Sustain your Local Papers.

On this subject an exchange submits
the following remarks, which we commend
to the good people of this county. as both
sensible and timely:
when paper is ordered discontinued
because it is not liked, we have nothing to
say-but when the reason given or ex-
cuse is: i wish to take city paper, |
cannot take two at time, We have a
right to feel aggrieved, although our act
ual loss is but little The excuse is a poor
one. for the additional expense is but
little. We know mechanics who depend
upon their wages for a living, who take
one or two weekly papers and daily
and vet there are wealthy farmers who
cannot ai.ord to take a paper. Do such
men ever think Of the Importance to
themselves, pecuniarily, socially, polite
ally, and as a matter Of convenience, Of
having papers printed in their own coun-
ties? What would be thought Of county
that would not sustain local paper p
And yet there are hundreds if not thous-
ands of men in this county who take no
such paper. They rely upon others to
furnish them with the local news of their
county Now, we insist that it is the
interest of every property owner to sus-
tain 4 local paper that is identified with
all the interests of the county in which it
is printed. And by SO dong-by giving
us the support you contribute to foreign
papers-or at least not Withdrawing your
support from your home papor-we shall
be enabled to furnish you with better
and perhaps larger sheet"

"Lynchburg papers of Monday and

of the raid through the upper country,

has communicated with Grant from Co.

hold, and therefore lay them before our
readers. The Virginian saws that the
Yankee division sent in that direction fol-
lowed the Orange and Alexandria railroad
as far as Buffalo river, burning the rail.
road bridge at that point. Every bridge
between Charlottesville and Bffalo, dist
ance OF more than forty miles, has been
destroyed. and much ofthe track torn up.
though the extent Of damage has not been
ascertained. The nearest approach they
made to Lynchburg was New Glasgow,
IL miles distant, where q small party of
them burned the railroad depot. On
"Wednesday party estimated at from
1000 to 5000 appeared at Bear creek,
supposed to be making for the south side
OF the James river. The fine bridge over
the river being burned on their approach,
they contented themselves with loud curses
upon our reserves, who were stationed on
the other side of the river. They burned
the boat of the James River company at
Bent Greek. They had captured four of
our scouts who were left in the hands of
an equal number of their troops, who,
being cut off from the main force by the
burning of the Tye river bridge, gave
themselves up to their prisoners, and were
brought to this city. The raiders burned
every mill they could find along the James
river, destroyed all the tobacco and tobac-
co houses, and carried away all the horses
and negroes they could lay their hands
upon. They shot about 300 of their bro
ken down horses on the plantation of W.
r. Cabell, below New Market, and took
off all the horses belonging to that gentle
man they could find. 1t is said that 800
Yankees crossed the river opposite Column
ba on Friday, but retreated to the north
side.

We have been handed, with reque.

We have been handed, with a request
to publish it, the statement of conductor
Hall, in relation to the recent railroad
disaster at Grovertown. In justice to that
gentleman, we cheerfully give place to
his statement, which is as foil ows:
Il left the vicinity OF Camp Douglas at
precisely 5:25 P. NJ, in charge of a spc-
cial train OF twelve passenger cars, with
500 rebel prisoners ON board At Hannah
station I received telegraphic orders,
giving me until $40 p NJ. to make Don
elson arrived and stopped still at
Groyertown, three and half miles west of
Donclson, at precisely $40, and it was not
yet Sal when the express struck My train
at the rate of not less than % miles per
hour, killing the engineer and dislocating
one mans shoulder on the express train.
There was no one hurt on my train, with
the exception Of one of the guard, who
received slight injuries only. Had the
express not passed Donelson until $40, az
was ordered. and run at its usual rate of
speed, which would have consumed seven
minutes between the two stations, it would
have given me ample time to have tagged
it, and tie collision would have been
avoided. There was delayed freight
train on the sideway at Donelson. which
the engineer of the express might have
supposed was my train, in which case he
would Of course proceed. But he should

lively whether he was correct in his sup
