Richmond, Virginia, Juno 5, 1861. Since the arriral of the Warrior-PreeiJent to this oily, au extraordinary impetus baa been given to the movements of troope and lo the military spirit and enthusiasm of the country. June, in all ages, has been marked as the month of battles, and our authorities, military and civil, are convinced that it will have its bloody harvest and add to its gory renoton on the toil of Virginia. The Secretary of War, General Walker, is of opinion that a great battle will soon be fought at some point oa the line from Alexandria to Harper's Ferry, and at other placet. Under the influence of a similar impression, derived from a high source, Gov. Letcher has issued a proclamation for the immediate as semblage of tho militia of tho State, who are directed to arm thomselves with such arms as they may be able to procure, and hold them selves in readiness for important and immedi ate action. AU the Velunteer companies which have not already been mustered into servioe, are direc ted forthwith to report themselves for duty. Ths Federal troops at Alexandria are labor ing with superhuman exertions in strengthen ing and fortifying Alexandria, so at to afford protection to any movements made towards Harper's Ferry, and provide a strong post be hind which the soldi era of Lioooln may fall and rally in the event of a defeat by Beaure gard at Manassas Junction, a short distance above the city. Bight thousand Pennsylvania troops art ru mored to beat Martinsburg, in Berkley county, about twenty-five utiles above Harper's Perry. Jf thit is true, your readers trill perceive at once that it is most unfortunate, as they occupy a posi tion threatening to Harper s Ferry and dan gerous to Winchester, Virginia, a town of con siderable slse, which may even now be in their possession. That we will continue to be invaded until «v invade, there is no doubt. Active skirmishing continues between the Confederate and Abolition scouts in the vicin ity of Alexandria. Two or three sentinela, posted on the border of the enemy's camp, are reported to have been killed on Monday or Tuesday night, by a brother of the lamented hero who killed the valiant Ellsworth. He swears, it is said, that the account between his vengeance and the cowardly murderers of bis brava brother, shall never abate while one re mains to insult the sacred earth beneath which hie idolised remains gloriously sleeps. Two of Lincoln's steamers are guarding the Potomac River, opposite Alexandria, in readi- uass to land, at a moment’s notice, field artil lery to operate against the Confederates in esse of an attack. The prominent cUitens of Alexandria who voted for seoeasion, are said to express their sentiment in the strongest language, refusing to be awed into slavish submission by the pres ence of an armed foe. Disloyalty raises its re beltious head at the risk of having its brains blown out, and evon in the poor, down-trodden City of Alexandria its brave citisens, unawed by threats, will speak their mind, " though hell itself should gepe and bid them hold their peace." May a merciful God hasten the day of their deliveranoe from the clanking chains of a tyranny worse than death. At Manatees Junction, there ere sixty pris oners taken from the « Blacks” awaiting their fete, which will depend entirely upon the treat ment and final disposition made by Lincoln of the forty or forty-five cavalry captured by hie forces at Alexandria, now in confinement in Washington. OBSERVER. this account private messenger, who also delivered au ur gent appeal for an immediate reinforemeut of a thousand man. Gcv. Letcher made a special oall upon the militia of eight or ten counties iu that saotloa of the North-West, several days ago, who are repertedto have rein (breed eur troepe proper story to an immediate attack on the enemy.