Id- sire, in justice to myself, tbat my State
sboud know the following circumstances :
*> u Fndav morning, May *j4tn, about 2 o'clock,
while a.-leep in my quarters at Alexandria. I was
routed by my gu r ds from the Long Bridge, and
informed that i large body of cavalry and toot
had jut crossed the bridge from Washington, ariC
marched up the road toward* Drotnmofed' 1 * Oate, .
(leaonig to Arlington,) anu that a body of troops
was following them from the bridge. Despatching
my Ordytly Sergeant and two jnr. n, with oide.s
to proceed io the direction of the Long Bridge uti
tii they discovcrtO troop* advancing, or failing
to no so, to remain at tn* forks of the road, half a
mite from the bridge, til ! notified to leave; ani
. alao dispatebieg e Sergeant and one man up the
Leesburg Turnpike, witu others to advajif'e two
; mil -and reconnoitre, I proceeded to Col.
lerrett’s quarters, and waking him, luiormad of
iiim what bad,occurred.
Lie arose and ur-Hsed, gtvwng me orders to pro
ceed at once to Powell * quarters, and, in
conjunction with him throw out scout* sufficient
to keep him (Col. Terretti informed of auv fußr
ther rnoveinents in the direction A Alexandria. I
went l j Capt. Powell, and he vokmieered to keep
up the guard tiR 8 o’clock, at which time it was
agreed I itould relieve biro. He immediately
*t trved with a squad of bis men in the direction of
the bridge, and eoou alter my guard returned anu
. troops near the aouedect, and advancing
toward* Alexandria I had my men roused, and
r horses -cuidled and prepared for ujarcniog. I
went mUi m% room aud w ailed quietly for furthw

b% wno -aid nc bad urder* to u* from Colonel
Terreti to get ready and leave the town by eight
o'clock. Not seeing the sergeant myself, Dor uu
! derstaoduig wnat to do, 1 started on fool to Col
Te r- it's quarter*. On nay way 1 met the iman
| try companies marching out of town. Advancing
turthei I met Col Terreu, and be informed me,
* in answer to mv question* wnat to do, that a flag
! of truce had been sent from the Pawnee, with or
‘ o-ia to him to surrender, which he had declined ■
nut that a large column was advancing from
Wa-biugtou, and tbat he had agreed to evacuate
the town, and that it was agreed to do so by eight
I o'clock. 1 asked him what I should do. Hesaij,
* “ you must remain behind and cover the retreat
1 G r Uio infantry, and give notice of any pursuit
; and I uoderstood him distinctly to say that by
tne agreement made uuuer a llug ot truce, it was
not necessary to leuv.* before eigb. o’clock. Ire
j turned to my quarters ar.d commenced getting
rcair. to march. While getting ready, about Id

I udvauced on foot ) to meet him. lie called on
iue to surrender, or he would tire. I tn! i him we
would leave in a tew minutes, by agreement. He
re hied that he kuew ol no agreement, and thus,
nuleft* 1 surrendered, he should tire. There were
then two guns healing on us, a company of caval
rv, just behind the battery, and a company of
Zouaves, almost exactly in rear of my line, all
Umlaut about T.'> yards, with other troops aud one
..or** gun just behind. Knowing it would be folly
to p-sist, 1 surrendered under protest ot the agree
i..t‘nt made under the white flag, and with the as
jUi am e of Col. Wilcox that “whatever was hon
orable” (1 quote his very words) would be done.
We were immediately deprived of our arms and
hordes and placed under guard. 1 spoke several
times to Col. Wilcox about our release, but no in
formation did I get. Lieut. Grigsby and myself
Wer* allowed to go beyond the guard lines on
paroi*., aud about 2 o’clock we were removed to
Tut umore, brought to the Navy Yard at Wash

