The Yankees in Northwestern Virginia. --The Staunton (Va.) Vindicator, speaking of the escape of the Yankee raiding party which was repulsed near the White Sulphur Springs by General Jones, says: We learn that they, after being repulsed and driven back by Gen. Jones at Dry creek, were met by Col. Jackson, again repulsed and forced back in the direction of Dry creek, and were compelled to take a different route from the one they had purposed going out by. They fell back forty miles in one day to Greenbrier bridge, in Pocahontas, where they were reinforced. Jackson was skirmishing with them. He has since driven them to Big Spring, at the edge of Randolph county, capturing over 100 horses in their retreat, and killing about 40. Jackson's loss was two killed and fifteen captured.

eek, both leading north to Jackson's river. But when he reached that river he would still have been entrapped but for the unfortunate turning back towards Buchanan by Gen. F. Lee, misted by a false dispatch. But Averill is a man of undoubted energy; and though he carried no fruits along with him of his raid save the eclat of his escape, he has desolated the country along his march, and seriously straitened the people for the means of subsistence. His own army reached his headquarters in Randolph in the most wretched plight imaginable. His last two horse wagon was captured in Greenbrier by our scouts, and he returned but to fill his hospitals with his sick and disabled followers. Few tragedies are without their comic and grotesque interludes. And Averill's devastating march had its farce. On the very top of Price's or Eleven Mile Mountain as it is sometimes called, dwells a widow woman with a considerable family including several grandchildren. She seems to defy the element

A strange Incident. --A correspondent of the Athens Banner says: "A Mrs. Brown, of Randolph county, went with her sister to Americas, last winter, to meet a brother whom they were expecting home from the army. After the cars came down, and while they were looking for their brother among the crowd, Mrs. Brown observed a coffin in the baggage car, and remarked, on pointing it out to her sister, 'If that were my brother, I believe it would kill me.' Her sister then asked the name of the deceased, of a soldier who had charge of the coffin, and, to her horror, found that it was really her brother. In an instant Mrs. Brown dropped down on the platform and died, and her poor sister had to carry home two corpses instead of one.

ountry. The Boston Advertiser has a singular statistical article, showing that Massachusetts has ordinarily more than her share of women, and that now, through the withdrawal of men into the army, there must be in that State one hundred thousand more women than men. This remarkable surplus is regarded as unfavorable to the morals of the community. One of the editors of the Missouri Republican recently made a tour through the central portion of that State, including the counties of Randolph, Howard, Boone, Audrain, Callaway, Monroes, Montgomery and St. Charles. The harvest, as a general thing, is short, owing to the excessive drought. The cultivation of cotton and sorghum is rapidly increasing in these counties. It is also observed, as an effect of the present high prices, that the ancient regime of home industry, the loom and spinning wheel, were heard in almost every house. Quite an excitement prevails at the Lindell Hotel, St. Louis, in regard to the question whethe
