Speaking for Virginia, the Richmond Dispatch
says:
Reyerses in. the field, the slaughter Of her,
young men, the affection carried home to; near
ly every family within her borders the loss of
property. the desolation Of whole districts, the
fury of a war unparalleled in dimensions and
ferocity, have produced in her no change or
shadow of turning. She thinks no more of
giving up the day after defeat than she does
the day after victory. Other States no
doubt, entertain the same sentiments and reso-
luton.

slant:
Griffin is now an outpost All trains from

We have nothing from Hoods army of a very
authentic nature, except that twas on the march
beyond the Chattaheochee when last seen. 1
feel no apprehension about its reaching Blue
Mountain in safety. Last night, Sherman
despatched a considerable cavalry force down
the right bank of the Chattahoochee, for the
purpose, as is supposed, of developing our po-
sltion. But it is certain that up to that time
ntoSgeneral movement of his army had taken
place. We feel certain that he was as unpre-
pared for this bold movement, as he is unable
to prevent it. l base the latter portion of that
sentence upon the we'll authenticated fact that

Every eyewitness agrees that no one of his
teams can have enoug gh for its own subsistence,

A STRANGE SpEcTAots.-0ur community
was considerably stirred up yesterday evening
at seeing Charles Arnold, son of Mr.. j. D.
Arnold, marched through our streets in female
apparel, accompanied by guard. He was
arrested, we learn, at Albany, Ca, day or two
ago. He left this city some time since to
avoid conscription, and it is presumed he has
been passing off as female in parts of the
country where be is not known. 1t is indeed
q serious difficulty, and we doubt not it is ow-
ing in great measure to the misguided effec-
ton Of his parents. We trust, should he get
out Of this disgraceful affair, that he will go
forward and prove himself man, and in some
degree retrieve the bad name he has thus in
curred.-Co1sm6us Enq.

BUYING FLoUH.-It is about as difficult a
job. to buy good -four as to buy good horse.
Let us tell you how to go to work with it.
First, look at color ifit is white, with a
slightly yellowish or straw.colored tint, buy it.
If it is very white, with BLUSH cast, or with
black speeks in it, refuse it. Second, examine
the adhesiveness, wet and knead little of it
between your fingers: if it works soft and is
sticky, it is poor. Flour from spring wheat
is likely to be sticky. Third, throw lump
of dry -four against dry, smooth, perpendic-
ular surface II it falls like powder, it is bad.
Fourth, squeeze some of the -four in your hand;
if it retained the shape given by the pressure,
this too is good sign. Flour that will stand
all these tests is safe to buy.

The FINAL STRUGGLE.--The Richmond Ex-
aminer considers that the final struggle for
the possession of Ricbmaud and of Virginia
is now near. The war is drawing to close,
and if we hold Richmond till the first of No.
vcmber, it will be ours for evermore. This
renewed effort on the part of the enemy is due,
the Examiner thinks, to Sherman's triumph
in Georgia, which compels Grant 10 match it
or sink into insignifcance.

Athens is the county seat of Limestone
county, Alabama one huadred and ffty.four
miles north by east from Tuscaloosa, ore hun.
dred and niuety-six north of Montgomery and
about twenty northwest from Huntsville.
Limestone county borders on the Tennessee
line, and is therefore in the rear of Sheraan's s
army. Athens Is considered by Sherman
a most important position and hence the
strong garrison stationed there. The Central
Soutberu railroad, which unites Nashville with
the Memphis and Charleston railroad, passes
through the place, and its occupation by our
forces therefore sewers one of Shernan's line
of communication.
