e. Capt. P. B. Duffey, in trying to rally them, discovered a company of Yankees in our rear, and immediately apprised Col. Johnson of the fact.--The Colonel seemed to doubt the assertion at first, but having advanced within two hundred yards of the . This we know by seeing our artillery on the opposite hill firing at them in the turnpike about a mile distant. Col. Johnson then formed his force and marched them to the trenches on the opposite hill. Here the fight continued furiously for a or the treaches, was bravely defended by the 52d and 35th Virginia regiments and the 12th Georgia. Be it said of Col.

Excitement at Monterey — Expected from the Yankees — Promotion of Colonel Johnson, &c. The Lynchburg Republican, of the 7th contains an interesting letter from its special correspondent at Monterey, dated January 3, from which we extract the following: Much excitement prevails, owing to a port that the Yankees are encamped, 3,000-8,000 strong, at Camp Bartow, and force on the farm of Uriah Hevenor, and Green Bank. The people here think they (the Yankees) will pass around our and come to this place, a distance of sixty miles from Camp Alleghany, to take possession of our Commissary Department at our place, where a large amount of previous are stored. Last night a messenger was dispatched Gen. Edward Johnson to Col. Goode's Regiment, camped near this place; also Col. Wm. C. Scott's regiment, encamped Crab Bottom, to report at Camp Alleghany without delay. The presumption is, the orders were sent on the and that Gen. Johnson anticipated to attack at Alle

City Court-House, the nearest infantry has been to Richmond since the evacuation of the Peninsula in 1862, investing all the country in the vicinity of Providence Ferry and the Court-house, driving in the enemy's pickets, capturing a number of the Tenth Virginia cavalry, securing large herds of fine cattle, horses, mules, saddles, bridles, buggies, wagons, guns, over five hundred dollars worth of tobacco, and destroying valuable tool-shops, forage and grain. One amusing order issued by Colonel Johnson--i. e., not to disturb the property of our enemies, but take from our friends, as they were expected to contribute of their means to our Government, and, strange enough, his orders were easily complied with. We found no enemies. After recrossing the Chickahominy and James rivers, we marched through many deserted farms containing vast fields of clover easily accessible to our Government for one fifth of its value and which should undoubtedly be mown and transported away or destroyed to

Ran away from the subscriber a negro man, named Lewis, of dark complexion, and nearly six feet tall; quite intelligent, and his pronunciation a little singular; his hands were badly frost- bitten when he left. His wife, whom he expressed great desire for me to purchase, is owned by Mr. James A. Johnson, of Caroline county, of whom I bought the said negro man, Lowis, some months ago; suppose he is now lurking in the neighborhood of his wife. Any information of him will be thankfully received, and a reward of five hundred dollars will be paid for his delivery to me, or his lodgment in jail, that I may get him again.

following Senators were appointed by the President as the Committee of Conference, to meet a similar committee appointed by the House of Delegates, to consider the differences between the two Houses relative to the election bill, viz: Messrs. Johnson, Newton, Dulaney, Thomas and Alderson. On motion of Mr. Johnson, the House bill, providing for an increase of the salaries of circuit judges, was taken up, read the third time and passed. On motion of Mr. Newman, of Mason, the SenaMr. Johnson, the House bill, providing for an increase of the salaries of circuit judges, was taken up, read the third time and passed.

The business done was of the desultory sort, and of a local, rather than general interest, and consisted in the reception of reports from committees, and resolutions of expediency and inquiry from members. Several local and private bills were passed, and at 3 P. M. the House adjourned.

en thousand dollars; but even if the jury who are sitting on that demand should hatch to the extent of his expectations, it can afford no equivalent for the injury to a good name and the harassing vexations incident to law. Moreover, the uncertainties of the law are as proverbial as those of battle. With such an antagonist as Mr. Greeley, the Count Johannes, before he gets through his case, may be carried up, and up and up, till he sees more courts in America than he ever saw in Europe. Dr. Johnson compared plaintiff and defendant in an action of law, to two men ducking their heads in a bucket, and daring each other to remain the longest under. We cannot contemplate, without a shudder, the head of Count Johannes testing the question of endurance by such an ordeal with Horace Greeley, who is the original temperance man of New York, and has never had his head out of a bucket of cold water since the day he was born. We can only wish Count Johannes a happy deliverance. In the mea

te bill to amend an act to provide against the sacrifice of property, and to suspend proceedings in certain cases, passed April 30, 1861, by the Convention of Virginia, was taken up and passed. [This is the bill known as the "stay law."] Mr. Johnson, of Bedford, submitted a report from the committee of conference on the disagreement of the two Houses relative to the day of election, which was concurred in. The bill provides that members of the Legislature are to be elected on the fourth Thursday in March, and those of Congress on the first Wednesday in November. The action of the Senate was communicated to the House of Delegates by Mr. Johnson.