Since our captivity we have been very kindly

The money market is without change. Capi
talists a> e growing very shy of ill paper except
strictly /ilt edge. Ou call any amount of money
..n le borrowed at 5 per cent.
Th*’ exchange murkti for the Persia to morrow
w;*s dull to day, turn V rates were firmer. We
quote b4ukers’ bill* a I<>o, without much demi.nd ;
mercantile bills, 104;4 The Loudon Times
err.no* nhdeislaud ho*v the exchange market
re continue to decline n the lace of the
large shipment 1 of gold from Europe tu New
York, and of the stoppage of exports of cotton
und tobacco. The secret is, however, easily dis
covered. The bulk ol our jobbers art* ueeeiviug
no money from the couutry dealers, to whom
they have sold goods, aud are not meeting their
liabilities to the importers iu consequence. Hence
the importers are not able to remit to the Euro
pean manufacturers, und in the absence of the
usual demaud bills decline.
The stock market was extremely dull to-day.
We have seldom noticed a day with fewer trans
actions at the Board. It is notorious that the
public u* buying uo stock, and that, with the ex
ception of a bull clique in Illinois Central uml one
.'i two other stocks, there are no buyers in the
market except the shorts, w ho want stock for de
livery. 80 ‘ong as the money market remains
easy enough to permit holders to cany what they
have at five per cent., and the bears sell enough
to absorb alt that conies ou th* murke 4 , the pres
ent state of things is likely to continue. A disas
ter to our forces, or any other unforeseen acci
dent, would a stampede, estate
stocks were all wanted ibis morning for delivery.
Virginias advanced one per cent., aud Tennessee
were, also a shade better. Certain Southern
houses are believed to be buying these border
slave State stocks. There was little change in the
railway list. Everything else was steady, with
out activity. The market closed heavy, and was
Hull between the Boards. At the second Board
stocks were a shade better, and closed steady,

Tfie remarks made in this column a few days
since ou the subject of a general bankrupt law ap
pear to meet the views of many of our ‘ieadiug
luervhunt- It is plain that by October next a ve
ry luge proportion -some people say five-sixths
—o ur merchants will have goue tu pieces. The
question i>, whether Cougress, which meets ,on
: -is da month, ought uot to devise somo ivl'ef lor

Lusiuesa talent aud energy a 1! be paralyzed, and
will be incapable o! for the re
storation of the trade of thiPcountry Whatever
fchane the war may take, the mercantile luterests
ot t* , x North will, in this case, be crippled and de
l:j*4 I for many years. Valuable citizens ail b*

law. ou tb< other band, will liberate all honest
merchants from tneir liabilities, and wi l set them
on their feet us free men to lubor for the restoru
tiro of our uaiional commerce. Whatever opin
ions may be entertained with regard to the policy
ot a general bankrupt law in ordinary times, it
does uot seem this is a crisis in which uo sound
argument cau be used against it, and in which,

You huv*- undoubtedly had rpecmiens of this

meut, however, is uuapimoua, and pervades all
classes, aud tbat is, when Gen. Lee does strike,
hundreds of tuese who have crossed the Potomac
will never return, aud
“Every sod beneath their feet ?
Will be a soldier’s sepulchre.”
The confidence in Gen. Lee is unbounded, and
thousands are flocking to his standard, in the firm*
bekefthat they will not be sacrificed to ignorance.

If our July interest is uot paid, it will be be

it will be because those to whom they are iudebt

Tbe blockading of our inland seas is a great
folly. There are now in the South provisions

“Tho news from England, aud the comments of

To say there is a general indignation would but
feebly express the public sentiment. Tbe British
Minister’s compuri-ou of us with the Turks, uud
the revolutionists of the South with the Greeks,
but exasperates the common feeling. All sorts of
movements iu reply, or in reprisal, are talked of.

