WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1861.
Two Sides To Every Tale.
In our to no or the 28th lost, wo published
the following dispatch from Richmond! M A
pony of Federalists from n atoomor on Mee-
day afternoon, aUompiod to land near Urbane,
ou the Rappabaonock River, for the purpose
of eiraHng provision*. The Pedarala bad dis
patched boats from the steamer, containing
about fifty soldiers, with swivels and small
arms fit the purptwe. Twelve of them, with
muskets, were marching towards the residence
of Mr. Ores bam. They were met by a compa
ny of Confederates and repulsed. Some four
were killed aod wounded. The ballance re
turned to the boats and pot back to the steam
er. Some 80 shots were fired from the stcemer
—17 of them petting through Mr. Gresham’s
housa. “Nobody hurt,** on the Oonfodeiate
side. This news comes from Col. Hsll, in a
leuar written et Gresham’s house, after the
flgnt.**
in order h>(lT* our readers a specimen of
the way the Yankees can lie, we annsx the
following aeoount of this affair, taken from the
New York Herald of the 27th ult:
FiRrnsss Mossos. June 25, )
Via Baltin jrs. June 28, 1861.' j
Q 'iie an exciting affair occurred on the
Rappahannock Hirer yrsisrdey, ia which the
KeSieer Mouiiocllo paid her resprots to e
body of two hundred rebel infeutty. The
Mouiiocllo, under comuand of Lieut. Daniel
L lfraiue, had proceeded el an early hour in
the morning up the riser, for the purpose ot
making a reconnoissanee. and to capture, it
poesmle. the small steamboat Virginia which
had been in the habit of plying daily between
Fiederiokshurg and Carier’a Creek, carrying
prufiaioup, &o., to the enemy.
Ou approaching near Carter's Cresk, Lieu
teoaut Ursine, learning from Pilot Phillips
thai Mr. Oeisem, a Union man, resided on the
hank ot iho riser, determined to send the
launch, with a howitzer and boat’s crew, on
shore, to gaiu desired information. Ou the
Huai lauding, ibe pilot, surgvon Iltsber Smith,
and Lewis A. Drown, Master’s Male, with ten
nu-u. adsauced to the house, leaving a boat’s
crew in the launch. The officers were Intro
duced to a company of ladies and gentlemen
at ibe bouse, and their reception seemed to
b • of the most cordial character Bu» while
the officers were thus engaged, a Baptist
o er^ymnn, by the name of Dahl, sneakei off,
au<i gave information of ibetr presence to the
e lemy’s picket, near by. Within five min-
u vs from tneir lauding they were startled by
the pretence of two hundred of the enemy,
wnbiu lour rods or the house, who fired s
volley upon them, and attempted to cut them
off Immediately falling back, they regained
the launch, which had fired one or two rou> d?
ot shell to cover the retreat. The pilot and
several of the crew were obliged to swim to
regain the boat. The enemy, meanwhile,
kept up an incessant fire of small arms, 18
Minnie balls striking the oars stid lbs launch
i'eelf. The surgeon, llebsr Smith, of New
Yoik, received a ball in his left cheek, which,
pissing through the moutfi,'passed out of his
upper lip, knocking out eight or tsn teeth, in
flicting a painful but not dangerous wound;
aud August Peterson, one of the crew, was
•hot in the abdomen, which will cause his
death. Another man lost bis forefinger, and
t e clot hvs of o her-* were riddled.
On hearing the firing, the thirty-two's of
the steainrr were fired io>o groups of troops,
scattering them like chaff, and killing a large
number of them.
The women having left the bouse of the
bo called Unionist, that aod the out bouses
were totally demolished by shell, and the
Monticello returned to this point.
Barometers*
Too little is known of the barometer by those
in whom—next to the mariner at tea—It is
moat serviceable. We allude to farmers. By
it, the changes in the weather cen be uner
ringly foretold. It never fails to give from ten
tosixty hours warningof an approach log storm
—ample for nearly any preparation. Many far
mers lose much of their wheat, rye and oata
in harvesting, or lose hay and fodder when
cured, from sudden showers or “ wet spells,”
which might all he saved by consulting a ba
rometer. We have often known farmers to
lose enough from a single rain, to buy a dozen
or more of those useful instruments.
