As far as heard from, affairs in Virginia remain
in a great measure unchanged. Since GRANTS
Tremendous mining exploit Of the goth July, on
which occasion he lost five thousand men and
gained no advantage whatever. lie has bean
unusually quiet. During the past week, Gen.
LEE has astouishcd and horriied the Yankees by
appearing On their lines us q sapper. and miner.
Good thst--and promising For the present,
GRANT must be satisfied to retain his present Po-
<ition; thcro appears little likelihood of his
ability to do more In Georgia, the valiant and
ubiquitous raiders have been summarily laid by
the heels, and their doughty leader, Gen; SroNE-
Ian, sent to repent at leisure in the delightful
PRISON at Andcrsonville. EARLY and BREcKIS-
RIDGE arc still operating on eithGr side of the
upper Potomac, and doing, wherever they 60, u
gsod work. In tho. Western or mountain coun-
ties of North Carolina, the Tories, Yankees and
deser!crs arc still committing deprcdatons, but
their apostle, the.arch-,raitor Holden, has been
ANONYMOUSLY defeated in the late subernatorial
election, and now, most probably, they will cease
their nefarious operations. The energetic and
patriotic VAxcE.is elected Governor Of North
Carolina. Our prospects are brisht-nnd ever

We have been requested to publish the sub-
joined, letter, written to gentleman in this Dis
tric, by two gallant young soldiers of tho Army
Of Tennesscc.-Ep. Adv.
My DEAR FRiESp.-We are panied to lear
that the people of EdgeGeld are indulging in
parties and hilarity, and we sincerely hope from
this day, they will cease 10 do SO. We ought to
watch like good servants the coming of onr Mas
ter, and follow his precepts, rs taught by Him
in individual ms we'll as in national aflictiors.
While we areebattling for our rights, and stand
ing MS living wall between the Nosthern inva-
ders and our Southern homes, it seems thai our
friends behind US, instead of imploring the mercy
Of our Maker in our behalf, have given them
selves Up to Eli kinds of hilarty and gain, and for
gotten the great responsibilities resting upon
them. If some of our kind friends would for one
moment turn to the word of God and see what it
says, in oath ch IS and 80 verses of St. Matthew;
"For as in the days that were before the flood,
they we're eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage until the day that Noah en-
tered into the ark, and knew not until the flood
came, and took, them all away: So shall also the
coming of the Son Of man be-"
So it is with great many of the people of our
dear Confedcracy, negecting to offer their hum.
Sie prayer for the suffering soldiers that are now
in the field. We humsy trust that these few w,mords
may sink doep into their hearts, andthat all of
the people throughout the Confederate States, is
our prayer.

Very Interesting Extract.

Lieut. JEnU BURT, the gallant and youthful
leader of Co. A, ed 8. c. ", writes his father
DR.. WM. BURT, q long and graphic letter con.
ccrning GRANTS. great mining operation neal
Petersburg on the seth July. On this occasion
the 22d was we'll nigh cxterminated. Co. A. (an
EdseGeld Company and its brave young Lieu
tenant seem to have made IN almost miraculous
escape AS will be seen from this extract, our
tovnsmnr, Capt. MCPHERSON WRIGHT (of Co. f.
was Mt the time on detached service-and was
thus spared the sad fate death, wounds, captiri-
ty) which bcfcll his Company:
"0ur loss has been heavy, but that Of tho cne-
my must far exceed ours. In the blowing up;
George Lake, pnd his cousin Lieut.. VIM. Lake,
were partially covered UP, butthe cncmy, as soon
rs they took tho works, released them. Geo. Lake
was not much injured, and he, with very nearly
all of Company C, was captured and Immediate
ly marched to the rear. Lieut. W. Lake was so
badly injured by being bruised and mashed up
that h, could not walk, and consequently was left
by the enemy, retaken by our men and brought
to the rear Ho has since been carried to Hospi-
tai.
"Durpg the fight John r. Alton, Sergt Co. A,
and Private Go. Coleman were killed. Corpl.
R. T. Dean wounded severely, but OF dangerous
ly, in the lsg Mahlon W. mt slightly in the I'm
ger; and John Bryant s .Iy, but where am
not ablo to learn. There are now only about
forty-eight men in the Regiment, and am the
senior officer present. But am of the opinion
that there arc forty or fifty more who will come
in soon. Capt. Mack Wright, of Co. X, was on
detailed service and not in the trenches; conse-
lucutly he did not meet the terrible fate which
befcll bis Company.
"Last night our Brigade was re-assemblel end
now lie on the left Of where this battery once
stood. Mahone's Brigade occupies now the posi-
ton onco occupied by tho 18th, o2d and 23d.
"Col. Fleming (of the 22a) Was asleep in his
bomb-proof when tho explosion occurred, and has
not been heard of since; tho bomb-proof in which
lie was asleep is now covered with about twenty
feet of earth, and our. only presumption is that
he too, like so many Of our bravo men. has been
buried alive in the heaps of Garth and rubbish.
"At tile beginning of the fight, Con. Elliott,
commanding brigade, received severe wound
which is thought will provo mortal. Col, Smith
of the 26th S. C. was painfully wouadcd in shoul
der. A largo number of valuable oficera, and no
less gallant and bravo men, have been lost to us
but the loss which We haze inflicted on theeneny
ri;l in part compensate I learn that eight or
nine hundred prisoners have been carried to tho
rear, with come fourteen stand Of cOlors.
!: had almost forgotten to state that great
portion of tine troops confronting US were Negro
troops, who, as they mounted our breastworka
shouted out "No quarter for rebcls.u Their
finale was an almost total destruction. About 100
were captured, and the works we're filled With
their dead and wounded. Great numbers of them
now lie in front Of our works, killed or wounded

Well .Merited Compliment.

Our gallant young townsmnn, Capt. JACOB
YorxosLooD, of the lst' Regt. Of Regulars, now
on sMlvans Island, has been detached from said
Regiment and ordered to Charleston tsJnke COM
mand of the hig Blulicly Ghn--oue of those mon;
star pieces Of ordnance which arrived in the city
about a year ago. twill be remembered that
one Of them, while being experimental with i'm
,nediatcly after its arrival, bursted and became
unavailable. Ogr friend, Capt. Y. is called to
the command of the sarsiror. OF the exact loca-
ton of the Battery We are not informed. This
is distinguished cOMRliment-but profoundly
we'll .merited one-.o bravo and ever-vigilant
soldier wbo has been continuously in service
since the fall of lS0O-with his armor on since
the very beginning. Capt. Y. takes with him to
his new post, Lieutenant and thirty five picked
men of his Regiment. We earnestly wish ho
could blow 10, 600 Internal Yankees to hi every
moment in the day. We know too that he will,
if a good chance offers.