countenance to privateering by our own people

at considerable distance from the road, gave evi

her servants, carried out a quantiety of milk,
bread, pies and other comforts, and for two days

haversacks, number* of which were scattered along

Tne following letters are from our special cor

Yorktown, June 11,1561.
An engagement, lasting tour h >urs, took place
vcisu-rday < MondaO between five regimeuts of
ihe troops from Ola Point and I,l*o Confederate
troops, consisting ol Virginian* aud North Caro
liniaus, uoder Geu. Magruder, at Bethel Church, ,
York county. Before telling you of ihe battle, 1
will give-you some circumstances preceding it.
About two weeks ago, a party of SOU Yankees
came up from Hampton aid occupied bethel
Church which posit:on tbey held a day or two
aud then retired, leaving written on the walls of
the Cuureb several inscriptions, such as “Death
‘0 the Traitorai” “Dowu with the Rebel* 1” Ac
To nearly ail of these tbe names of the write's
were defiantly aigued, and ail of the pensmen
signed themselves from New York except one,
who was from Boston, Mass., “U. 8.” To these
excursions into the interior, of which this was
the boldest, Gen. Magruder determined to put a
stop, and accordingly rilled the place after the
Yankees left with a few companies cf his own
troops. Iu addition to this, he determined to car
ry the war iuto the enemy’s couutry, aud ou
Wednesday last Stauard’s battery of the Howitz
er Battalion was ordered down to the Cburch,
where it was soon joined by a portion of Brown’s
battery, of tbe same corps. The North Carolina
Regiment, under Col. Hill, was also there, making
iu all about l,lou meo, and seven howitzer guns.
On Saturday last the first excursion of cou
siderable importance was made. A detachmeut
of 200 infantry and a howitzer gun under Maj.
Randolph, and one of 70 infantry, aud another
howitzer under Maj. Lane, of the N. C. regimeot,
started different routes to cut off a party which
had left Humuton. The party was seen and fired
at by Maj. Randolph’s detachment, but made
such fast time that they escaped. The tioops
juder Maj Lane, passed within sight ol Hampton,
and as tbey turned up tbe road to return to Bethel,
encountered the Yaukees, numbering about 90,
who were entrenched behind ft feuce iu the field,
protected by a high bank. Our advance guard
tirsd ou them, and iu another moment tbe Nortu
7 ” u•nin us were dashingnver the fence in regular
French (not Jew York) Zouave style, firing at
luem iu real .-quirreil hunting style The Yankees
tied for then* lives after tiring tor about three
miuutes without effect, leaving benindthem three
dead and a prisoner. The fellow was a stout, ugly
fellow from Troy, N. Y. He said that he had
nothing against the South, but somebody must be
‘Oldiers, and he thought he bad as well enlist.
None of our men were hurt.
This bold excursion, uuder the very guns of the
enemy, determined the authorities at Old Point
:.< put a stop to it and clear us out from Bethel.
This determination was conveyed to us by persons
who cane from the neighborhood of the enemy.
On Monday morning, about 600 Infantry and two
g.ius, under Geu. Magruder, left the camp and
proceeded towards Hampton; but after advauciug
1 mile or two, received information that the
Yankees were coming in large force. Me then
retired, and after reaching camp the guns were
placed iu battery, and the infantry took their
places behiud their breastwork. Everybody was
cool, and all were anxious to give the invaders a
good reception.
About 9 o’clock the glittering bayonets of the
enemy appeared on the bill opposite, aud above
them waved the Star Spangkd Banuer. The mo
ment tbe bead of tbe column advanced far enough
ro show one or two companies, the Parrot gun of
the Howitzer battery opened tireon them, throwing
a shell right into their midst. Their ranks broke
into contusion, aud the column, or as much of it
as we could see, letreated behiud two small farm
houses. From their position a ire was opened on
us, which was replted to by our battery, which
commanded the route of their approach. Our
tiring was excellent, aud the shells scattered in
ill directions when they burst. They could bard
-1 v approach the guus wbi'ffi they were tiring for
shells which came from our oattery. Within