— No reinforcements from Richmond could reach them in time. The report in the Black Republican papers of our total rout, and whloh was republished In our city papers yesterday, is a fie, and the account sent you is the only one whioh has reached here through a reliable channel. As sn incident corroborative of what basal ready been demonstrated—the bate, villainous character of the blackguards hired to invade Virginia—I give the following facte, reported by a gentleman who arrived here on yeeter day from the vicinity of the occurrence: An Abolition cut throat went into the house of a poor laborer residing not far from Hamp ton Roads, who was away from home engaged In hie daily toil, leaving but an innocent daughter of 15 or 16, dressed in simple mourn ing for her mother, who had been dead but a short time, and two little sons, the elder 11 or IS years of age. Beneath that roof—the lowly temple of a mourning daughter's honor—the un feeling wretch, aware of its unprotected con dition, entered, and, throwing his arms around the waiat of the beautiful and unsullied girl, violently kissed her, and was proceeding to take other liberties, when her heroic little brother seised a heavily loaded gun which sat behind the door, and stealthily placing it near the scoundrel’s skull, blew off* a large portion of his bead I The name of the dead brute is said to be Ellis, of New York, a relation, doubtless, of Ells worth, the young military God shot by Jackson, whilst stealing his flag. To give yonr readers some knowledge of the bravery of our Virginia girls, (one of whom, a resident of this city, has thrown her valuable diamonds end jewelry into the treasury of her bleeding State, end all of whom would be wil ling, like the Cartbagenian girls, to convert their hair into bow strings to use against tbe enemy.) I may mention the following incident, of whose accuracy there is not the shadow of a doubt: When our troops left Alexandria, a Rifle Company, in the confusion and haste whioh attended their sudden retreat from the city, left behind them e beautiful flag. As soon as the Federal troops arrived, they commenced searching all the barracks, and appropriating every article they could find. A young lady —Miss Morrill—ran to the quarters of the Ri fle Company, and seising their flag, wrapped it around her waiat, and bore it off in triumph. She then secreted it in her trunk of clothing, and the next day delivered it, with her own hands, to tho Company, of which her brother is the Captain—then at Manassas Junction ! OBSERVER.

An intelligent gentleman, who has just ar rived here from the North, asserts that the cautious military tactics of Scott are producing great dissatisfaction among the leaders there, who are bold in their innendoes of his disloy alty and unfittedness to command. The war feeling of the masses, be says, they perceive, is burning rapidly out, and can only be revived by sudden movements, terrible ex citement, and decisive advantages quickly gained. In the North where the lying and falsehood of leaders are losing their explosive foroe and effect open the multitude, the war fever is rap idly convalescing, while here, it is only in em bryo—the first stage scarcely entered upon, and the developments but partially begun.— The President, since bis arrival here, haagiven an impolsa to it only equalled by the fatal de cay of its strength and fierceness at the North. He has been laboring night and day, while the doors of the War Department are never closed. Competent and experienced engineers have been directed to prepare for the defenses of various places heretofore neglected. Additional Batteries along the coast have been ordered to be constructed, and arrange ments made for the immediate transportation of troops and baggage to the remotest parts of the State. The stream of soldiers from tbe far South continues unabated. Yesterday evening there arrived a fr.mous Zouave Regiment, directly from Fort Pickens, composed of 500 Louisianians, of French de scent, and 150 desperate, blood-thirsty looking Swiss and Irish, of New Orleans. The larger portion of the Regiment were in the Crimean war. They are a brave, muaoular, sun-brown ed set, who, it is said, will be sent at once to Manassas Junction, that they may have an op portunity to gratify a penchant that afflicts them to meet the "pet lembe” of the slain God —"Ellsworth’s Zouaves.” A meeting of the bank authorities is report* ed to have been held in this city, at which it was resolved to receive on deposite and recog nise as curreney Treasury notes, issued by au thority ef the Government. The offset will be to place the netee of the Government on the same firm foundation with the bills ef solvent banks, and thereby convert them into part of the recognised curreney of the country. Sug gestions are being made, too, by tbe press and the patriots here, that Congress shall be urged Jo adopt immediate measnree for purchasing the tobacco crop of the State, under tbe same previsions and by the smm modus oporemdi whioh govern tbe sale and payment of the ®otten crop.

