As pertinent to these conveyances and the site of the old Broughton mill we refer to our frontispiece and acknowledge the forethought and interest of Mr. Hooper in securing the two views of the mill site just before obliteration.

When the Regiment took up its line of march from the Square, it was joined by the Chesterfield Troop, Capt. Ball, 45 men, and the Governor's Mounted Guard, Capt. J. G. Cabell, 37 strong, who preceded it. The display was further augmented by the appearance with the Regiment of the Henrico Dragoons, Col. J. L. Davis, 40 men, and the Verina Troop from the same county, Captain Mills, numbering about 67 men, who mustered in undress uniform, and made a creditable display for a first appearance.

After the usual parade through the principal thoroughfares, the Regiment returned again to the Square, where the troops were inspected by Gen. August and reviewed by Governor Letcher. The commissioned and staff officers then accepted an invitation to visit the Governor's mansion, where, we presume, they en

or the same period last year. While the importations of goods have thus been cut off by a prohibitory tariff, the war troubles compel importers and jobbers to keep their present supplies on hand unsold. Foreign goods, if sold at all, do not bring scarcely the cost of manufacturing them. Domestic goods are very little better off. With the exception of brown and heavy goods for export, they sell below the cost of manufacturing them. Good styles of prints can be had at 6 cts. per yard. Mills which continue to run at the East are losing money. Vessels (a large number) hither to engaged in the Southern coast trade, are being laid up at the docks to rot. Of all the 15,000 or 20,000 men, a large majority of them volunteered from classes thrown out of employment under Lincoln's rule, and have been sent off by the aristocracy for fear of having to feed them at home or to submit to attacks on their property.

Escaped from my custody, in this city on the afternoon of 26th July, 1861 James'o. Davis, at present on trial at Louisa Court-House on a charge of defrauding Mrs. Mills of two slaves.