mr cucampment fell a perfect hail-storm ot can
>t>*r rffiot, bullets and balls. Remarkable to say,
iot one of cur men was killed in6ide of our en
ampment. hor.sea were slam by the
shells and bullets.
Finding that bombardment would not answer,
the ouetjy, about 11 o’clock, tried to carry the
position by assault, but met a terrible repulse ut
The bands of tbe infautry a* he tried to scale the
breastworks. The men disiegsrded sometimes
the defences erected for them, and, leaping ou the
embankment, *tood and fired at the Yankees, cut
ting them down us tbey came up. One company
of the New York Seventh Regiment, uuder Capt.
Wardrop, or Wintbrop, attempted to take the re
doubt ou the left. The marsh tbey crossed was
strewn with their bodies. Their captain, a fine
looking man, reached the feuce, and, leaping on a
log, waved bis sword, crying, “ Come on, boys;
one charge and tbe day >s ours.” The words
were bis last, fora Carolina rifle ended his life the
next moment, and his meu fled in terror back.
At the redoubt ou tbe right a company of abont
300 New York Zouaves charged one of our guns,
but could uot stand the lire of the infantry, aud
retreated precipitately.
During the*e cnarges the main body of the en
emy, on the hill, were attempting to concent .te
for a general assault, but the shell from the How
itzer b .ttery prevented them. As ou regiment
would give up the effort, another would be marched
to the position, but witu no better success, lor a
shell would scatter them like chuff. The men diet
aot seem able to .>and tire at all.
About one c ci < k their guu* were silenced, and
a few moments after tb*ir infantry retreated pre
cipitately down the road to Hampton.
Cur Cavalry, numbering thre* companies, weut
in pursuit aud harassed them dowu to the edge
of Hampton. As tbey retreated many of tbe
wnjndec fell aloug the roan aud died, and the
whoU‘road to Hampton was with haver
sacks, overcoats, cauteens, muskets, Ac., which
tbe men had thrown off in their retreat.
Alter the battle, I visited the position they held.
Tbe housc-s behind which they had been bid had
beeu burnt, by our troops. Around tbe yard were
the dead bodies of the men who had been killed
by our cannou, mangled in ihe uiost frightful
manner by tha ehelis. The uniforms on the bod
ies were very different, and many of them are
like those of the Virginia soldiery. A little far
ther on we came to the point to which they had
carried some of their wounded, who had since
died. The gay looking uniforms of the New York
Zouaves contrasted greatly with the pale faces
of their dead owners. Going to the swamp through
which they attempted to pass to assault our lines,
presented another bloody scene. Bodies dotted
tbe black morass from one end to the other. I
saw oue boyish, delicate-looking fellow lying ou
the mud, wi*h a bullet bole through his breast,
His band was pressed ou the wound from which
bis life blood had poured, aud tbe other was
clenched in the gra-s that, grew near him. Lying
on the ground was a Testament which bad tallen
from lus pocket, dabbled with blood. Ou opening
tbe cover I found the printed inscription, “Pre
sented to the Defenders ot their Country, by the
New r York Bible {Society.” An U. S. flag was
also stamped ou the title page.
Among tbe haversacks picked up along the
route were many letters from the Northern States,
asking if they liked the Southern farms, and if
the Southern barbarians had bteu whipped out
yet.
The force of the enemy brought against us was
4,(K)0, according to tbe statement of the six pris
oners we took. Ours was 1100. Their loss iu kill
ed aud wounded must be nearly 200. Our loss is
oue killed and three wounded. The fatal case
was that of a North Carolinian who volunteered
to fire oue of the houses behind which they were
stationed He started from the breastwork to ac
complish it, but was shot iu the head. He died
this morning at the hospital. The wounded are
Harry Shook, of Richmond, of Brown’s Battery,
snot in the wrist,; John Worth of Richmond, of
the same battery, shot in the leg, aud Lieut. Hud
nall, of the same battery shot m the foot. None
of the wounds are serious.
The Louisiana Regiment arrived a‘ out one hour
after the fight was over. Tbey are a tine looking
