The Cumberland Grays, Company D, Twenty-first Virginia Infantry. Its Roster, with brief record of its service. Cumberland C. H. Va., September 11, 1897. There was a reunion of the Cumberland Grays' Association at Cumberland Courthouse recently. This company was commanded first by Captain F. D.

of one hundred pounds of salt meat. The law of April 16th allowed, moreover, to all drafted men the privilege of providing a substitute in their places, the latter to be himself an exempt, reserving to the government the right of mustering them into service if this substitute failed to appear from any other cause than the casualties of war. This clause was abolished by the law of 1864, which mustered into the service all persons who had already procured substitutes. A few days later, April 21, 1862, the organization of a partisan corps led to the enactment of another law, empowering the President to bestow special commissions upon their leaders, and to secure them the legal character of belligerents. Finally, the Confederate Congress and the legislatures of the different States passed several laws to facilitate and encourage the levying of volunteer corps composed of men freed from compulsory service; but the classes from which these recruitments could be made were so restricted

The advance of the enemy upon Fredericksburg.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Fredericksburg, April 21, 1862. A statement appears in the Richmond Dispatch, of the 21st inst., purporting to give an account of the facts attending the advance of the Federal troops upon Fredericksburg, which bour in grave errors, some of which de a speedy and authentic correction. I have therefore determined to place the facts disposed, and leave my name as for this narrative. The article in the affirms, first, that the "civil authorities" of Fredericksburg were unwilling that Confederate troops should make resistance the advance of the Yankees. Secondly, the said authorities prepared terms of surrender" and sent them under a flag of by a committee, of whom "Pelag Clark, Northern man by birth, was chairman." Now, each of these statements iserroneouns, will appear from the following narrative. The report of the advance of the Federal reached Fredericksburg Thursday

Correspondence.from the Peninsula. Yorktown, April 21, 1862. Nothing stirring, as yet, has transpired on the Peninsula. The enemy seem to have no disposition to attack. Recent events have demonstrated that they have a large force in front of us, and what they are waiting for time alone will reveal. Our forces are ever watchful — continually on the qui vive; and depend upon it, a warm reception will be given when it is needed. With the exception of the demonstration the other day of Winn's Mill, a little commanding from our batteries, and considerable bantering on the part of our outpost pickets, nothing of note has occurred. The Conscription bill, recently passed by Congress, is the great topic of discussion, and with the twelve months men, undoubtedly gives considerable dissatisfactions not, in fact, as to the matter, but as to the manner in which they are held. It cannot be denied that they do and will complain loudly of the poor recompense given by the Gover

The remainder may be generalized under the headings of vandalism, arson and robbery. Come what may — and death and rum and mourning will come to many of us — we are for meeting these outrages by force, and if this can only be rendered effective by county and neighborhood organizations, these we now recommend. St. Inigoes' District, April 21, 1862. Gentlemen: As I told you when I was in Leonardtown, a detachment of Federal soldiers, while on their way down the river to Fortress Monroe, landed at the residence of the Rev. Mr. Pacclarini, in this district, on the 8th inst., and behaved very badly. From Mr. Pacclarini's, they came to my house, in my absence, entered my negro houses, and claimed brotherhood with my negroes, persuading them to go with them, and assuring them that they would be free if they did so.
