We embrace this opportunity --one not having previously offered itself — to unite with the people generally in ascribing to Governor Peirpoint a most commendable disposition to render the situation of our people as tolerable as circumstances will allow; to consult the general good, in his official acts, the public wishesGovernor Peirpoint a most commendable disposition to render the situation of our people as tolerable as circumstances will allow; to consult the general good, in his official acts, the public wishes in his appointments, and, in a word, to put a glove upon the mailed hand of war which now holds us in its grasp. We can say of his administration, as General Grant says of the conduct of the people of the Southern States, that "it is much better than could reasonably have been expected."

aring attempt to kill Mr. Edward Cloyd, a respectable citizen, residing in the vicinity of Branchville. Some unknown persons went to his house in the night, during his absence, and set fire to his stable. It was soon discovered by the servants on the premises, one of whom ran out in order to put out the fire and save the building. He was fired on, and deemed it prudent to return to his quarters. Another then went out, and he was also fired on by the depredators. Neither, however, sustained any injury, the balls having missed their marks. It is surmised by the neighbors that it was the intention of the desperadoes to kill Mr. Cloyd. Both of his horses were lost. We advise the citizens of Southampton to hold a public meeting, and send a committee to Richmond, to Governor Peirpoint, and request that they be permitted to raise a company of one hundred men, or more if necessary, for the purpose of protecting themselves against a repetition of such outrages.--Norfolk Virginian.
