KEGS. Ne damage was done to the
type or fixtures of either of the print
ing Offices in the place.
On Monday morning, soon after
light, thd drums were heard and the
troops were seen marching down the
main street evacuating the town.
Large numbers of negroes mounted
on stolen horses were seen going off
with the Yankees women with little
children in their arms, seemed as, ca
ger to be off as the men. The Yam
KEGS did not like to be troubled with
them, and if report be true, they will
not be troubled with them for any
great length of time, for they are
sure to find an early grave. Some of
the Yankees cursed the negroes, tell
ing them that they had better stay
where they were, for they were far
better of, and much better provided
for with their masters than they
would be with the army. One of the
officers at Mr.. w, 7. Ficklin's said
it was not the love of the negro that
induced them to take away The slaves
but it was to prevent agricultural OPP
erations from being carried on, this
being the most effectual nieans of
bringing the rebellion to an end.
While the Yankee army was in
Charlottesville they circulated reports
that Lynchburg was captured, Rich
mond evacuated, &C., but none but
weak headed and weak kneed persons
gave credance to any such such sto-
ries. They said there were $4,000
cavalry with them, but 5000 would
cover all the had. Gems. Sheridan,
Custar, Merritt, and Forsyth were
with the iyaders. If there were 9TH
er Generals | have not heard their
names. On leaving the town they
separated into four columns, taking
as many different directions. One
of the columns went to Scottsvill, de-
stroying the factory there and the
canal.

The Result.

The vote for Ratification, carried
on the 22d ult., by something near
$4,000 votes, a majority of all the vo-
ters III the state at the time. The
ticket for Governor and members OF
the General Assembly, it is believed,
has carried by still larger vote, and
is of course elected.
The Legislature, under the amend.
ed Constitution, meets on Monday,
the Sd day of next month. Let ev.
cry member elect be there, and in or.
der to this, let the members at dis.
tance, say from East Tennessee, start
few days in advance of the meeting
on the Sd of April, so as to be on

ton of each house, and in the great

old State to order agrin. The sign:

The French Mission ,
L. S. GRANT.
Lieut.. Gen.

Some surpris has been expressed that
this important mission was not filed pre-
viously to the adjournment of the SEN
ate. We understand that it was tender
ed to James Gordon Bennett, Esq, of
this city, but declined by him mainly on
the ground that he could be Of more ser
vice in eXtrcating our country from her
present difficulties at home than abroad.
Since Benjamin Franklin--in every
sense our first ambassador to France-we
do not remember that an editor has till
now been designated for that post, which
demands in its incumbent full and init
mate knowledge of our own and of Eu-
ropean politics, ripe general alexperience,
and a special familiarity with the charac-
ter and career respectively of the leading
statesmen of Europe. These qualifca-
tions, we presume, dictated the selection
Of the veteran editor of the Herald.
We may here mention, as an interest
ing incident, that Mr. Bennett met the
present Emperor of France at private
dinner party In London just before the
fall of Louis Philippe; when, the con-
vorsation turning on the condition of af,
fairs in France, Mr.. Bennett remarked
that he had observed that almost the en-
tire French press was then opposing the
Government. The remark made such an
impression on Louis Napoleon that he sub
sequently recalled the subject, and asked
Mr.. Bennett what inference he dew from
the fact above noted Mr. Bennett repli-
ed that, in the United States, such an at
titude of the press would forecast an ap-
preaching transfer of political power
The events which soon followed proved
this inference equally sound with regard to
France.-N !. Tribune.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
CAMP OF THE 9TH PA. HEAVY ART'Y,
FoRT ETHAN ALLEN, Va,
M,roh Q,h 1ceE

