Daughters, I have been trying to close, but other thoughts come into my mind, and I say that I cannot neglect the right and due honors that justly belong to the ladies of the different States and counties as we came on to Virginia, where we could see at almost every house and plantation little girls and ladies, full-grown and aged, raising their flags for independence and waving their handkerchiefs, with huzzas for Jeff. Davis; and all the boxes of clothing was marked in large letters, ladies' work. It appears they have formed societies to work for the good of the South; and there is so much patriotism among them that they would receive arms and take the ranks if their friends were willing. I now close by saying such a Republic never can be conquered by the ungrateful and dishonest Yankees. Farewell, my daughters, John Trussell.

The hardy sons of Pocahontas manifest a willingness and determination to drive the foe from Virginia's own sacred soil that can never prove abortive.--Their unerring rifles have sent many of the thieves to their long homes; and at present, Mr. Yankee, deeming discretion the batter part of valor, is careful to keep within his own lines. The nights are growing cool, and our blankets are consequently very comfortable. I could give you a correct statement of the number of troops here, and the quantity of Jeff. Davis' thunder, were it prudent to do so; but at present it is our policy to its low and keep dark until the day of conflict comes, when, by the help of a just God, Gen. Jackson, and our own strong arms, we expect to give you an account of another "panic," and another "race" toward-- not Dixle's, but Yankees' land. The paymaster is here, and we are being rapidly paid off. J. L. H.
