WASHINGTON, September 29.-A
letter was recently addressed by some
Of the citizens of Charlottesville. Vir-
glnia, to President johnson, prompt
ed'by the difficulties which surround
them in relation to the approaching
Congressional election. They appeal
20 him for counsel, anu advice as to
their proper course of action, being
wholly uninformed as to whether the !
test oath will probably be repealed
or modified SO as to admit Southern
members.
They have thought it possible that
he might enlighten them on the sub
ject. They say their main purpose is
to pursue that course which Will be

ton saying that portion of Sherman's
FORCES have occupied Grahamville, 30 miles
north of Savannah. A Charleston dispatch
of the 9th says the enemy crossed New river
on the 5th inst.
Richmond papers Of the 9th say Price is
still living.
Hoods official report of his defeat has
been received. He puts as good face upon
it as possible, but acknowledges the loss of
so guns in one day. The Richmond Dis
patch says that even according to his ac-
count the battle of Nashville was bad
business. The Dispatch thinks Thomas
will lreturn one ofhis columns toward South
western Virginia. The Examiner thinks
this would be stupendous undertaking,
with but the faint hope of success. 1t
thinks it more probable that the army will
be kept in Tennessee as corps of observa-
ton, while large detachments will be sent
as reintorcements to Virginia and Louisi-
ana.

A Steamer Wrecked.

New York, Jan. 12.-The bark Rocka-
bill, from Ragged Island, reports on the 9th
inst, in latitude 80, longitude "a, about 3
A. NJ, being attracted by calls, sent out a
boat and found on a hurricane deck, which
was part of wreck, Albert T. BoyndoD,
who said he was passenger on Whitney
& Hathaway's steamer Melville, from New
York 9TH for Hilton Head. On the 9TH, in
heavy storm about 0 p. NJ, one of her
bows was stove in by q sea. The Captain
ordered a boat lowered, when he, with the
chief engineer, first cook and one seaman,
with several others, swamped in it. The
vessel was kept afloat till the next morning
by the efforts of all on board, when the
main life boat was lowered, but before the
lady passengers could be got into it the
Melville went down. Mr.. Boyndon saw a
number perish and many clinging to a
piece of wreck. At sunset he lost sight of
the life boat, which was free of water and
contained three persons, two men and one
lady. There vas vessel in sight from II
o'clock at night till the Melville foundered,
and the mail, consisting of three newspaper
and one letter bag, was burned, together
with everything else combustible, in order
to signal the vessel. There were about 60
passengers, of whom were soldiers, and
about l6 officers and the crew.

A HEROINE.
Adventures OF n Young Lady, n Re-
fugce.

Miss Susan Ayres, young lady about
twenty years of age, refugee from the
"Old Dominion" arrived at the house of
Mr. A. II. Williams, in this city, on the
10th inst. She is niece of Mrs. Williams
Her father was, before the war, Il farmer in
comfortable circumstances, residing in Mel
son county, Virginia. But, by the devas-
tation and ravages of war, the family was
reduced to destitution and almost to starva-
tion. Her brother had died in the rebel ar
my. A few days before she left, her father,
though fifty-three years of age, was con-
scripted, and forced to serve as private in
the rebel ranks.
Under these circumstances, Miss Ayres,
though she regretted to part from her
mother, formed the resolution to attempt to
reach her relatives in this city. She started
on her perilous journey, and Travelled in three
days one hundred and fifty miles on foot
She forged a pass to enable her to get
through the rebel lines Three several times
was she arrested on her route and searched;
but nothing contraband being found upon
her person, she was released. During three
days of her long pedestrian tour while she
was passing over the mountains, it rained
necessarily. One night while the rain was
pouring down in torrents, she lay on the
summit of Cheat Mountain, sheltered only
by brambles and underbrush On Cheat
Mountain, she called on one White, who
keeps sort of inn. White, suspecting she
was refugee, threatened to take her life;
but she escaped by telling him she was
going to visit her husband at Beverly.
When our traveller arrived at Beverly,
West Virginia, she was compelled, from IA
tigue and exhaustion, to remain there for
fifteen days, before she was able to resume
her journey. From Beverly she came to
this city by railroad. The story of her
| adventures across the mountains of which
we have given but brief and imperfect
sketch, is very interesting, and her endu-
rance and fortitude truly surprising.

Army Of the Potomac.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac
Jan. 9.-Several rebel deserters came in to-
day, besides large numbero of cOntrabands.
All were in the most wretched condition
Imaginable. They had travelled long dis
tance in the rain, and were objects of pity
to all who saw them. They report that the
rebel cavalry had withdrawn to Hicksford,
on the Weldon railroad, where they have
gone into winter quarters. They were
compelled to fall back to this point owing
to the lack of forage between there and
Ream's station, and also for lack of trans
portation, owing to the destruction of the
railroad in that district by Gen. Warren.-
They, however, have pickets as far as
Ream's station and on the east side of Har-
pers run with division of General Hills
corps located on the Boydstown plank
road. The rebels have been very busy pre-
pairing the railroad north Of Hicksford for
the re-laying of the rails, but as yet none
have been put down, probably because they
do not possess them. ..rfssa o.7. l.,.ta