Mn EDIToR One thing that iuduc-
ed me to wlite at present, was the notice
of communication in your issue of the
22nd inst, from one of your correspond
ents from the army, over the signature of
r, in which there was an aIlusion TO
the Butler county boys in Battery A, &
b, of this Regiment. My exposition of
this, whel read it, was that all the But
Ter county boys in the Regiment, were in
Battery a, q b. would beg leave to
inform Mr.. ar, "S that there are about 40
representatives of Butlet county, in Bat
terry d, of the 9Th Pa. II. A., all in fine
condition, and, if they are not so con-
spicuous in the eyes Of your worthy cor
respondent. | am very happy to inform
you that we have been more peculiarly
favored in the way of receiving your pa
per than our worthy friend.
Some unknown friend has been send
ing us your paper regularly, for which we
now return our thanks.
| have no particular news to write at
present. The all absorbing question with
us for the past three months has been /:
when will we be payed off? 1t was tru-
ly amusing to be in camp, and hear the
varied expression Of the boys. Whenev-
er vehicle of any kind, Or person of
any description, (if it should be an old la
dy with basket of cakes wculd come
into camp, some one would shout, lyon
der comes the Pdymaster; fall in for your
GrecaJachs." Another one would say.
1" that is not him'-that we would not be
paid off this three months; another that
a certain officer had told him that we
would be paid off next week, &c. but
the long looked for came at last, and pay-
day-that period Of very peculiar inter-
est and excitement in camp-has just
transpircd.
We have received four months wages,
and the SutIer has been receiving heavy
proportion Of the Greca5acks-froms some
Of the boys-for nic.nacs, daintes and
some of the unnecessary comforts of life,
which had much better been done with
ou-. Itwould be very great improve
ment in the army were the Sutler institu-
tion entirely abolished,
The portion of the time of our enlist
ment that is past, has been spent in prep
aration for active service. But it is to be
hoped that we will never have to aim any
gun, either large or small at any of the
disciples of jeff.
The low cbb of secession. and the wan
ing condition Of the confoderacy, is very
encouraging to us; but if they sti per-
sist in their rebellious ways the strength
of the nation should be summoned and
prosecute the war TO the bitter end. not
trusting in the power of man; but thro'
God may we do valiantIy, and go on tread
ing down our enemies. till we shall enjoy
peace on the basis of Universal Freedom
and everlasting justice.

Volunteering.

By recent order of Provost Marshal
General Fry, the time for raising inde-
pendent companies in this state is extend
ed to the 2lst inst, the draft, it is said, is
not to be postponed however. Still we
don't believe that the draft will take
place so long as any progress is being
made at volunteering. 1t seems to us
that should any good man in the centre
or northeastern part of the county un-
dertake it, he would have no trouble in
getting up a company. This would not
only be creditable to the locality but
wonld enable that part of the county to
avoid the draft. Those subject to draft
cannot. under existing laws, go outside

cannon and $500 barrels Of gunpowder
In Fayetteville he found 30 p eces of ar

brought the letter says that before day
light on the 10th, Hampton got two brig
AIDES in the rear of Fitzpatrick headquar-
ters, and surprised and captured all the
staff but two officers. Fitzpatrick escap-
ed, formed his men aud drove the enemy
with great loss, rccaptming about all that

of their sub-district to volunteer. We
have no doubt that young men enough
would be found in almost every Township
who would prefer volunteering for mod
crate bounty, of from three to four hnnd-
red dollars, rather than pe drafted. We
believe that nearly two-thirds of our
county is clear of the draft. Nothing
would rejoice us more, Except the fall Of
Richmond, } than to be able to announce
to our neighboring counties. that Mr..
Draft had no claims on us.

RE5r We would advise our reader,

Btg- We would advise our readers to
examine the card of Mr.. John Wagley,
in another column of our paper. The
machine for which he is agent, is one of
the best in use. This we can say, from
personal knowledge, having had one of
them in use, in our family for nearly four
years-no family should be without one
Mrs. Lowman will represent the agent in
his absence. Let all wishing to procure
good substantial sewing machine, call
at once and examine them for themselves.
Mrs Lownan has also procured the
agency for Dalton's Family and Manu-
featuring Knitting Machines" We saw
this machine perform wonders few even
iGgs since-it is certainly one of the won-
ders of the age. From its appearance we
should suppose THIS machine, in the hands
of good operator would turn off pair
uf socks in fifteen minutes. All kinds of
knitting can be done to order: Call and
see Ii.
