harter of their deliverance in the blood of their oppressors, even if it be a deliverance from existence itself as well as from oppression. Even now we discover, from the doleful complaints of a correspondent of the New York Times, that Western Virginia is no bed of roses to the invaders. He draws a graphic and tragic picture of the ambushes, traps, and pitfalls laid for the Federals by detached parties of the Secessionists; of the hidden death that suddenly starts out upon them from some d fifty thousands hogs and sheep were the product of the same section last year. It is believed that twenty-five millions of dollars is a small estimate for the interest of Northerners in the oil, lands, salt, and iron establishments of Western Virginia. If Mr. Cameron or any other man ever expects to wrest such a region from Virginia, he will have to wait till every mother's son in Virginia has bit the dust, and closed his eyes forever to such infamous spoliations and intolerable shame.

efficiency of our operations on the Kanawha, must, of course, be accepted as reliable so far as it speaks in our favor. The second escape of Floyd from Western Virginia, without even a battle, certainly should not be very satisfactory to the Government. His forces were much less than Rosencranz's, and the latter had ample tcut off Floyd's retreat, or at least force him to battle. That it was not done is one of the mysteries of the campaign. At a time when it was supposed that Western Virginia was free from rebels, Floyd stole a march upon Rosencranz, suddenly appearing upon the opposite bank of the river, and throwing balls into Rosencranz's camp.e have before remarked, our loss by disease, resulting from the hardships of that occasion, is greater than that of all the battles which have been fought in Western Virginia. In this last expedition, Floyd certainly eluded what was proclaimed as a sure trap for the destruction of his army. Such are the unpleasant truths whi

Southern sympathy. the Grecian, the Polish, and Hungarian exiles Richmond manifested a commendable sympathy and will it do less for the exile from Maryland, and Eastern and Western Virginia. There are many families, as we learn from the passport office, now in this who have been reduced from affluence to almost utter destination by the enemy. They cannot pay the extortionate prices charged for boarding, and our citizens should see that they have chatter and maintenance. For, under the Providence of God, we may be also to taste the same bitter-cup of adversity that become dependent upon others, South. Beef is only 12 cents per lb., and bread 5 cents per loaf; and to charge one of these exiles from $25 to $40 per month, for robbery, is not to the credit of Richmond-- to its best interest, either.

Rev. Mr. Hiden's lecture. --Rev. J. C. Hiden delivered a very interesting lecture at the 1st Baptist Church, Wednesday evening, in regard to the destitution of religious reading among the soldiers in Western Virginia. He said that being the only commissioned Chaplain in the Wise Legion, he found it impossible to do one half that ought to be done for the three or four thousand men for whose souls he had to labor; that many would read who would not hear; that almost every Sabbath there was something to interfere with religious service, and thus the circulation of Bibles, Testaments and Tracts was probably the best way to reach and save the soldier. He represented even the most ungodly as being anxious to secure Tracts and Testaments, and when secured they were read with deep, and, sometimes soul-saving interest. Oftentimes had the speaker's. heart been sad as one after another would come and say, "Chaplain, can't you give us a Testament," and he would have to answer in the negat
