• i{i:iu:Lno.n. ' From the Richmond Enquii .u O About the first of the present month Sheridan; with between six and ten thous and men, started on a raid up the '\ alley, visiting S'aunton unopposed, and cross ed the Blue Ridge at Rockfish Gap, op posed by Early and some fifteen hundred men. The opposition was fruitless, how ever, our forces being almost surrounded by overwhelming numbers, and over a thousand captured. The enemy then en tered Charlottesville unopposed. The following letter givesan interestingsketch of the occupation of that place: CHARLOTTESVILLE, March 0. Nf.'.frt. E'lliturn: Tho Yankee army five thousand strong, entered this place on Friday, at two o'clock p m., the 3d instant, unopposed Tho .Mayor aud the civil authorities of th* corporation met the enemy on a hill southwest of the University rotunda, where the town was surrendered by the Mayor, and protec tion to private property guaranteed by the Yankees to the citizens ayd to the authorities of tho Uifiversity. At first five horsemen, withdrawn pistols,*Vode up to the flag of tiuce, and then immedia tely galloped to town, then ■ followed six others and then General Custer, surroun dedbya dozen or twenty men, bearing Confederate flags captured from the ie feated and routed troops of Gen Early; then followed the cutire column through the Main street to the front of the Bap tist Female Institute. All thestores were closed, aifd the windows of the houses were generally blinded, and but for tho rabble of negroes and mean, low-bred while women on the streets, everything indicated a dead and buried city. Soon after the arrival of the invaders, guards were placed at every street crossing along the line of march. Gen. Men itt's head quarters were established at Mis. B. H. Shackelford's, and Gen. Sheridrn's at Mils Elizabeth Cole's; tho signal corps at Mr. J. Cochrane':-, an interview was held between the Mayor and Kev. 1 >r. Broaddus nnd Fen. Custer, when the lat ter assured these gentlemen that every necessary protection should be given to private property. At the close of the day the Mayor and Aldermen were sent for at the headquarters of Gen. Merritt, nnd requests to procure corn nnd forage to supply the horses of the invaders, and delivered to theiu at their camps. 1 uless this was done, an order to search the premises of the citizen* would have to be made. The civil aiflhorities promised to make inquiries among the citizens to as certain how much of tho articles required they had on band, the General saying when be needed them he would send bis wagons for the articles. Four hundred bushels of corn belonging to our Govern ment were: found at Cochran's mill, and a few hundred bushels of wheat belonging to private persons were found and taken possession of. Vt night the farms around Charlottesville were covered with cavalry, presenting a sad picture to the eyes of our citizens. In town quiet prevailed during the night, except the noise of passing troops as new detachments arrived. Out of tho town depredations and thieving were car ried on at all places whore the occupants had failed to procure private guards which had .been given to ad who reques ted it. On Saturday morning in the out skirts of the town disorder began to pre vail; stores broken into and robbed, pri vate houses entered and searched; but these were stopped by the orders and in terference of officers, and during the stay j of the army the discipline was rigid and : severe, and very little damage was done, and private houses were free from inter, ruption from soldiers, and, were private guards were given, no soldier dared enter the bouse without u special written per mission from general headquarters. The i farmers, however, were not protected in their property and provisions; everything eatable for man and beasts was consumed, and acts of atrocity and meanness were committed. Threat* of vengeance were mado to ladies, in order to get their watches; tho wretches held pistols to their heads to intimidate them and compel them to give up their property. These yid similar acts were done for ten miles east of Charlottesville, as far down as the enemy ventured togo Scouting aud , robbing "parties were sent out in all direc tions «>n Saturday and Sunday, plunder ing as they went. The slaves were not ! exempt from plunderings. Whenever one had any gold or silver it was shurc to bo stolen by these pretended negro wor shipers. On Saturday and Sunday all the able bodied negro men were pressed into the Yankee service to destroy the iron railroad bridges, and on Sunday even ing the wood trestle work ot these bridges was burned and are now a heap of ruins. The county freo bridge was burned on Monday morning. Monticello would have boen