eustai n -1 h eso n terjse3a u d4'rowit dow n
all attempts at importation imd republican
tion, the necessary books for our sohools
ean,..be produced at home.
The State Kducational Association has
thrown afound die enterprize all its-in-fiuence,
aud resolved repeatedly to dis
countenance and disown all teachers who
resort to any other source when suitable
books can be " furnished them, written ,
printed, and published at honfe.
, The external Appearance, of such books
must at present be poor and the cost high,
bi t the real friends of education will not
complain, knowing", as they do, that those
things can be miide better hereafter.
Let all strive together that our educational
independence may go hand iu hand with
our political stfuggle for freedom. D. ''

Washington, Kappahannock Co., Va.
Mr. Editor .With a trembling 'haud t wuu woras uraWD uasn impetuous
and aching, heart have I retired to my j speed m memory of the Knights of au-
lonely ctiamberiti fcelins of the deepest ! cieut days past Ocncral Lee, the gal
gloouV to inform- you of mie , of the most lan Stuart. .he "passes, giving a cut
f cruel deeds of tliis war. . On Saturday,
(he -24th of Sentember. I walked out a
short distance, from my dwelling, where
i iny husband had been busily engaged du
ring the day grindiug hi sugar cane. I
became so much interested that I had al-.
most forgottiu about- my little girl, who
I had. spent -the day from home. Night
fast approaching, 1 concluded i would
walk on a short distance aud meet her." 1
did so, meeting her asiiort distance from
my residence . . ' :
'. As I turned my steps homewards, I
heard the clattering of horses' "-i feet., T
-looked arouud the road, and the fields
were coveied with Yankees, . riding in
great haste in the direction of my house,
i quickened my step, knowing tbt they
had robbed me last silmmer, while absent
from home, of a great deal my clothing
and my little child's, aod the most of my
table ware. 1 walked iu great haste, and
as I approached the house, oU the scene,
can I ever forget ? There stood my hus
band iu the midst, with his uplifted arm
to catch the blows that; these demon likel
faes so heartily enjoyed. I rushed to their money about as if they bad unlim
his slide,- fearless of all" danger. I asked I ited credit 011 the Confederate Treasury,
them why it was r that they were treating mfxamincr::
my husband ' so cruel a nannerj that-j
he. was exempt from military duty .by
law. They heeded not a word I would
say; evemhe pleading ot my little one
availed nothing.-
Seeing that iny pleading and my Httle
child s had no elfect, that they" then in-
ffarrlf.rl Kirrnriff 'Imn ffp " T i .-t- t.

turned to my husband, and told him if
s- sjuaLicc is not uoneyouon cann, HTWouidjnow beincr introduced into 31ontrcal lor
id bo "iq the , world to come. The A'ankce
being infuriated at my few' words of coa
sokitioa -o my husband, immediately drew
his pistol, and placing it to my breast,
told me a d d secesh, if I did not go io
i the house, he would blow -my brains out.
KAs I turned, the rufiiap deliberately shot
ptij husband, who fell at my feet. -
After the horrible affair was done, they J
immediately placed out pickets, to arre'st
any one who might aid the helplessness
of my condition or Telieve my dying hus-. ,

The Enemy in the Valley. -The Stauu

A few days ago he made a descent upon ;

A grand review of ' two Divisions 4
Hampton's and m Fitzliugli Jice's of
StjniTt's -cavalry, took place Thursday in
alarge field near Brandy Station, t ho
spectacle represented being nlorc iff pos ing,-than
the review of infantry, had some
time since at Orange Court-IIousc1

front and rear of the-extensive lines of
horses aud ImcnPamFnich coniing back to
; the General's stand point, the two Divis
ions passed in review before him, the
men presenting a ood. appearance, and
the horses, considering the service they
have lately undergone looking rcmirka
bly well. But the grandest feature of
the day vaa still to come off, for iren'cral
j Stuart desiring to s how the knowledge
that this branch of our service ha4 gain. ;
ed in their many encounters witli the en
emy, ordered the column to pass a second
tilne in front ."of. General Lee. As tho
head of the column arrived within a civ-

Charleston Mercury says that there in
whisper about charges being preferred
against the Coiilederate agent in Lnglanu

be a Northern man. A clue to the affair
is, that he. is charged with living at the

This is nothing. Tliere are quarter
masters and clerks in Richmond,; whose
salaries are but fifteen hundred doll irs,
IU ing at the rates of fifty thousand dol
lars a year. They-think nothing of pay
ing three hundred dollars for a supper or-
a couple of thousaiid for a gold watch. .
