ocessions with music paraded our streets. A large number of houses were illuminated. The enterprising proprietress of the Trout House had every window of the building--" from ground to garret"--brilliantly lighted up. The negroes joined in the general manifestations of joy at the event, and hurrahs quite enthusiastically for "Ole Virginny." Altogether, our people were more generally enthused than they have been for many years; and the demonstrations were kept up to a late hour. The Augusta (Ga.)

Blodget and his company will be heard of with honor in this war. They will be ready to respond to their orders in about ten days. In this connection, we cannot refrain from noticing the generous conduct of one of our citizens, who is not the man to blazon his good deeds to the world.
