Oar Spwial CorrejiHbndence—Letter from the Eobm Guardi. Richmond , Va., Mag 22 d. l)teAk Weekly:— Last evening the Echols Guards landed in this city.* All well and in buoyant spirits. We met with a most cordial and hearty reception here ; in fact, all' along our way hither a true and patriotic spirit seemed to prevail among the people. We were greeted at Otery station with enthusiastic shouts of applause by the men,and many flags amljiandkercliiefs by the ladies. negroes seemed rejoiced lessee the noble sol dier, making his way to the field of battle to defend his country. The heart-cheering, God bless you, seemed to be upon every body’s lips, save in one little, mean, filthy railway station in Creek. Some there had the audacity to hoist the old stars and stripes and shout, “ Huzzah for Lincoln !” Our men were indignant, they could hut barely constrain themselves. > Not ainanbut was apxious to give them a test of Southern prowess; but prrudence for bade. In Greenville, Tcnn., notwith standing the old star spangled banner floated with her wonted majesty upon the house of the immortal Johnson, her people gave enthusiastic and un mistakable evidence of their fidelity to the South. Johnson may harangue the people until his vile tongue grows too weak for utterance, Brownlow may circulate his vulgar sheet in every family in the State, but Tennessee is sure to ratify the act of her Legisla ture. We have a fine locality for our camp, North-East of the city. Several ru mors are afloat about engagements at Fortress Monroe, Harper’s Ferry and Alexandria, but no confidence is placed in them. Alexandria, however, has been taken by the Federal forces without opposition. We expect to have it soon. Col. Ellsworth, one of Lincoln’s pets, was killed at Manassas junction by Capt. Jackson. Jackson was also shot to pieces. In conclusion, we would tender our most heartfelt thanks to the citizens of Grantville, while awaiting there for an order. Yours, &c., J. 11. W. A Fearful Warning, Men cannot be too wary about in cpAUdging in the use of Intoxicating arinksT Especially careful should be the man who knows that ardent spirits produce on him delirium, and a dispo sition to violent action, as is the case with many. We have to record a roost shocking instance of the effects of indiscretion in partaking of ardent spirits, notwithstanding the knowledge of the possible fearful consequences. James Martin, of Brooklyn, for twen ty years a journeyman in one of our largest book-binderies, always became insane if he drank ardent spirits. He repeatedly, in his sober moments, told"his wife to cnll a policeman at such times, for he feared he should do violence- to some of the children. Still he would have his turns of drink ing; and going home, a short time since, after a slight indulgence, he began to act furiously. His wife went out under the pretence of calling a policeman.' Returning, she met him rushing wildly’out of the house. Go in or in, she found he had cut the throa t of°his little girl, eighteen months old, from ear to ear, atid it Was lying dead in its little bed, red with the crimson gore. Mr. Martin went directly to the City Hall and gave himself up to the authorities, and was locked up to await his wretched fate—wretched un der any and all circumstances, as long as he lives. What a fearful warning is this to those of like propensities. Important Mews. St. Louis, May 31. — Two hundred Illinoisians have crossed the river to Paducah, to join the Confederate force. New Orleans, May 31. —Warner & Co.’s ice house on Custom House street, and the upper stories of a building in the rear were burned last night; loss not ascertained. Louisville, May 31.—1 tis sup posed that Anderson will come here officially and alone, probably to aid in endeavoring to swear in the Home Guard, and accustom the Kentuckians to the sight of the Federal buttons, and gradually bring the State into the present condition of Missouri. It is rumored, however, that the Nashville Railroad will be embargoed on Mon day, in which event the Tennesseeans, considering Kentucky’sneutrality vio lated, will probably advance on the State. The Union and Southern Rightsmen however, seem determined to repel aggressions from either, and the Tennesseeans, will gain thousands of supporters by waiting. The Marion Rifles, composed en tirely of Union men, refused by a ma jority of one to be sworn into the Home Guard. The New York Times, received here by mail, has a bitter article on the attitude of England and France, and says without circumlocution that it is plain they will formally recognize the independence of the Confederate States.

Scott be lieves there are only four or five thou sand troops-there. . Last night nearly every regiment in Washington was under marching orders, and it is expected that before the Confederate troops can get within rea onable fighting distance, 80,000 Lincolnites will be concentrated on the heights West of Alexandria. Since it has been understood that the South Carolinians are, holding Manassas Junction the Lincolnites have been most anxious to get at them,. A Post Office has been established at Fort Pickens. The Seventh Regiment departed for New York to-day.
