Buylary-The store of Messrs. HATCH G.

evening. Mr.. ALLEN had left the store but
a few moments, when the clerk, who has
his lodgings there, came in. lie remained a
short time, and went out to chat with friend
on the opposite side Of the street. In half Or
three quarters Of an hour, he returned, and
retired without striking n light. Scarcely

somebody moving was heard close by

ingress by removing n light of glass from a
back windo s, and on reaching the inside had





removed the bar of tho back door to secure
his speedy exit should it become necessary.
It was discovered on tho following morning
that the thief had first cndeavored to enter
by cellar window. just in the rear Of the
store an iron, which evidently had been used
together with half-dozen pocket-handker-
chiefs, which had been distracted, were
found. Considering the hour, (about IL
o'clock) that the store had been vacated So

about, it was decidedly one Of the boldcst af.
fairs Of which we have heard in some time
Messrs. HATcu & ALLEN have as yet missed
nothing, and it is thought the thief did not
make much Of haul. Take warning.

A friend who was in the fight at Williamsburg

when our men were ordered back to fight, he
saw for the first time what Russell so often
speaks OF, the light of battle in the faces"
The greeting given them by the ladies as they
went at double-quick through the town, reused
them to the highest pitch of enthusiasm The

The House of Delegates has passed the bill
authorizing the organization Of a volunteer force
not exceeding ten thousand IN number, TO be
composed of the non conscript militia, and com
manded by Major Gen. Floyd, who is, by law,
commissioned for that purpose.


We consider ourselves authorized to report, on
what we deem good authority, that the Confed-
crate government may approve this legislation.
It will aid the cause greatly, by providing for
locaJ defense, by bringing into the service men
who could not be required to enter the Conted
crate service, but who, from their knowledge OF
the country and their deep interest in protecting
it from marsuders, will be found a very valuable
force.


It will moreover bring into the public service
general who possesses, in an eminent degree,
the confidence of the people, and who Is, per
haps, smore familiar with the character OF
| the people now threatened with invasion The
news that Floyd has been called to the field
will cheer the hearts of the. sOutherners and
give renewed confidence in the success Of the
cause.


We are very much grati6ed at the promptitude
with which this bill has been taken up and
passed. 1t proves that the chairman of the
military committee has been very successful IL

operated very cordially in securing the passage

MARRIAGE has been said to be lottery, SC little can the results of it as a source of unex pected happiness or of disappointment be antic mated. But it is after all more like chess in which lucky or unlucky oversight may bring good or bad results, where both players are eoual and unsklled, but in which fore,houpht and the best combinations of a thousand com nl;cated movements are the true and reliable source of success. And as the player whu brings the most experience and wisdom is the most certain of advantage, of any piece on the board which he can help. so no young person rightly viewing ma riage as tie for life tit in which much of the future happiness is to be derived from the friendship and helping hand of relatives and friends on both sides will wish to snter upon such tie without the sanction of ev ssy good omen.

\ farmer makes quite as much money
by selling at the right time as by cheap
ness in production. Stock as well as
crops are kept too long for the greatest
profit. A bushc OF potatoes sold III
July frequently brings dollar; in Sep
tcmbcr, forty cents, though the cost of
production is the same. \ lamb sold IN
time for three dollars, often brings more
net profit than the fat wethcr sold at two
years old A pig will frequently bring
four dollars at eight weeks old. At eight
months we'll fa;tcned, he will only bring
twenty dollars, after eating twenty dol
lars worth of proyendcr. With this re-
suit it is easy to see the time to sell pigs

when he is put up for the winter, his

nothing in the way of sefsupport until

If well kept he can not cost much less
than a hundred dollars before he is tit to
work, in any regiol where bay is worth
fifteen dollars a tun. lie may sell for
three hundred dollars or more, but the
chances are that he will sell for no more
than the cost of his keeping. The farmer
may not lose anything, but he will onIy
have made fair market for his hay and
pasture. Iu the sale Of colt during his
first Summer or Fall, the price Is al
profit. There is little risk about it, and
the venture is made certainty. If tho
