The Union, our new cotemporary,
made its first appearance on Monday. 1t
is good sized sheet, very nea. and tasty
in its mechanical execution, Republican
politically, and no doubt will prove acccp-
table TO most of our citizens.
We like its salutatory address and fully
accord with it in its promise of unhinch-
support of the Government, its purpose
to urge an unhinching and vigorous pros
ecution of the war, at any and every cost
and sacrifice, until the last vestige of re-
belion is swept away" and "no COM
promise with armed traitors"
We assure the Union il has our hearty
cooperation, in all its efforts to bring
about the grand results set forth, as re-
CARDS the rescue and perpetuity of our
glorious country, and will find us so far
an unfinching ally, and wc trust mutual
aids in every good and perfect work.
Rev. L. M. S. SMITH, of Mill Point,
editor, and H. G. AKELEY, Esq, of this

nobly to the rescue. We are informed,
from the most credible sources, that the
citizens Of the two townships of Holland
and iceland, in their liberality, have con-
tributed $4,000 bounty to volunteers, and
that $50 have volunteered to sustain the
good old flag. In the space of twenty
four hours, in iceland alone, $4,000 were
pledged and 80 volunteers secured. One
farmer alone, Mr. YNTEMA, contributing
$3.50, and others, of their means, very
literally. We feel assured our adopted
citizens will do their whole duty toward
the Government that has so generously
opened its arms TO receive them, and will,
by no means, turn their back upon her in
the day of her calamity.

Federal part in the recent battles does not OK

much larger.
Thursday morning a squadron OF Federal
cavalry were surprised and defeated by a body
Of Confederates, near Tompkinavile, KY. The
Confederates are reported to be moving on
Bowling Green, with the intention OF Destroy
ing the bridges and railroads, 4 large force OF
Confaderates, under Col. Morgan, are also re-
ported to be in Barren county, Ky.
The advices from Vicksburg are no later than
the 7th. The Confederates had endeavored to
strengthen their earthworks on the Bluff, but
were prevented by the shells from the mortar
feet. Most Of the houses in the city have
been more or less damaged.
The war in Western Virginia, especially in
Roane and Jackson counties, goes on-prlncl-
pally by squads Of the opposing forces. Re
Gently several houses Of rangers as they are
called, were burned by the Federal troops, TO-
rays having been made by their owners, who
killed several Of the Federal troops.
Charles Lucas, of the Wise Artillery, from
Martinsburg was killed on Friday. His bro

company was seriously wounded. In the en-
esgement near Fair Oaks, Brigadier General
Griffith had one Of his legs broken, and appre

Donald, of Winchester, and aid to Gen. Elzey,
was killed in one of the recent battles.
The latest advices from the army report all
quiet. Considerable firing was heard up the
James river at Fortress Monroe on Thursday,
but the cause was not known.
The Philadelphia Press of yesterday says:
''Gen. Popes army has advanced ten miles be-
vond Warrenton without meeting the Contedc-
rates and is still moving southwark to the
strategic point, which We presume will be Cor
louisville, from which columns will diverge to-
wards Richmond The railroad is now III
operation between Warrenton and Manassas,
and will furnish sufficient means OF transporta-
ton for large army. A few days will enable
Gen. Pope to threaten Richmond on the north
with his entire command. The plans OF this
advance have no doubt been re-arranged be-

GEN. MCCLELLAN s ARMY The Baltimore
American says there having been considerable
speculation as to thenumerical strength Of Gen.
McCleIan's army the following, from the ar
nv correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaal. will be read with interest:
1T would not be prudent to attempt to state
definitely how much it has been reduced nu
merically But there can be n" improprletyl IN
stating that Gen. Mcclellan was never able to
carry over $4,000 effective men into BATTLE
When he landed at Fortress Monroe, his mus
ter rolls exhibited lis, 900 men OF all arms. A
considerable proportion of these, say 5000,
were cavalry, Of which 1000 were servlceable.
The remainder would have served their country
better behind their plows at home Others
were necessarily detailed to keep open our COM
munications and protect our fanks-leaving
about 100, 900 to be disposed Of. A very large
per centage of sick were then to be subtracted
It is not very extravagant to say that wounds
and deaths at Yorktown cost us 1000 men;
williamsburg cost us 8 1000; West Point ESQ;
Hanover Court House 500; Fair Oaks, so say
official bulletins, 5, 'O0 wish [ could believe
that were ALL Skirmishes and affairs before

