we believe his electionis certain. And this
opinion is formed from the unerring signs

take twenty or City acres, according to
his ability to pay two-ffths Of the price,
which is fixed ct one dollar and quarter
per acre. The same privilege is also given
to soldiers and sailors. Gen. Saxton Mill
tary Governor Of the Department Of the
South, has called attention to this import
ant matter in special proclamation, in
which he characterizes it a. second only
in its bene6cent results to the Emancipa-

to aid them in selecting and securing their

FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
New York, Feb. 4

NcW LUX, Teo. e.
A special to the Herald dated Head
quarters Department of Western Virginia,
Feb. Sd, says after we drove the enemy
from the bridges yesterday the rebels
commenced rapid retreat, our cavalry
closely following. Slight skirmishing en-
sued. Last night portion of Gen. Sui
liyan's forces, in attempting to cut the
enemy's retreat, encountered large force
of rebels in the Gap near Romney. In
the neighborhood of this Gap fight took
place. We eventually succeeded in COM
pelling the enemy to take another road to
the right.
In this engagement We took a number
OF prisoners. In retreating, the enemy
tried to make juhction with the rebel
forces near Morefeld. 1t is believed
Gen. Sullivan's and Col. Mulligan's COL
umns have formed a junction and are
now pursuing the enemy vigorously. II
the enemy escapes our forces, be certainly
will not tie able to take away any large
portion of his plumber.
The railroad trains arrived on time to-
night. The injury to the bridges was SO
slight that they are SO far repaired AZ to
enable the east and west bound trains to
lesume and continue their regular trips
on time.
The telegraph line was repaired thi.
afternoon.
