Vk#-President Stephens,
The Richmond « Examieer,” Noticing the
assembling of Congress on tha 20th of July,
says:
“Prominent among the groups of members

the Viee*President, (Hon. Alexander H. Ste

his wan face, and the almost boy iah and trem

words in which he ie speaking of the greatness
of our victory, and both the greatness and glo
ry of its purchase. Mr. Stephens’ fsce, when
ever we see it, always strikes us with that con
centrated and weary expression of its sallow
and pinched features. On yesterday, the old
expression and manner were still there; but
that old eloquent nervouaneee, too, which
breaks out sometimes so suddenly in hia efforts
of oratory, could be seen in the tremulous lip
and lighted eye, as he shook bands with thosa
around him, and spoke the congratulations of
victory”
Monroe Couuty, Tennessee.
A friend writing to us from Sweet Water, on
the 3d inat, saya :
Our county has sent to the war six full com
panies, and parts of others—one company be
ing cavalry. Three more are being raised-
one of these being cavalry also, and have the
finest horses we can get, to say nothing of the
big, brawny men. Our county will raise for
our men from $20,000 to $25,000 b sides
our produce loan of wheat and corn Many
of our planters put down $1,000 in produce,
which for us ia a stronger subscription than
for the same amount among cotton planters of
equal force.
Our ladies are knitting and sewiog for the
Tennessee and Georgia boys. Tennessee may
be a little alow, but you know she is no one-
horse team when she gets in harness. She
loved the old Union, prestige and all, but God

and spirit of our Fathers’ Constitution, while
enemies have trampled its provisions un

DIMICK, WILSON A CO.
Atlanta, Aug. 7-lm
uimvillk, August .6 —Two of Rossesu'l
privates were struggling among their former
companions on the levee. One drew hie pis
tol, when a small by-stander made him awal-
a tooth or two, (struck biin in the mouth.)
The only regretable injury done was to E. D.
Crutchfield, Eiq , a well known and respecta
ble man in the community.
When the contest became animated. Crutch
field hurrahed for Jeff. Davia, eotto voce. He
was insulted and threatened, when he h
rahed for Davis again. Pistols were drawn,
but his friends prevented any injury to him at
the time.
He then came into the city, and waa alone
the reception room of the Galt House, when
a party of five, led by Tom Salvage, well
known in political circles here, assailed him.
Crutchfield fired once—probably twice—aad
wounded Salvage in the breast. Six shots
were fired—four or five by Salvage’s friends—
one taking effect in Salvage's arm, and one in
groin. The last will probably prove fatal—at
least it will takeaway his manliness.
Crutchfield received a blow from the ham
mer o f a pistol, putting out his left eye. Oth
erwise be is not seriously injured.
The election ie one-sided- the Soulheruers
not generally voting.
Wasbixcitom, August G —General Butler in a
letter to the Secretary of War, says, that, in
drawing the forces from Fortress Monroe, his
schemes for capturing a large number of slaves
is interfered with.
A Fanvlr Spr.—The correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Western
Virginia, says a female spy has been discov.
ered in the First Kentack V Regiment. She is
from Georgia, and enlisted at Cincinnati. She
was delected by writing information in regard
to the movements of oar troops to the enemy
8he is a member of the Knights of Golden Cir
cle, says she knows the punishment of a spy
is death, and is ready for her fate. She is to
be sent to Columbus.
A Cowardly Color*l.— A Colonel of a West
ern Regiment, it is currently reported, Jelt his
men ou tha field, jumped into a private car
riage, drew his revolver ou the driver and
commanded him to drive on, leaving behind
thoso who had hired the coacb. Upon being
interrogated at Fairfax as to where his regi
ment was, the brave Colonel informed his
friend that he supposed they had “all gone to
