In making the following" appeal to yoo. Ibope
that I shall not be deemed guilty of unseemly
flolooinesa. par armies. In Virginia, I aw, be
yond quesiion, la;!great need of. supplies, 2!f
pecially dd thy require corn for cavalry and Am
tillerv horses, and neat for the soldiers. -J, The soil
of our county Jbai been to far uxi polluted by the
tread of a hvttileL foot, and we ooghtta previa,
to the fuU meaaare of our ability ; for the support
' of oor armr. which so far. under God has rri-'

atban:to be coming. wheav harvest,- which wilt
commence, 6ft the 2.0th of next June T We can
very safoli spare every grain of cornovervaad
bore ba ia necessary to carry' of to thie 1st" bf
July, Prhdence in ordinary times Ji notp'riji
dencenowf It is thecll m x of prudence to soi
tain our afmies. ' for, lf they are vaaqulabed bv
famine, the bounties of. summer and autumn will
enure to the beneflt of.our en amies, -and not to
.us, and our families. Ou crop of Irish, wetatoes
will be fit for use early ia "Junayand in July the
eartb will jveem with beeta, beana.peaa, and every
other vegubl. Even if Providence should de
ny to usj a bountiful wheat harvest, we have
other aafeguards against famine. Ah enormoua
crop of Indian oorn will be planted, and this may
be used tor bread by theJStn of September, alter
Vtag driest in the sun. Indeed it used to be a
common spying among us, that if the core would
ftftcb'wheat," that is, would hold out to wheat
harvest; that there waa no danger. Ii ia true -that
while tbe winter .oav in thie county, the last year,
was a magnificent crop, that sowed in the) Spring
was a faiturf' iv Is alo trae that while the wheat
Was of fair quality, thequaniHy was greatlrahbiit.
. Bui it ia equally true,' tuat the crop of corn, taking
all paru ot the county together, was a fall aver
age crop, t In an experience pf thirty years I am
sure that I have seen ten worse corn yeas, and
not telvf better. For our stock we shall have
tbe frutu of an cat crop by the 20th of Jane, t A
great breadth of lund has been sowed with winter
oats, and having grown this crop for the last ten
years, I have never once met witha failure. "IPFe

TORIES HUNG.
A letter from Jefferson, 'Ashe County, informs
us that a notorious tory named James Price, who
has caused a great deal of trouble in the Western
'part of Ashe County 1 was : caught 4aat weekoo-
gelher with two of his sons and one. of his ne
phews, and carried to Jefferson and delivered up
to Capu John Hartzog and some ten or twelve
privates who. were passing through the town in
. search of deserters. Capt. XL ordered the three
young men to be confined in jai and iiad old
Price, the father, carried out and hung. In the
afternoon both litisens and soldiers became so
much exasperated at the recital of the depreda
tions committed, by the ruthless gang that are
lurking in the mountains, that they proceeded .to
the jail and took out one of Price's tons, and bis
nephew and hung them also. C: '
