Wm., H. Moozh, Geo. Sohoppert, Matthew Gemmell, Isaac James, Wm., D. Seal, James Holt, Chas. Holt, Thos. Newman. Enclosed please find $8, sent you for the relief of the Elizabeth City soldiers by the above armorers.

The soldiers of Elizabeth City, we are glad to see, are not forgotten. We have notice of a box by express, from Mrs. Sallie R. Holiday, of Louisa, containing twenty-one pairs of socks and three blankets for the "Hampton soldiers."

s in thickness. He expresses the opinion that the rays of the sun had not visited that hollow "since the flood." I am able to lay before your readers some interesting facts in reference to affairs in Kentucky. The status of the enemy shall first engage my attention. Zeigler, with a force amounting to two thousand, is at Catlettsburg, at the mouth of the Big Sandy. Laban T. Moore, who represented Kentucky in the Federal Congress last year, is at the head of about eight hundred men at Louisa. These troops, I learn from a gentleman just from that section of the State, are in a deplorable condition of ill-health. Gen. Buell and Gen. Roussean, the latter of whom was some time since reported to have resigned in consequence of falling health, backed by an army of sixty thousand men, are a place called Camp Nevin, but whose proper name is Camp Nolin, on the main Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and distant from Bowling Green 32 miles This large army is said to be in good figh

A daring robbery in Louisa. --The Richmond correspondent of the Petersburg Express, writing under date of Saturday last, communicates the following particulars of a daring outrage recently perpetrated in the county of Louisa: Intelligence of a bold and daring robbery, committed in the county of Louisa, has reached me through a source entirely reliable. The house of an old gentleman, a bachelor, living about twelve miles from the Court-House, named Garland Simms, was entered at a late hour by a party of men in disguise, who first went to the negro quarters and secured all the slaves on the place. The door of the dwelling was opened by a blow from an axe, and the old man seized while in bad and choked until insensible. They then proceeded to search for money, and obtained about eighty dollars in silver, which was found in an old trunk. Falling to find any more money, of which there was an abundance in the house, they left. Mr. Simms had a large quantity of specie conceale

d at Camp Robertson, which circumstance speaks well for the 56th The men were genial without being boisterous, merry without madness, and dignified without dejection. As the last rays of the sun fell on the adjacent mountain ranges, capped with snow, while the valley below them could boast of none, a scene of indescribable beauty met the eye. It presented the appearance of a splendid, surging sea of molten gold! A dispatch from General Marshall, dated Dec. 22nd, to which I am permitted to have access by the popular and accommodating Quartermaster of the 56th Regiment, Dr. R. B. Patterson, reads as follows,--"The enemy in front at Louisa in large force--fifteen hundred Cavalry, and seven Regiments of Infantry and Artillery--thirty two miles from me. An army is collecting to drive me and intends to advance at once I am informed." As a consequence of this dispatch, there is considerable bustle in the Quartermaster's Department, and horses are being impressed rapidly. Occasional.

ters to you; but, being cut off from civilization, cannot say whether or not they were published. I have seen but one or two numbers of your paper since I left home, and they were forwarded to me by a special messenger. We advanced from Pikeville to Prestonsburg, and finding that the regiment, or rather the half brigade, could not be subsisted at that place, our General (Marshall) ordered us forward to Paintville, the county seat of Johnson county. This place is but thirty-two miles above Louisa, where it is reported the Yankees are in large force. We arrived at Paintville four days before Christmas, and remained until Christmas day. During our stay there we were kept constantly on our guard by the frequent reports that the enemy were advancing. At day light on Christmas morning a messenger arrived at headquarters with the news that five thousand Yankees, composed of infantry, cavalry, and twelve pieces of artillery, were advancing and were driving our pickets in.

Mrs. Thompson is a devoted Southern lady, and successfully escaping from the land of tyranny, recently arrived in safety here, where she has been much afflicted by the death of a gallant son who fell in the late battle at Allegheny mountain. She has yet another son in the service of the South. Dr. White, a lawyer of distinction, was a partner with Mr. Joseph H. Pendleton, a native of Louisa, who some time since removed to the Northwest, and was a successful practitioner in the Courts of Wheeling and adjoining counties at the time of the national disturbances, when he had to fly for safety from the reign of terror in that city to his native county. Dr. White, although an avowed Secessionist, remained in Brooke county until recently. He was often threatened by the mob, and was constantly watched with great vigilance as a dangerous person. He contrived, however, to elude the sh
