The Russell county Confederate pension board met again Saturday and completed the work of hearing and passing upon applications for pensions. there were more than a hundred before the board, but a majority of them not coming under the provisions of the law, their claims had to be rejected. It is pathetic to witness those brave men, now bent with age and infirmity, but whose eyes were once fearless and whose muskets were bright, coming up and seeking the trivial allowance which their state, yet staggering under the burdens brought on by the war, is trying to make them.

With a new constitution and the consequent reduction of the public expenses, Virginia hopes soon to be able to do something handsome for her honored soldiers.
