yIRGINIANs AT VICKsBURG.

Major General G. L. Stevenson, in command
there, is Virginian, and so are Major General
Marry, and Brigadier Generals Barton and Rey-
nolds, all intrusted with important commands at
Vicksburg. 1t is a little remarkable that Gem
erals Stevenson, Maury and Barton are all natives
of renowned little Fredericksburg. Many of the
staff officers of these generals also Virginians
Nor is our old State unrepresented among the
troops congregated there. She has there one
single organization-a fine battery of light artil-
lery, belonging to Barton's Brigade, and Steven
sons division of Kirby Smiths old corps, now
known as s'Botetourt Artillery, Virginia Volun-
teers,'' but until recently as ssAnderson's Bat
terry" This battery of six splendid bronze guns
is now commanded by Captain John W. Johnson,
its former captain, Joseph W. Anderson, having
been recently promoted to chief of Artillery of
General Stevenson's original division, with the
rank of major. It is mentioned as rather re-
markable fact that among the troops at Vicks-
burg every State in the Confederacy is repre-
sented, and that their homes range all the way
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande

THE IMPRESSMENT BILL.

Some time since we published the impressment
bill as it passed Congress. Since then the fol-
lowing act amendatory of that bill has been a.
dopted:
'sSec. 1. In all cases of appraisement provid-
ed for in said act, the officer impressing the pro-
perty shall, if he believe the appraisement fair
and just, endorse upon it his approval if not,
he shall endorse upon it his reasons for refusing,
and deliver the same with receipt for the pro-
perty impressed, to the owner, his agent OF at
torney, and so soon as practicable forward a
copy OF the receipt and appraisement, and his
endorsement, to the head of the Department
having charge Of the species of property taken,
and when such appraisement and valuation is
approved by the officer taking the property, the
claim shall be referred to the board of appraisers
appointed by the President and the Governor of
the State, who shall revise the same, and make
final valuation, so as to give just compensation
for the property taken, which valuation shall be
paid by the proper Department for use of which
the property was taken, on the certificate of the
appraisers, as provided in the act of which this
is ameldatory.

CAMP WINDER, 5TH VA. INF,

April Is, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR There was meeting held in our
regiment this evening, for the purpose of nomi-
mating candidate to represent the people of the
11th Congressional District in the next Confede-
rate States Congress. Maj. J. W. Newton was
elected Chairman, and Capt Lycurgus Grills ap-
pointed Secretary.
The names of Coils. VIM. Fl. Harman and J. B
Baldwin were both brought before the meeting,
and as the latter gentleman was completely and
forever demolished, it is nothing more than due
that his friends in Augusta, land the Districtfgen-
orally, should be apprised of the fact. 1t is to
be hoped they will condole with and comfort him
in his sad misfortune.
M. Walter Montero, young s'twig ofthe law''
from Albemare county, was the chosen champ
ion, who accomplished this wonderful strategic
movement; it was done by thanking operation,
with which il is presumed Mr.. M. is well ac-
quanted. His speech was grand-one of the
real old fashioned cross-road school house kind,
of about ten or fifteen minutes length. He was
very severe on Col. B. ,and lauded Col. Ii. to the
skies for his galantry and patrlotlsm--encirc!lng
his brow with greener laurels than any ever warn
by Napoleon. He attempted to point out and
critcise all the actions of Col. B.. but neglected
to inform the meeting OF Col. HIS employment
since he retired from the army.
l am not prepared to discuss the merits of Ell
ther of the gentlemen, but being free to choose
between them I infinitely prefer Col. B. Let the
people at the polls decide as to the fitness of the
man for the place without the aid and epithetica
speeches of one-horse politicians. They are
more capable of rendering correct decision
than those who attempt to decide for them.
had hoped that the difficulties and trouble!
which are now sweeping over and desolating ou
land, would cause all to forget the tricks and in
| trigues of former days, when the government
had become rotten to the core. When our lanC
is being drenched in the blood of our mobiles
and bravest men, it is painful to see little pet
ty stump speaker put up to villify an experienc
ed, intelligent and eloquent gentleman of who's
character and qualifications he knows nothing
Let the candidates stand upon their merits AM

SUPPLIES.

Government credit is better, prices of neces-
saries are lower. The tide has changed, and
let US hope permanently. Every citizen ought
to exert his influence to make it so. 1t must be
poor satisfaction to man to get an excessive
price for his produce when he knows that his
country and his Government must suffer to the
extent OF the gain to him beyond a reasona BILE
and fair compensation for the results of his labor
Wealth built up in this way must be unsubstan-
ta and Heeting, if there is any truth in morality
~or religion. The wise man should not desire it :.
All should, combine to bring back the country
and commsrce to rational basis and healthy
condltlon-one in which we may live and let live
in which the interests of people and Govern
ment may be best protected, and, above all, the
highest efficiency and success be impaired to the
national cause, on which depends our only hope
tor independence and every blessing it insures.-

How OLD SMITH ESCAPED. -ssOld Smith, an
old German drummer in the 10Th Mississippi
regiment, was notorious for struggling on the
march whether advancing or retreating, he was
always in the rear.
In General Jackson's great retreat from the
valley OF the Shenandoah, after whipping Banks,
old Smith got some miles behind, and while sit
ting on the road side, solitary and alone resting
and eating his beef and biscuit, he observed a

And joy be thine own.
