in the Counties of Hancock and Washington, have
commenced the manufacture of the same at
ULMER'S STEAM MILL,
and take this method to bring said Machines TO
the notice OF the public.
1t has been tried in our fami les and in many
other families in this village. and in every instance
the result has been most satisfactory, and we con
hlehtIy assert that 1t possesses more of the
requisite qualities of good washing machine
than any other heretofore offered to the public
aud we feel assured that fair triIl of it will
convince any reasonable person that it is vdlu
aoie acquisition to the kitchen on washing days
and having tried it will purchase one.
1t is compact and ligut, occupying no more
room than common wash tub, and can be as
easily handled; it is simple, with no complicated
parts to get out of order, and can be worked by a
boy or cir! with little practice we'll as by an
adult. In washing, single part Of a garment
as the wristband collar of shirt can be washed
without ashing the whele, as all ether Machines
dc, thereby saving the wear of the garment by rub

least, it Is cheap, costing only SIX dollars which
brings it within the reach Of every one having
clothes TO wash
The machines can be seen and examined at the
place OF manufacture, and can be ordered of

AFFAIRS IN THE VALLEY.

At present, all seems quiet in the Valley-the
armies occupying their original positions Au-
thentic intelligence, up to recent date, shows that
Sheridan had not then sent off any important pro-
portion of his army. The Charlottesville Adrocats,
speaking Of the latest movements there, says:
son the morning of the l0th General Early i'd
vaneed from his camp on a general Reconnaissance,
and proceeded nearly TO Newtown, about eight miles
this side Of Winchester He found the enemy in
full force, about five miles in his 'front.' in the neigh
borhood of Kernstown and Bartonsvile. He re-
manned in position this side of Newtown until the
night of the 18th, when he Withdrew. General
Early had learned that some OF Seridan's troops
had been dispatched TO Grant, but found him with
his three corps all i'll hand and occupying fortified
line.
"our cavalry had quite sharp engagement on
the 18th. Rosser, with his old brigade and Wick
hams, was on our let-Payne, with his brigade, on

fortunes of the day on the left more than re-
stored by Wickham's brigade and by Payne's,
which moved up TO Rosser's assistance Our loss
was small. The enemy left between one hundred
and fifty and two hundred prisoners. Wickhams 5

great gallantry. 1t was in this affair, leading a

THE VAR NEWS.

Yesterday the skies were bright and the air COO
and bracing; but still the quiet pervaded the
military lines in front of Petersburg and Richmond
as during the preceding wet weather. Should there
now come freeze, succeeded as it surely would be
by thaw, the campaign against Richmond, SO fal
as any serious and extensive operations are con.
cerned, may be fairly considered as ended; but
even then it is likely that Grant will, with every
temporary return of firm ground, attempt some mi
enterprise
The Yankees have, of late, had nothing to say
about the Dutch Gap canal. At last accounts, But
Ter had only two hundred negroes at work upon it,
and this small force of laborers was prevented by
our batteries from doing full work. We feel pretty
confident that this enterprise will not be completed
In time for the canal to be used before next spring
or summer. If we right in this conclusion, the
great Yankee fleet recently collected in Hampton
ROADS was not destined, has been conjectured, to
operate against Richmond but was brought to-
Sether either for an attack on Wilmington or to
succor Sherman when he shall have marched across
the State OF Georgia. The Yankee papers say the
navy has been for long tine ready to attack Will
minston, and only waited .,r the cooperation of
the land forces; and the Louisville Journal has told
US that Sherman, after devastating Georgia. will ex
change signals with Commodore Porter on the At.
lantic coast.
Before taking leave of Grant sarmy, we win state
'nat soldiers, just from Colonel Mosby's command,
assure US that the Eighth Yankee corps is still in
the valley and that organized force has left She
ridans army to reinforce Grant.
