The object of the expedition was the eapture

up the Quiver, a stream emtyingiatp the Sun
flower about 100 miles from_the mouth. She
consequently got a good distance np.' When
the officers of the Dew Drop and Emma Belt
heard that the enemy were , after them, they
attempted to follow her, but eottid not go far
on account of low water. When: tho enemy
had followed them as far ss they could, they
armed two 1 lunches with twenty men esoh
and cent them after them. They reached the
Belt and were taking possession, when Capk
Parisot, of the'Dew Drop, fired his boat.—
They reached the Sharp about ten miles above
and scuttled her. She can be raised after

and brought her out into the Sunflower, and
were coming down, when she ran into tbs
woods through the nnskillfalnoss of the pilot.
She was here burnt.
In going up, the Yankees passed the Argo at
Holland's Landing ; as they came down they
destroyed'her. The H. D. Mesrs was about
15 miles above Quiver, with a sand bar be-

these: The counterfeit is prieted on coarser

Hooker’s. Some believed ^
audria ; tubers supposed he was moving in the
direction of Manassas; while the recent cross
ing al Fredericksburg conGimed every one in
Richmond, that the Yaukee trader was conceal
ed behind tbe 'hills of SiotlorJ, ready to follow
bis advance to his old battle ground. In tbe
meantime General Lee kept bis own counsels,
and tbe result; as announced in bis modest tele
gram of ihe !hb, haa filled our entire communi
ty, officials and all, with no less surprise tbau
admiration. II- this rare facnitv of divining the
movements df an enemy, and keeping bis own
counsels does nut constitute the great secret of
Napoleon’s wonderful success as a military
leamrr, 1 have read history to no purpose..
In my last I adverted to a question that has
arisen between some of Our military officials and
tbe accepted bidders, under the new mail .ci
tings. Several rases have already come up in
whi-.h tbo Colonels commanding have refused to
discharge tbe conscript, who had become a con*
tractor, «n tbe ground that tbe act of Congress
exempoifg contractors from tbe performance of
military duty in tbe armies of the Confederate
Slates, "from and after the passage of this act,
dating tbe time they aiesuchcontractors,” was
intended to be prospective in ita operation and
applies only to such persona, not in tho military
service, as may hereafter become mail carriers.
The practical effect of such a construction would
be a complete nullification of the law itself. For
example A, puts in a bid for a mail routJ, either
At a regular < rur_
This reaches the ears of the conscript officer,
and A is immediately enrolled, and hustled off
to the Camp of Instruction. In the mean time,
the bid reachee tbe Depsrtment, is considered,
accepted, and all the conditions required by tbe
Postal laws to constitute a contractor, except ex
editing tbe bonds have been fulfilled. The lat
ter condition becotuea impossible. Howl By
the act of At . By no means; for he has been
hurried off, perhaps, to a distant State, though
both he and his guarantors have already become
responsible to the Department to tbe extent of
all damage tbat may enauo by reason of his fails
ure. It is by the act of the conscript officer who
enrolls and thn Colonel who detains-a regularly
accepted ‘‘contractor for carrying the mails of
the Confederate States;’’ and ibis in the Itce oi
an act of Cong revs, wbi'O, without aoy words
of limitation as to past, present or future, so far
a* Ihe date of mupllment in the military service
is concerned, expressly declares that contractors
for carrying the mails shall bp exempt from mil*
itary doty, “from and after the pissage of this
act, daring tbe time they are anch contractors.”
With so plain and intelligible a'lxw to guide the
enrolling officers and commandants of camps, A
would have the most ample redress at tbe bands
of any court and jury in tbe Confederacy. The
great mistake of tbo military officials is, that
they cannot comprehend that this law, protect
ing mail contractors, ia merely an additional,
special section to the general exemption law, and
as such operates upon all who come under its
guarded and.Umiled provisions, whether they be
already'ift tbe army or not.
I base this moment seen a discharge granted
by the Colonel ot a North Carolina regiment, to
a sergeant who bid been in the army two years,
but, who under the late lettings, had become a
contractor’ It merely recitee that having exhi
bited evidence of bis being a contractor, he is
hereby discharged from the service, under an
act ot Congreis. Bidders need entertain no
fears.that the Postmaster General will permit
nay infringement upnn tne privtfegs of exempt
ions granted by Congress to those who may be
come contractors for carrying the mails.
After quite a lengthy investigation before the
Mayor. James A. Edie, bite principal clerk ol
Jas. H. Taylor tf Charleston, who absconded