The c* 1. brated Dr. Arnot, was once in a storm
at sea, where its value was strikingly illustra
ted. He said:
“The eon had just set with a pleasant ap
pearsoce. closing a beautiful afternoon, and
theu«unl mirth of the evening watch proceed
ed. when the Ctptain’e order came with all
haste to prepare for a storm. The barometer
had begun to fall with appalling rapidity. As
jet, the oldest sailors had not perceived even
a threatening In the sky, and were auprised
at the extent and burry of the preparations;
but the required measures wers not completed
when a mure awful hurricane burst upon them
than the most experienced had everhraved.—
Such, fora few hours, was tbs mingled rosr
of ihs storm abovs, and of the waves around
end the imessant peals of thunder, that no
human voice could be beard; aod amid the
coneieruaiioa the trumpet sounded in vein.—
On that awful night, but for a little tube of
mercury, which bad given warning, neither
the strength of tbs noble ship, nor the skill
and energies of her commander could have
saved one man to tell the tale."
Mr 8. Cleveland of this place has on hand
a number of instruments of very superior and
convenient pattern, and at much lower prices
than any othar style has ever sold for—so as
to be In reach of nearly ovary body. On# great
advantage is that they ara portable and can be
sately oarriod anywhere, which is not the case
with soy other kind we ever saw. It is simple,
an I any one, with a little attention, cad soon
become acquainted with it, so as to be always
posted beforehand on the subject of the wsalh-

Camp Hollisoswootn. near Winchester, Ve., |
Eighth Regimect Georgia Volunteers. >
June 27, 1881. J
My Dear Wift: We are quartered here—how
loog I cannot say. What the Intentions of tbs
enemy may ba, io withdrawing from Virginia,
( cannot aay. If for peace, well aod good ; if
to deceive, they will be mistaken; for, in Gen*
Johnston, corn mender of this division of the
Confederate forces, is to be found ell that it re
quires to make an able General. The enemy
will never find him esleep at hie post. Besides,
let every Georgian who has a friend or rela
tion in this division, remember that we are
uodertbe immediate command of one of Geor
gia’s noblest sod truest sons—General Frsneis
8 Bartow. We beve nothing to fear either
from surprise or on the bailie field. Besides,
the Atlanta Grays have advantages (allotted
to few companies) in their immediate com
manding officers, Cspt T. F. Lewis end Lieut,
8. B. Love, who are gentlemen of the first
character and every way qualified to discharge
their duties. The members of the Greys are
willing, at all times, to pises their destiny in
the bands of these two officers.
While writing, I im standing sentinel under
the shade of two very large and ancient wil
low trees, situated immediately in front of the
«i welling onoe occupied by Gen. Washington
end staff daring the Revolutionary War. This
house is quite ancient. It dates back to the
year 1764. It is situated about three quarters
of a mile from the town of Winchester, and is
built of gray and white limestone. The main
buildiugahows marks of recent improvements.
Beyond tble, everything shows old age. ’Tis
a lovely spot, has around it ill that makes life
pleasant and home comfortable—a large or
chard containing all kinds of fruit adapted to
this climate. About fifty yards from the house
is a large fish pond, containing fish in abun
dance for family use. In the center of the
pond is a small flower garden neatly paled in.
It, too, bear* the marks of time. Scattered
through the yard are beautiful shade treea
of different kinds -the Aspen and Poplar
smong them. In the lot adjoining the yard
and around the fish pond, is teen the common
and the weeping willow of tremendious site—
and look aa if they had beeQ standing for cen
turies. On the bank of the fish pond stands a
large flouringuind saw mill, turned by water
ftowsr. Through the yard and lot, conveyed
in iron pipes, is water in abundance of the
purest kind. Taken in connection with its rev
olutionary history, it is one of the loveliest
places on earth. The building was erected by
Free Masons in 1764. The inscription placed
over the door, facing to the Ea t. is so dim that
it cannot be read. The room in this houa« oc
cupied by Gen. Washington, is the same that
is now occupied by Gen. Bartcw. The flooring
of the room is the same laid nearly a century
ago.