V Richmond, Virginia, June t, 1861. The Old Dominion is one vast camp. Not only have thousands of her own sons buckled on their armor, but tens of thousands of tbe very flower and chivalry of the South hare rushed to her rescue. Not a train enters hsr borders from tbe West or tbe Bontb that dose net awell the gathering hosts. They eome up from the wilds of Arkansas and Texas, from gallant Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and foremost of all, from Intrepid Georgia and South Carolina. Rot one spirit animates the moving legions, and that Is to wash out the foot prints of the invader with his own blood. There sen be no such thing es peace so long as a single Abolitionist remains upon the soil. It would be imprudent to enter into details as to our military operations. Correspondents and newspapers, as wall as readers, must be patient, end learn to be content with the eon viction that our oivil rulers end military lead era are equal to the emergency, and that they are backed np by as gallant a set of men as ever trod the earth. Such information as it would be prudent to publish, I shall be glad to communicate to you from time to time. It should never be forgotten, however, that secre cy is one of the chief elements of military sue cess. The Third Georgia Regiment—Cel. Wright— is stationed at the Navy Yard near Norfolk.— The Fourth—Col. Doles—is some fifteen miles below Norfolk towards Newport# News. The Georgia Battalion—Major Hardeman—is on camped at Tanner’s Cross Roads, wight miles North-East of Norfolk, excepting the Colum bus Light Guards—Cspt. Colquitt—who are at Sewell’s Point It was understood, however, a few days ago, when I left Norfolk, that tbe whole battalion would aoon be ordered to 8ewe!l’s Point. The Third and Fourth Regi moots have suffered considerably from Mea sles—six having died—but on Thursday last a marked improvement was visible. Major Hardeman’s command has en joyed good health all tbe time. It may be remarked in general terma, that Norfolk is defended by a sufficient number of batteries and men, both on land and water, to keep out any force that Lincoln will be able to detail for ita attack. Its defensive works are not yet complete, but will be in a short time Even now it would be wholly impracticable for the land and naval force in and about For tress Mouroe to reach the city. There ia one battery in the river that will be able, in a few days, to sink the entire fleet now in tbe service of the United States. Tbe opinion is gaining ground, that it is no part of the present programme of the Federal Government to attack Norfolk; at least not un til after the reduction of Richmond. It is be lieved that a large foroe will be directed against the State from Ohio; another similar force from Pennsylvania; while a third corps d’armce will attempt to cut its way from Alexandria, aud a fuurth from Old Point Comfort. This last di vision will leave Norfolk to tbe left and pro ceed up tbe Teninsular between James and York Rivers, aided by a naval force. Haviog secured Richmond, their idea is that they will have a better footing upon which to commence negotiations for the settlement of our difficul ties and the establishment of boundaries. It is my judgment, that they would take the West bank of the Potomac for a boundary line in the North Eaat, and the Southern line of Missouri in tbe North-West, and the Southern bank of the Ohio River in the North, should Kentucky come with us, which she will do. o Indeed, I believe that the Federal Govern ment would settle upon this boundary now but for tbe political necessity that is upon them The Republican party desire to retain their bold upon power, and to justify themselves be fore the Northern poople, and this, they very well know, is impossible to do without first ex asperating and misleading the people, and making them believe we are wrong and de serve a good thrashing, whether we get it or not. Personal and party ambition is at the bot tom of the war, just as it was the moving cause of the last war that Mr. Pitt engaged in againat Napoleon. , The 1st regiment Georgia Volunteers—Col. Ramsay—arrived here a few days ago from Pensacola, and will leave this afternoon or to morrow for Pbillippa, near the Pennsylvania line. It ia the best regiment in the army, ow ing to their experience and length of servioe. Col. Bartow’s regiment and Col.GartreU’s have gone to Harper’s Ferry; and Co). Colquitt’s, the 6th, has been ordered to Yorktown. Thus, you see, our Georgia boys are assigned to the post of danger v which is the post of hon or) in every direction. The truth is, the vol unteers from the Empire State rank very high. Indeed, if one may judge from conversations along the railways and in the hotels, they stand at the head of the list, as wall in equip ment and organisation, as in drill and materi al. That sueh Is also the judgment of military men, may be inferred from tbe fact that they have been invariably assigned to arduous aud important duties. President Davis, mounted upon a snow-white charger, reviewed, yesterday afternoon, the Louisiana battel ion of Washington Artillery, one of the finest bodies of soldiery on the con tinent. The President sits on his horse most cheerfully, and haa the air of a thorough-bred chieftain. Hit appearance excited great en thusiasm and applause. A. President Davie and Got.

