Wise county.

--We learn that a company has been formed in Wise county called ‘"The Wise Yankee-Catchers."’ They have asked permission to go on with their own rifles if the State cannot furnish them with arms. We would give but little for a Yankee's chance if he should happen to come in the range of one of the rifles of the Wise Mountaineers.--Abingdon Democrat.