The nearest the enemy have been to this
place, is Martinaburg, twenty five miles from
here, except a few of them who paid us a visit
a few days ago—not willingly, however. Cir
cumstances beyond their control forced them
here, and we have them to support. On yes
terday the advance guard of our army crossed
the Potomac, by wading, to attack Gee. Cad-
wallader’s forces stationed at Martinsburg On
the approach of our forces the enemy fled
without firing a gun. They left two pieces of
cannon on the field, both loaded.
The health of the Seventh and Eighth Geor
gia Regiments ie good. A very sad accident
occured in Col Gartrell’e Regiment yesterday
morning. A young man named Camp, from
Coweta, accidently shot himself. In lifting a
trunk into a wagon bis pistol fell from his
belt, the hammer striking the trunk and ex
ploding. the bsll entering bis breast at the up
per part of the breast bone, killing him almost
instantly. I trust by this time our officers
have bad accidents enough from the wearing
of small fire arms, to rigidly enforce the dis
continuance of their use. They do more harm
than good. Tha health of the Atlanta Grays is
very good. Plenty to eat and little to do. I
am unable to say anything as to how long hos
tilities will last.
I neglected to tell you, the property of
which I have given e description, has remain
ed for tbe last two hundred years in one fam
ily. It bears the name now it did two centu
ries ago. It is known as “Hollingsworth
Mills." There stands near tbe house a cotton
wood tree, which measures twenty.six feet ia
circumference. I end Mr. Wilson, of Mariet
ta, measured it this evening.
I will write again soon.

Tfcr#»««»l»f • *4 Belligerent Aete at
England, and Hew to Meet Ttetate
■The relations between this country and
England are gradually eesustnff A wort
threatening aspect. For acme weeks past we
have heard of the preparatiaoe making In tbe
English dockyards for an lacrosse ef the
British naval force ia American water*; and
by reoeat newt from Havana we cr* informed
of the selliag tf her Majeoty'a ship Jason,
•as of the fiocst io tbs navy, for the mouths
of the Mississippi and a orutse along tbo
Southern seaboard. Wo have at tbo same
time rseoived intelligence ot tbe despat eh of
noarly four thousand additional troops, with
horses aod artillery, by tbe Groat Bottom and
tbs Golden Flstoe, to Ceoeda. Farther, wo
ascertained yesterday that aixttea gup boats
have boon ordered immediately to join the
squadron about to be despatched to our eoast.
All this looks as if Great Britain meant war,
and for war we must tlersfore be propared
Foreiga nations, and England especially, it
would appear, art eager to take advantage of
onr domeetio troubles, and add t* our disas
tore by embroiling ns in war by sea as well
as land. Evan Franos has not hesitated to
make a treaty with Spain, guaranteeing the
latter tbe sovereignly of 8t. Domingo; and
British statesmen and British journals have
not shrunk from opeoly favoring tbe oauie of
the rebels under Jeff Davis. It would stem,
indeed, that the European Powers think they
can do what they like towards us witkin a
certain limit just now. Otherwise, would
8pain have dared to annex Si. Domingo?
