Five Dollar Notes.
We are under the necessity, in self-defence,
of subjecting the old issue of Five Dollar Con
federate Tw&nry Notes to the deduction fixed
the Bunks, of one third- W* *»«
rectntly, on paying our paper bills, ¥£,_";
iectod to * discou** of several hundred dollars,
and we eonnot submit to such operations any
looger. The amount that e*eh subscriber wm
have ta'loee is small, to us the aggregate is more
than we can bear. ' -

Gallant Officer Fallen, y
t,h more than ordinary pain wo an
e death of Brig. Geo: Wm. E. Jones,
mty, who fell in the engagement near
Staunton on Sunday last. He. was a graduate
ef West Poiht, and for several years a Lieuten
ant hi the U. S. Army. Just before the break
ing out of the war he was elected Captain of the
volunteer company knuwn.ua the Washington
Mounted Rifles, and led them to the field among
the first that rallied under the Stars and Bars.
From that day to the day of hie death, be was
rarely absent from his post, and participated m
some of the hardest fought battles of this great
struggle.
As his biography will doubtless begiven, we
will not pretend to give more at present than
the melancholy fact of his |eath.
The ValLty Fight.
We have bad but'mengre accounts from tbe
fight near Stounton. The Lynchburg Virginian
of the 7th says our disasters have been exagge
rated. The death of Gen. Jones was the great
est duster. We learn from * private source
that he at firtft repulsed the enemy, and in the
attempt to follow it up one Regt. gave way,
when Jones was killed, and our forces repulsed
in turn. The enemy doubtless have possession'
of Staunton, and we have not sufficient force at
pntsent to keep them back.
Tbe Casualties.
We copy from tbe Lynchburg Virginian
the lists of casualties in the 48th and 50th
Virginia Regiments, but they will be found
very inaccurate. We have corrected the
epeffing of many of the names, but many are I
doubtless still wrong. I

gts» The Board of Examining Surgeons
closed its session in this place on Tuesday
evening, and despatched a large number of cases-
We have lived in the world a good while, but we
neyer before saw at one time as many persons
who woro halt or lame, or otherwise afflicted.—
We doubt whether there wasever as big a-crow*
of "impotent folk" around the pool of Siloam I
at any one time. So many canes were out for |
the occasion, that hoop-poles are bound to be
scarce. > . -, i
g9*Abo«t 500 Yankee cavalry came thro*
Pound Gap a few days ago, a few of whom
were killed, and a number of horses and
equipments were taken atid appropriated by
Morgan's men. Morgan and his command j
aro now probably within the enemy's lines,
but where, vre will leave the enemy to.find 1
out, as far as we are concerned. Tbey will j
be heard from before long.
