From the Richmond Examiner Of Saturday
THE ROMNEY EXPEDITION.

Direct information was received here yes
terday that, on Friday Of last week, the Yam
KEGS had abandoned Romney, and that at
last accounts General JAcKsoN's command
had not invested the place. but had advanced
within some six or seven miles Of it.
The Yankee force in Romney was seven
thousand men, under General Kelly. Their
flight was precipitate, SO much SO that all
the papers Of the Yankee Adjutant General
were captured, revealing their force and
command, as stated above. A vast amount
of military stores were abandoned.
The sufferings Of our troops on the expe-
dition are said TO have surpassed anything
yet known in the history Of the campaign,
They were compelled at one time to struggle
through an almost binding storm of snow
and sleei. and 10 bivouac at night in the
forests, without tents or camp equipage.
Many Of the troops were frozen on the march
and died from exposure and exhaustion and
the hospitals at Winchester were filed with
the returning sick.
The town Of Romney is said to have been
left uninjurcd BY the Yankees ; but many Of
the iarm.houses in the neighboring country
had been burnt. About thirty Of their strag-
glers were taken prisoners by our troops.
|, is said that General Jackson has applied
Tor reiniorcements, with the view of an ex-
tension Of his movements beyond Romney.

MANurAcToRIEs OF GEoRGIA--The Allan
ia (Geo) Intelligencer says: The aggregate
weekly production Of cotton goods in this
State, may be set down as follows:
Shirtings and sheetings. 2Os, 900 yards.
Osnaburgs. Stripes, Drills and Denims,
27l 500 yards.
The exhibit Of wooden goods is almost as
satisfactory.
The amount of Kerseys and Linseys man
ufactured in Georgia per week being $4,000
yards. And of wooden Jeans and Cassimeres,
being $4,000 yards. '
These goods are made by thirty-one fac
tories. The number of factories in North
Carolina considerably exceeds that in Geor-
gia, and we think it probable that the pro-
duct IS larger. Fayetteville Observer.

For .he HIII.boroush Rseorder.

Ma. HEaRrr: After a second trip 10 the
Salt Works in Virginia, we are dsappointe q
like hundreds Of others in being able to offer
an immediate supply Of salt at reasonable
price.
The Confederate Government had made a
heavy requisition for salt. which the Gov.
eminent agent informed Us would be sup.
piled by to-day, TUESDAY slst January.
On our first trip the agent Of the Works told
Us that they would be able TO furnish our
salt soon after The LIST OF January. But the
Government has held the works longer than
they expected. and prevented them from full.
filling their engagements. They assured US
that, unless the Government made another
requlsItion, they would furnish our salt in
about twenty days. We do not expect il
now until the latter part Of February. We
would say to those who cannot get tempo
rary supply that we will purchase for then
from Wilmington, two bushel sacks, at ten
dollars per sack, or three bushel sacks, if
preferred. IN proportion. This salt will not
hold out IN measure or In weight, as Il is wet
and loses constantly. but is the best that can
be done Fotc, Is salt is selling at enormously
high rates in Petersburg.
Respectfully.