Va ether partiaolare have ye! reaebed us. U may be that tha whole rumor la without fanndalian. I was present yesterday afternoon at How ard's Grove, whan Praaidant Daria, aeoonpa a!ed by 0ev. Lata bar, tat laved tbe Uh Geor gia Regiment, Cal. Ramsey. At tbe aenelu- aien of tbe review, tbe President, sitting aa bis splendid charger, addressed tbe regiment In n few soul-stirring ward#, in tbe course of which ha paid thsm, and tha gallant Stata from whemoe they earns, a high compliment. Cel. Ram My called far three cheer# far the Warrior President, which ware given by (be regiment with a heartiness that almost made tbe ground (ramble beneath our feet. Though not tbe usual way af mnaifestlng ret peat in military oirolis, still, It seemed ta gratify tha Preeldant. who gracefully bowed his acknow ledgments. Gov. Letcher, n round-beaded, fu**/-look ing sort of n personage, was introduced to tbe Regiment by Col. Ramsay, when be avail ed himself of the occasion to inform them, that ha should aooompsoy tha regiment and tha other forces ordered lo the north western part of the 8tate. It is said that tha 1st Georgia Regiment has dons more hard work than any regiment In the sorties. It was the first ta reach Pen- eaoola, and from tha day of their arrival ua- til that of their departure, they were engaged, almost without intermission, in throwing up send batteries, building bomb-proof msge- sines, and drawing heavy cannon from a fourth to a half mile through the deep sand and burning sun. This asrviea has rendered them a hardy, athletic, son burnt set of fol lows, oqual to any emergency, and capable of thrashing double their number of blue-noses out of their boots. I was prssent when Col. Ramsay read out tha order to proceed ever tbe mountains to Pbillippa. He added a word or two of patriotic remark, and concluded by pointing his bony finger to tha northwest and saying, "Thera is tha road to tbe enemy—to morrow we march. ” Tbe remark eeemed to eleetrify tbe regiment, who sent np a shout that would have made old Abe tremble in bis shoes, if he oould have heard if. It is oot thought here that there will be any general engagement for some weeks. Nei ther side is fully prepared, though they both have sufficient forces in tbe field to get up n grand affair. Volunteers., however, require lime to drill and to become equipped for ao- tive duty, and especially is time required in organizing the commissary's and quarter-mas ter's departments. There will be more or less skirmishing overy day or two, and it may be that some of these skirmishes will lead to a general battle at some of the many points where the hostile forces are In olose proximi ty to each other; as, for instsnoe, in the di rection of Newport News, Manassas Gap and Harper’s Ferry. When the contest begins in earnest, the fighting will be rspid and bloody. I do not believe i have mentioned yet the names of tbe several officers who are iu com mand at the important points along tbe fron tier. Gen. Huger, the best offioer in the ord nance department of the lste U. S. Army, has charge of (he forces in and about Norfolk. Gen. Megruder, who was a Major, and ons of tbe finest offioers in the lata service, has command at Yorktown. Gen. Beauregard at Manassas Gap ; Gen. Johnstone at Harper’s Ferry, end Gen. Garnett near Pbillippa.— There were no better officers in tbe late army than Johnstone and Garnett. It is understood that for ths present, Msj. Gen. Lae ia ehief in command of all these foreee. though it is reported that all orders of a general nature proceed directly from the President. Wheth er the President will take the field is not yst certainly known, though suoh is the general bslief. He keeps his own oounsels; and, as a general rule, when you hear that he is going to do a thing, you may set it down as untrue. His intentions are only known by what ha has already done. Dr. Miller, of Floyd County, has been ap pointed Surgeon in Col. Bartow's Regiment. He left Riebmond this morning for Harper’i Ferry, where the regiment is stationed. While at Craney Island, below Norfolk, last week, I saw a large number of free negroes at work upon the batteries, and was told that 800 had volunteered their serviooe from Pe tersburg alons. They are doing good service, for which they receive ample compensation The abolition foreee along the line of ths Po tomso steal and entiee away all the slaves that eome within their reeoh, and then pat them to bard work, in ths faoe of all their fair promises. You hare doubtless heard of the gallant conduct of Cspt. Wm. II. Worth, in the neigh borhood of Hampton. He was on n recon- noitering expedition, some distance In ad vance of hlseompany, whan he fonnd himself suddenly in the presence of five of the enemy Nothing daunted, he instantly drew hie re volver end eommeneed firing, as did the other party. It so happened, bewever, that the intrepid Captain was need to that kind of vork, and was quite cool, whiok wee no! the ones with tbe enemy. Tbe result was, he killed two ef the party, whs were officers, when tbe retaaiader retreated. The mule riddei by sue af tha party was killed by tha Captain's last shat, whew the rider ieeeatl- meetly took to the bushes. The gallant Cap- tala is reperted te hare been much shift!aed that the bad ground upon which tha fight teak place prevented hie bagging attfise.

