WHO Is RESPONSIRLEa

We learn, upon good authority, that
when our forces evacuated Winchester
not long since, large quantity of arms,
ammunition md tents were unnecessarily
destroyed. We understand that wagons
were brought away empty, whilst these
arms, ammunition and tents were de-
stroyed to prevent them from falling
into the hands of the enemy. There IS
certainly very great culpability some
where, and The responsible person should
be punished. There were, we learn, a
thousand or more of the very best new
guns broken to pieces, four wagon loads
Of ammunition thrown into wells and
cutters, and many tents destroyed or
left tor the enemy.
Guns should never be destroyed save
in cases of direst necessity; for without
guns men can render TO service in bat
tie. We have a sufficient number of
men, but they can be ofno service with
out arms. Guns should be saved if
nothing else could be.

senting the North Carolina troops in the

MISSISSIPPI. accounts from Mis-
sisippi are Of the most encouraging
character. When the order was given
by Gen. Johnston for the retreat Of the
army from jackson, number of men
who were attached to the Mississippi
regiments and were eager to shed their
last drop of blood in defence of her soil
and capital, temporarily left the ranks
without leave, otake a last adieu OF the
loved ones at home, who were left in the
lines of the enemy. Every man who
has spark of human kindness in his
bosom, while he may not Justify, will
appreciate and tolerate the motives while
prompted to such violation of army reg
nlations. We are happy to learn, upon
the mostundoubted authority, that these
men !. are last returning to their places to
fight, and to fall, if need be, whitherso.
ever the fortunes Of the war may carry
them.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Confederate Government takes
oae-teaM of the farmers products in
the shape of a s'tax in kind" and leaves
nine -tentAs in the possession Of the own
er, whereas the enemy, where they now
have possession OF orr country, take
nine-tenths and leave the farmer one
tenth. They seem to act upon the prin-
ciple that it is "poor rule which does
not work both ways" This conduct Of
the enemy in levying tax nine times
as great as that of the Confederate Gov
eminent, should make our farmers pay
their 1.-THE with cheerfulness. The mot
to of our people should be, "millions
for defence, but not cent for tribute
They should give all to the Confederacy,
rather than blade of grass to the enemy.

CoMMANDANT OF THE POST.

Colonel IL. B. Davidson, who has been
commandant of the Post of Stanton.
desiring TO engage in the active service
of his country, has been, by his own re-
quest, transferred to the field and as,
signed to duty in Tennessee, and Colonel
J. @. A. Nadenbush, whosucceeded the
lamented Colonel Allen in the command
of the I'd Va. infantry regiment, has
been appointed commandant ofthe Post
in his stead. Colonel Nadenbush is a
gallant officer, and has been rendered
unable, by wounds received in battle, to
continue in the field. Col. Davidson
has made many friends here who would
be pleased to hear of his winning lau-
rels in the field. May lis shadow and
aldermanie proportions mover grow less.

HEADS Up-HEARTs RIGHT.

Heads up! Why that long face and
gloomy countenance? You must be
bilious. and should take blue pill for
there is no cause for encouragement
even, much less for dependency. The
prospects of the enemy have never been
SO bad as at this moment, and we have
never been so near the end of our trials.
The much-dreaded CONSUMPTION act of
the enemy will avail them little, and
they can never venture upon another
We have now sufficient men in the pay,
if not in the seqyice, of the Confederacy
to defeat the enemy at all points. All
that is necessary is to get them to
their posts of duty. The danger, if any
exists, is not in the strength and num-
bers of the enemy, but in the remiss-
ness of our own officers and soldiers, who
are at home or hiding in the woods in
stead of being with their more gallant
comrades in the sstented field" The
Confederate Government has now about
as many men in its pay as it can well
afford to support; and, unless there be
a real and exigent necessity, it would
be bad policy to take more men from
| their homes, where they are producers,
TO convert them into consumers, and
thus, at the same time, diminish the re-
sources of the country, whilst greater
burdens are imposed upon the Govern
ment The President says: "The men
now absent from their posts would, if
present in the field, suffice TO create nu-
merical equality between our forces and
that Of the invaders : and when, with
any approach to such equality, have we
failed to be victorious % The President
ought to be good authority, and upon
his authority we say it is not more men,
but greater fidelity, which we need
On the part of the soldiers there should
be more fidelity and less shirking,-
Imore fighting and less deserving; and,
on the part of the citizens, there should
be more cheerfulness and less despond-
|ency, more hope and less fear, more lib
crafty and less speculation, more pa
triotism and less extortion, more honesty
and less robbery, more christianity and
less Mammon worship; and, "with a
long pull, strong pull, and pull all
together we would soon attain the
l.ssummum bonum" of our wishes-the
freedom and independence of our coun-

