Vandalism. --Among the mean acts lately perpetrated by the Yankees in Moorefield, Hardy county, Va., was the desecration of the resting place of the family of Geo. C. Harness, dec'd. Those vandals went to the cemetery and destroyed a beautiful monument erected by Col. Harness, the son of Mr. Geo. Harness. It bore the simple inscription, "Our Father and Mother," yet that was though to cause its destruction, as it covered the remains of the parents of a child who is true to his country and to the instincts of patriotism.

them, either commercial or social. The Yankees, with their accustomed eagerness to drive a trade, have offered to sell their coffee at five cents a pound, and they would not touch it! This is the true spirit of endurance, of self-denial, and it is touching the Yankee in the only raw spot of his callous character. It is, in fact, defeating him in the whole object of the war, which is nothing more nor less than to compel the South to trade with him. We commend this example of the people of Hardy to the whole South. Let not the Yankees have reason to calculate on our self-indulgence and love of ease. Let the Southern people resolve, whenever so unfortunate as to be overrun by the enemy, never to buy anything of him. An army of a hundred thousand men could not annoy and foil him more completely. Let our people resolve to adhere to their simple beverages, and to wear their old clothes, and to look upon that man as a hollow recreant to patriotism and principle, who, for the sake of a

A fine company of light artillery and infantry had started from Smithfield, isle of Wight county, to participate in the fight, but learning that the above orders had been given they returned: The three gunboats then moved up the river eight miles to the fort on Hardy's Buff, and at 11 o'clock the guns at this fort opened fice, which was returned by the boats continually until 2 o'clock. After firing over 200 rounds of shell and rifle, they passed up the river out of range of the guns at the fort, we having fired the first and last gun.

It seems that the Monitor and Galena were the only vessels of the squadron able to run past all the lower fortifications of the rebels on Dog's Point and at Hardy's Bluffs, which is fifteen miles above Newport News, and all the way up to Fort Darling, eight miles below Richmond, where they found the channel effectively blockaded, as stated in a previous dispatch. On arriving in range of the guns of Fort Darling, which is situated upon an elevation of two hundred feet above the water surface, the further progress of the two iron clads up the river was therefore prevented, and that of the remainder of the fleet stopped at points below.

Hardy county. "All quiet in Hardy," is the latest report we receive from this mountain county of Virginia, and no Lincoln troops nearer than Romney, where there is but one company of cavalry, and a small force at New Creek Station, for the protection of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

There still exists considerable Union sentiment in the western part of the county, around Moorefield, and between that place and Franklin, Pendleton county; but it is stated that some misguided men have expressed a desire to get back to the Confederate side, and that the loyal Southern element is on the increase. A splendid harvest has been saved, and the growing corn looks well. Since Robertson's cavalry visited Hardy and broke up a band of Lincoln soldiers, the people have been in better spirits, and now look for an early deliverance from the dangers and difficulties that have surrounded them. A mail route is to be established between Moorefield and New Market.
