. Capt. Yancey, in his address, speaking of his command, said "some are sick and have good excuse, but for the other men who are not present, we leave them in the care of the ladies of Rockingham, whom I feel assured will protect them and take care that they do not get hurt. Old Rockingham has done exceedingly well, sending over 800 men to the field. Two of the strongest "Union men" in the Convention were her representatives. Last Monday an affray took place at Dayton, in which Mr. Rhoer had his skull badly injured. He is an ardent Secessionist, was in his store conversing on the all-engrossing theme, and in speaking of some men, remarked, "they are only those who have been egged. " A man, named Blakemore, having gone through that interesting process, took the remark as personal, picked up a heavy weight and threw it at Mr. R. The man was brought here and committed to jail. Two men were killed the other night, by the cars running over them at Edinburg, Shenandoah.

Harris addressed them in a very fine and warlike speech. A fair friend of mine is desirous of devoting her services to her country as a nurse in the Confederate Army. Will you be kind enough to say to whom she must offer her services? Is there no philanthropic Southern women to place herself at the head of such a department? The weather is exceedingly cool to-day. Mr. Rhoer, whom I spoke of in my last, has since died. Blakemore, the man who killed him, was not brought to jail, as I stated. He made his escape, and is supposed to have gone North, a fitter place for such characters. De Leon.
