strides to meet the Illinois baboon and his co-workers of iniquity on the borders of our once happy old State, to welcome them with "bloody hands to hospitable graves." The tocsin of alarm has been sounded from the lottiest peak of Rich Mountain, and a continual reverberation is heard even down in the deepest recesses of "Buck Hollow."

The County Court of Buckingham on yesterday made an appropriation of $20,000 to equip her soldiers to help in the good cause — May the God of Battles hover over and protect all of those brave heroes, who, believing theirs to be a just and righteous cause, have stepped forward to drive back the half, starved Lincolnites, who, with open mouths, are seeking to devour us with eager avidity.
