AtUir A Smith: Our oora and oottou crops aro very good in Troup. The Bon Hill Infantry leaves for Virginia. This makes five Companies gone from our county. There are four others organising, that will soon be ready for servioe. Subscriptions to the Confederate loan were very liberal. Our nobla young townsmen, Broome and Greenwood, have made up a Company in Troup and Chambers, to be called the Ben Hill Guard, whioh will leava in a few days. Yours Rsspectfully, N. LIPSCOMB The Horspltal at Cnlpeper Court House. Ths General Hospital of the Military De partment of the Potomac has been placed at Culpepper Court House. There are already, aa always happsns, many siok soldiers there. As tho force of the Department are receiving constant inorsase, and as the casualties of battle may in due lime be added to the assaults of diseass, we must expsot to sss this number inereasod. Meantime the surgeons in charge, though supplied with medicines, find themselves io in want of many things requisite for a sick man ; and suoh is the pressure of the multi, tudinous cares attending the sudden creation of a large army, these necessities may be ex pected in future. In these painful circum stances, the good ladies of the little village and the vioinity have come to the rescue with their parses, tbslr lsrdsrs, their needles, and their personal services, aud have done for our sick soidtirs a generous and blessed work, for whioh their only earthly reward is the enthus. iastic gratitude of the poor fellows whom they have relieved. Nor do they grow weary in well doing, although this labor grows daily on their hands. But is perfectly obvious that the work ef charity may be expected soon to assume pro portions by which their strength will be ut terly overwhelmed. While Culpeper has furn ished her due share of volunteers for the war, it is not fair to expect this one neighborhood of the county to be burthened with the whole care of the siok of a great army, drawn from a large part of Virginia, South Carolina, Al abama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. It seems to me as much as we can ask of them to bestow time and labor for the relief of those whom Providence fhas thrown upon their Christian charities, while the people of all tho region from which iheee troops come should take upon themselves, as a priviledge, tho providiog of all the materials needed for their benevolent ministry. I therefore take this method, unsolicited by the people of the place, to suggest to the obaritable, and espe- cially to all Christian females aa a most ap propriate way of doioggood, the contribution of sueh things as are needed in a large hospital. Let each wife, sister and mother throughout the South, who extends her aid to those gen erous sisters in Culpeper, remember that per haps her husband, her brother, her son, may bs in the hospital before this campaign closes, to feel the bitter need of such comforts. Let me assure them, of all the sorrowful incidents of war, the military hospital, even under the beat regulations, is tbs most mournful; it is far more drssdsd by tbs soldier than the bat ile-field. With all that, an abounding chari* ty oan do to alleviate its evils, untold discom forts will still bs endured by multitudes, and that by men who at home have been accus tomed to every comfort. In every war, “the pestilence that walketh in darkness ” destroys more than “ destruction that wasteth at noonday.” Hence it follows that to save the precious lives and hsalth of our siok soldiers, is ths best generalship and ths truest patriot ism ; and every one who has a beloved rela live in ths army can surely comprehend some thing of the*heart sinking and dreary bome- siokness with which the strong man lies down wilted by disease, amidst the scores of the sick strangers and the hireling nurse, as he thinks of his peaceful home far away, (which he thinks hs shall most likely see no more,) and of the loving hands that would tend his siok eouoh there. Remember that though your particular gift may not ohser ths one you lovs in ths hour of his suffering and des pondency, it will ohser some other, and will bs a cheap thank offering to the Providence who raised up friends for your friend. Ths artioiss whioh will bs seasonable and useful will suggest themselves to every exper ienced householder. I would speoify, partic ularly, money for procuring necessaries and servants' attendance, rice, Isa, white sugar, corn, starob, crackers, sod other artioles of food not perishable in their nature ; insures sea and baddieks, with pillow slips, stout •bests, worsted socks, shirts and drawers, even if half worn ; cheap calico for screens and comforts ; cotton bstting and raw cotton; cheap spoons, plates and drinking cupa, (best of powder or tio;) blackberry and)port wines, wash basins, foot*baths and towels. These who are disposed to contribute such articles, oan send them by railroad via Gordonsvillr, to ths ladles of the Hospital Association, oare of Messrs. Cooper and Fouohee, Culpeper Court House, Va , And may not tha libera- doners reasonably ask that the Orange and Alexandria, and other railroads, will trans port (base free-will offerings free ef charge ?

Bonham, who commanded our advanced force. The en emy is retreating on Alexandria. Later! Richmond, July 18.—The fight commenced at Falls Run, where Bonham had fallen back, and it extended to Manassas sod become general.- We repulsed the enemy at all points, with heavy oss. The flight lasted several hours—Beaure gard in command. Richmond, July 18.—We are compelled to depend on passengers for news. Apparently reliable men elate that four hundred of Cal. Heck's command surrendered, and four com panles of the Georgia Regiment. The body of Capt. Skipwith, of the Pow baton Rifles, killed in the Rich Mountain fight, was brought to the oily to night. A gentleman from Wise’s Legion, says his companies are cheerful and well. Ho bad had a few engagements, and was always suo easeful Gen.

Washington, July 18.—Nothing reliable or official received from Fairfax up to noon to d»y. A courier from McDowell’s head-buarters reports that the army marched early this morning to Centreville. MoDowell said last night that he believed the Rebels would fight there. It is reported hese that Gen. Johnston is endeavoring to form a juncture with Gen. Beauregard. Apparently reliable advice* front Fairfax say that the Federals advanced this morning with 10,000, and after four hours fighting, the Feder al* were repulsed by 7,000 Confederates under Gen. Bonham, with immense slaughter. The Federalists are retreating upon Alexandria. W. E. Starke, aid to Gen. Garnett, and who was with him when he fell, says that in tho fight he lost about twenty killed, and four Geor gia Companies have two hundred men missing. It is believd they were surrounded and taken prisoners. He says our forces retreated in good order, and will reach Monteray to-morrow night. In the fight with Pegram forty Confederates were killed, and six hundred prisoner* were ta ken. Gen. Pegram was among the prisoners. Scouts report thirty or forty thousand Con federates at Centreville aud Manassas Junc tion. It is rumored that an engagement had ta ken place at Centreville. Fortrks* Monroe, July 18.—Steamers from Norfolk were seen landing nt Sewell’s Point, where, apparently, a formidable force and pre parations are being made to annoy the Federal shipping. Doubtless there are masked batteries at Willoughby’s Point and opposite the Rip Raps. Two blocks from Pigs Point report the Southerners in force opposite New Port News. St. Louis, July 17.—A military train (fed eral) was fired into twelve miles above St. Charles, (on the railroad leading from St. Louis, via Wellsburg and Mexico to Hudson) severely wounding two federal soldiers.

Harrisburg, Pa. July 17.—The reserve of Patterson’* force* at Cumberland, Md., have occupied Piedmont and New Creek Village* on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in the North- West of Hampshire eounty, Virginia. The Southerners attacked New Creek, but were re pulsed. Washington, July 17.—The House bill to in crease the efficiency of the Volunteer force has passed the Senate; and the Navy bill has passed. Gen. McDowell will advance to-night with his forces toward Richmond. Gan. Scott and ataff visited the troops on tha Virginia aids to-day. Tka army haa advanced. McDowell left at 8j, P. M. Tha advance guard is at Hunting Creek, 10 miles from Washington. It is beliavad to ba tho design of the federal Generals to avoid Manaesas Junction. It is positive, however, that thsir intention is ta allow of no d*lay in pushing on to Richmond. Report a from Aritonla and Naw Mexioe represent tha secession feeling strong, and it has become necessary to rainforon Fort Bilan.
