Association, the name of J. E. Harley or Harlie, Co. 0. Ist S. U. V., killed May 26th 1864--buried in the yard of a Mrs. luff, at Hanover Junce tion, Va., Central R. R. Please ad vertise the fact, as friends may wish to kniiow. Public reeling, Our readers will observe in this mornings issue a call to a meeting of the citizens on the 1st Monday in Sep tlember, to adopt measures having ref erence to the relief of . our lieople. What class of "our people" is con templated in this invitation must be evident to all who are cognizant of the existence of certain sentiments in our midst, although no intimation was made to us of the specific object of the meeting. It is a matter 'whose delicacy and .scriousness can scarcely be over-esti mated. We trust this fact will be ap. preciated and the subject approached-. when this meeting is held-temperate. ly and with calmness and thoughtfulnes and with the ends of real justice and fairness'elearly in view, The dangeri of a reckless and incousiderate dis. turbanoe of existing relations cannol be -understood by any one who has not pondered carrfully upon the conse. quences of Such action. Jm.portant Decision. The followinig decisiona has recetly~ been made in Georga Undoubtedly there is perfectjustice and equity in th is position and it ertainly would be sus. tained before iny judicial tribunal ir this State. .Such decisions as thiu willeconvey a real benefit if they will have the effect of putting a quistus t( an extensive feeling of unrest on this very point, and of assisting many oi our people in seeing their situatioi fully,, with all its liabilities and res ponsibilities, undisguised by fictitious andl unreasonable hopes -and expecta. tions. Noting i* so calculated tc embarrass qtir ounstry in its efforts t< redeem ~itself .as thi, teory.s uneritain. ty and unrest ,.

One night., while I VOW * d porarily in the villag VC1 ' I quested by my fric d V o 0 hin and four other,' an ssit in hak ing night higeu d dhp eup,f various bright eyed beauties of the town. I had blit.lately.%rrivcd %th place, but my friends:bd$On. for some time, and assured me that it was the custin'of the young ladis tp. roward their admirers witlicakes and candies, and those articles being rath er scarce at the time, (it was during the war,) I at once consented to go. So a little after dark, all foiti6ed with tobacco and a,flask of th6 e'herowith al, we sallied f4tth and proceeded to a seminua.ry of young ladios in the suburbs. Not .Icing 'provided with istrutent,;, wo had but to resort to " Vox et pretertm' ih," and M. who undertook to lead set up,a mostimelo dious squall, while the rest of us join ed in the chorus. .As soon as we had finished the song a goodly bundle flow out of the window. I at.oice jumped over the fence, to secure it, and had just got my fiugers upot it, when I be came aware of the proximity of a good spoeimen of. the gelnus V'Iiis, species, Bull, wvho ex.hibi'te6Ac -i os tiesymptoins, that it entpeesa ry to display my O ility by j ining the fences. -I succeeded Ain Jetting over all but my coat tail, wWeih the infernal dog got hbld of, and held to with genuine bill tenicity, keeping ine suspended in a rather painful po sition, while nty friends below, and the girls above shouted with laughter at my ridiculous appearance, anything but ridiculous to me, however. Af ter various frantic but vain struggles on my part, to get loose, M. picked up a stick and punched the dog with it so hard, that the beast let me go and selVed it,' ad then M, let go and the anipulc left. I had kept hold of,the' bundle all the time, so that When' I landed on terra firma, it was all safo. After this little episode', we all sang another soing with great applause, and received another bundle, Whi'h fell outside the fence this time. so that no trouble was undergolo to get' it. As we started to sing a third' there was sonic little comlitotion.in the acdely, and dreading a row, n beca.iue , just about there. Bringing up. dout a hundred yards below, we' divided the spoils, took a horii, and proceeded else where. Going into the .heart of the village we stopped at a snallliouse, and treated the inmates to.tw,o' series of the howls,gruits and groans which were considered to represent songs. They thereupon fmnished us with two boulquets oif flowers, growing out of to bacco pouches, filled ivhth tobacco, these we drew lots for aqd they didn't fall to' me. Two more horns a .piece were then served out, and on we went. Biy the time we t'esehed another house whieh we-intended to bore, we were all pretty well how-came-.you-se, and we agreed to try the q.peratic style. This in our opinlihlponaisted in each muan inging A dparate%dng at' the top of his voice with a feu"yells by way of 'viation.

The total number of great firea for the year 1865 was one hndred and' fifty-one, and the dsses resulting from these firos were estifated at $17,528, 000.. Up to the frst day of July of the current year, the number of fires is given at two hundred and eighty nine, and the aggregate of the proper ty destroyed is valued at $32,976,000. When it is considered that this esti. mate embraces only half of the pres ent year, it will be seen how vastly this year will excel.nll others in these terrible statistics of fiery desolation.
