Gen. H. B Davidson formerly
Commandant of this Post who has
been sojourning in our town for the
past few days, left on Tuesday last in
obedience to, orders, to report to Gen
Early. Gen. D. commanded a Divis-
ion Of Cavalry in the army Of Ten
nessee, and was highly complilnented
for his gallant conduct at the battle
of Chickamauga and also with Gen
Wheeler during his operations in the
rear Of Chattanooga. We doubt not
from his past history that additional
honors await him in the new field as
signed him in the Valley Of the shen-
andoah.

REiRIBUTIGN WILL CONE.

In the recent temporary occupation
of the Valley of Virginia the enemy
again exhibited that malignant malice
whish characterized the invasion of
lfur.tev. Then the outcry was against
Hunter, as worse than Butler the
Beast. in which, so detestable was his
course, that Northern journals joined
and reiterated the cry, but condemned
no one superior to the commander OF
the expedition. Then our provisions
were taken, a few mills burned, and a
few houses plundered, but the order of
Grant roqnired Sheridan to burn Larns,
wheat and hay -stacks, to drive off or
kill all live stock and to carry off the
negroes-in fact to make the Valley
a abarren waste" How well his aid
has accomplished she. fell design OF
his superior is already known to many
of our readers. All that he could do,
after the reception of the order OF
Grant, and in the haste with which
he made a retrograde movement on &C
count Of the near approach Of Early,
he did, being far more than Hunter
with his licensed crew did in the en-
tire length of the Valley, yet we heal
not word from the North condem-
natory of the vile acts of Gen. Grant
through his accomplice Sheridan.
This war has been declared by the
Yankee Administration to have been
commenced against those in arms
against the Government of the Uni
ted States. But now Grant, wcaried
and sick of fighting the veterans OF
Lee with no avail, has turned his arms
against the women and children OF
our land, hoping, doubtless, that he
may gain a glorious victory % over
them, a result already discovered by
him impossible to be attained yerthe
former.
The destruction in the Valley ef-
fects the inhabitants seriously, espe-
cially the poor, but none others, sure
ly not the army here, for it can draw
it's supplies from other equally plen-
teous sources and WILL, regardless o.
this destruction, be amply supplied
1T wilITnot cause the withdrawal Of
the arnay Of the Valley, nor will II
cease on this account to menace the
capital of our enemy. Hence the des-
truction Of property here was to re-
duce to the last extremity the non
combatants of this region as it must
have been evident to Barbarian Grant
that they. alone could be effected by
it. These facts will be treasured uI
by the fathers, husbands, brothers and
sons Of these who were desired to bt
placed in destitute condition by The
wholesale destruction Of their proper
ty and they will some day have retribu
ton. Let not the North then. cry GU
Chat Southern Barbarians are letloos'
upon them, but remember that we cal
point to the campaigns in the Vale!
of the Shenandoah for precedents fo
all the acts our soldiery may commit
and full offset to which will be nee
essary to make retribution Justice.

y thousand conscript Virginians under the
recent order revoking details throu ghout
the State and the Confederate States, has
imposed duty upon the two medical ex-
aiming boards, sitting at the Camp Of In
struction (Camp-Lee that could not have
been discharged by the ordinary process Of
individual personal examination in an hun
dred days. About thirty is the utmost
number of such examinations that can be
made daily, and thus in the present urgent
emergency and demand for men to fill up
the ranks of the army. the winter would be
gone and Richmond and Virginia lost prob
ably before the medical examinations could
be completed and the new leyies sent to
the front. This state Of the case was be-
coming matter Of serious embarrassment
to the authorities, when Colonel Shields
struck upon happy idea, which being
promulgated, met with great favour among
the detailed men, most of whom, though
entitled to an examination, expressed a
willingness to forego it and enter the army
at once, if General Lee was in pressing
need Of their services.
On Sunday, while the recruits were as
sembled, Colonel Shields addressed them
on the subject, more in elaboration and de.
tail than we have given it here. He prom
ised to have them assigned Immediately &c
Virginia regiments, from the First regiment
up to the sixty-frst, if they would waive
their right to an examination before the
medical board, where very few would have
chance of rejection. General Lee, he
said, was in want Of stout hearted Virgin.
ians like ITEM wanted them just now, and
perhaps the fate Of Richmond and Virgini;
rests with their decision.
Attic conclusion Of Colonel Shields re-
marks Judge Moore member of Cong es,
from Kentucky addressed the Virginianl
in stirring streins. Virginia had never vel
falteredtnor taken. one backward step il
this struggle, and he knew none of he1
sons would be recreant in this hour of bel
need and trial: when the last great strug
gle for liberty and independence was 5,
nigh at hand.
At the conclusion Of Judge Mooro's re
marks more than thousand Of the Vir
ginians volunteered to enter the ranks i'm
mediately, waving medical examination
and their resolve was greeted with lout
cheers of applause and appreciation. /
is thought hat the majority of the remain

Of their brothers, and stand not upon th

WAR NEWS.

We learn from the Express that
the situation on the Petersburg line
remains unchanged. The enemy at
no point, on that line show any dis
position at present to make move.
1t is the opinion Of those best in
formed on the subject, that Grant is
evidently awaiting the result of his
operations OIL the North side of the
James before he makes an attack here.
On the North Side all has been
quiet since the affair Of the Goth, and
at present there appears no immediate
prospect Of fight. 1t is considered
doubtful, whether Grant intends to
assault our new lines-at least not
until h. can bring up his feet and as
sault Drury's Bluff at the same time.
We learn through the Richmond
papers, that the news from Georgia,
is indeed very pleasant. Gen. Hoods
movement in the rear of Sherman has
so far proved successful. An official
dispatch, received at the War Depart
ment on Wednesday states that Gen.
Hoods forces have destroyed the Wes-
tern and Atlantic Rail Road from Re
SAGA to Tunntl Hill and a portion Of
the Cleveland road, capturing Dalton,
and all intermediate garrisons, with
stores, arms, and equipments, and
about one thousand prisoners. On
the 18th Hood was at point not far
from Chattanooga the precise local
ity not given. Southern papers state
that Atlanta. is, closely invested by our
cavalry, our piclSets being within one
and alfalf nliles-of the city. A gens
eral engagement between Hood and
Sherman has been anticipated, but the
impression now prevails that Sherman
in due season will be whipped by
strategy, without general engage
ment.
From Gen. Yanghn's official dis
patch dated the 18th we learn that he
met the enemy on that day, at Green
vile, killed and wounded many, cap
tured two stands Of colors-many
horses, small arms, some prisoners, and
still in pursuit.
The st. Louis papers owing. to. the
operations Of Gen. Price give a
gloomy account of affairs in Missouri,
stating that they are decidedly worse
than they have been at any time since
the beginning Of the war, and some
of them openly advocates the ADAM
donment Of Arkansas to save Missouri.
Gen. Price has received large Access
sions to his command, numbering in
the aggregate $4,000 Cavalry, and
nineteen pieces Of artillery. At last
accounts he is reported, at Booneville,
ffty-two miles north Of Jefferson City
on the Missouri river
From the lower Valley we learn
from gentleman who Just received a
dispatch from New Market, that Gen.
Early on Wednesday morning at
tackled Sheridan at or near Cedar
Greek, and whipped him. No partic-
ulars given.
The lndetategable and Ubiquitous Col
Mosby has, been heard from in the follow
ing official dispatch from Genl. Lee.
