Samuel H. Boyd. Esq., of Rockingham, N. C., has been elected to the House of Commons, in that State, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Capt. Thomas Slade, now in the army. North Carolina has expended for war purposes the sum of $2,044,022.96.
was not on the field. The gallant commandants of companies of the 33d and their men responded to the torrent of the enemy's bullets with a rapidly and constancy that can not but add lustre to the glorious name they gained at Manassas. The Rockingham company, under Lieut Huston, fought with great determination, officers and men, and won for themselves a name of which Rockingham may be proud. They maintained their ground in the face of immense odds. Sergeant Joseph Hansburger, who was twice wounded, it is though, was captured in an ambulance while being carried from the field. Adam Wise was killed. Thomas Middle. George Shipp, and Preston armentrout, were wounded and captured Let those in Rockingham who wish to assist in defence of their homes enlist in this noble company. The 33rd had only one captain killed--Captain Spank, of the Page company, an officer brave and beloved While peace rests with his asher, the gratitude of his country men will nestle in their memory for
e spirit seemed to prevail along the line of the railroad, and, as far as I could learn from inquiry, prevailed throughout the State. At every station the soldiers received gratifying manifestations of sympathy from the ladies, who are not behind their fair sisters of other States in exhibitions of practical patriotism. The first meeting of ladies in the Confederacy that I have seen recorded in response to the appeal of the President in relation to skulkers and deserters, was held in Rockingham, N.C. Gov. Vance had called out the militia to the defence of the State, and they were hastening to the several points selected for rendezvous in prompt obedience to the call.--Crowds of these could be seen at one or more places on the principal thoroughfare of travel in the State. The people of South Carolina are now fully aroused to the critical situation of their beloved seaport city; and though some districts of the State, from want of due appreciation of the necessity, were slo
Princes in Rockingham. --In Rockingham co., Va., corn has been sold at $5 and sometimes at a higher figure. A day laborer commands $5 per day for his work, if an efficient hand. Flour is worth $50 per barrel, cotton cloth commands $5 per yard, beef brings 50 cents per pound, sugar is held at $4, and coffee at $15.

Worthy example. --The recent call of Brig Gen. upon the citizens of Augusta, Rockbridge Beckingham, Shenandoah, and other counties to supply his command with rations and forage, by each one sparing a little, was answered by the people of Rockingham, where he was encamped, in the most patriotic manner. Committees were appointed in different parts of the county to wait upon the citizens and what they could spare. They did so, and taking the statement of parties as to what provisions and forage they had, determined what amount it was their duty to send to Gen. Imboden's command, which was promptly done. The result is that Gen. Imboden's command has had an abundance of beef, bacon, flour, and forage, and the people have not suffered at all,
son with what we have suffered before and survived. All but the most inveterate croakers see the bright star of hope glimmering through the darkening clouds, and are confident that the tide of events will soon turn in our favor. There were many rumors yesterday of the movements of our army in the Valley, which it might be imprudent to mention until confirmed by official reports. At last accounts, up to yesterday morning the enemy had reached Harrisonburg. This is the county seat of Rockingham, and is situated twenty-four miles north northeast of Staunton. The report that the enemy, in heavy force, composed of infantry, artillery and cavalry — had made their appearance in Culpeper county--proves to be an error. We can only learn that a body of cavalry is hovering about there, probably for purposes of observation. We have some few additional particulars of the fight near Winchester on Monday last. The highest estimate of our loss, from all causes, is from twenty-five
o the bill, and that the only question would be as to the best mode of reaching the end proposed by the bill. He felt anxious that the Legislature should come up promptly and meet this question, to show that they were not biased by outside influence. Mr. Gilmer seconded the resolution, and assumed the entire responsibility of the bill. He considered the bill of such great importance that legislators should invoke Divine assistance. He spoke with great earnestness. Mr. Gray, of Rockingham, spoke for his people at home. That was the crucible. Whilst he despised the arts of the demagogue, he respected the people. He considered the bill one of the most important in the history of Virginia. He spoke with much force, and favored the resolution. Mr. Cabell, of Nelson, offered a resolution instructing the committee to inquire into the second section of the act, with a view of bringing in a separate bill. In a speech of much ability, he argued that the bill mixed up two t
