Dear Ssr.-On behalf of a number of
the citizens Of Augusta county, we re-
specially beg your acceptance OF the

The people of Augusta are deeply

now desire to tender you this small tes-
timonial of their gratitude and admira-
ton.
That you may pass safely through the
perils OF the great contest for liberty

Testimonial 10 Lieut.. Gen. Jackson.

It will be seen from the subjoined cor
respondence that the people Of Augusta
have not been insensible to the signal
services rendered to them by "Old
|Stonewall." Surely no man ever more
richly merited the testimonial which
has been so appropriately offered, and
gracefully accepted. a few months
ago, our county was threatened from
the west and the north, with invasion
and spoliation by two hostile armies I'M
der Milroy and Banks. Their advance
guards were at our very borders, and a
general feeling of insecurity pervaded
the community In the midst of our
apprehension, and when some Of our
citizens had begun to remove their fam
lilies and property, a significant message
was received from Gen. Jackson, urging
our people to remain quiet, that the en-
envy were not get in Augusta
Within a few days after this message
was received, Gen. Jackson, by bril-
liant strategic movement, fell unex-
pectedly on Milroy and routed him. and
while Banks was under the impression
that the conquering hero had fed to
Gordonsville, he in turn attacked the
two divisions Of Banks army under FIRE.
mont and Shields at Cross Keys and Port
Republic, and drove them discounted
and demoralized from the Valley of Vir-
ginia and the citizens Of Augusta were
thus, by the brilliant strategy and un-
surpassed valor of the gallant Jackson,
relieved from all apprehension Of dan
ger.
These signal services ofGeneral Jack
son sunk deeply into the hearts of the
fpeapae of Augusta, ana tie testimonial
which they have now rendered to him
is buta faint expression Of their gratitude
and admiration.

Yankee Ship Captured.

On the 18th of December, Captain
Semmes, of the Privateer, Alabama, cap
tured the Yankee steamship Ariel, with
her crew and one hundred and forty
marines. Her officers after giving up
their side arms, were pareled. Lieut..
Low, of the Alabama, boarded the Ariel,
took possession of all arms and equip
ments, three thousand dollars in Treas
uly notes, and fifteen hundred dollars
in silver. The Ariel brought no gold,
for fear Of having it captured. Having
destroyed al! the sails of the Yankee
steamer, and removed one of her steam
valves, she was bonded for one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars, and
the cargo and freight for one hundred
and thirty-ive thousand dollars more,
making total of two hundred and six
ty thousand dollars, the whole to be paid
to the Confederate authorities within
thirty DAYS after the establishment fthe
independence of the Confederate States.
Jones, the captain of the Ariel, left New
York on the 26th TO lay the matter be-
fore the authorities in Washington.

Bridges Destroyed by Yankee Cavalry.

A body of Yankee cavalry numbering,
it is reported, some four thousand men,
made a raid on Monday, the Both ult.,
upon the East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad and destroyed two important
bridges, one ocross the Holster and the
other across the Watauga river. The
bridge across the Holster at Brownsville
was guarded by two hundred of our cav
? .lry, who were completely surprised and
made prisoners without resistance.
The enemy advanced within six miles
of Bristol, the terminus Of the Virginia
& Tennessee railroad, but retired with
ont coming to the place. They after
wards advanced towards Jonesboro' and
burned the bridge across the Watauga.
At this place small scouting party OF
citizens hastily gotten together came up
with them and brisk skirmish occur
red in which one Of the enemy was xii
led and two captured.

Gea. Stuart's late Raid.

Gen. Stuart has recently been on an
other circuit, paying his compliments to
the enemy. He was absent ten days.
The first conflict he had with the enemy
was at Dumfries where he captured sew
eral hundred prisoners, and destroyed a
good deal of Yankee stores. Leaving
that place he proceeded to Selectmen's
Ford, over the Occoquan, where he
found three regiments of the enemy's
cavalry drawn up to dispute his passage.
Dashing through the stream he attacked
and routed the Yankees, who fed in
dismay, strewing the road with arms
and clothing. There being nothing to
gain by pursuing the terrified Yankee
horsemen, General Stuart proceeded a.
long the line Of the Orange and Alex
andria railroad to Acotinck Creek. ten
miles from Alexandria, and DESTROYED
the railroad bridge at that place. Thence
he went to Anandale, seven miles from
Alexandria, and destroyed great
quantity Of stores and equipage. From
this point, his operator telegraphed
Lincoln's Quartermaster General that
if he did not furnish more transporta-
ton to the army of the Potomac that
Gen. Stuart would cease to look after
it.
From Anandale General Stuart went
to Fairfax Govt House, then to Aide
and Warrenton, and thence back to

The Price of Sla YES.

