" ficiently intelligent for self-government," I called upon the yillage postmaster, who showed me with some pride a -fine croj of ' tobacco. growing upon a mountain sidp so steep that agoat would have trouble to scram- bio up.it. He had ftlso, between the road 1 ; and tbe river, a strip of land, a 'few yrda wide, on which there was a crop of remarka bly tall corn, 1 with two ears on .-acli stalk. The postmaster said there wero many people iuthis region who where loyal during the War, and who had been, as a natural consequence, thorough going Republicans ever since. There: was a settlemeut onLaurell Creek! 12 miles from Marshall, he said, where every nan was a Republican. Tho Laurel Creek Valley was isolated among the mountains' and oduld bo reached ouly by bridle-paths.

The company melted awfay as soon as it got -to the field, soma of tho members getting through the Rebel lines aud enlisting on the Union side, and others return ing home. . Those who returned remained fn molested by the Confederate authorities for some time, but a force of cavalry was finally; sent to! capture them, t Thirteen inen were' surprised and taken in their houses: and were marched into a ravine and all shot. Tho mi r der of tliese then was known as, the Xautel massacre. .
