tion was well represented in that glorious victory. Greenbrier had two fine companies there--Captain Dennis' and Captain Brown's. Captain Dennis lost five men killed, and twelve or fifteen wounded. Captain Brown was wounded in the right hand. None of his men were hurt. Monroe and Alleghany counties had several companies in the contest, and a number were killed and wounded. Among the number killed was Captain Tiffany, of Monroe. The various companies mentioned composed a portion of the 27th Regiment, (Col Gordon,) which assisted in the capture of the famous Sherman battery. The forces composing Gen. Wise's Legion are now in this place under orders from the East. They were ordered from Charleston, and are encamped near town. How long they will remain here is unknown to the public.--The movement, no doubt, is a good one, and is intended for purposes known only to the War Department. A finer looking soldiery cannot be found than the Legion, taking the men as a body. Frank.

The crops. --In a recent trip through Russell, Scott, Lee and Wise, we took pains to inquire as to the prospect of the crops. Rye, Oats and Wheat are all harvested. The Wheat crop is represented to be one of the finest ever raised. The Rye is equally good, but the dry weather in June cut short the Oats: though generally well filled and heavy, the straw is short. The prospect for Corn is unusually fine. Having heard many conflicting reports from farmers in this county, we are unprepared to venture an opinion as to the general result.--Abingdon Dem.

Boxes unclaimed. --A kind and considerate gentleman passing by Weldon, North Carolina, a few days ago since, took the following list of unclaimed boxes lying in the store of D. G. Dricg at that place: One box of blankets to Colonel Lucius Davis, for Wise's Legion. From Clarksville to Richmond, Virginia. One box to J. W. Shinn, Garysburg, North Carolina. One box to B. Duke, Fifth Regiment North Carolina volunteers, care of Captain Perry, Yorktown. One large box to John A. Fleming, company E, Yorktown, Virginia, care of Captain McDowell, First Regiment North Carolina volunteers. One large box to P. A. Peoples, Winchester, care of Captain Williamson, Seventeenth Mississippi Regiment. And a few other small-sized boxes, supposed to contain provisions spoiled. Should this meet the eye of those who sent them, or those they are intended for, it will inform them of the delay, and may induce them to adopt some means of having them forwarded or returned.
