t them out of town! Now they go with large and helpless families, they know not whither. Many have passed whom I did not know. What is to become of us all? Chantilly, June 1, 1861. We came here (the house of our friend Mrs. S.) this morning, after some hours of feverish excitement. About three o'clock in the night we werecattered. Colonel Gregg and others of a South Carolina regiment dined here yesterday. They are in fine spirits, and very sanguine. June 6, 1861. Still at Chantilly. Every thing quiet, nothing particularly exciting; yet we are so restless. Mrs. C. and myself rode to the camp at Fairfax Court-House a day or two ago to see mhe officers will not allow it to be done, and try to rest contented. The Briars, June 12, 1861. We are now in the beautiful Valley of Virginia, having left Chantilly on the 8th. The ride through the Piedmont country was delightful; it looked so peaceful and calm that we almost forgot the din of war we had left behind us. The

Our son J. arrived last night with quite a party, his health greatly suffering from over-work in Richmond during these exciting times. Ore now snugly fixed in Ashland. Our mess consists of Bishop J. and family, Major J. and wife, Lieutenant J. J. and wife (our daughter,) Mrs. S. and daughter, of Chantilly, Mr.--, myself, and our two young daughters — a goodly number for a cottage with eight small rooms; but we are very comfortable.

63. Weather dark and cloudy. We had a good congregation in our little church. Mr.-- read the service. The Bishop preached on Repentance. Richmond was greatly shocked on Friday, by the blowing up of the Laboratory, in which women, girls, and boys were employed making cartridges; ten women and girls were killed on the spot, and many more will probably die from their wounds. May God have mercy upon them! Our dear friend Mrs. S. has just heard of the burning of her house, at beautiful Chantilly. The Yankee officers had occupied it as Headquarters, and on leaving it, set fire to every house on the land, except the overseer's house and one of the servants' quarters. Such ruthless Vandalism do they commit wherever they go I expressed my surprise to Mrs. S. that she was enabled to bear it so well. She calmly replied, God has spared my sons through so many battles, that I should be ungrateful indeed to complain of any thing else. This lovely spot has been her home from her marriag
