Vacancies in the LegislatureThe question has been frequently esked of late, whether we are to heve an election this Fall for members of the Legislature, to supply \ places of soon of ths old members as msy f be iu the Confederate Service.

Bo far aa we are Informed, no write of alec* p' tion have been iaaued to fill the placet of membeta who*may have accepted commiaaiona under the Confederate Government; nor do w? know whether it haa been determined that their places are vacated. All that we have aecn on the subject ia the opinion of the Attorney General. Hie opinion ia that, under tbe~Conatitu tjon of our 8tate, persona holding office undei the Confederate Government are disqualified from holding aeata in the Legislature ; but thu opinion does not decide the matter. It hat been suggested that although the disqualifies tion may be deer ee to officers in the reguku army, It may be different ee to officers In th< Provisional army. We have ne Regular army Perhaps the Legislature at tha eitra aaasioi will determine the question whether aeata an vacated by those serving in tha Confederal army.

The Richmond Examiner of 27th ult., nave : Intelligence of the moat important and critical nature has reached here from the eat of war in the West, by special express arrived yesterday evening. The news from our camps on the Gauley line is as late as Wednesday Inst, furnishing s most uncommon instance of the dispatch of intelligence from that quarter. On Friday last Gen I-co arrived at Floyd's camp nl Meadow lilulT. Me was accompanied hy an escort of twenty inen and three baggage wagons. On the Sunday following Gen. Lee proceeded to Wise's encampment, on the Big Sewell, and made a thorough reconnoissance of ths position It waa known that Kosencrantz had croaaed the Gauley, and was making his way towards our lines. It was reported that he had crossed the Gauley at Hughes' Kerry, taking up his line of march on the Wilderness road, but, lenrning the position of Floyd'a forces, hud retraced his march, crossing the river agniu at Carnefux (the locality of the late battle) and directing his movements towards Wise's position on the Big Sewell. Gen. I*e had taken four regiments of Floyd's command to reinforce Gun. Wise The juncture of these two forcm would not, it ie said, amount to more than 5.000 men, and it had been determined to give battle on the npprouch of the enemy.? Rosencrantz' force was estimated at 14,000 men. It was understood that the position of Gen. Wise wae exceedingly sirong. The dispositions of the forces had been made by Col. Henningsen ; and it was hoped tlint they would bo able to check Kosencrantz, notwithstanding the considerab e superiority of hie numbers. "The "Kirkwood Rangers" This fine Company o/ Troop, Irom Kershaw District, under command of Cspt. Wra. M. Shannon, passed through our towu on Friday last on their way to the Seat of War in Vir, ginia. We regret tbat we were not permitted , to participate in the patriotic reception gotten up by our citizens, and especially to hear the excellent speech of welcome delivered by Mr. Maaaey aud the apt response of Capt.

I N order to avoid the losses that would f necessarily occur in the present unsettled condition of the country, I have de| termitied to sell only for cash from this i date, or barter for the following articles, at the following prices: j Dry Hides in trade 13c. per lb. or 10c. cash, j (ireen " 44 (3 44 4 44 j Tallow 44 44 1 -2* 44 10 Oak Dark 44 $ > per cord |S 44 \ Generally on baud Boots, Shoes and j Leather, of neurly every description. Which | will he sold as low as they can be bought at other places. Persons intending to clear this winter will find it profitable to save their oaks, and tako of the bark next Spring, as the ,! demand for Dark will bo good. The conn' try is now thrown upon its own resources and if the people do not help the Tanners in this particular, Leather will continue to be scarce and high. There is now plenty of Hides, but the scaicity of Dark renders it impossible to do a large business. If every man will put his shoulder to the 1 I wheel, we will soon have plenty of Leather, C w hich will he one important step towards the independence of the South. US BORN FLOYD.