burned bail not the wife of the present occupant been sick. '1 he van dals threatened to destroy it en their next visit. A raiding party that went down to within two miles of the Hon. W. C. itives threatened to burn his house al so. Gruin, forage, provisions nnd horses were taken off the farms, iu some instan ces leaving not a particle to feed the cat tle with, yet generally the hogs, cows, ox fixt. sheep and fowls were not disturbed. In some instances a hog, or a beef, or u sheep was killed, but uonewere wantonly destroyed. On Friday night the factory of Mr. Mar chant was destroyed. Ou Monday that of Mr. Flannagan was also destroyed, and ali the factories within their leachsh&red a simitar fate. On Sunday evening some of the Yankee army determined to publish a paper, and went to the Chronicle office to effect the r design, but por tions of the press hud been removed with the type, and they were unable to do so. They then took possession of the Jcfferso-niiui office, nnd com menced operations, and after pro gressing for awhile suddenly quit, say ing they might resume their object .next day; but orders had been issued to move off by six o'clock next day, and no further operations for the is sue of their paper were resumed Enclosed I send a copy of such arti cles a* were left, in type by tl»e Yan kces. *No damage was done to the type or fixtures of either of the print ing officea in the place. On Monday morning, soon after light, thd drum? wore heard and tho troops were seen marching down the main street evacuating the town. Large numbers of negroes mounted on stolen horses were seen going off with the Yankees ; women with little children in their arms, seemed as,ea ger to be off as tie men. The Yan kees did not like to be troubled with them, and if report be true, they will not be troubled with them f*or any great length of time, for they are sure to find an early grave. Some of the" Yankees cursed the negroes, tell ing them that they had better stay where they were, for they were far better off, and much better provided for with their masters than they would be with the army. One of the officers at Mr. W. T. Fjcklin'S said it was not the love of the negro that induced them to take away ibe slaves but it"was to prov-nt agricultural op erations from being earried on, this being the most effectual means of bringing the rebellion to an end. While the Yankee army was in Charlottsville they circulated reports j that Lynchburg was captured, Rich- j mond evacuated, kc., but none but weak headed and weak kneed persona gave credance to any such such sto-j ries. They said there were 15,000 j cavalry with them, but 6,000 would cover all the had. (Jens. Sheridan, Custar, Merritt, and Forsy'Ji were with the ivaders. If there were oth er Generals I have not heard their names. On leaving the town they separated into four columns, tak'ng as many different directions. One of the columns went to Scoftsvill, de stroying the factory there and tho canal. Yours, MONTTCKI.LO. Ofllcinl front 4*oll. Ciraut, WAH PKPAKTMK.NT, WASHINGTON-, March 1 <>—i):Bo R. M.

Gen. j The l'rencli Mission. Some surpris has been expressed that this important mission was nut filled pre- I viously to the adjournment of tho Sen ate. We understand that it was tender ed to dames Gordon Bennett, Esq., of this city, but declined by him mainly on the groflnd that he could lie of nioro ser vice in extricating our country Irom her present difficulties at liomc than abroad. Since l?enjamin Franklin—in every sense our first Embassador to France—we do not remember that an editor has till now been designated for that post, which demands in its incumbent a full and inti mate knowledge of our own and of Eu ropean politics, a ripe general experience, and a special familiarity with the charac- j tcr and career respectively of the leading statesmen of Europe. Thes<> qualifica tions, we presume, dictated the selection of the veteran editor of the Herald. We may I sere mention, as an interest ing incident, that Mr. Bennett met the present Emperor of France at a private dinner party in London just before the fall of Louis Philippe; when, the con versation turning on the condition of at' fairs in France, Mr. Bennett rem irked that he had observed that almost the en tire French pre°s was then opposing the (iovernment. The remark made such an impression on Louis Napoleon that he sub sequently recalled tho subject, and a.sktd Mr. Bennet what inference he drew from the lact above noted. Mr. Bonnet repli ed that, in the United States, such an at titude of the press would forecast an ap proaching transfer of political power.— The events which soon followed proved this inference equally sound with regard to France.—AT Y.

