FROM RocKBRIDGE.

We learn from private letter, received yesterday,
that Hunters force after burning the Military Institute
a. Lexington, and perpstratng all manner of vanda-
ism, upon private we'll public properly proceeded
through Rockbridge seizng provisions and stock and
destroying what they could not uso They burned the
valuable Busna Vista furnace belonging to Samuel F.
Jordan Esq situated (he ROckbrdge) South river,
tributary Of North river They also destroyed 1000
bushels of corn the property Of the same gentleman
They next visited tie farm Of Col Shields far fOm
the Furnace, and corfscated bis corn and proYeuder
They seemed perfectly aware of tie antecedents and
present position of the proprietor as they are sup
pOse, Of every prominent gentleman civil or military,
in the Commonwealth.
Such of the citizens as took refuge in the mountains
were pursued, and, when overtaken, robbed of their
provisions and horse and their wagons either burned
or brokenup They acted in similar in all the
counties through which they passed. until hard pressed
by troops upon their retreat when, to save their
vile carcases, they ceased their work OF plundOr and
destruction. In Roanoke, this was particularly the
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1864-06-25

We commend this proposition to the careful resdir
of members Of the Council esprcielly.

tested evident alarm and drove down Main street two
wagons abreast the drivers looking right and LEFT for
some one to attack them. They passed on without
hapg and could not have overtaken the advance until
they had gotten near to Lexington. The citizens OF

attack them believing they could have been easily cap

These Machines make tho lock-stitch
alike on both sides, and use less than half
the thread and silk that the single or
double thread loop-stich Machines do;
will Hem, Fell, Gather, Cord, Braid,
Bind, &c, and are better adapted than
any other Sewing Machine in use to the
frequent changes and great variety of
sewing required in family, for they will
sew from one to twenty thicknesses of
Marseilles without stopping, and make
every stitch perfect, or from the finest
gauze to the heaviest beaver cloth, or
even the stoutest harness leather, without
changing the feed, needle, or tension, or
making any adjustment of Machine what
ever
They are simple in construction, and
easily understood; and if any part is
broken by accident, it is readily replaced.
These are peculiar facts, and will go
