Thus died as brave a man as any I ever saw upon any battle-field.
He really seemed not to know what danger was. A daguerreotype of a sweet babe, which I took from his pocket, spoke to my heart in words more touching than poetry.
God bless that baby and its mother — the wife and child of a brave man and a patriot; and oh. Father, if they have Thy blessing, who on earth can add to their happiness and peace?
Yours, A. B. C.

Under the protection and guidance of a most gracious God, our army, under the gallant General Loring have marched in triumphant victory into this rich and fertile valley, leaving the "Narrows," in Giles county.
Our march was uninterrupted until near Fayette Court-House.
There we encountered the enemy under General Lightburn, most powerfully entrenched.
Our brave boys faced their cannons' months with veteran daring, fighting from about 2 o'clock until night clo

Affairs in the Kanawha valley — Sale of Salt.
--A letter in the Lynchburg Republican, from Charleston, Kanawha county, Va., dated the 2d instant, says Gen. Loring is still at that place.
It adds:
The Yankees made a dash on Gen. Jenkins's command, a few days ago at Buffalo, supposing he was happing.
The attack was make early in the morning by some 500 cavalry and infantry, while the valley was covered with fog. They approached close enough to be seen, when Gen J. let loose upon them with a howitzer, which scattered them like chaff.
Our forces pursued them about 9 miles, but owing to the dense fog, thought it prudent to stop pursuit, for fear of falling into an ambush.--Recruiting is progressing very rapidly, many of the old infantry companies having been filled already, and cavalry companies forming without number.
It is reported that our cavalry have three steamboats blockaded at the mouth of the river, or near Guyandotte.
The Yankees run them aground on the opposit
inted, and referred to the Committee of Courts of it then.
A communication from the Examiner, commanding an appropriation for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers of Virginia in the C. S. Army, was ordered to be printed and referred to the Committee on Military Affairs.

The boat is about to leave, so that I must close.
The raid in Northwestern Virginia.
The Wheeling Intelligencer, of Saturday, has the following:
The rebels had got as near Parkersburg yesterday evening as Petroleum and were still on their road.
They will reconnoitre that place and see what they can do. Failing to see a good chance to go into town they will turn off to the left and strike out into the Wirt and Kanawha county.
It is said they have captured great quantities of horses and cattle and other booty.
So also has the other column that was left around Weston, and which is now reported to be moving off into Gilmer and Braxton.
We hope that Gen. Roberts will be able to show that he has been of some earthly account thus far. There is a feeling of indignation that our military have been utterly powerless in the hands of this raid, and have actually been as much despised as so many men in buckra
