to get all the service out of them that can be had within that time. If we remain in the field, we must all suffer greatly, and I sincerely believe many will die from the effects of cold and exposure; but human life. shattered constitution, broken hearts and beggared hearthstones are familiar fruits in the harvest of civil war. The weather up to this date has of course, been comparatively mild to what we may expect in mid winter, and yet we have suffered not a little. Friday night, the 2d November, a tremendous Northeaster set in, with as heavy a rain as I ever saw. All the tents of Company H, with many others, were blown down and torn into rags. Imagine our condition if you can. No shelter of any kind, no fire, no food, wet to the skin, in a drenching rain, and chilled to the marrow by the keenest sort of a wind Saturday some of our men walked miles to procure food and shelter. Others huddled together over a few smoking sticks, some cursing their luck, and I am sorry to say, so f

The State muskets. A voluminous correspondence has passed between the Executive of Virginia and the authorities of the Confederate States, occasioned as we understand it, by the appropriation of the State arms by the latter, without getting due credit therefore. The probability is that a mutual understanding will be arrived at, and that in the distribution of arms the value of Virginia's contributions for carrying on the war will not be lost sight of Up to the 2d of November last the Ordnance Department of this Commonwealth had issued 10,000 percussion muskets, (U. S.,) and 50,000 Virginia flint-lock muskets, beside 10,000 flint lock arms, which she received years ago from the Federal Government. The process of altering the flint locks to percussion has been and still is very rapidly carried on.

" Such, indeed, proved to be the case, though the prisoner denied it bitterly, "dat she didn't have 'em." She said, also, that if she had taken the articles Sarah would never see them any more, and finally paid $2 as a first instalment of their value.

here a ball was in progress. He was very drunk, and had in one hand a large bolster pistol, and in the other a breech-loading gun.

The snow. We waked up yesterday morning to find it snowing f ma y! a very uncommon occurrence in this lan so early in the reason. We recollect, indeed but one fall of snow at all comparable to this so early in the season, and that was in the year 1820, and on the 2d day of November. That was one of the deepest we ever saw in this latitude — the very deepest, we believe, except one which fell in April 1825. The day of the month we do not recollect; but it was the same day with the election in Hanover county. Elections were held at that time, under the old Constitution of 1775, on the County Court-day of each county, and we are induced to remember this particular day from the fact that numbers of persons were deterred from going from this city to cast their voice in Hanover. The old freehold system was then in operation, and every man had a right to vote in any county in which he held land enough to make him a voter. Numbers of Richmond residents held freeholds in Hanover. I
