en thousand dollars from their honors. This, in addition to tour thousand voted by our March Court, and the liberal donations of private individuals, will swell the sum, so far, in the cause of Southern Independence, to twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars. This speaks well for Cid Wythe, and I am satisfied her munificence will not cease until every Black Republican renegade and tory is driven from the last inch of Southern soil. The offer of services by the Rev. Oscar A. Sears, of Lynchburg as Chaplain to the army of Virginia, has given great satisfaction to our Catholic fellow citizens of this county, as his ability, patriotism, and plenty eminently entitles him to the consideration of the Government, who is no doubt aware of the large number of Catholics in the Southern army, whose religious as well as military feelings should be consulted and provided for with as little delay as possible. Mr. Sears' conduct is in striking contrast with the course pursued by the Catholic c

A Northern Abolitionist named J. B. Lips, who defied public sentiment and fired into a crowd in St. Francis, Ark, was shot at by the party, and sixty balls entered his body. Mexican news by the steamer arrived at Havana, confirms the report that Dorado had been beaten by those active partisans of the Church party, Mejia and Marquez.

nty has been up and a-doing. The volunteers of the county have been drilling, while the ladies and citizens have been busy making up clothes, canteens, cups, knapsacks, &c., for them. On last Friday orders came for the volunteers to repair to Lynchburg as soon as practicable. This caused still more activity on the part of the citizens; and oil-cloth for knapsacks having given out, carriage curtains, table and piano covers, &c., were put in requisition, and to-day the last knapsack for the Mountain Rifles was completed, and on day after to-morrow (Wednesday) they will leave for Lynchburg. They unmoor about one hundred men, most of whom are from childhood accustomed to the use of the rifle, and can put out a squirrel's eye as far as they can see it. The Blue Ridge Rifles, (eighty men,) of the same county, and of like material, will leave with them for the same place. The Roaring Run Rifles, another splendid company from this county, about 70. men, expect to leave for the

must deal with facts, however disagreeable or unwelcome, and not with fancies. What, then, is likely to be the issue of the threatened invasion of Virginia by the U. S. Government? To be effectual at all, this invasion must be made from three points — viz, from Alexandria via Culpeper and Greenville to Richmond, overland. From the Chesapeake via the York River to the same city, and from Harper's Ferry or the Point of Rocks, up the Valley of Virginia, to Staunton, Charlottesville and Lynchburg; the force thus employed to co-operate, as circumstances may require, with the other divisions of the grand Army. To oppose such invading forces, Gen. Lee, as I have the best reasons for believing, will place troops at West Point on the York River, 27 miles below Richmond, with large reserves between West Point and that city.--A large force will also contest the entrance of the State at Harper's Ferry on the Point of Rocks, as the case may be, and another at Alexandria.

onvicts. 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. To morrow the Botetourt Dragoons, Capt. Pitzer, leave for Lynchburg. Already Botetourt has nobly done her duty, having now five companies in service. Our old correspondent "Dyke" (who has turned soldier) writes a gratifying account of the war spirit in New Kent county. He says: New Kent has responded nobly to the call for troops. Two companies have already been mustered into service, the New Kent Rifles, under command of Capt. James Richardson, and the Pamunkey Guards, (artillery,) commanded by Capt. Robert T. Ellett. The former will compar