how many! Where are the stragglers? 10 be
sure the enemy have lost full as many, but they
could afford it. Without attempting to esti-
mate the average number of sick, | will give
one exceptional fact which may cause you to
shudder. When Gen. Casey's division landed
| at Fortress Monroe, it numbered 5000 men
When his division was routed at Seven Pines
it numbered less than 5000 All the rest were
dead and in the hospital But no other divi-
sion suffered as much. After Seven Pines, it
| was no division at ALL Many of these losses
were compensated by reinforcements re-
giments-say 5000 men from Fortress Monroe,
and Gen. McCal's division Of 10000 electives
from the Rappahannock. But even with all

New METHOD OF GIVING CHLoRoFoRN.-
At recent meeting Of the Obstetrical Society
in London, DR.. Simpson described a plan Of
administering chloroform, which he has nov
adopted in preference to that at present muse
The present mode is to fold up handkerchief
and pour into the hollow quantity OF chloro'
form, and then hold it at some distance from
the face, so as to admit Of atmospheric ali
being inhaled along with the vapor. line new
plan is to lay single layer of handkerchief over
the face and let the chloroform fall on 1t drop
by drop. The advantages are these:-]. lha'
there is less danger to the patient from 'ns
small quantity administered at time .
That anasthesia is more speedily produced.
3. That the quantity Of chloroform requlreaS,
less. Various gentlemen who had made oA
of the plan confirmed the value Of this process
and DR.. Young, in particular, stated tha' NJ 10
kept patient narcotized for ten hours WIZ
ten ounces of chloroform.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 27.-The Old Point boat
has arrived The Richmond Dispatch of Fri.
day shows that the rebels are much perplexed
at their defeat in Kentucky. The Dispatch
says, eve regret to say that the report of a
federal victory in Kentucky, conveyed TO us
on Wednesday night from northern sources,
is more than confirmed by intelligence receiv.
ed here at the war department. 1t appears
our defeat was more decisive than even north.
ern accounts had led us to believe" The ed.
itor says, This disaster and the apprehension
it has excited for the safety of our connection
with the southwest, through the Virginia and
Tennessee and East Tennessee and Virginia
railroads, and the possible interruption of our
intercourse with the south, via the Whining
ton and Weldon railroad, by Burnside's expe-
dition, directs attention to the vital importance
of completing the connection between the
Richmond and Danville and the North Caro-
lima railroad"
The Dispatch contains a telegram from
Norfolk that the Baltimore South contains
statement that a report reached Baltimore OF
the loss of five of the vessels of Burnside's
feet in Pamlco Sound, and that a large
steamer, probably the louisiana, had been
burnt, etc. Thus it would seem that this re-
port had no other foundation than that secesh
sheet; the Baltimore South.

WHEELING, Jan. 27.-In convention to-day,
Mr.. Battelle of Ohio county offered the fol
lowing propositions relative to slavery in the
new state: No slave shall be brought into the
state for permanent residence after the adop-
ton of this constitution. All children born OF
slave parents in this state, on and after the 4tll
of July, 1865, shall be free, and the legislature
may provide by general laws for the appren-
ticeship of such children, during minority, for
subsequent colonization.
The above propositions were referred to the
committee on general provisions, which COM
mittee will probably report some day this
week. 1t is not expected that the committee
will report any provision of the above charac
ter, the majority being adverse to the con
sideratlon OF slavery but it is thought that
when they make their report proposition
embodying the sentiments of the free state
men will be brought forward, and will be, from
present indications, fiercely contested.
