The one standing immediately below the right-hand star in the flag, beating the long roll on his drum, is Newton Peters. He enlisted at fifteen, in the fall of 1861, and served throughout the four years, not being mustered out until June 29, 1865.

The Thirteenth of June. A patriotic and intelligent correspondent calls attention to the remarkable fact that the day recently set apart for fasting, humiliation and prayer, was the natal day of Gen. Scott, he having been born on the 13th June, 1785. He asks if it was so ordered by design that the national observances alluded to should take place on that day, or was it accidental? It was entirely accidental, and therefore what he terms "Providential." In that case, he suggests that it is was so ordered by design that the national observances alluded to should take place on that day, or was it accidental? It was entirely accidental, and therefore what he terms "Providential." In that case, he suggests that it is "ominous for Gen. Scott and his party." The fact, if he has been reminded of it, no doubt, startled the commander of Lincoln's myrmidons, and caused the pay for which he has sold his mother Virginia, to burn his hands, as did the thirty pieces those of Judas Iscariot.

Washington City. On soliciting the views of his Excellency, the President, and the members of the Cabinet with regard to the formation of the company, it was ascertained that they were all decidedly favorable to the project, and while the President expressed his hearty and cordial approval. the Secretary of War tendered the requisite arms and accoutrements. The organization was completed on Monday last by the unanimous election of the following officers: Henry D. Capers, Captain; G. A. Schwarzman, First Lieutenant; Samuel Scott, Second Lieutenant; Henry Sparnick, Ensign; John Hart, Secretary; Jas. W. Robertson, Treasurer. The name of the Confederate Guards has been adopted, and the corps will hasten to proficiency in drill and exercise of arms. We suggest that some one of our company armories, now vacated by the absence of our volunteers, be tendered for the use of this corps, which is destined to prove of great avail in the protection of our city from hostile invasion.

at war with this State. Mr. John Tyler desired an exception to be made in favor of Col. M. M. Payne, now an invalid in this city, from wounds received in the Mexican war. Mr. Garnett, so far from excepting Colonel Payne, would rather be disposed to include him by name, because he has recently taken Lincoln's oath of office, or must do so before he receives his salary. The ordinance was then amended, so as to make it operative only after the first of August next. Mr. R. E. Scott, of Fauquier, opposed the ordinance, deeming it unnecessary and uncalled for. Mr. Garnett rejoined with great ability and power. The question then came up on the indefinite postponement of the ordinance and amendment. Refused. The substitute provides that the acceptance or holding of office by any citizen of Virginia under the Federal Government of the old United States after the first day of next August shall be evidence of treason to the State, except in cases of officers out of the Unit
