Our new troop Of horse, the Ringgold Ca
valry,' were out yesterday evening for the first
time in beautiful new uniform, and made a
handsome show. They were under the com
mand Of Capt. B. T. Piummer


No news of any kind is stirring, but bust
ness appears to have improved somewhat dur
ing the few days past, and from the large
amount of their purchases, suppose our mer-
chants anticipate doing large business this
fall -ar


hear nothing further of the contemplated
celebration by Harmony Division on the Oath
proximo. Has the idea been abandoned, or
are the arrangements progressing? ltl


Association No. q, u. B. Oft. has become,
by appointment of the National Congress, the
State Assembly, Of Virginia. for the Junior
Order, with power TO grant charters and exer
else general supervision in the State until the
regular State Assembly is formed.


Efforts are being made 10 increase the num-
ber and efficiency of the Junior Associations,
and should they be successful, a phalanx will
be brought TO the battle against King Alcohol,
which will prove more formidable 10 his pow
er than any now in the field. III tt.i


There are in the State 35 Divisions Of Soas
Of Temperance, and if each Division would
only apply itself to the formation of one Junior
Association, an impetus would be given to the
cause in the odd Dominion greater Than any
thing else which could possibly be accomplish
ed by their exertions. gNia & a.@jta l..
