was recalled at once, and by making good his retreat saved his command, to which the Kanawha troops were attached. It has been about four months since these things happened, though the country has passed through so many trials, it seems to us as many years. But the events of that time can never be forgotten by the Kanawha.--They had just triumphed over their enemies at Scarey Creek. Constituting the advance of Gen. Wise's forces, about six hundred Kanawha men had met fifteen hundred Lincoln troops, defeated, and utterly routed them. A large number of the invaders had been killed, wounded, and made prisoners; and more superior officers taken, I believe, than anywhere except at Manassas; and not even that, when all things are considered, was a more intrepid defence, or more decided victory. True, this was one of the minor combats of the war, but nowhere has there been a more gallant fight than that on the Scarey. Just then, news of the Rich Mountain disaster reached Kanaw

r territory. Virginia feels a mother's affection for all her children, wherever located, and she rejoices with them in their hours of joy, and sympathizes with them in their moments of sadness. The brilliant successes which have crowned her efforts so far, the glorious victories which have been won by her soldiers on fields where the odds were against them, assure us that her liberty and independence will be secured. I introduce, in this connection, an extract from a speech made by Mr. Lincoln in the House of Representatives the 12th day of January, 1848,peculiarly striking, and exactly suited to the existing condition of the country. "Any people, any where, being inclined, and having the power, have a right to rise up and shake off the existing Government, and form a new one that suits them better.--This is a most valuable, a most sacred right-- a right watch we hope and believe is to like rate the world.

whom they shall be issued. It is one to the laboring classes, who are usually the sufferers from a small note currency, that this shall be done. I have no hesitation in recommencing that individuals shall be prohibited from issuing them, under severe penalties. Under the authority vested in me by an ordinance of the Convention, I issued a proclamation, dated May 11th, 1861. prohibiting the exportation of breadstuffs, &c., from this State to any one of the States under the dominion of Lincoln. Robert A. Mayo, Esq., had a contract with the United States Government for supplying tobacco for the navy for three years, from July 1st, 1860. He desired to fill his contract, but the proclamation prevented him from doing so, and as he insists that he has been damaged, he desires to bring the question before the General Assembly. The papers will be hereafter transmitted. You assemble to enter upon your legislative duties at a period of unusual importance and interest to the State,

A. R. Boteler: Another outraLincoln's demons upon the true and loyal citizens of Jefferson county, Va., among the number the wife of the Hon. A. R. Boteler: Another outrage, exceeding, if possible, those heretofore chronicled, was perpetrated in Jefferson county, on Tuesday night, by the minions of Abe Lincoln. It appears that about two hundred of these jail-birds and cut-throats crossed the Potomac, from Maryland, opposite Shepherdstown, on Tuesday night, on a marauding excursion, and for the purAbe Lincoln. It appears that about two hundred of these jail-birds and cut-throats crossed the Potomac, from Maryland, opposite Shepherdstown, on Tuesday night, on a marauding excursion, and for the purpose of arresting prominent Southern men. Visiting Shepherdstown, they succeeded in capturing and taking from their comfortable beds a number of true and loyal Virginians — among them Messrs. Geo. D. McGlincy, Lorenzo Etchison, Geo. Johnson and A. Shepherd. Proceeding to the residence of the Hon. Alexander R. Boteler near town, the

A New Southern book. Messrs. West & Johnston have just published a book entitled "The Southern Spy," by Edward A Pollard, Esq., of this city. It embodies a series of letters on the policy and inauguration of the Lincoln war, written anonymously in Washington and elsewhere, which, besides the actual interest pertaining to their perusal, supply an important part of the history of the present revolution. The pages of the book abound in vigorous expressions of sentiment, with excoriating criticisms upon the acts of Lincoln and other leading politicians and priests of the North. We heartily commend it to the public.