set of fellows.
As there was force enough at Old Point to send
up to Bethel aud surround us, we took up the line
or march and came up to Yorktown where we now
are.
Headqcabters Virginia Like Gtard, i “
Yurktow.n, June 11, f
When I wrote last we were in the country at a
place called Bethel Church, and it was Sunday.
We spent tne day pleasantly until at night, when
there was an alarm given, caused by cannon tiring
down towards Hampton. We afterwards learned
that one of the county companies had encoun
tered Federal troops, aud had a fight—At 2 o’clock
we were startled oy the bugle sounding the “ as
sembly call.” In two minutes every soldier in
the eu'eampineot was in arms and ready for duty,
having previously been instructed to sleep with
accoutrements on aDd arms by the side.
Iu half an hour the North Carolina Regiment,
under command of Col. Hill, a brave, cool com
mander, and competent leader, were ordered with
three guns of Major Randolph’s battery, to march
tow ards Hampton, while the Virginia Life Guard,
Henrico southern Guard, and \ouug Guard, un
der Leut. Col. Stewart, were ordered to move
lower down the encampment and take the posi
tion vacated nv the North Carolina Regiment,
which was promptly di-ne. It wa: a nob e sight,
as we stood near the outer limits of our encamp
ment, iu the grey of morning, to see the Howit
zers and the North Carolina Regiment, those
worthy sons cf noble States, under the command
of our gallant Col. Magruder, defile past us and
advance to meet the mercenary legions of a be
s-tted Government. They wire soon lost to sight
in the woods, and all was still, except the occa
ti >nal challenge of a sentinel or an outpost; all
tne men were expecting some great event.
Col. Magruder and biscommana had only gone
three miles down tbe road when they learned that
the enemy they were in pursuit of liad retired to
-einforce, and intended making an auack on us
in a short time, aa soon as they returned. The
entire camp was arranged for the assault.
In a few minutes our scouts and videttes com
menced £r:ug acd coming in, announcing the sd
vance. Tne caunouiers and iofauiry in tbe line
of fortifioatioks were noticed and stood readi
ammunition ia bind. Our men (Cub Stewar'sj
were ordered in tse trenches, when thev were
compelled to kneel, in order to escape observa
tion, it being onr obj ot to conceal our position
until the enemy aovaoeed to the middle . f the
fiela, and toot: open fire. The approach to the
fortifications cau only b* tuaue tnrougn a field
6.53 yards wide, and by the bridge, spanning the
creek running along the line southeast ol out po
sition.
Oct Colonel flood with glass in bind and soon
discovered the gii.tecing of bayonets coming from
i cover of the woods and up the"road. As soon as
toey had arrived about one thousand >ard from
us, they planted two cauDon in the road, one in
the wuoiis aud several in the field, to our le*t, all
of them being guns of heavy calibre. As soon as
they were seen iu position, Msj. llandolph gsve
the’ command, and our splendid Parrot gan
belched forth a shot w hich took effect ou the
column in the road and did considerable damage;
this was replied to by the enemy front iheir gun
in the poad, and rnpiiea to by Captain Brown’s
Baiterv in tbe tieid’ The action then became gen
eral. and the deatemng roar of the gum was ah
that could he heard tot au hour—our dot tkmg
good effect, tuat of the other side not hiving hj,
a single mau or gun, all being aimed too high,
doing great aamage among tbe bougls of the
trees. Coi Stuart's command were placed fifty
yards on tbe right of Capt Brown’s Battery, to
6erve as a protection to them, and we soon ‘saw
the approach of a company of Zouaves of a New
York Regiment, advancing under covet of some
houses, sad a large orchard to the right of the
field. The Virginia Life Guard were ordered to
rise and shoot tnem, as oar position had sot been
discovered; the men of the first platoon rose, and
taking deliberate atm, fired; the shots had good !
effect,! of the Zouaves falliog, two killed and
remainder wounded, as we ascertained ifterwards
by finding the bodies of the dead. We im
mediately drew upon us tbe fire of the Zouaves i
and one piece of cannon; but oar men were on
daunted, aud between every fire of the daatardly
