Editors Dispatch:--The term of service of this company, commanded by Captain George Pannill, having expired on the 1st of October, and the men being badly clad, and not in condition to enter upon a winter campaign, the company will leave the Wise Legion and return to their homes.
It is not believed that these men will remain permanently out of the service; but from the material of which the company is composed, it is confidently expected that they will, after a short absence, volunteer and hasten to rejoin that gallant host of heroes who are now counting it their richest privilege to spend and be spent for the freest and most glorious country upon which the sun ever shone.
The Captain himself is in for the war, and never means to give up the service as long as the foot of the invader shall desecrate the soil of our beloved Southern Confederacy.

Hdq'rs Army of the Camp on Sewell, October 6th, 1861. Editors of Enquirer:
Gentlemen — In the Enquirer of October 1st you have published certain letters, dated in Camp Defiance, purporting, under my command.
These persons pretend to narrate my conduct in this campaign, particularly in the late actions on the Gauley and retreat to Meadow Bluff.
Their statements are calumniatory falsehoods, having no shadow of truth for their foundation; but their intention, and not less their malignity, is too obvious to permit me to believe that they can be injurious either to my own reputation or that of the army which I then commanded.
Even were it otherwise, I should leave the judgment of those affairs to my Government, which, having been exactly informed of their details, has honored their conduct with a cordial approbation, and remit my personal vindication from malicious d

Strange fatality.
--The New Orleans Delta, of the 24th, has the following account of a singular suicide which occurred in that city on Wednesday last:
Our readers will recollect that on the first day of October, early in the morning, a Frenchman named Louis Aron, employed at the second district draining machine, was found in an out-house with his brains blown out. He had been greatly depressed in spirits, on account of the death of his son, to whom he was devotedly attached.
This preyed upon his mind until he became firmly convinced that it was his destiny to be a corpse by the first of October.
Finding himself in good health and in no immediate danger of death on the evening of the 30th of September, he concluded to assist his destiny, and went into the out-house with a double-barrelled gun, shooting himself just as the clock struck the midnight hour.
His widow was almost crazed with grief at this second blow, and, strange to say, a similar infatuation took possess
