Hcnriee Covet/,) Virginia, May 25lb, 1*61. / Dear Confederacy: The 44 Allan!* Ore/a” reached Richmond yesterday, About 11 o’clock, A: M. and are now eneamptd about two tailaa North-Eist of the city, In tenia aimilar to thoaa you have ao often aeon upon our Oeor fia Camp-Qrounda. The camp ia ait anted in an open plain entire!/ deatitute of shade-trees. Our Captain, in oonjunotion with Capt. Bar tow, ia endeavoring to accure more eligible quertere near the river, and we all hope the/ will aucceed, for the only faoilitiee we at prea aot have for bathing ia a small trough, wbieb we fill from a pump of pure, oold water. Speak ing of water it ia excellent, almost aa oold aa ioe water. We found that only one Company—tha 44 Oglethorpe Light Infantr/"--of our Regi moot had preceded ua. They had no notioa of our oomiog and were either luxuriating on the grata or varioualy employed about their tenta. Whan they »aw ua ooming, they rapidly formed into line, and as we marched by gave three hearty cheers and a tiger for oar glori oue old Commonwealth. Every Qeorgian’i heart ia fired with patriotic resolve at the man’ lieu of her name, and when tha day of conflict ccraea, rest assured, though tee may not sur- vive to tell the tale, her honor will remain urn sullied. Gov. Brown may persist in casting reproach upon our State by sending defense less troops to fight her battles, but we would not shrink from our duty though illy prepared to meet it. Our Captain did right, when, at the bidding of this Georgia dictator, he sur rendered our guns, for it was setting bis men an example of subordination to constituted au thority ; but 1 am echoing the sentiments of every man in the Company when I say, if 1 had been Captain, be never would have got them. I should have taken them along right or wrong, aa Capt. Barlow’s Company did, leav ing Joseph to fret and fume as much aa he pleased. This Regiment won’t vote for him any more. Our trip was aa pleasant as our manner of traveling would permit. Every where, we were greeted by the cheers of brave men and the smiles of fair women, who showered bo- quela upon us, and bid us God speed. At Goeben Swamp, in North Carolina, where we were detained a abort lime, we met a bevy of country damsels, who sang ‘‘Dixie’s Land” and other patriotio songs. The boys sang in return, and, between talking and singing, we bad a gloriooa lima. They passed along the cars aa the engine whistled, and gave each one of us a cordial shake of the hand and a heartfelt goodbye. It would have aroused you to hear them speak in their plain way of Lincoln. I told a black eyed little maiden that 1 was going to fight for her. “ Well,” said she, “Kill Lincoln.” Another tall spe cimen of North Carolina femininity passed along the cars, and the burden of her exborta tion was, 44 Be certain to kill old Lincoln.” I asked a widow, “fair, fat and forty,” what I should bring her from the war? Without hes itation she replied, *' Bring me old Lincoln’s big-roe. I want it for turtle bait.” The spir it of these illiterate eountry girls if chastened and refined by eduoation, would rise into an exalted patriotism. Our oorps, during the whole journey, deport ed themselves aa gentlemen. Their fioe ap pearance— my modesty will hardly permit me to say this—and courteous demeanor was tha subject of universal remark. Capt. Cooper, on our arrival, oomplimented ua, and told us that all the Conductors along the routs had remarked that they had never before seen auoh a quiet, well behaved body of men, and further that our conduct had been the means of gettiog us a great many favors which had been refused others.

The following is a short extract which we clip from Mr. Russel's fourth letter to London Times. It is dated al Norfolk, Va , April loth, just after the fall of Fort Sumter : Sumter has fallen at last. So much may be Accepted. Before many hours I hope to stand amid the mine of a spot which will probably become historic, and has already made more noise in the world than its gune, gallant as the defense may have been. The news will produce an extraordinary impression al New York—it will diaconcert stock jobbers and de- range the most ingeuious speculations. But, considerable as may ba iia results in any pan of tha Union, 1 venture lo say that no* whera will tha shock cause such painful con vulsions as in the Cabinet of Washington, where there appeared to exist the most perfect conviotion that the plan for the relief of Sum - ler could not fail to be aucoaasful either thro’ the force of the expeditiou provided for that object, or through the unwillingness of the leaders at Charleston to fire tbe first shot, and to compel the surrender of the piece by aotnal hostilities. Tbe confidence of Mr. Howard in tha strength of the name and resouroes of tha United States Fed eral Government muet receive a rude blow, but his confidences are by no means of weak ly constitution, and it will be long ere he can bring hlmsetf to think that all his prophecies must ba given upon# after another before the inexorable logic of facts, which his vaticins* lions have been ia “irreprtss.ble conflict.”— It seems to as that Mr. Seward has all along undervalued the spirit and the resolution of the Southern slave States, or that he has dis guised from other! tbe sense, be entertains of their extent and vigor.

It is due truth to say, that the statement is exaggerated and enlarged.

The wheat orop is now made, and it ia the finest ever known, both as to / ield and the breadth of tbe land sown. Sections where little wheat has been sown before, have large quantities for sale this year. In fact from whnt wo can learn but few sections will bate any flour to buy this year. A great increase iu the breadth of land planted in corn is gjueral throughout the country, and with ordiuary seasons tbe largest corn crop ever known will be made. This is as it should be, especially in war times.—Mobile Mercury. The wheat crop in this section is now con sidered safe, and it will be tho largest ever harvested.—Clar/.snlls Jeffersonian. The wheat and corn crop in Bedford are very promising.—Shelbynlle Expositor. Wheat Crop.—The prospects of the wheat crop in this section of the country, we are proud to say, never was more favorable. It bids fair for an abundant harvest. Soon it will be ready for tbe sickle. Much more was sown last lull than usual, and consequently the yield will be much greater than the pre vious year.—Concord (if. 0.) Flog. We have made diligent inquiry of our plant ing friends in regard to the prospeot of Ibe wheat orop.and are gratified to learn that there never has been as good a prospect for an abun dant yield. It is said that the present crop, in this section, will bo at least one third more than that of Iasi year. — Cherokee Mountaineer. The wheat orop, too, looks finely, though we hear some complaint relative to rust upon tbe blade. Most of it, however, is so forward t hat we do not think much injury will result from it. Oats, too, look well, and we hear no com plaiut relative lo rust attacking them. For several years past ibis disease has oatusd great injury to this useful crop, causing in some places ao almost total failure.—Louisville {Ga ) Gazette. Between this point aud Dublin, says tbe Pulaski 44 Times,” crops look excellently, and appearances now lodicate an abundant har vest. The wheat and rye fields are heavy with grain, and have as yet been little affected by rust. Corn looks unusually well, and tbe yield bids fair to be a largo one. Corn in Mississippi.—^Tho Carrolton (Miss.) 44 Democrat” says: Wo have made particular inquiry of our farmers, and have received the uniform reply that they are all planting much more ooru than usual. Some say, if their crops turn out as they now promise, they will make enough corn to supply their ova wanto for two years. Desertions fr»m Lincoln’s Aemy.—A Washington letter says: Scott is losing over 1,0<V) men every week from desertion alone, as his troops are nearly starved and won’t May. The famous OUth Irish Regiment, from New York, lost 104 men by desertion in three days, end they joined ibn camp of tbe Virgin ia troops, as two full companies, at Mannas sat Gan Junction, which is only fifteen miles from Washington City.
