TIE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE --Sena-
tor Anthony Of Rhode Island, who does
not speak very often, but who always
speaks to the point, administered very
pleasant rebuke the other day to those
Senators who complain because some oi
those imprisoned since the rebellion
broke out have had to take the oath OF
allegiance in order to obtain their liber-
ty. Said the Senator:
al cannot understand why any citi.
zen should refuse TO take the oath oI
allegiance when called upon to do so by
competent authority. Were It not that
l hear gentlemen upon the other side,
whose loyalty l do not question, say
they would not do it. / should say that
no loyal American citizen shsuld refuse
to take it. A Senator on the opposite
side Of the chamber asked the other
day, would you take the oath OF al
legiance on compulsIon? Sir, l would
take il any way and every day. as often
as anybody wished me to take it. /
would be willing to take it three times
day as grace before meat. Indeed |
think there is no form OF expression in
the language. except the Lords prayer.
that an American citizen can ofteuer
take with advantage TO bis souls health,
than an oath to support the Constitu-
ton OF the United States."

SUGAR AND WHISKY IN RICHMOND.
Sugar has advanced enormously in the
Richmond market. The Examiner of
the Cd says that brown sugar was sell
ing at 95 cents pound by the barrel,
and molasses at Sc 10 @6 95 gallon.
"The same commodities were retailing,
sugar at SI@I 10 per pound, and
molasses at 81 5O@s8 and upward per
gallon" This startling advance is
attributed TO the "active aggressive
operations Of the enemy in the South
and South-~est. which may ultimately
result in the destruction OF communi-
cation with Richmond for a time"
Whisky has also advanced. 1.-THE
vilest whisky" SAYS the same paper,
(which. before the war, a gentleman
would not give to his negroes, is now
eagerly sought after and bought at from
S95 to $50 gallon. French brandy
is worth from $40 to $780," All of
which goes to show the value of secess-
ion. and what the nigger aristocracy
secure in an armed search after their
rights. If there is any thing that will
ever bring Governor Letcher to COM
promising condition of mind. or dis
position to listen to overtures of peace
from Vallandigham d Co.. it will be
a further advance in the price OF whis-
ky Gin. Com. I0th.

Fifth Va. has no particular friends II

they have no particular enemies. AnC
as most Of your subscribers are, | be.
lieve, friends Of the Union and Of tn,
good cause in which we are engaged,
propose TO let them hear from this very
little thought of but very importan
Department of our Army.
Though there is nothing particularly
interesting Or important going on al
present. it will. perhaps, be gratifying
TO know even this much. That we are
in no immediate danger Of attack is also
gratifying, at least to us. Since the
5th has been here, their time has been
principally employed in scouting the
hills Of Big Sandy, picketing and fora
ging. Several prisoners have been
captured and sent to Wheeling. On
Friday night last, twelve prisoners
were shipped for Headquarters on
board the Ohio No. 3, in charge Of our
Adjutant. They belonged to Gems.
jenkins and Floyd's army. Though
the people have heard but little of the
doings OF our army in this section, we
have not been altogether idle. We are
continually picking up stragglers and
men who have venlured home on fur
Tough. The 39th KY, still maintains
its position at Peach Orchard, on Big
Sandy river, near its head, notwith.
standing their serious reverse not long
since. The 4Oth Ohio and 84th Ind,
are at the Forks of Big Sandy, but
am not advised as to their operations
The 9th is recruiting slowly, and. il
luck favors us, by spring. we will be
able to make a pretty respectable ap-
pearance again.
When we left our camp at this place
in November, 1869. we had $40 men
rank and file, now We can muster about
ugh, mum is the word.
As there is a great deal of talk
through the country about the firing
into the steamer St. Patrick on Christ
mas morning last. and as the 9th has
been slightly misrepresented, l propose
to set the matter before the people In
its proper light. That the St. Patrick
was fred into, no one here pretends TO
deny; that it was the 9Th who did it.
is also true. but that they did il TO make
her land is most assuredly mistake
My informant, who is an officer in the
9Th says that it was an accident OF one
Of the men. The man who did the
firing was net drunk as he's been er-
roneously stated, and although he was
as "sober as a judge" is now under
arrest, awaiting his trial by court-mar-
tial.
l have perhaps written enough for
the present Should any thing transpire
hat will interest the public, you shall
be duly informed thereof.
Respectfully, &C.,
