"GI oRIOUs OLD VIRGINIA We think

TO endure the same horrors. The extract is

NEW YoHK, Nov. ll.-Some of the Rich'

JEFF Davis message, and charge him with
obscurity in those portions of it referring
to the arming of slaves, and the interior
ence with the press.
The public debt is stated at 81 ,l47 $780,

army debts.
Davis pronounces Sherman, Grant aud
Banks all failures, and declares that ATTAIN
IA and Richmond are not vital points. The
fall of Richmond, Wilmington, Charleston,
Savannah aud Mobile, could not conquer
the Confederacy. The independence of the
Coufederacy alone will secure peace.

that section of country in great state of
alarm and excitement. Wayne and the
adjoining counties have been almost en-
tirely abandoned to the rebels, who roam
abroad. killing and plundering at pleas
ure. The Union people have all fed to
Ohio and Kentucky. On Tuesday last
about forty of these refugees, who have
been living in Catlettsburg, armed them
selves, went to Ceredo, the county seat of
Wayne, opened the polls and invited the
people to vote. seventy-votes were cast
for Lincoln aud none for Mcclellan.
On last Saturday night Wicher's gang
captured and destroyed two boats belong.
ing to the government near the forks Of
sap6y. The boats had been taken up
the river by Gen. Burbridge, but got
aground. A few days before the same
gang captured government boat few
miles above the mouth of Big Sandy. They
took few soldiers as prisoners, plundered
the boat and then let her go.

Is now thought we're designed principally
TO procure cattle and other supplies Of
which they stand much in need, and not
for. the purpose of attempting to flank
the Union army.
General POwoll's division of cavalry

An expedition sent out q few days ago
sscertained that the rebels still occupy
their entreDched works, and remain in
considerable force in the vicinity of Mil

West Virginia on election day, were com
pletely frustrated by the movement of
