WEAR OLD CLOTHES AsSOCIA.

We suggest. as a true test Of loyalty,
that Ill the wealthy ladies and gentlemen
Of this city shall, except on the Sabbath
day, wear their old clothes. This will be
an example which cannot fail to influence
others in wearing old clothes, but who will
not so long as they see their neighbors
dressed Gnely. The money saved in this
way may be given for sanitary purposes or
better enable the poor TO pay the govern

The True Spirit,

The following extract, clipped from
an exchange, gives additional evidence
that the daughters and sons of Old
Augusta, wherever they are found
show the TRUE SPIRIT.
This "Spirited Woman" is to our
manor native born. cold Harry" is
our former townsman, Dewitt G. Har-
ny, known to the old inhabitants as
"Clint." "Clint" has emtliated the
virtue Of his good cid kinsman Samp-
son Eagon, of whom distinguished
representative Of this county in the
Senate of Va, once said, in an cleo
ton for Senator of the U. s. ssMr.
President, | cannot vote for either Of
the candidates. / must 7ote for an
honest man and as MY MOTHER is not
eligible, cast my vote for the next
BEST MAN Sampson Eagon."
A SPIRITED WOMAN. the Yam
KEGS were at Rogersville, Tennessee, short
tins since, they arrested shoemaker who
is we'll known as ''old Harry" and confined
him in the guard house. His wife, as clev-
er and industrious woman as ever lived,
has borne him ten likely sons. The wor-
thy couple have been "pegging away for
many years to raise their children properly,
and hence they have accumulated but little
of this worlds goods. Mrs. Harry called
upon her husband at the guard room where
he was surrounded by the officer of the day
and guard. She, upon seeing her liege
lord, asked, $50 you're in here, are you %
Harry responded afirmatively. "Well,
you're not going to take the oath, are
you p asked she, with flushed cheeks.
"No I've nc notion of it," responded
Harry, with cleuched teeth, and defiant
air. 'Pd rather see your last end-see
you rot first, than hear Of you taking that
oath !; | can take care of the boys" said
Mrs. Harry.
The officer of the day then ordered her
away, telling her that her language was in
sulting to him and his men. Stepping
back with erect form and noble nlien, the
heroic woman shook Ter hand in his face.
and told him that she was raising ten fine
boys to hate and fight such despicable
wretcLes as lie and his men were, to the
bitter eud.

To The Voters OF Augusta County.

General tmboden has been written to and
authorizes US to say that he will a6t be a
candidate for reelection to the Clerkahip Of
your County Court At tie election in May
next We therefore take the liberty Of
nominating for that important position VIM.
Il. Burnett, the efficient and gcntlemanly
deputy who has done nearly all the work Of
the office for the last ten years. VIM. Bur-
nett is SO fa7orably known to the people of
the County that it is hardly necessary to say
anything IN his support, as we presume he
will scarcely have opposition. He was the
principal deputy for several years under Mr..
Kenney-was retained in that position by
the present Clerk when he toek the office in
1858, and since The war, except for few
weeks in the summer of 1862 when he was
in the army, he has in fact been the C2erk,
his principal being in the military service.
During Mr.. Burnetts long connection with
this Office we have never heard complaint
against him as courteous, faithful, hon.
est and diligent public officer.
In the spring Of 1862, when the enemy
was advancing up the Valley he resolved to
join the army, against the protestation of the
Clerk, who was himself in service, and was
in the 9Th Regt., under COL Baylor during
old "Stonewalls'' celebrated campaign
against Banks. Gen. Imboden finding il
was impossible for him to procure shy one
to take Mr.. Burnett's place in the Clerk s
Office who was in all respects qualified to
discharge its duties, found he would either
have to resign and quit the army himself
and take charge Of the Office or procure Mr..
Burnett's return to. it as his deputy.
AS Clerk, being exempt from military
duty himself, he proposed to the War De-
partment to continue in service provided
Mr.. Burnett was discharged and permitted
to take his place in the Clerks office, this
arrangement was agreed to and Mr.. B. re-
turned to the Office at the instance Of his
principal in order that the latter might not
be withdrawn from the field at the very time
he was raising and organizing his present
Command. These facts are derived from
Gen. Imboden and are stated as an act Of
justice to Mr.. Burnett to show that so far
from seeking to avoid, be actually went IN
to the army two years ago, and was taken
from it for the public good, be has hitherto
worked for salary Of moderate amount and
is poorwith a growing family to support,
and having spent his life in Clerks Office
has earned in our judgement d claim to this
Office which no other man possesses. We
Therefore ask him to announce himself a can
didate, assuring him of the cordial support

War News.

From Charleston February End we
learn that the enemy have discontln-
ued firing on Sumter. For several
days previous, tho firing was tremen-
dous, averaging six shots per hour,
and all aimed at the South end OF the
Fort. No casualties, and Nc damage
Ito the Folt.
The firing on the city of Charleston
lstill continues with ilnabated fury.
thus far the city has received very
little damage, and only few Of the
citizens slightly injured.
On the 2bih inst, Maj. Day cap
tured Tazewell East Tennessee with a
number of prisoners and stores Taze-
well is within twelve miles of Cum
berland Gap. Two hundred and six
ty-fve prisoners have arrived at
Lynchbwrg on their way to Richmond
within the past few days captured by
our forces in East Tennessee.
From the Abingdon Yirginian we
learn that Gen. Jones and Gilmer's
command captured foraging party
in Lee county few days ago compri-
sing about 100 prisoners, with their
arms, equipments, horses, mules and
wagons.
From the Dispatch we clip the fol-
loving handsome affair which took
place near Smithfeld Isle Of Wight
county.
On Sunday last a gunboat came up
Pagan-Creek, in Isle Of Wight coun-
ty, and landed twenty-five cavalry,
two pieces of artillery, and one hun
dred and fifty infantry at Snithfeld.
The parties composing this expedition
had instructions to march across the
country to Cherry Grove, on Chucka
tuck creek, and capture the Confed-
crate pickets there. In the meantime
the Yankee gunboat was to go around
and meet the Yankees at Cherry
Grove. At Scott's factory, four OF
five miles from Smithfeld, the inva-
ders were met by about seventy five
Confederate cavalry, when skirmish
ensued, and the Yankees retreated
back to Smithfeld, losing seven pris-
oners. At Smithfeld they were with
out the aid Of their gunboat, it hay
ing gone to Cherry Grove, and our
men, being reinforced, attacked and
captured the whole party, with not a
man hurt of the Confederates, and
four Yankees killed and two or three
wounded. A telegram from Col. Jor-
dan, at Ivor Station, states, in addi-
ton to the above facts, that the gun
boat "smith Briggs" was attacked by
the Confederates at Cherry Grove and
destroyed. A train was sent down
from Petersburg yesterday to bring up
the prisoners, who had arrived at
Broad Water.
The train from Petersburg Tuesday
evening brought in III of these priso-
ners, among whom were five commits
stoned officers. Among them was
negro lieutenant.
From the Rapidan we learn that
the Federal Cavalry made dash into
the town Of Madison G. II. remaining
long enough to capture a few stray
lers and steal about twenty horses.
