Hardy county, Va. Our forces who made these
captures were under the command of Gems. Fitz-

in church in Hardy county
1t is said that about 1000 Yankees were at

THE YANKEES IN TENNESSEE.

The Federals are pursuing most barbarous and
inhuman course in those sections of Tennessee un-
der their tyrannical rule. A gentleman just from
Smith County report things in very deplorable
condition in that section. According TO q corres-

lian by the name OF Black ekburn,--formerly stage

about two hundred cut-throats who range through
Davidson, Wilson, Summer and Dekalb counties,
robbing, pillaging and numbering in q manner that

A SPECIMEN ABOLITIONIsT,

A New York correspondent of the Hartford
Times narrates an incident which we'll illustrates
the contemplate spirit of most of the Northern
Abolitioniss-a spirit that would prompt man
TO rob friend, while protesting to do him favor
Here is the affair the Times correspondent speaks
of:
Many years ago, thoroughly imbued with the
doctrines of Abolitionism, an individual graduated
from Yale College, and studied for the ministry,
into which he was in time admitted. During the
first year of his priestly life he ofciated as can
didate al various churches in Connecticut andNew
York, but received no call from any source till he
introduced his anti-slavery Bible doctrine to a
small society in the eastern part of Massachusetts,
Here he was appreciated here be settled L preach
ed the doctrine of Calvin and Abolition for nearly
four years. At length, finding his sheep were
scattering, he suddenly taken with Southern
Gnstead of European) fever, resigned his charge
and went South to the climate of the plantations
of Georgia. While here he became acquainted
with the daughter of wealthy planter, and in the
course of few months married her.
The noble hearted Georgian gave his daughter,
as her marriage portion, fine plantation on the
Savannah river, and 400 slaves, where the happy
couple lived surrounded by fruits, flowers, willing
and affectionate servants, and every enjoyment
that heart could wish, for three years At the
end of that time, they mutually agreed to dispose
of their property, and remove to New York. The
slaves were accordingly sold at the highest market
prices, and the plantation itself was bought by
South Caroliniaa, at high figure, and the couple,
with their gold, were soon on their way to this ci
ty. On their arrival here, the money was invest
ed in city and bank stocks (and is still paying
handsome dividends.) After time, our young
STAKEHOLDER received and accepted call from one of
our town churches, where he may be heard every
Sabbath denouncing the sin of slavery as the
greatest of sins, and the traffic in human flesh
sin which 'thell alone can blot out" oh, the
times, &c.

Nassau, New Providence, is becoming more and
more Interesting to our people, as being now our
almost only medium of communicating with the
outer world Most of our blockade runners hail
from that port and it has become the depot of al
most every thing designed for the Confederate

ton of the place:
"The climate here is somewhat fckle though
never very cold. When we arrived linen suits
were on the majority, and even now, they.are worn
by many. No fire places stoves in any rooms
or places of business-all depend upon the Solar
Lamp, except for cooking purposes. Oranges,
lemons, bananas, cocoanuts, almonds, &e., grow
wild. Except-in yards about residences, gener-

A REAL HERo.-A young man named Saml
Davis, Confederate scout of Gen. Coleman's com.
mand, was recently arrested by the yankees within
dispatches and mail matter. He was tried and
condemned to be hung as spy by the yam
KEGS at Pulaski, Tenn. A yankee paper gives
the following account of his execution:
CAT 10 o'clock A. NJ the prisoner was taken
from his cell, his hands tied behind him, and, ac-
companied by the chaplain of the 81st Ohio was
placed in a wagon, seated upon his coffin, and con.
veyed to the scaffold. The prisoner stepped from
the wagon and seated himself upon bench at the
foot of the scatfold. He displayed great frmness
glancing casually at his coffin it was taken from
the wagon. Turning to Capt. Armstrong, he in
quired how long he had to live; and was told thst
he had just fifteen minutes; he then remarked,
alone"
Capt Armstrong-"I I am sorry to be compelled
to perform this painful duty"
Prisoner-with smile-'It does not hurt me,
Captain; am innocent, though | am prepared to
die, and do not think hard of it,"
Captain Chickasaw then asked the prisoner f
it would not have been better for him to have az
cepted the offer of life upon the. disclosure IF
facts in his possession When the prisoner ar
swered, with much indignation:
"Do you suppose would betray friend? Nc,
sir | would die thousand times, first ?"
He was then questioned upon other matters, but
refused to give any information which could be Of
service.
The prisoner then mounted the scaffold and was
launched into eternity"
He would not betray his friends to save his own
life He was hero, indeed.

by which they authorize an election to be held, on
the 10th of February next for representatives

States.
The act requires an election by general ticket,
and permits all legal voters now in the army as