ground tbat tbe offense, under tbe lews of South

Cultuer, C. H., June 6,1661
Once more we stand within the abittercd
waiia of Culpeper, and again our tine of opera
tions points onward to tbe Potomac. Your cor
respondent entered Culpeper C. H. lor tbe first
time qn the 27lh of. April, 1861.' It wa* then a
qaiet, happy, tidy looking city, filled with tbe
luxuries and comforts of file and abounding in
the highest aouled generosity. Every avenue
waa tilled with bright eyed beauty, and content
happiness seemed to have made ;he old
t House

their far-rite seat. How sadly

barbaric invasions, her sauctuaries defiled, de

zens driven bom their hearths depending upon
God alone for food, tbat same just God that fed
Elijah. Tbe town has changed her feat ores,
and sick cloth and asbds fiU the piace of wine
and scarlet.
When I reached Culpeper, I hastened to visa
it a friend to whose kindness I owe much for
attention aad care when fever pressed upon my
brow. . I found the once hippy home in rains;
the ftmily scattered and the proprietor crazed
tn his trouble, sitting idiot-like, mumbling
over some feint recollections of bis former af
fluence. My heart a-bed over old Culpeper,
nnd sad sad sick, I wandered.for a while gath

quaturs granted by the former Govarnmept.—
His course has been consistently guided by
the principles which underlie tho, whole tlruc-
tnre of our Government. The State of Vir
ginia having delegated to the Government of
the United States by the Constitution of 1787
the ppwer of controlling its foreign relations,
became bound by tbe action of that Govern
raent in its grant of an exequatur to Consul
Moore. When Virginia seceded, withdrew
tbe power delegated to tho Government tf
the. United States, and. conferred
them on this Government, the exequatur
granted to Consul Moore was not thereby in
validated. An aot done by an agent while
dnly aothorized oontinues to bind tbo princi
pal after the revocation of the agent’s author
ity. On these grounds tbe President haa hith
erto steadily resisted all inflneuces which have
been exarted to induce him to exact of foreign
consuls that they should ask an exequatur
from this Government as a condition of tbe
continued exeroise of their functions. It was
not deemed compatible with tho. dignity
of tbe. Government 16 extort, by enforc
ing tbe withdrawal of national protec
tion from nentral residents, such inferential
recognition of its independence os might be
supposed to be implied in the request 7ot an
exequatur. Tho consuls of foreign nations,
therefore, established within the Confederacy,
who were in possession of an exequatur is
sued by the Government of the Unitod States
prior to the formation of the: Confederacy,
have been maintained and respected ia tbe
exercise of thoir legitimate funotions, and tbe
same protection and reepect will be accorded
to them ia future, so long as they confine
themselves to the'sphere of their duties, and
seek neither to evade nor defy the legitimate
authoriiy of this Government within its own*
jurisdiction.
There hss grown up sn abuse, however, the
result ot this tolerance on the part of tbe Presi
dent, which is too'serious to be longer allowed.
Great Britain has deemed it lor beuniercst to
refuse acknowledging tbe patent fecrot the rx-
istenre of this Confederacy as an independent

This course ot conduct plainly ignores the exist-

tinuance of the relations between that Minister

count rite, whether neutral or hostile, will
hereafter be restricted to vessels arriving Jrom

restriction because of the ample facilities for

This trade is daily increasing in spile of the
