburg, that one day last
week, through the carelessness of our scouts,
the Yankees captured one hundred and five of
our cavalry, as many horses, and destroyed
the camp equipage of the force arrested 1t
seems that our men were scouting on Sinking
Greek, the same place where our wagons were
recently burned, and that the pickets were
very careless in the discharge of their dates
leaving their pest and returning when con-
venient. A picketxef ten men having left
their post and gone to camp, were returning
when small squad Of the enemy was seen in
the read ahead. Chase was given, when the
squad of Yankees retired in haste. Our men
pursued until reaching short turn in the
road, where they found themselves face to face
with force of several hundred of the enemy
who fired upon them, and in turn gave chase
to cur men. The chase was an exciting one.
for some distance, our men reaching their
camps in advance of the enemy, but too late
to give those in camp time to prepare for the
reception of their nnwelcome visitors. Not
one ct our men escaped; all were taken pri-
soners, and their tents destroyed. From what
we learned it was evidently case of the most
paipable neglect, and one deserving investiga-
ton by the authorities. We learn that Capt.
Lackey' scompany of cavalry, from Rockhridge,
was among those taken prisoners Uncer-
tainty exists as to the fate of Capt. Lackey-l
the last seen of him, he was engaged in hand
to hand conflict with Yankee, and nothing
has been heard of him since. We hope, how
ever, that he is among the prisoners Lynch.

EX-PresIdent Buchanan to 20 to
& Congress.
1t is said that Ex- President Buchanan-the
"old pub func" will probably be candidate
before the Pennsylvania Legislature this win
ter for United States Senator.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
The majority in the present Legislature of
Pennsy lvania on joint ballot being largely
Democratic, it has been wondered by many
who would be nominated by that party for
the United States Senate. Rumor has said
already on several occasions that Ex-Presi-
dent James Buchanan will be the man, in or
der that he may have the opportunity, in the
Senate of the United States, to clear his skirts
of the serious charges still hanging over him.
His friends consider that he efectually used
up General Scott by his last letter, and are of
opinion that he will be able to vindicate him
self to the satisfaction of the country when
the proper time arrives.
On dit, on excellent authority, that at a
Democratic caucus Of the members of the Leg.
islature lately held in this city, it was deter
mined by large majority that Buchanan
should be the nominee. If so he will be
elected.

The EHurderers Arrested.

We have the good fortune to announce this
week. that the negroes who brutality murder
ed Mr. VIM. Mcdaniel. in the lower end of
this county on the 18th Of Oct. last, have been
arrested and are now in prison. As was
supposed at the time, Montgomery's Jerry
was the ringg-leader. Jerry was from Greene
c"unty Tenn. and belonged to the estate OF
the late S. W. Montgomery, Of this county,
but had been sold in Jefferson county, Tenn.
For four years past, he has been running at
large, committing his depredations under the
cover OF night, and eluding all attempts to
capture him. At the time of the murder, he
had two other runaways from Greene coun-
ty with him. Mr.. Mcdaniel met them in the
woods near Col. Preston's residence on the
day of the murder, and on questioning them
they told him they were runaways from the
Saitworks- Having a large roll Of leather
with them, he ordered them to take it to Col.
Prestnn's house, when they fell upon and
murdered him. They then concealed them
selves, and at night met and removed the
body and sunk it in the creek, where it was
subsequently found. After this, they went to
Greene county, where they remained week
OF two, then to the neighborhood Of Estillville,
Va, and some two or three weeks ago return
ed to the locality of the murder.
They were all entrapped on Monday night
asst, by. Col. Preston's negroes, assisted and
directed by Messrs. Frank Preston, Roland
Iegard and others, and lodged in our Jail on |

ART WANT TO BE An ANGEL
want to be soldier,

And keep away from harm. ~

And eat good butter'd bread.
Than fight ali day with naught to eat

That men should have to 90
And JOIN the army. whether they
Should want to fight or no;

Ia regard to the 9Th Ga. Bait. Artillery which
you will pardon me for correcting. / do so
not only for reasons iustifable to myself but
for the purpose of counteracting wrong inn

some idea Of the expense to the Government,
.'when an Artillery Battalion, comprising only
about t1Oo hundred men" required such heavy
allowances in provinder, provisions, &C., as

625 men; for goo men would not only be very
unproportioned, but it would be verv glar-