We feel curious to know what the deluded people
of the North think the present unprecedented high
prices of slaves in the South Just at the very time
when Lincoln declares that they to be emancipa-
ted. they command higher prices than ever before
Gould anything demonstrate more satisfactorily the
utiiity Of his infamous proclamation? The people Of
the South felt that the institution of slavery
safer than at the present time. The futility Of
Lincoln emancipation proclamation eclipses tha Of
the "Pope's bull against sthe comet" but differs in
this that the Popes bull against the comet exhibited
90 evil design, whilst Lincolns proclamation shows
that he mpelIed by motive of fiendish charac
ter. The Pope Was innocent Of crime, Lincoln was
not The Pope was ignorant of astronomy, Lincoln
ignorant of Southern character. The Pope was a
fool, Lincoln both fool and knaye.

The Torld purposely misrepresents what we
said about Democratic gains in Vermont. 1t
takes part of our figures and part of our ap-
pended explanation only, and tries to make it
appear that We said what we did not say. Such
willful peryersion Of statement is simply for
gerry; not whit more honest than to quote a
witness as saying II did" instead of 81 did
not" The omission Of "not" may look like
small matter, but most people would call such
an omission by very hard name; yet that Is
just the way The World quotes our figures. We
showed the returns for ten years; The World
quotes but three of them. We showed that the
Republican majority had risen from II, 7e6 in
1854 to 81 900 in 1868; that it is this year
nearly 1000 more than for President Lincoln,
while the Democratic vote this year is 1000 less
than Lincoln's opponents got. We showed
that to count gains from an exceptional
year. when no effort was made to bring ont the
party, was unfair and deceptive. For instance;
Last year no Democratic votes according to
The Rutland Courier were cast in the towns OF
Danville, Mansfield, Waterbury, Randolph,
and Essex; only one vote each in Castleton and
Cayendish, two in st. Johnshury, &c. In
fact, there were 1913 towns in the State in
which not Democratic vote was cast. Does
The World pretend that the entire vote on its
side cast in these towns thisyear is truly gain
to the Democratic party' When we are capable
Of ciphering with such deliberate intent to de-
ceiye as The Uord shows in this matter, its
afTectionate advice TO stop will be in place.

The occupation Of Chattanooga by General
Rosecrans IL a more brilliant success than II
achieved by help Of a victory. /" Battles are the

greatest We are q little slow TO believe H.
but Gen. Ro5ecraus il 30 thorough teacher

Magnifcently done II was, but Chattanooga Is
a still higher talent. Needless 10 remind our
selves that it was famous Rebel stronghold.
Its impregnabity has been Wanted In every
Rebel journal for twelyemonth past. Nature
had done her utmost TO secure il from assault,
and engineering science had trebed is natural
strength. Cen Rosecrans might have buried
half his army on its craggy slopes before be had
fought his way into It's recesses but he turns
its terrors into triumph by skillful strategy, and
simple flank movement discloses tie weakness
Of this formidable fastncss. II Ia simple how

pllcation Of simple general principles in difficult
circumstances-the natural obstacles being in
this case the greatest TO be overcome. Rivers,

little from her share in the Rebellion. Gen.
Roseerans's advance in heavy force, which has

must be meant not less against Atlanta. Chat

crn line of railroads which united the South
Western and NORTHEASTERN sections of the
Rebel Confederacy. Atlanta is tho key to the
Southern, and this Southern line is now the
only remaining railway communication between
Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, and Vir-
ginia; and even this Is crcuitOus and uncertain.

ern and Southern halves of the Confederacy are
just as helplessly severed as the Eastern and
Western were by the fall Of Vicksburg
and Port Hudson. If Bragg retreats on
Montgomery ho is completely isolated. If
ho retreats toward Augusta, Alabama is
isolated, and the remains of Johnston's army
fall an easy prey along with Mobile. Whatever
course the Rebel leader may resolve on, he has
no hope of preserving the territorial integrity OF
the Confederacy, except by victory, and the
hope Of victory wanes with every days delay.
His army is dissolving by desertion, his supplies
wasting, his retreat certainly threatened. we
Judge therefore, that if he means to fight at all
it will be near Atlanta, and he cannot be sure
that Gen. Rosecrans will leave him even the
chapce of battle at that place. Yet there
must DO some point at which the process OF out
1ahking comes to Oh end, and Bragg must
finally either fight where his adversary chooses
or find the Atlantic Ocean in his rear and re-
treat into that.

REBEL VESSELS IN FRENCH PORTS

Some Of the English papers have sensation
paragraph upon the presence Of two notorious
Rebel vessels in French ports, the Alabama
being reported to be at Cherbourg and the
Florida at Brcst. They regard this fact as n
significant indication that France is going to
take some decided steps in favor of the Rebel
Con!cdcracy, and that hos,ili,icS between France
and the United States are imminent.
The accounts which reach us respecting this
matter from France do not, rs yet, confirm the
English statement The correspondent of the
Courier des Eats Unis states that the Florida
was requested not to fire salute, because it
would not be returned II is also stated that
the French authorities entered upon the usual
examination Of papers, and that when the bill
of health was found wanting the Florida was
ordered into quarantine. There is rs yet no in
dication that any undue facilities have been
granted to the Rebel vessels by the Government
of France. We have not yet learned any de-
tails about the Alabama ut Chcrbourg but il
cannot be expected that the course of the French
Government in regard to her should be different
from that pursued in relation 10 the Florida.
