Take care of the Coast—Take care of your
Cottoa*
It ia svident that bo attack will bo made on
oar eoeai ikko sanamsr and fall. Lincoln is
afraid of Yollow Jack; but wa may ozpootour
•» apart* to bo availed next win lor. Tbea the
war will bo vigorously pushed against ua, both
on tho coast and on th* border. Now it the
time that our troupe by a bold and vigorous ef
fort, should drive the enemy from our borders
and break up their footing there. When win
ter comes, our men from the South cannot
stand tho Virginia climate as wall as the Yan
kees ; hence, they will then bare the advant
age of us in that respect. On this score we
consider delays dangerous.
But when Jack Frost has killed Yellow
Jack, wo may look out for all our aoaports to bo
attacked and our wholaooaet to bo invaded,
wherever a landing can bo effected. Aro wo
ready for this? Are our authorities alive to
this important consideration f We hope so.
In view of this, we advise all our farmers
not to ship their cotton to market until very
near the time for telling it. Five hundred
thousand bales at Charleston or Savannsb; or
a million at Mobile or New Orleans, would be
an additional inducemsnt to the thieving Lin-
coluitee to take the eiiy. Wouldn’t it be rel
ished by the scoundrels to capture our cotton
send it to Europe, get the money for it, end
expend it in our subjugation, or supply their
own idle mills with it? It must not be per
mitted.
Thereto: t, we eay to every farmer, don’t
scud your cotton to market, till you know it
can be sold as toon as it reaches the place.
“But what about the Cotton Loan and the
number of bales I have agreed to have in
market on e certain day ?” many will ask.
There is no difficulty on that score. Unless
the blockade is raised, the cotton cannot be
sold. If it can’t be sold, the Government don’t
want it at market. The Government will be
es effectually served with your cotton at home
under your own shelter, as lying ins ware
house in Augusta or Savannah, if it cannot be
sold.' When it can be sold, the planter will
want it at market, and so will the Govern
ment. As Mr. Hill so tersely expresses it:
“The interests of the planter and tho Govern
ment are exactly parallel, and conflict no
where.”
Don’t send your cotton to market before it
can be sold.
P. 8. Since the foregoing was written we
find the following letter in the Charleston

lion. O. M. Dantzler, St. Mathew's Parish
South Carolina:
Six: \our letter of lbs Gtii instant, makes
an enquiry which I find repeated from several
other quarters, to which I think it best to
make a public reply. The enquiry is, wheth
er, in esse no sales esu be made before the
day named, in the ootton subscriptions, with
out a sacrifice of the property, the sales art
still to bs insisted ou. I answer, certainly
not. The day named is upon the presumption
that the blockade will be broken, and that
sales of produce can be then made. I propose
to submit another plan to provide for the con
tingency of a continuance of the blockade,
which win allow an indefinite retention of the
crop. But it constitutes no part of either
pUn to force the produce on the market at a
sacrifice.
With much respect, your ob’t ssrv’t,

Richmond, July 13.
I should have mentioned, in my latter of
yesterday, that the Troup Artillery, Captain
Stanley, from Athens, Ga., aud the Cutts Artil
lery, Captain Cutts, from Americus, are now
encamped near this city. The former corps
has bean attached to the 9th Alabama Regi
ment, and has received orders to be reedy te
leave iu four days. It is believed that they
will go to Winchester. The Cutts Artillery
have not yet been provided with guns or hors
es, and it is impossible to say when they will
leave, or for what point.
Letters from Washington to the Baltimore
“ Sou ** estimates the number of regiments that
have reached that place at 80, and the nutn
her that have crossed over to Alexandria and
it* vicinity at 83. Another letter puts down
the Federal forces on tbit aids of the Potomac
at 62,000 men. This estimate, however, ia too
large. These forces are under the immediate
commend of Gen. McDowell.
Gen. Pattersons command, at Martinsburg
is being rapidly reinforced. He cannot have
lees than 30,000 men at and near that place,
and, in a few days, the number may reach
40,000. The large number of locomotives and
ears which the invader has at his command,
enables him to transport troops and munitions
from point to point with great facility. Can’t
severed railway companies in Georgia send on
a portion of their locomoUve power and roll
ing stock to Virginia? They could easily spare
them during the summer, and early fall
months until the cotton crop is ready for mar
ket, or rather until the blockade shall b« rais
ed. In a grain oeuntry like this, the roads art
not to libortlly provided with thomoantef
transposition as tbs roods ere in the ooltoo
States.
At an evidence of the temper of the North

Richmond, July 13,1801.
