This gallant young gentlemen at the breaking

Volunteer in the 9Th Va Regt. Stonewall Brigade,
and during the FIRST year of the war known as one
Of the bravest and most Jealous Soldiers in that

conduct attracted the attention and commanded
admiration of all his comrades, officers and men. =
He was subsequently transferred to Imboden's
(now Garber's) battery, in which he served to the
time of his death. It would be simply an enumer-
alton of all the great battles fought by jackson
and the army Of orthern Virginia from May 1862
to the fall of 1864, to recount the engagements in
which he bore a part. On every occasion lis cool
ness and intrepidity were SO marked and conspicu.
GUS to win the praise Of all who were assosa ted
with him. During the seven days battle around Rich
mond he was wounded and sent to the rear, but
his indonitable spirit oyercame the pain of his
wounded person, and ina brief hour he resumed
his place in the front, where he remained till the
Yankee hordes were driven to tins cover of Their
Gun Boats.
In this community wherche was born and raised
it would DE work of supererogaton to attempt
to enumerate his many virtues. From his earliest

BUSINESS IN RICHMOND has revived to a
lively degree under the inspiration impaired
by the presence in the city of so many
thousand strangers, knapsack and saddle
bag" men, all having important business at
Camp Lee and General Lees army. The
ho;els are full Of them, the theatre over
flows with them nightly, and they are to be
met with everywhere on the street, in the
restaurant, in the daguerrean gallery in the
shop, imparting briskness to trade and
dispensing their '.shucks" with liberality
that is refreshing. Next to trade the army
will be effected by this new awakening,
and useless" Grant will soon feel shock
that will make him think he has come in
contact with an electrick eel Of enormous
proportions. Examiner.

but in con sequence of the great damage done to

that this County is the first County west of the

The man who croaks for the stoppage Of
the wal on our part without correspon-
ding disposition on the part Of the enemy
to stop it is not only an enemy to his coun-
try but an enemy to himself. If he would
save his property and himself from beggary
and vagbondism, it is his duty to aid and
strengthen the arms of his government by
every means 10 his power. He only pre-
cipitates the evil day by his croaking. and
will curse himself for his folly when that
evil day comes. No; if We would save
our property, our liberty and ourselves
from ruin, we must, as did the Spaniards
during the French invasion, rise up en-
masse and drive the enemy from our soil.

We have received but little news
from any quarter during the past
week. 1t has been perfectly quie. on
both the North and South side Oh
James River, and no signs are visible
Of an immediate advance, on the part
Of the enemy.
The latest news from Genl. Hoods
army in Northern Georgia, which we
CLEAN from the papers of that State,
is that the enemy is marching UP
the line of the Chattanooga and At
lanta r. Road, but had not up to the
18th been able to interfere with oul
operations. Our army is said to be
at point not far from Chattanooga,
in the finest possible spirits and con-
dition.
Nothing has occurred in the Valley
since the battle of the 10Th at Cedar
Creek, a detailed account Of which
will be found in another column.
P. S.-Since writing the foregoing
we hear report which appears to be
we'll authenticated that Gen. Lomax
on Tuesday last, met and routed a
portion of the Yankee Cavalry in the
Luray Valley, driv ng them some dis
lance and capturing some prisoners.