crew they rose by file and fired. Nearly every
t-me a man was felled. Our guns being the En
field rifled gun, were very efiective. The entire
foroe of both sides then came into action, aud tn
me . unaccustomed to such tights tbs soene was
sublime.
After the first fire aU tht hesitancy and trspi- .
dation incident to the first battle was over, aud
every man fi-lt eager to give them a salute. There
was a cessation of firing for five minutes, when
our guns commenced again, and constant and
rapid firing was kept up for one hour more, our
gnus working beautifully and doing great dam
age. The shot of the enemy wounded three of
uar Howitzer and one of the N. C. Regiment
men.
During the howitzer gun in
the field was accidentally disabled by the break
ing of the vent wire in the touch-hole, and had
ta be hauled in tbe woods and abandoned ; and
Col. Stewart's commaud was ordered to close iu
upon the fortifications, and defend the interior
ot our camp as we moved off. A regiment cf in
fantry was seen to tile up the road to the south
of our position, in order to get in our rear, and
several cannon were ordered to the road through
which they must pass. The cannon were sup
ported bv the commands of Col. Stewart and
Capt. Montague ; but they did not make their ap
pearauce, and we remained interested spectators
of the third attack, holding our position in the
treuches, and prepared to defend the ravine and
the road to the south and west of our fortifica
tions.
The attack was made a few minutes after 12
o’clock, aud was the most severe of all the day’s
work. Our guns commenced again, aud after ex
changing shot* for fifteen or twenty minute*, the
enemy formed in column, oue thousand strong,
and under command of a brave looking General,
well mounted, advauced over the road, over the
bridge, and up to the embankment, on tbe south
east. Every man looked on with breathless inter
est, as the charge was & brilliant one. As soon as
they were in good range, our battery opened, and
the’first fire struck tbe head of tbe advancing col
umn, and crashed through from rank to rank.—
They attempted to mount tbe embankment., but
our infantry rose, and tbey were repulsed with
great loss, and so discomtitted that they retired
with a double quick movement down the road.
The COl. commanding in this charge was seen to
reel in his saddle. Tha battery again exchanged
shots.jgind tbe actiou closed with six meu wound-
ed on our side.
it was dow one o’clock, and tbe enemy showing
ao disposition to comtnce again, the dragoons
were ordered out, and found the enemy retreating
with all speed toward Hampton. As they pur
sued them they scattered like sheep, and the
wounded and dying tell on every side ot the road.
It was a pitiable sight, and as our men came back
they were picked |up‘and carried on litters to our
camp and cared for.
Tne battle was uow over, having commenced at
9% o’clock A. M., and continued until 1 P. M.
Oue of the wounded of the enemy said he would
tell the truth before he died, and say 4,000 were
engaged ou the part of the Federal troops, and
<3ou held iu reserve, aud the dead aud wounded
were two huudred ; while on our part there were
only twelve hundred men, aud at uo time were
there more than eight hundred engaged.
During the entire engagement Col. Magruder
; was in every part of the held, and displayed con
! Bumate generalship and courage, directing every
movemaut in person, and exposing himself with
a recklessness of danger which was seen and ad
mired by all in camp.
Late in the eveuiugthe encamnment was broken
up aud we returned to Yorktown.
The Richmond Dispatch of Wednesday has the
following report aud correspondence concerning
the skirmish on Saturday neur Hampton aud the
engagement on Monday at Bethel Church :
It appears that the rumors which prevailed yes
terday iu regard to a battle near Newport News,
on Monday, were well founded. W. F. McKesson,
Esq,, of Morgantown, N. C., arrived here yester
day by the York River cars, having left Yorktown
in a small akiff on Monday morning, by which
means he reached West Point in time for the
train. He brings with him a musket taken from
the prisoner mentioned below, which is to be sent
tw I)r. J. F. E. Hardy, of Asheville, N. C., as a