Let us not underrate tbe acts of foreign
nations, nor consent passively to whatever
policy their rulers may dictate. Lei us make
•very obnoxious set a catus belli, and declare
against their manoeuvres, whether they be
directly aggressive aud insulting or not. Let
us be prepared to defend our dignity as well
as our national and international rights. It
is evident from the conduct of England that
•be is, in her folly, ready if not anxious to
pick a quarrel with this oountry, and wo
should at onoe propers to resent any and every
eueroaobmeot of hers. Our waters will soon
•warm with British men-of war, engaged in
the inspeotion of our biookade, and wherever
and whenever this is deemed imperfect to
avowedly escort any vessel bearing the Eng
lish flag into the port where the blockade is
eonsidsred inefficient ; and if interrupted in
the act by any of our ships of war to open
firs upon them, or, in their own words, to
••sink them.” This is eertainly a nice pros
pect for tbe contemplation of Americans, and
it is one also which ought, without delay, to
engage their roost serious attention. What
therefore occurs to us is tbe folly of North
aod South making war upon each other while
tbe oommon enemies of both seotions are pre
paring to join in the fray. Instead of shed
ding tbe blood of our fellow meo, let us,
North and South, unite to resent this threat
ened interference on the part of England, and
to withdraw St. Dotuiogo from the greedy
grasp of Spain. Let half of the Northern
and half of tbe Southern army join bands in
a common oause, and proceed directly to
drive the British power out of Canada, and
after that to drive the Spanish power out of
St. Domingo. We have the strength to do it,
and why should we not have tbe will ? What
would sooner promote the reconciliation of
North and South and make loyal the rebel
lious ranks? Let us, in view of foreign war
aod prestige, settle cur differences and vindi
cate our national honor. We admit that, if
we iuvade Caoade, we shall have to fierht the
British fleet, but aa that seems to be inevite
ble in any case, we might as well be on the
aggressive es the defensive side. Why should
we waste our strength and imperil our great
ness by domestic strife, which exposes us to
all the dangers that now menace ua? Let us
combine against the cnmuiou enemy and dis
pute the supremacy of the Mistress of the
Seas. We have had enough of British treach
ery, and we are, indeed, a suicidal people if
we remain to divided among ourselves as to
become ibe prey of a Power that would gladly
hail our utter dismemberment and ruin.—X.

ooly abused the powers nominally animated to

Escoutive, has usurped and exercised other
powers, to the maaifeat injury of tbs people,
which, if permitted, writ Inevitably subject
them to a militarv despotism.
•* The Convention, by its pretends! ordl-
nances, has required tko people of Virginia to
separate from, and wage war agaiost tbe Gov
ernment of tbo United States, and ngaiost tbs
ciliisnsof neighboring Biaios with whom tbey
have heretofore maintained friendly, social
and business relations.
M It has attempted to subvert Ihs Uoioa
founded by Washington and his oompatriois
io ths purer days ot the republic, which con
ferred unexampled prosperity upon every olass
of oititens, and upon every section of the
oountry.
•• It has attempted to transfer the allegiance
ot tbe people to an illegal Confederacy of re

to its pretended ediots and decrees.
** It has attempted to place the whole mili

suoh Confederacy, for offensive as well as de
Tensive purposes.
•• It has, in conjunction with ths Stats exe
cutive, institute|wberever tbeir ursui ped pow
er extends a reign of terror, intended to sup
press the freeexpression of the will of the pro
pis making eiecisons a mockery and a fraud.
“ Ths same combination, even before the
postage of tbe pretendeded ordinance o( se
cession, instituted war, by ths seizure and ap
propriation of ths property of the Federal
Government, and by organizing and mobilizing
armies, with the avowed purpose of capturing
or destroying the ospitsl of the Union.
** Tbey have attempted to bring the alle
giance of tbe people of tbe United States into
direct conflict with tbeir subordinate alle
giance to tbe State, thereby making obedience
to tbeir pretended ordinance, treason agaiost
the former.
We, therefore, the delegates here assembled
in convention, to devise suoh measures and
lake suoh action as the welfare of the loyal
citizens of Virginia may demand, having me
turely considered the premises, and viewing
with great concern the deplorable condition to
which lhi8once happy Commonwealth must
be reduoed, unless some regular adequate rem
etly is speedily adopted, and appealing to the
Supreme ruler of the Universe for the recti
tude of our intention, do hereby in the name,
and on (he behalf of the good people of Vir
ginia, solemnly declare that the preservation
of tbeir dearest rights and liberties, and their
security in person and properly, imperatively
demand the reorganization of the Government
of the Commonwealth, and that all acts of
said convention and executive tending to sep
arete this Commonwealth from the United
Stales ; or to levy and carry oo war agaiost
them, are without authority and void ; aod
tbe offices of ali who adhere to tho said con
vention and executive, whether legislative or
judicial, are vacated.
