Captain H. W. Cox tendered his resignation, which was accepted by the company with much reluctance, in view of his superior qualifications as an officer and of the many good traits of character possessed by Capt. Cox. It is understood that Capt. Cox designs entering the Army of the Confederation, and being a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, will no doubt reflect honor on himself and credit on his Alma Mater. He was unanimously elected an honorary member of the company. Lt. Joseph T. Mason was thereupon elected Captain of the company; Lt Geo C. Gregory being promoted to the 1st Lieutenant, Lt. Geo. W Gregory 2d, and Benjamin Hancock 3d Lieutenant.--Mr. J. P. Cox was elected Orderly Sergeant, who is a brother of Capt. H. W. Cox, and was for some time at West Point. A Spotsylvania correspondent sends us the following appropriate notice of the death of Oscar M. Critchfield: The Honorable O. M. Critchfield, so favorably known as Speaker of the House of Delegate

Retaliation. A Charlottesville correspondent suggests, if the threat of confiscating Senator Mason's property in Philadelphia be carried out, that Monticello, the home and grave of Thomas Jefferson, now the property of Commodore Levy, of the Lincoln Navy, be appropriated by this State. If confiscation is to be begun, the South can play at the game as well as the North.

4th. Our last Court-day was a very dull one, and very little money changed hands. The case of Jno. C. Davison, for stealing a mule, was continued until the next term. The candidates for the Convention addressed the people. Chas. W. Friend presided over the meeting, and Edwin Williams acted as Secretary. During the absence of the committee charged with preparing resolutions, Dr. Jno. W. Walke addressed the people in favor of resistance. He declined becoming a candidate for the Convention. Mr. James H. Cox announced himself as a candidate. In case of the failure to obtain our rights in the Union, he was for a Southern Convention.--Messrs. W. W. Hancock and Joseph T. Mason also announced themselves as candidates.--The committee, on returning, made a lengthy and able report, on which action was deferred until the next meeting of our Court. The wheat is looking badly, owing to sharp frosts and heavy rains. Some of our farmers have filled their ice-houses. E. W.

It appears that the overseer had cause to punish the negro for some disobedience, and on ordering him into the barn, where he usually whipped them, the man peremptorily refused to obey. He furthermore told the overseer that it would take a better or stronger man than he was to make him go in the barn. He continued to use other insolent language to the overseer, and at the same time advanced upon him. Having his double-barrelled gun with him, loaded with bird shot, the overseer raised it to his shoulder and commanded the negro to stop; that if he advanced another step towards him he would shoot him. But the negro turned his side towards the overseer and quickened his pace upon him. The gun was fired, the whole load
