IMPORTANT TO HOLDERS OF PROPERTY
Br TITLE DERIVED FROM THE MILITARY
Acknowledgement Schofcld issued
an order on Thursday last setting aside
the judgment of the Circuit Court of Nor
folk city in the case of Clinton G. Bell Us.
Daniel Maloney, in which case the validity
of such titles was annulled. The order
concludes as follows:
"The validity of the titles given by the
military authorities Of the United States
to property acquired by the operations of
war cannot be questioned"
General Schofeld has issued circular
reminding his officers Of their duties in
regard to fines, disbursements, &c., and
concluding as follows:
G. Military commissioners are reminded
that they are to be "governed in the dis
charge Of their duties by the laos Of Vir-
giraid, so far as the same are not in conflict
with the laws Of the United States, or Or
ders issued from these headquarters" and
that they are not to supersede the civil
authorities except in cases Of necessity.
In such cases the action, or failure to act,
Of the civil officers should he fully re-
ported, in order that the Commanding
General may hold them to proper &C.

Artistic Mysteries.

Our usually quiet little village has had its
equinamity somewhat disturbed of late by the
grand and imposing posters and illustrated
circus and menagerie bills, which promise a
vast deal OF amusement and wonderment, and
would literally have engrossed the entire at
tentlon, and have absorbed every interest, but
for the sudden appearance of a very mystic
rlous personage,-a veritable live artist, who
is now engaged in executing his chief douprie,
which brilliant composition is composed of
beautiful and artistic cropping of some half
dozen tender enfants of the African persuasion,
and that the effect might be more touching,
were clad in old dogs-eared, borrowed clothes,
giving them very much the appearance OF iav-
ing been run through rag picker, which, very
much heightened the artistic beauty, but has
rendered the design somewhat mysterious.
We had applied all the rules of circular, anqu-
lar and pyra'nida1 composition, and were not
able to discover the story or force of the pic
ture, but We think our artist has made the dis
covery, and pinned it up to post, above the
easel of the artist

Daring Robbery.

We learn that one night last week, Mr..
John Myers, of Trout Run Valley, in Hardy
county. was robbed of seven hundred dollars
three hundred in specie and four hundred in
greenback currency.
The robbery was committed by seven per-
sons, disguised as negroes, who made an en-
try into the house and arrested and confined
both Mr.. Myers and bis son, the only men a.
bout, when they proceeded to rob and plumber
the house. The wife Of the younger Mr.. My
ers ran out with horn and began blowing an
alarm to the neighbors, but she was immedi-
ately seized, brought back and searched, and
robbed of half dollar piece of silver, which
she carried in her pocket. The robbers made
their escape with all their booty; bat some
circumstances have lead to the suspicion of
certain parties, and it is hoped that these
dangerous desperadoes will be caught and
brought to a proper punishment.

Death OF a Good Citizen.

The Rockingham Register says: Under cur
obituary head this week will be found recorded
the death of one of our best citizens, ALExAK-
DER BOWMAN, who died in this place on Friday
last, about noon, in the 58th year of bis age.
Mr.. B. had been ill for long time, and his
death was not, therefore, an unexpected event.
He was a good neighbor, a true friend, and a
highminded candid, honorable gentleman. He
Vas as fully entitled to the designation of "an
honest man" IS any one we have ever known.
His death has made a void in our community
but the loss to ais excellent family can never be
repaired. In their overwhelming Addiction
they have the sincerest sympathies Of our
whole community. Peace to the ashes Of the

HOTELS Mill.

Having heretofore referred to other mills that
were rebuilt, we propose to bring to the notice
of our citizens the fact, that Mr.. HENRY Hot
TEL has just put his mill into complete opera
ton. He has procured burrs Of the very best
quality, for grinding wheat, had improved
machinery of every description necessary cree
ted, and added all the modern conveniences
and improvements in the milling business. We
observed, in taking view of his mill the 9TH
er day, that he has attached rolling screen,
smut-machine, separator, &c., for the purpose
of thoroughly cleansing, purifying and pre-
pairing wheat for the burrs. In fact, the ca
pacity of this mill has been greatly enlarged
for grinding, and, with the machinery named
the proprietor will be prepared to sustain the
high reputation which his -four has heretofore
maintained in the market. These improve
ments have been made at great expense to Mr..
Hotel, under the superintendent of Mr.. Da-
vid 4. Glenn, whose improved water-wheel we
had occasion to notice some time since.
When in motion, driven by the sslittle giant"
wheel, the whole of the machinery runs as reg
ularly and smoothly as clock not jar
ring sound being perceptible. This regular
motion is probably due to the new water-wheel
and the fact that there is less friction than
formerly, when the old wooden wheel was used.
1t is Mr.. Hotels intention to enlarge his
business, and to furnish plaster, guano, &C.,
to his old customers, as he did before the war;
He will in few days explain his purpose
more fully to the public.

The Seine fishers tried their luck on Satur-
day last, and met with better success than
heretofore. They fshed in the deep water on
the premises of Miss P. A. Slower. By invi-
tation, the writer accompanied the party, not
rs competitor, with his lines, but to help to
fish. And the "big editor" Col DANIEL
DECHERT, of the Hagerstown NAIL, was also
along. With these important additions, it
would have been strange, indeed, if the expe-
dition had proved failure. We pulled the
seine about half mile through the deep wa
ter, wading up to cur necks, and occasionally
swimming, drawing it out wherever the bank
would admit. We then fshed from the Doug.
las farm to the dam at Mr.. Jacob Cops.
Here We drew out and quit. We had taken
46 fish, not counting the small ones, mostly
''stone-toters." Considering the disadvan-
tages under which the party labored, they did
remarkably we'll. Next week, should nothing
prevent, We intend to give them another trial
with our lines.

STIEFF's PIANos.-We copy the following
from the Lynchburg papers: 'sThe pianos
manufactured by Mr. G. NJ Stieff, of Balti-
more, are rapidly gaining celebrity equal to
that of the most noted manufacturers in the
country. Wherever they have been introduced
they have given the most perfect satisfaction
their richness Of tone and quality of finish
not being excelled by any other instrument
A number of gentlemen in Lynchburg have
these planes in use, and they all bear testi-
mony to the superior qualities which they
possess. Mr.. Stieff has recently made sales of
his instruments to the Capon Springs, the
Greenbrier White Sulphur, the Salt Sulphur,