trophy, captured by tbe company from that place.
Also, a large kuite, takeu from the same pris
oner.
Mr. McKesson furnishes us with the following
particulars:
SKIRMISn ON SATURDAY.
v The Confederate forces, under Col. Magruder,
were stationed at Bethel Church, on the line be
tween Elizabeth City and York counties. Tbey
consisted of not more than 1,800 or 2,000 men.
This place is six miles from Newport News, six
teen from Yorktown, and eight from Hampton.
Ou Saturday afternoou, Captaiu McDowell’s
company from Asheville, North Carolina, one
huudred strong, were out on a reconnoiteriug ex
pedition, with Lieut. Gregory and teu men some
distance in advance. Coming within a mile and
three quarters of Hampton, they encountered 200
of the enemy on a similar excursion, who had an
advance guard iu front. Lieut. G. and his guard
of ten men approached within twenty-five steps
of the enemy, when ft parley took place between
them, each party endeavoring to quiz the other.
Finally, a large man of the enemy, who stood
near Lieut Gregory, cried out, “ I know you are
friends! I belong to the 2d New York Regi
ment!” whereupoa Lieut. G. placed hi* pistol
near the New Yorker’s head aud exclaimed,
• 4 Drop your mu>ki, or I’ll blovvyour brains out'l
You are my prisoner!” at the same time calling
upen hi* meu to tire.
The order was obeyed by Lieutenant Gregory’s
guard; and twenty-five of Captian McDowell’s
command, some eighty steps in the rear, also
fired. The Yaukees returned the fire, but none
of our men were injured. From twelve to fifteen
of the Yankees were killed and wounded by this
discharge, and Lieut. Gregory secured a prisoner.
Capt. McDowell, observing the retreat of the
Northern party, thought it prudent to withdraw
his oommaud, as a luige body ot Federal troops
were withiu half a mile, and our little handful
would have fallen an easy prey.
The Northern soldiers fired very badly. Lieut.
Gregory was on horseback, and the balls whizzed
far above his head.
In their retreat, the Yankees carried their dead
and wounded iu two carts aud a buggy to Hamp
ton.
The prisoner was sent toYorkrowniu charge
of a gallaut youth named William Lorauce, aud
another private wuose name we have uot heard.
The following version of the affair is given by
a c rrespondeut, uuder date of Yorktowu, Sunday,
June ‘Jth :
P. tL—I open my letter to announce a skirmish
which took place ver ter day ( Saturday) between a
detachment of Howitzers belonging to S’auaul’s
company, supported by a detachment from com
pany E, of the North Carolina regitneut, and a
party of 75. Yankees. About 11 o’clock yesterday,
Major Randolph was informed at his camp, two
miles below the Halfway House, that a party of
Yaukees were plundering the house of a gentle
man named Whiting, about three miles below.—
He immediately started in pursuit, with oue how
itzer and a detachmeut of North Carolina infant
ry. They soou came upon the rascals, who aban
doned their pluuder auffifled. A shell was fired
at them, which did not explode. Major R. start
ed iu pursuit, but had not proceeded fair before he
met a scoot who informed Dim that a party of 75
were about three miles below, plundering at
large.
Upon receiving this information, he sent back
for another howitzer, and a further reinforcement
of inrantry. When it arrived, he divided his force
into two parties, he (Major R) commanding one
and the Lieutenant of mfautry the other, each
party taking along a gun. They then took two
different routes. Major R. missed the rascals,
but tae other party came up with them.
They stood to their arms and both parties fired.
But Yankee pluck could go uo further, and the
whole body took to their heels, with the exception
of one—an Irishman—who was taken prisoner
while in the act of ramming down a cartridge, the
North Carolina lieutenant in command actually
riding up to him, and placing bis pistol at Ins
head, before he surrendered. The curses of this
man upon his Yankee comrades, for their cowar
dice, were loud and deep. The skirmish happen
ed just at the bridge over Black River. It had
been broken down, and tbe fugitives had to cross
upon plauks. In the act of crossing they were
subjected to a full volley, which must have doue
considerable damage, as a preacher who came in