In New Hampshire the, annual election has gone the same way, electing a Republican Governor, and Legislature, also, the whole delegation to Congress; this is a gain of on» member. Thus the people have renewed their pledges to the Uniotr and humanity. Rid" So far as heard from, the election passed off quietly in this county, on Fri day last. The result, we believe, is sat isfactory to thfe Republicans—in Penn, wheie from the liberal number of Repub licans gone into service it was thought more than Rkely that the opposition would gain the day—tho Union ticket was elec ted by an average majority of from 'J to 13; Good for Penn. I'osfiiiiister. ' The election of Postmaster, on Satur day afternoon, passed off very quietly.— Pretty general interest was felt and mani fested. There were two hundred and 4/> votes polled—Mr. Miller received a ma jority of the whole vote—this was not to bo wondered at. Mr. Miller is one of out oldest citizens; five of bis sons bad serv ed their country in the army, three of them for the full term of three years—all with credit to themselves, and, doubtless, service to their country. The popular announcement in favor of their father was but a fitting though feeble testimo nial to them. We presume Mr. Miller will have tie result properly forwarded. ©oy* Wo have receivnd a communica tion from the army, strongly censuring tho School Directors for levying a tax on the property of soldiers. The witter requests us to publish it, but as it is not j is;:ned by the person who wrote it, and j as the writer is unknown to us, as also ' the person who signs it, we don't feel at : liberty to publish it. The more so as it i is not gotten up in very respectful lan-; guage, nor can you tell from its mailing ! where the wrong complained of has been I committed by the directors referred to.— i We know that the School Directors have i a hard titne of it, endeavoring to please ' every body, and after ali likely to please no body. While we thus decline to pub lish this communication, should any one : known to us, wish through these co.umus to examine the action of any School board in the discharge of their official duty, we will give them a hearing We trust too, that those intrusted with the responsible duties iinbraccd in our several bounty laws, will so discharge these duties as to give as little room for complaint as possi ble. Jftf We would advise our readers to ; examine the card of Mr. John Wagley, j in another column of our paper. The j machine for which he is agent, is one of the best iu use. This we can say, from personal knowledge, having had one of them iu use, in our family, for nearly four years—no family should be without one Mrs. Bowman will represent the agent in his absence. Let all wishing to procure a good substantial sewing machine, call at once and examine them for themselves. Mrs. Lowmao has also procured the agency for " Dalton's Family and Manu facturing Knitting Machines." We saw thismachiue perform wonders a few even ings since—it is certainly one of the won ders of t)pu age. From its appearance we should suppose thfe machine, in the hands of a good operator would torn off a pair of socks in fifteen minutes. All kiudsof knitting can be done to" order. Call and see it. Volunteering. By a recent order of Provost Marshal General Fiy, the time for raising inde pendent companies iu this state is extend ed to the 21st inst., the draft, it is said, is not to be postponed however. Still we don't believe that the draft will take place so long as any progress is being made at volunteering. It seems to us that should any good man in the centre or north-eastern part of the county un dertake it, he would have no trouble iu getting up a company. Tliig would not ouly be creditable to the locality but would enable that part of the county to j avoid the draft. Those subject to draft i cannot, under existing laws, go outside j of their iub-district to volunteer. We have no doubt that young men enough would be found in almost every Township who Would prefer volunteering for a mod erate bounty, of frotn three to four hund red dollars, rather than pe drafted. We believe that nearly two-thirds of our* county is clear of the draft. Nothing would rejoice us more, (except the fall of Richmond, 1 ) than to be able to announce to our neighboring counties, that Mr. Draft had no claims on us. AK Mv cobbebpoideiicE CAMP OP THE OTH PA. HEAVY ART'Y, FORT ETHAN ALLEN, VA., March Bth, 1865. MR FMTOR : —One thing that induo cd me to wiite at present, was the notice of a communication in your issue of the 22nd inst., from one of your correspond ents from tbe army, over the signature of " 1!," in which there was an allusion to Ihe Butler county boys in Battery A, & B, of this Regiment. Mv exposition of this,' when I read it. was that all the But ler county boys in the Regiment, were in Buttery A, &B. 1 would beg leave to inform Mr. "R,"® that there are about 40 representatives of Butler county, in Hat tery D, of the oth Pa. 11. A., all in fine condition, and, if they are not so con spicuous in the eyes of your worthy cor respondent. I am very happy to inform you that we have been more peculiarly favored in the way of receiving your pa per than our worthy friend. Some unknown friend has been send ing us your paper regularly, for which we now return our thanks. I have no particular news to write at present. The all absorbing question with I us for the past three months has been: | when will we be payed off? It was tin- j ly amusing to be iu camp, and hear the varied expression of the boys. Whenev- j er a vehicle of any kind, or a person of any description, (if it should be an old la dy with a basket of cakes,) wculd come into camp, some one would shout, "yon der comes the I'nt/master ; fall in for your Greenbttiks." Another one would say, "that is not him"—that wo would not bo paid off this three months; another that a certain officer had told him that "we would be paid off next week, &o.; but the long looked for came at last, and pay {(iiig ((iieslioiis H:I«! All - Mwers relative to tiae 7.30 11. 