I hare held this letter open till the Inst
moment, hoping lo get something reliable in
regard to the late unfortunate affair in the
neighborhood of Laurel Hill, some account
of which you hare already had by telegraph.
At the moment I write, the town la the Tic
tim (no other word ls*so applicable) of num
berless rumors, some of which are of the
most painful character. Which la true and
which is (Mae, it were impossible^) decide.
The doubt and pain and uneasiness every
where felt, should, it seems to me, suggest
to the War Department the propriety here
after of allaying the public anxiety by pub-
lisliing bulletins from time to time when a
battle U (ought.
I shall not attempt to give you even an
outline of the msuy'rumors that are flying
about the streets. You will find them at
length in the morning papers. After com
pariDg the one with the other, and sifting
and winnowing them as best I can, where
there U so much excitement and contradic
tion, I present you the following statement,
derived from a high functionary as, probably,
the most reliable that can be had until fuller
accounts come to baud.
Gen. Garnett, as you arc aware, is in com
mand of the Confederate forces beyond the
mountains in the direction of Beverly. Hear
ing of the approach of the vanguard of Mc
Clellan's invading column, he despatched
Col Heck.of this State (with what force I
connot learn, tho’ probably a regiment,) to
check hU advance. By some means Lieut.
Col. Pegram and three companies, having
been detached from Col. Ileck’s command,
encountered an everwhelming force of the
enemy estimated at 12,000 men. The last
heard of Col Heck, he had about (100 men,
with whom he was making his way back to
Gen. Garnett's camp. Attached to the little
band, under Lieut Col. Pegram, was a small
battery which 9ccms to have done great ex-
enution. He is represented to have held the
enemy in check for some hours. IIU loss is
variously stated, but the most reliable ac
counts put it at 30 to 40 killed, and about TO
wounded. How many prisoners were taken
is yet unkuomn. Among those who were
dangerously wounded, is Col. Pegram who
was taken prisoner. All the Captains under
his command, it U said, were killed, or woun
ded and taken prisoners. Many, however,
who were supposed to have been killed, cap
tured or wounded, were coming in at lost
accounts, and it is hoped our loss is not so
heavy as it was first stated to be. Among the
the officers who were killed, was Captain 8.
T. Bayly, a promising young lawyer of this
city and a brother of the 1st. congt essman
from this State of that name.
The loss of the enemy is estimated at 300
to 330. HU entire force in and about Phil*
lippa U put down at 20,000. Ours is much
less. It is said that every man at our little
battery was killed except one named Lanier,
who, after all his comrades had fallen, and
thongh wounded himself, twice waded one
of tho guns and fired it.
Thus far the battle was a most glorious af-
feir. The most painful part of the news re
lates to the position of Gen. Garnett himself.
A rumor'haa reached here through the same
channel by which the above account ia de
rived, that he had fallen back from Laurel
Hill, and that by aome unexplained move
ment, McClellan bad thrown a considerable
force in his rear, and thus separated him
from reinforcements that were on their way
to hU headquarters. These consisted in part
of one Georgia regiment under Col. John
son, one VirginU regiment under Col. Scott,
and an Alabama regiment, all of whom, at
the date of the latest intelligence, were to
gether about 40 miles beyond Staunton, and
making all haste across the mountains. I
put very little lalth in the report so far as it
relates to Garnett’s position.
The programm* of (Jen. 8colt U now be
lieved to be thla: For McClellan to drive
Garnett back, and either to occupy Staunton
or join Patterson, who is to force Johnaton
back from Winchester in the direction of
Manassas. When this lias been done, a
movement will be mode from Alexandria
under the immediate command of General
Scott, with a view to the occupation of Rich
mond. It U said that Gen. Scott crossed the
Potomac into VirginU to-day.
Well, the Northern Coagren hae convened ;
tho President hae sent in his massage; tho re
port! of tho Cabinet officers have been pub-
liehed, and the two Iloueoa art proceeding
with alacrity to register the deereee of tho
President, and to vote the men and money be
hae called for. Thera woe a gaaeral disposi
tion on the part of (he South to eweit the re
aeeembling of the Frderal Congresa; for oar
pes|<le wort alow le beliere that tbe North,
without sufficient cauee and against ell rea-
aooable proepect of auccesi, aeriously intend
ed te attempt the eubjugalien of (be Confed
erate Stetee. The proofs before us ehould re
move all doubts, both as to the designs of
the enemy and as to our own uuty. In one
of my first letters to your journal, I took
occasion to caution the public against the
folly of underrating the strength and nour-
age of our adversaries, and especially of
judging the enemy and squaring our own
conduct by each judgment. The justice or
Injustice of tbe war should not be allowed
to exercise the least Influence upon our own
conduct. It U tbe part of wisdom to .lake
the enemy at hU word. If he says he In
tends to march 34t,M0 men down upon us,
C crush out the rebellion by hU ewefwi ’
mis, prudence and duty Mike should dlc-
m to u> the u«cee»ity of preparing to meet
Ub 000,000 men, even though we might be
llere tlmt be wae attempting to frighten o*
by his threat* nod bluster. Tbe surest way
to prevent hi* coming to, to shew him we
are ready to meet him «ny time and at any
place and In any number*.
