that every man capable of bearing aims, between
the ages of eighteen and forty»Bve, should now

storms below Staunton. Tbo Winchester Central
tram this evening brought no news.
Richmond, July 15.—A large number of officers
anil privates wounded at Gettysburg are arriving
daily. Letters and veibal reporis all represent
onr army in Maryland in Gno spirits, and ready
for the approaching battle.
The feeling of uneasiness recently prevailing
here has given place to general eunfideuce in the
ability of Lee and bis gallant army to copesue
cerstudy with the Yankee hordes now conccn*
trating on the Potomac. Before the next battle
take:: place it is believed that our army will be
nearly as strong as before the battle of Gettys
burg.
Tbe continuous heavy rains in this viciuity are
exciting serious apprehensions in regard to the
crops.
Richmond, July 15.—The required amoint es
stock in the Virginia Yoluuteer Navy Company
has been subscribed, and the company organised

in other States promptly, we wonld soon have a

The city papers were never more barren of