If thee# accounts he tree, (end they are said to some from most reliable sou roes,) then the Yankees have been mede to bite the dust ia good fashion. General Megruder was stationed with tbe Confederate forces on tha line between the soon tie* of York and Elisabeth City, near Bethel Church, end somo six miles from New port News. This was on Saturday. On the af ternoon of that day, a raoonooitariag party, 100 strong, was seen in the direction of Hampton, and when it had reached the neighborhood of that town, it enoountered eome 300 of tho eno my, who were on a similar expedition. Cap tain McDowell, who commanded the Confed erate party, gare orders to fire, which was promptly obeyed, and as promptly returned The Yankees were forced to retreat, with a lose of some ten to fifteen, and with only a few wounded on onr side. It was thought prudent not to parsue them, however, as the enemy waa posted ia considerable numbers within a half a mile of the soene of action. They car ried off their dead and wounded in carts te Hampton. They fired badly—some of their shots being lodged in the trees far above the heeds of eur men—unless they had been twice as high as Goliah On Monday morning following, (yesterday,) the enemy, smarting under the defeat of Sat urday, turned out to the number of over 3,000, and wss trying, it is believed, to reach York town—in doing which, it was necessary for them toptMGeneral McGruder’a lines at Bethe* Church, where he was stationed with a force of 2,200 Confederate troops. The accounts say, that tbe Lincolnites commenced the attaok, and that they were repulsed with a loss of 300 men, in killed and wounded; while onr loss was inconsiderable, not exceeding ten to fif teen. At laat accounts, our boys were follow ing up their vietory and pressing the enemy with great vigor. General Magruder had but six cannon (description not known) engaged in the action ; bnt these were well posted. Our Iom was confined mostly to the Nottoway Cav alry, whose horses, it seems, mired in attempt ing to pass from one point of the field to another. The above news has reached the city from two sources—one direct from the sosne of ac tion r—and they both agree so nearly, that there seems to be but little doubt of ita truth. Further news ia expectsd hourly. Thors ie no telegraphic line io the direction of Hamp ton, or we should have had further details be fore this. Bethsl Church is only eome thirteen miles above Fortress Monroe, where the enemy is stationed in great force. A. Sewn from the War! DETAILS OF BATTLES AND OTHER INTERESTING ITEMS. From the Charleston Mercury. Richkond, June 12.—The news which I telegraphed yon yesterday, about the defeat of the Yankees at Bethel Church Is confirmed in all substantial partioulars. It seems that tbe enemy, forty-five hundred strong,while march ing, before day on Monday morning, up the peninsula, wars encountered at Bethel Churoh, eleven miles beyond Hampton, by Magruder, with about fifteen hundred men. AAtr n spirited oombat of but short duration, tbe en emy were defeated and pursued some miles to wards Hampton by our vietorious troops.— Their loss ie estimated by Mr. Anderson, of Hampton, an eye-witness, at about three hun dred killed. Our lots ie reported lo be sev enteen killed. ong the killed on the enemy's side was Col. George Duryea. the former Colonel of the New York Seventh Regiment. He was in com mand of the New York Zouavsa (1500 in num • bar,) who participated in the engagement.— When his oolumn reeled, and broke under our fire, Duryea endeavored to rally them. Aa hs advanced towards our trenches, he was shot through tbe heart. The Zouavee immediate ly turned end fled in every direction, our troops porsuiog them for a short distance. Three of the Zouavee were made prisoners. They sey that General Butler oommanded in person .and that his fores was between 4,500 and 5,000 men. They acknowledge a loss In killed of 150, bat say only a small portion of tbeir foroe was brought into aetion. Col. Wardrop. U. 8. A., was killed.