U U tbe opinion of many shrewd men hsjs,
that the Woehlegton Government did not In
tend in the outstt to attempt to reduce tho
eooodod 8ioAoe by invasion. There ore (hoe#
who beliere that such wit not, end le not
now, Ike programme of Oen. Scott. Accord
iog to their theory, tbe opinion prerelled be
jond (he Potomac that a majority of the peo
pie in the seceded Stales were derated lo the
Union, and that en imposing military demon
Btrxtion by (be Federal Government wxa all
that wxe needed, lo enable thefts Union men
to get oonlrol of (hose Stales and (the them
back into tbe Union. If these men are right,
iben the President nod hie Lieutenant Gen
eral bare been guilty of tbe mistake against
which your renders bare lsen cautioned
ris : that of underrating the spirit and deter
mination of those who are opposed to them
Rut if such even wae the prevailing polioy at
Washington, and it probably was at one lime,
it has since been changed, at leaat so far as
the Government is concerned Like Maobttb,
they hare
“slept in so far.
Returning were as tedious as to go o’er.’
Congress had shown itself most subservient,
and the unemployed artisans, laborers and
factory hands have volunteered with alacrity;
and tbe result is, a great war has been agreed
upon as the only means to save the Republi
can party and perpetuate its bold upon power.
Let tbe people of the South then accept this
war in all its huge proportions as a fact
stern reality—which can be neither avoided
nor postponed. Tbe enemy has tbe advantage
of us in men, arms sod munitions; yet with
energy and resolution on our part, there need
be no uneasiness as to the reeult. Indeed, the
adoption of a vigorous policy by our Govern
meet, backed up by the hearts and purses of
our people, may render tbe contest short,
sharp aud successful. If we would stop tbe
war, we must convince the “ calculating Van
kee" that it won't pay ; und the surest way to
do that is to whip him.
You have doubtless beard of the capture of
three Connecticut officers near Falls Church
by two Virginia girls, the Misses Scott. Their
mother—an aged and highly respectable lady
—resides in a retired valley not far from the
lines of the enemy, and the girls, who are in
telligent and goud looking, on two different
occasions, having encountered a sergeaut and
corporal, decoyed them to the house and en-
tertalued them vety agreeably, until notice
could be sent to tho Confederates, who were
soon on hand and arrested the gentlemen. In
the same way, being ne*r the pickets of a
Connecticut regiment, they effected to be
frigbtei ed, aud asked a Captain to be so good
as to see them to the house, where he, too,
was soon bagged and seut off. Finding these
heroic girls as captivating as tbe meu are
dangerous, the President has had them ar
rested and taken to Washington, to be held as
hostages for the safe return of the officers.

Messrs. Editors: Aware of the eagerness
with which everything from thia section is
read by your subscribers, I have concluded to
send you the encloeed report of a conflict be
tween a small scouting party from my Battal
ion and the Federal pickets. Having been
separated from the regiment proper, and sta
tioned with my battalion of 4 companies, snd
two companies of Virginia cavalry, at thia
place, we constituted a portion of the advance
guard. I thought it prudent, therefore, to tend
out a reconnoitcring party, to ascertain, if
possible, the position of the enemy’s pickets,
and to apprise us of any approach. The en
closed report will give you eome idea of the
result. We are frequently alarmed at night,
and sleep on our arms; but I have too much
confidence in the prudence of our neighbors
over the way to sarionsly apprehend a nearer
approach to our lines than their breastworks
at Alexandria.
Yours, Ac , J. B. G.
To Major John B. Gordon, Commanding Forets
at LangsUr't Cross Roads, Vo.:
In accordance with yonr orders, I left our
camp oa Friday morning, June 28th, at nine
’slock, A. M., ia command of a scouting par
ty, <oDeleting of tea cavalry, five from the
Goochland (Va )Trtopt, sad five from the Gov
ernor’s Mounted Guards, (from Kiohmoad,)
xadar Lieu Ue not Cham barley ne, of the latter
oorpe; and forty eight Infantry—consisting of
taw privates and a sergeant from Boesell Vol
unteers, (Ala.) under Lieutenant Hooper;
Move* and a sergaaat from the Autauga (Ala )
Rifles, under Lieut. Davie; tea fronKjHsnry
Blues, under Lieut. Bell, and ten from the
44 Raccoon Roughs,” under Lieutenant War
ren.
