SOUTHERN /CONFEDERACY. £ outturn (goufetnaq ATLANTA. OlOIttUi 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- g/gt- Ac exchange thinks that as there will be fi«c quit to ose is after Abe Lincoln's ap- pnmmenu are all made, the out* will ba apt to give tbs ins a good deal of trouble.

Wo have been kindly permitted to ley before our readern the following Uttar, written by Dr. Humphries to hie exodleat lady, for which we return our thanks: 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. Your husband, * 4 WM. C. HUMPHREYS. 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.

Tbe act of tbe General Aeeemhly call tag a Convention which assembled at Rich mond in February last, was therefor* usurp* lion ; and tbe convention thus called has not ooly abused the powers nominally animated to ti, but,with t heeonaivsaeaao'i active aid of ths 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 bellious States, and required their submission to its pretended ediots and decrees. ** It has attempted to place the whole mili tary force and military operation* of the Com monwealtb under tbe oonirot and direction of 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 oem menders. For ear pert, we knew net king, and ea deqror to await result* with ptDeoephie onm- posure.—Biehnond Whig, Vtk nIk 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.
