noticed in the papers that the authorities Of
Western Virginia contemplate rCtaliatory meas

have been adopted, am not informed. West
crn Virginia has been recognized by my Gov

to pursue towards a certain class OF citizens OF
that State necessarily induces a retaliatory one.
] am not, however, authorized TO say what
will be the action of my Government, in the
event that the course indicated in your letter ID
persisted In. You threaten TO hang an officer
and certain prlvates Of this command, now In
your power. You cannot be ignorant that a
much larger number of rebel prisoners are In
my power, aud you must not presume so far
upon the iOrbearanCe and superior humanity
of the Federal authorities as to put that threat
into execution. | hope you will not compel me
TO the painful alternative which the execution
Of your threat will render inevitable. | notice

LAMo1LLE CENTRAL ACADEMY.-There
is a fair prospect that there will be a
school in this place next spring, under
the tuition of Rev. Mr.. Bailey, a gradu-
ate of Middlebury College, assisted by
two competent teachers. and that an op-
portunity will be affored for the pursuit Of
all the branches of study usually taught
in an academy. Scholars living in this
vicinity can be much better Accommodated
so near home than at a school in a dis
tant village, especially if they wish to
board themselves, and depend on a sup
ply of pies and other fixings from home.
1t is hoped that the school will be started
on such a basis as to warrant its success
and ~permanency, and that hereafter our
academy be second to none in this section.

these very men who have served their
country nearly a year on credit had been
sold to pay his taxes aud that his family,
consisting of a wife and seven children
had been sent to the poor house ! l have
no doubt, judging from the ~credibility of
the party making this statement, of its
entire accuracy. Is it a wonder that men
smarting under such rank injnstice will
commit depredations. However guilty he
may be the soldier is not the only party
to blame.
1t is but a short time since that a cor
poral in the Sd Wisconsin Regiment was
shot by a peacable Union nan in the
night, while engaged with his companions
in robbing a hen-roost not two miles from
this place. The ball went through the
victims brain killing him instantly. The
citizen did not know that he had hurt
any one until he went out the next morn
ing, as his great object was to brighten
the thieves away. Finding what he had
done he Immediately surrendered him
self to the proper authority. Upon in
vestigation his story was found correct e.
ing corroborated by the testimony of the
surviving ~marauders, and he was dis
charged from custody. Thursday night
a couple of men dressed as soldiers went
to the house of a Union man, living five
or six miles from here, stating that they
had orders to search his house for some
purpose. The search was made without
objection, the men were satisfied and left
the house. But they went immediate
to the hen-roost and commenced killing
the poultry. The proprietor came out
and demonstrated when one of them shot
him dead on the spot. These two rascals
are supposed to be bush whackers" and
a vigorous attempt will be made to catch
and punish them. Such are some speci-
mems of the lawlessness that is so conta-
gious in this latitude. Fairfax county
bids fair to be what the northern coun-
ties of England were during the long and
memorable period of the Border Wars"