Having heard that the enemy were in con
siderable fore# at Aeoatineb Mills, we pro-
needed down the Aeeatineh road to within 19
mi Ira of Poluek Church, where we received
reliable information that none of the enemy
were at Accatioch, or had been there fer a
week. We then took the dircetion to Alexan
dria, keeping ia the woede ee mueh os poesi
ble. and following tba by-paths. We encamp
ed for the night (Friday) within threa end a
balf mile# of Alexandria, wbera we intended
to remain until guides could be procured, and
obtain, in the meantime, euy information of
importance thet we could. Early on Saturday
morniug we withdrew to the neighborhood of
Burke’s Station, having beooms satisfied that
the enemy had been informed of our wheree-
boute by one Gillingham, who, with bis two
sods, we have every reason to believe, act as
spies for the enemy.
While near Burke’s Station, we were joined
by several scouts, who gave us definite in for
motion of tbe location of several of the ene
my's pickets, and offered to lead us by a per
fectly safe route to their station. Considering
the force under my command too large to op
crate with effectuality, I sent back half of it,
and tbe cavalry horses, under commend of
Lieut. Hooper.
We then advanced on tbe picket stationed
at the junction of tbe telegraph and county
roads, within one mile of Alexandria, snd
three fourths of a mile from the battery
8huter’e hill. This picket we attacked be
tween three and foar o’clock on Sunday morn
iog, and killed eight of the enemy, according
to the beet estimate we could make. We have
since heard that five others were wounded and
five missing.
I regret to report tbe loss, on our side, of
sergeant Haynes, of tbe Governor’s Guards,
who was killed while bravely reconnoitoring
tbe enemy’s pickets, for which dutv he had
been detailed. None of our men were wound
ed in tbe slightest degree. The fight lasted
only about four or five minutes—the enemy
having fired but one volley before they fled.—
We retired as soon as the affair was over, and
reached our camp at five o’clock on Sunday
evening, without interruption. Not more than
twenty-five shots were fired by our side, and
twelve or fifteen by the enemy.
Although the fight was a small one, it serv
ed to show the coolness and deliberation of
our men, which cannot be too highly praised.
Every officer and man did his duty, and the
pieces wore discharged with the greatest ac
curacy. The success of the affair was, in i
great measure, due to Mr. Robert Mason, whose
coolness, gallantry, and accurate knowledge
of the country, I should think, will combine
to make his services invaluable to us.
We attacked the pickets nearest Alexaudri
first, intending to espture those most remote
as we returned, but the alarm created in the
city, by tbe firing, cuused us to retreat be
fore accomplishing the object.
Below is a plan of the roads where the af
fair occurred.

W h.t England Hctm to Do—The O, inlou
of Mr. Dallas.
The correspondent of the New York Tri
bune gives the following unvarnished state-1
ment of the views of Hon. Geo. M. Dallas,
lute United States Minister to the Couitot
St. James, with regard to the policy of Eng
land in reference to the Confederate States:
Mr. Dallas convenes very unreservedly
about the feeling of the British Ministry to
ward* this Government. He believed the
Ministry to be hostile to us, and that Lord
John Bussell's early recognition of the reli
els as belligerents was not a premature dec
laration, to be repented of hereafter, hut a
deliberate policy to be adhered to as far as
it goes. lie is disponed to believe that the
great arbiter is cotton—tlmt a* the stock on
hand will keep the English mills employed
until November, the Ministry will not open
ly countenance th. rebellion until it is ascer
tained whether the new crop is to he export
ed or not It we crash the rebels and permit
the new crop to be exported, all will he
satisfactory to John Bull; if we fail to do so,
and Joint Bull has to do without cotton, then
some occasion w ill be found to get up a dif
Acuity and force the blockade. If the war
here continue* until November, Bull will
keep tolerably quiet, making only an occa
aional roaring. Hence, aa the time for ship
ping the new crop approaches, the question
of how England means to act will be more
clearly answered. Mr. IMla* thinks that if
the ministry were to he too openly for the
rebellion now, Exeter Hall would turn them
out forthwith, while, unless they made some
show of favoring tbe Cotton Lords, they
would do the same thing; so as it is for of
fice, after all, that they are contending, their
future policy will be just such as they may
think the moat likely to insure to them a
continuance of power. He la of opinion that
France and England will pursue an Identical
policy with respect to ns, lie that what it
■nay.
