Parched corn.
--Valuable information for Gaevillas.--Several years ago we traveled in a stage with the Hon. David Hubbard, of North Alabama, who served throughout the Seminole War, and with his unerring rifle killed many redskins; from him we derived the following information, which we publish for the benefit of those who may be about embarking in guerilla warfare, and our soldiers generally, when provisions are scarce or cannot with convenience be transported in sufficient quantity.

--A correspondent informs us that William Nelson Smith, whose remains lie buried upon the battle-field of Manassas, was a grandson of Governor Page, of revolutionary memory.
He was a native of Yorktown, Va., but for thirty-six years had resided in Alabama.

The soil in which he is buried was probably, in other years, owned by his family.
