From THE FIRST VIRGINIA.-We were
asst evening shown letter from gentle
man connected with the First Virginia, Civ
ing a complete review of their rambles from
the time they left Petersburg, until their
return. The regiment marched sixty-fve
miles in four days, bringing them to MDow-
ell. Here they met with some resistance,
and slight skirmshing, but no casualties
The Confederates broke for Staunton. AT
ter remaining three days, the regiment left
M'Dowel and fell back to Grab Bottom
This was the hardest march the regiment
has had, the weather being wet and cold,
and the roads very muddy. The writer
says: "We have heard that Longstreet is
back in Virginia, that he has joined Lee,
and was coming down the Valley. If it i;
so, I'VE will have to get out Of here; but
doubt the report"

The New YEAR.-Another epoch of the
Isorld's hisbry closed with the last stroke
/ t midngh's hour. And most eventful
one it has jeen, in whatever aspect we view
ul-whetlHr as to our own nation or the
sorld at hrge. We do not propose, how
ever, to 1--WE review of the past year, bat
merely t, suggest thought or two appro-
nriate 10 such an occasion.
No one ought to be unmindful of the state
Of his country on this day, No one ought
TO forget that great issues may be decided
ere the close of this, the New Year, both
civil and military. Many apoor fellow cit
|izeu will probably be sleeping on cold
mountain side, or find his last resting place
oo the banks of some beautiful river, ere
the close of 1864. Much as we may now
6eplore such things, we may see the time
when we shall discover that this deluge of
blood was necessary for our publication,
aud to the better establishment of that lib
erty which our fathers fought to plant
among us.
4 But should we not also bear in mind on
such day as this that another year of our
life is gone forever--that another wave of
time has reeeded into the ocean of eternity?
And as the merchant this day consults his
ledger, as the index of his business affairs.
or the mechanic thinks of the relation be-
tween supply and demand of labor, and the
farmer of the same relation as to the pro-
ceeds of the farm, should not each one
think also of his higher interests
Weare accustomed upon this, ''the worlds
holiday" to have joyful meetings at our
6resides, to give and receive tokens of re
gard, to wish "Happy New Year" to all
our friends, etc., and these things are Ger
tainly appropriate, if the joy is occasoned
by fee ling Of thankfulness for prosperity
enjoyed and bright prospects anticipated.
Let us not forget the poor among us to day,
and while our own hearts may be over
flowing with joy, let US communicate it to
all within our reach.
As this is leap-year, there are certain priv
ileges supposed to be accorded to the ladies,

which we stated last week was on the road
to Boise City, passed through here to-day
en- uroute for its old quarters at Lewiston.
The publisher, when he left Lewiston, was
unaware that paper had been established
at Boise City, aud upon learning the fact,
I've think wisely concluded that Boise City
was no place for two papers. 1t is rumored,
though, that the new Governor promised to
right the wrongs done him by his party at
Lewiston, under the lead of Wallace, Dan
iels 4 Co., and re-appoint him to the office
of Territorial Printer. If this be so, we
congratulate him upon the fact, but would
admOnsh him, if he intends to run with
the Unconditional" hereafter to make his
agreements with them conditional without
the "un;" for their black and white poll
tics won't legalize verbal agreements, and
their course in Idaho proves them to be a
most unconditional" set of liars, forgers,
