nvite your attention to the draft made upon the several counties. The apportionment upon the counties seems to be entirely arbitrary, and bears very unequally. In some cases five per cent. of the slaves is called for, and in other cases less than one per cent. Thus, Amelia, with upwards of 7,000 slaves assessed with taxes in 1862, is required to furnish 50, while Alleghany, with less than 700, is required to furnish 30. The county of Albemarle, with 12,681, is called upon for 200, while Brunswick, with 9,212, is called upon for 250. The county of Augusta, with 4,460 is called upon for 80, while the county of Rockingham, with 2,164 is called upon for 100. Hanover, with 8,621, is called upon for 80, while Prince Edward, with 6,998, is called upon for 150. These examples will suffice to show how unequally this burden is distributed; and I trust that some amendment will be made to the law, which will afford protection against such inequality. The law requires that "the value of

It appears that after their repulse at Staunton River bridge the enemy hastily set about retracing their steps, striking for City Point through Mecklenburg, by way of in Brunswick, Dinwiddie Court-House, and Stony Creek. Our cavalry pressed them closely, fought and defeated them at Sappony Church, about seven miles southwest of Dinwiddie Court-House; and at Ream's our forces attacked them in front and near, putting them utterly to rout, and making important captures, the most valuable of which consist of some hundreds of negroes, curried away from their owners by the Yankees on their expedition. In this affair a portion of Mahone's division was engaged, and won f

The fighting at the South. Sherman seems to be becoming more timid in his movements, or more exhausted in his ability to advance his army. For five days, up to last Friday, his average marching had been only five miles per day. This delay is, of course, most dangerous to him. It gives the Confederates time (which was about all they wanted) to gather troops in his front. He has wasted too much time to think now about obliging to his right and marching for Brunswick, on the Georgia coast, and must, of necessity, strike for Savannah, or Beaufort, South Carolina, the nearest point. He was expected by the Yankee fleet at Savannah as early as Sunday, the 26th ultimo, and all that night the Federal shipping off that point was throwing up signal rockets for his information. He not gotten as far as Millen on last Friday; and the telegraph line to that point was working at that time. All the ferries on the Savannah river are guarded, and all means of crossing the men have been put ou