8. ! ILoan. MR. JAY COOKE, ol l'hiladelphia, who I for so loijg, A T'NIE had the management I of the popular 500 million 5.20 Loan, has ! just been appointed by SECRETARY FEH SENDEN, tbe GENERAL AOENT, to dis pose of TUE ONLY POPULAR LOAN NOW offered for sale by the Government, viz. : the "SEVEN THIRTY." 111 entering upon the duties lie desires to answer plainly the large number of questions daily and hourly propounded to him, so that his fellow countrymen may all understand what this "Seven Thirty- Loan" is —what are its peculiar merits, — how they can subscribe tor or obtain the notes, See. Is/ Question. Why is this Loan call- I the "Seven-Thirty" Loan? Answer. It bears Interest, in curren cy, at the rate of Seven Dollars aud thir ty cents, each year, on every hundred dollars; making the intesest as follows : One cent per daj- on each $ 50 n< tc. Two cenli •- •' lilu • Ten " •' » SKI " Twenty '• " 1,000 '• One dollar •* u 5,000 2d Question. When and how can they be obtained ? Aiuictr. They are for sale, at par, and accrued interest, by all Sub-Treasu ries, National and other Bauks, and all Bankers and Brokers. l id Question. When is the interest J payable aud how can it be collected ? Answer. The Coupons or Interest , Tickets are due 15th of February and I 15th of August in each yeaf, and can be cut off from the note, and will be cashed by any Sub-Treasurer, U. S. Depository, j National or other Bank or Banker. ■lth Question. When must the Gov- i eminent pay off these 7.30s ? Arawer. They a re due in two years and a half from the 15th of February, 1805; viz.: on the 15th of August, 18- 07. s th Question. Must I receive back my money so soon as 1807 ? Answer. A Jo .' not unles you yourself prefertodoso—the Law gives-you the right to demand from the Government, at that tim<\ either money or aoj equal amount; at par, of the famous anil popular 5.20 Gold Bearing <5 per cent. L"nrt, 6//1 Question. How much do you eon aider this privilege of conversion, into 5.20 Loan to be worth ? Antwer. 5. 20s bearing Gold Inter est from Ist of November, are to-day worth 9 per cent. premium. If they arc worth no more ut the end of two years and a half, when you have a light to them, than they now are.this premium thoin'erestyou recoive.willgiveyoust least 10 per cent.per annum for your money —but the opinion is that they will be worth more than nine per cent, premium at that time. 7th Qustion. What other advantage is there in investing in the 7.30 Loan. Anxieer. It cannot be taxed by States, Counties or (lities, and this adds from one to three per cent.per annum to the net in come of the holder, according to the rate of taxation in various localities. All bonds and {stocks, except those of the United States, and all mortgages. &e., are taxed, not only by the Government, but ljy States, Counties aud Cities. ™ Bth Question. llow does the Govern ment rai*e the money to pay the interest, and jh it safe aud sure? • Answer. The Government collects,by taxes internal revenue, and duties on im« ports, fully three hundred millions each year. This is nearly threetiines as much as is needed to pay the interest 011 all the debt, and as soon as the war is ended, the amount not needed to jay the iutercst will be used in payingoff tho debt. Our Government lntx tirire paid off nil it* debt, and can easily do so again. The in terest is sure to bo paid promptly, and the debt itself is the very safest invest ment in the world. It is as safe as a mortgage on a good farm, and p#ys a bet-, ter interest. It is. in fact, a First Afort ipigeon all lands, nil incomes, all railroad and canal bonds, and bank or other stocks, mortgages, &c. Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound for it, aud all that we have is firm ly belli for the payment of principal and interest. How foolish tluise people are. who keep their gold and greenbacks idle and locked up, or purchase mortgages or railroad stocks anil bonds, which pay only 5 or ('1 percent interest, when these Seven- Thirties pay (eo(h)ting the premium on Five-Twenties,) over ten per cent., and j are so much safer and «uter. iV/i Question. -How many Seven-Thir ties ore there, and how much remains uu- I sold ? Answer. There are only about three | hundred and twenty-five millions author ized by law, and only about one hundred \ and ninety millions remain unsold. 11 Mfi. Question. How long will it take j you to sell tbe balance? Auneer. There are about POO Natior-j al Hanks all engaged in selling them; also a largo number of the old banks, and at least three thousand private bank ers and brokers, and special agents will bo engaged in all parts of the country in disposing of them to the people. 11 th Question. How long will it take to sell tbe whole? Answer. In Ipsa than three months they will bo all sold, and will no doubt then sell at a premium, as was tbe case with tbe old Seven-Thirties, tbe first Twenty-Year Loan, and the Five-Twen ties Tbe above questions and answers, it is believed, will give full information to all. If not. theGenaral Subscription Agent, or any of the Hanks or Hankers employ ed to sell the Loan, will be glad to ans wer all questions, and to furnish tho Seven Thirties in small or large sums (as the notes aro issued in denominations of 850, 8100, 8500, 81.000,85.000,) and to render it easy for all to subscribe-®- thus fulfilling tho instructions of Mr. FESSENDEN, who earnestly desires that the people of the whole laud, (as well as the capitalists,) shall have every opportu nity afforded them of obtaining a portion of this most desini/il.'. investment.
