t the same time some twelve or more hirelings made off. A party of gentlemen from the vicinity of Fincastle succeeded in capturing six of them, five of whom are in our jail, and the other was shot. I am credibly informed that only a guard of four men had charge of the convicts. They were not manacled, or in any way secured against escape. Thus, by a dereliction of duty in your city, we have some 90 or 100 desperadoes turned loose in our county. At this time why not send the convicts on York River to aid in putting up batteries? They would be under a strong guard, and of service to the State. I have just learned that one convict and one slave were brought in and lodged in jail last night.

Virginians, next Thursday is to you the most momentous day that has ever dawned upon you. It is a day for weal or woe to you and your posterity. I feel as confident as I ever did of anything, that an overwhelming majority in favor of secession will not only effectually crush out that little detestable nest of Tories in the Pan-Handle, but will be