The Impeudiug Battle.
A general impression prevails that a great
battle is about to be fought at or near Manas
sas. Tbe impreaeion prevails extensively
here, asd It is shared hy tbe Northern public,
if we may judge by their telegrams. Such
is the confidence of some persons both in the
fact of the battle aod its result, that through
ticked to Washington and Baltimore, and in
seme oases, to Philadelphia, have already
beeo bespoke Nobody seems to doubt but
that tbs Yankees will bs speedily routed, if
our boys can ooly get a fair lick at them.—
Tha publio impatience is Intense, that the
blow should be dealt. No more delay, but
pui the Yankees to ths rout at once, that Me
ryland may have an opportunity to rise, aa
one man, and crush her foul oppressors. 1 he
rout ones begun, it will never cease till peace
is dictated In New York. Tbe people crave
an Italian enmpelga, like that ef tko Greet
Napoleon, to sootier eld Boeu's anaconda folds
and bring the Yankees to a seas* of ihsir in
significance.
This Is tko iooe of tko popular pulse, quick
and feverish, but net at all laeoaaisteut with
a fixed determination to oooquer, and with
•very ooafidcaoe ia the military skill ef sir

The Tories In Conclave.
The Tory Convention at Wheeling on Mon
day 17 June ordered the “ Declaration of In
dependence” to a third reading, and the fol
lowing additional proceedings transpired :
Mr. Csrlils obtained leave to report an or
dinance reorganizing the financial bureau of
the State, by which no sheriff or other depos
itory of tbe public funds shall be permitted,
on the penally of losv of office, to pay aoy
but the authorities hereafter to be provided.
Mr. Dorsey then moved that tbe Declaration
of Independence be put upon its passage, call
ing for the yeas and nays, when it was unani
mously adopted—yeas 66, not a vote in the
negative.
Thirty members were absent on leave, and
the Declaration was signed by fifty six, the
same number as signed our National Declara
tion of Independence.
Th* following resolutions, submitted by
Mr. Carlile, were adopted by the Convention :
Reaalvtd, That the thanks of tbs loyal psoplo
of Virginia are duo to, aod are hereby tender
ed, to tbe Federal authorities for tbe prompt
manner in which they have responded to our
ceil for protection.
2. That we tender our thank* to Major
General McClellan for reaouing from the de
struction and spoliation inaugurated by tbe
rebel forces in eur midst, tbs people of North
western Virginia ineluded within his military
division.
3. That ths gallant and soldierly bearing of
ths troops from Ohio and Indiana, who, with
our own gallant first regiment, commanded by
Western Virginia's loyal son, Col. Kelly, have
scattered the rebel forcea iu our midst, has
won our admiration, and we gladly hail thsm
as our deliverers from (be ruin and slavery
provided for us by tbe ooeepirstors who have
possession of the powers of the 8tate.
4 That we deeply aympathize with our fel
low eitlzen, Col. Kelly, in his sufferings from
tbe wounds received in our service, sod earn
tally pray that he may be speedily restored
to perfect health, and again resume his com.
mend at the head our own first regiment.
6, That we utter by repudiate the horsey
sought to be inculcated by secessionists, that
it is an invasion of Virginia’s soil ior American
troops to mareb to the defence and protection
of Virginia’s citizens, but on the contrary we
declare Virginia soil to be Americao toil, and
free to the march of American soldiery and
sojourn of American citizen*, from all aod
r very portion of American territory ; and it
is only by such recognition that ths Federal
authorities eould discharge a plain Constitu
tional duty imposed upon them by the clause
guaranteeing to each Stale in the Union a re
publican form of Government.
Copies of ths resolutions were directed to
be seat to the President and officers of the
arm? In Western Virginia.
The following is tks Declaration of Inde
pendence adopted by the Conventioa :
