Wanted a drink.
--The Richmond correspondent of the New Orleans Crescent thus details has personal sufferings subsequent to the establishment of martial law.
The dead silence of this town oppresses me. Martial law is felt, but not seen.
The moon shines coldly down, and there's not a drink to be had from Rocketts to Screamersville.
Who is me. Where are all the soldiers ?--Even they are not visible, except in the day time.

Damage at Blountsville.
--The Bristol Advocate, of Friday, gives the following as the amount of damage done at Blountsville, Tenn., by the late raiders:
It is a sad task for us to state that the larger and better portion of the town of Blountsville was reduced to allies. W. W James, John Powell, John Fain, Sr., Dr. N. G. Dulaney, E P Cawood, Rev. N C Baldwin, Mrs. Martha Rhea, F L Bumgardner, and Maj J G Eans, are among those whose houses and effects were consumed.
The court-house, with the offices of the clerks of the county and jail, were also consumed.
The loss is immense, not less than half a million of dollars.