Those who find a cross mark upon
their papers, or wrappers, will under
stand that they are owing for subscrip-
ton from the 1st of May, 1860, or near
that time, to September 18th, 1868, and
that their papers will be discontinued,
after the issue dated September 18th,
unless they pay $500 the amount mOac
due-and $500 additional for the next
years subscription. Those, therefore,
who desire their papers continued, will
enclose the sum of 1920, and those
who do not, will enclose the sum of

would continue to remain subscribers
Their failure to pay has not resulted,
we are satisfied, from any Discrimination
or want of ability to do so, but from
neglect alone-they have not thought q
it. We are brought to this conclusion by
observing that some of orr most respect
able, responsible and substantial subscrib
ers are in arrears to the amount and fol
the time mentioned. We are satisfied
that this reminderis all that is needed t.
induce them to pay at once, both wha
they are new owing and what will OBJ

to wit: $1,000.

DRAFT IN NEW YORK.

The New York Daily News says, that
"the recent edict promulgated by Pres
ident Lincoln in his communication to
Governor Seymour, has created the most
intense excitement in this community,
who considered they were living under
democratic form Of Government, The
dictatorial spirit in which the President
refuses to concede to the justice OF Gov
ernor Seymour's request to have the
draft suspended until its constitutional
ity can be tested by the courts, has fallen
like bomb-shell among the conserya-
tive men of the city,
The same paper states, that about 49,
900 Federal troops are now in and a.
round the city, composed chiefly OF reg
iments from the New England States,
whose Abolition sentiments are such as
to make them perfectly reliable to carry
out the Radical policy Of the Admins
tration. at is evident, that stirring
events are close at hand. The public
mind is intensely agitated at the threat
ening aspect of affairs, and if the draft is
commenced again in violation of the
protest Of Governor Seymour, a reyolu-
ton is inevitable"

PATRIOTISM OF A COL0RED MAN.

A day or two ago a letter was receiv-
ed at the Treasury Department from a
negro man, named Henry Jones, the
property of M E. Cannon, OF Clarks-
vile, in this State, which is worthy OF
the highest commendation, and justly
entitled to be initiated by those who
have been boarding their treasure du-
ring the troubles which at present affiict
the country. Henry places at the dis
posal OF the Secretary of the Treasury
$465 IL gold, which he hopes will be Of
some service TO the Government. In
his, letter he speaks of "our glorious
cause" and declares that the slaves OF
the South have a deeper interest in the
establishment ofSouthern independence
than the white population. He thinks
if the Yankees are successful the negroes
are destined to the most cruel treatment
at their hands.

1t is stated by the Mobile Tribune
that the Government has made am
pie arrangements to provision the city,
and that private parties are also max
ing arrangements TO get enough of pro-

ADVANCE.

The advance in the costs of publica-
ton and of living has compelled us to
raise the price of subscription to $500
per annEln. We will furnish the paper
for $3.50 per annum to those who will
pay us in wood or produce at the prices
before the war. To this fair proposition
no reasonable man can object. Those
are most apt to complain who demand
the very highest price for what they
may have to sell. The prices of weekly
papers now range from IS to $lo-the
majority charging ST per annum. We
regret the necessity which compels rs
to advance our rates. We would prefer
lower rates if we could possibly make
them meet expenses.

idence that from 10 to Is 20 per cent of deaf mutes

GREETED that we have law forbdding the marriage
of first cousins. These marriages violation of
law of nature, is evidenced by the Affections visited
in almost every upon their offspring in deafness
blindness, and docy; and ought to be violation of
human laws also. The Commonwealth has the clear
ght to protect itself against these unfortunate
matches, whose offspring it has to sustain too fire.

THE YANKEES CAME NOT.


On yesterday week, the military
authorities here received intelligence
that the enemy, in considerable force,
had made their appear ance at Moore
field, the county seat OF Hardy, and
were probably contemplating an attempt
to reach this place. This caused some
excitement here for short time, and
preparations were being made to 'swel-
come them with bloody hands to hospita,
BILE graves" Gen. Imboden moved his
command up the Valley with the view
of keeping it between the enemy and
this place. He came up as far as
Bridgewater, in Rockingham county,
eight miles Southwest of Halrisonburg,
when he learned that theenemy, ifthey
had contemplated raid into this sec
ton, had abandoned the idea for the
present. The enemy seem to have left
portions of their forces at Moorefield,
Martinsburg and other places. We
think it probable that they are station
ing their forces to guard against appre-
hended raids on the part of our troops.
There is no excitement here at this time,
as there seems to be no probability of a
visit by the Yankees. There is no truth
in the statements of the Richmond pa
pers that there were conflicts between
the forces of General Imboden and the
enemy in Brooks Gap on Monday and
Tuesday OF last week. The ''reliable
gentleman On the Central train proved,
as usual, TO be lineal descendant OF
the world renowned Mmchausen. There
was no conflict at any OF the gaps, be-
cause the elemy did not make their APP
pearance at any Of them.
