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 be blessed, we have preserved the integrity and spirit of our Fathers’ Constitution, while enemies have trampled its provisions un der foot.

The correspondent of the “World” says, it is believed the Southerners have abandoned the idea of crossing the Potomac, and are vig orously concentrating lower down, establish ing a line of defense between Manaasus and the lower Potomac. They are certainly de ploying large numbers from Mount Vernon, southward, and increasing their batteries on the river.

The Richmond Dispatch truly says that the Southern press should keep before the people of the South and of the world the astounding and unparalleled fact that the army which ic- vadsdVirginia brought with them thirty thous and handcuffs, which were.taken with the oth er spoils from the enemy ! This surpasses all that we have ever beard of Russian or Austri an despotism. It is almost impossible to re alise that, in the United States, boasting itself as the freeeet and the most civilized of all na tions, the most deliberate, inhuman and atro cious plan should have been formed to degrade and enslave a free people of whioh there is any reoord in this or any other age.

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.