to Major R.’s camp, from Hampton, reports that
they brought in a wagon load of wounded and
dead. I could not learn the name of the North
Carolina officer who commanded the detachment.
Lieut. John M. West commanded the Howitzers
present on the occasion. He acted with great
coolness and intrepidity, and received a ball throgh
bis hat.
THE BATTLE AT BETHEL CHCBCH.
Oo Monday morning, about3 o'clock, the Con
federate force at Bethel Church was aroused by a
report that the enemy were approaching. In five
minuteß, says our iuformaut, tbe men were under
arms and prepared to march—determined to meet
the invader aud drive him baok at every risk.
The men were in excellent spirits, and apparent
ly well pleased at the prospect of an encounter.
They started in good order, with everything ready
for immedia'e aetiou.
After a march of three and a half mile3 in the
direction of Newport News, and finding no enemy,
they abandoned the search aud returned.
About six o’clock, while our troops were at
breakfast, another dispatch arrived, staling that
the enemy—supposed about 4500 strong—were
advancing, and were then within three miles, with
several pieces of artillery. Our troops had but
six cannon.
They at once made preparations for a deadly
conflict.
At this point our informant left for Yorktown,
and on arriving there, met Col. Deßusay’s Louis
iana Regiment, 1,000 strong, iu rapid march to
wards tbe scene of action.
Mr. McK., while on York river, three hours af
terward, heard heavy cannonading, and saw vol
umes of smoke.
LATKC.
By the James ri -, er steamer which arrived yes
terday evening, we received the following com
munications We give them with an expression
of hop- that they are not exaggerated, aud leave
! the reador to form bis own judgment:
WiIuaMSBDRO, June 10.—I have only time be
- fore the mail closes to tell you of the fight about
I ten miles below.
Three thou-and of the Abolitionists marched
against two thousand of our men, and we have
j completely cut them to pieces. We have lost one
I man, killed, and have two wounded—all three
I from North Carolina. We have slaiu the scound
rels by hundreds. The ground is completely
j strewn with the Yankee dead.
Jamestown Island, June 10, 9 o’clock, P. M.—
We have just received, at this post, intelligence
to this effect; that Colonel McGruder’s command,
2,200 strong, stationed at Bethel, on the line be
tween York and Elizabeth City counties, was st
i tacked to-day by from 8,000 to 4,000 Federal
troops, who were repulsed with a loss of 300 men
■ in kil|ed and wounded, while we only lost five on
our side.
Our loss was from the Nottoway Cavalry alone,
whose horses, it seemed, mired in attempting to
’ page from the attack of an overwhelming force to
the rear of McGruder’s redoubt.
The object of the Federal forces seems to have
I be-nto fall upon the force at Y'orktown, and in
’heir route were compelled to pass McGruder’s
i lines. The batLe iastsd several hours, and the
discharges of can Don were heard at tbia place very
distinctly. Our brave boys were foliowtng np
their victory when dispatches wets sent out.
We have “pretty much the same report from two
sources—one direct trom the scene of action by a
■ perfectly reliable party—and both taiiy o nearly
that the'ir tiuth, with some slight modifications,
mav be received with perlect confidence. Y’ou
mav expect to hear of more fighting in a day or
two", as the battle fought to-day was not more
than 12 miles from their stronghold at Fortress
Monroe. .
Grove Landing, James River, 1
Monday night, June 10, 1861. f
EarlV this morning we were made to wonder at
the meaning of tbe big-mouthed cannon ao con
tinually barking in tbe direction of Hampton, but
were soon acquainted with the lact that the ene- I
nay, who have been so feasting on the dainties of !
our soil, had been inspired with courage enough
(bv taking with them a superior force) to make an
attack on” our troops stationed at Bethel Church, |
10 miles from Hampton They were repulsed j
twice at 10 o'clock A. M.; but betting on their j
numbers, as tbev aiways have done, ibey again ,
rallied, when they wtre driven off with a lose of I
three hundred men. Our loss is small when com- j
pared with theirs, being only six; but I am sorry
even to have to record this ioes, and that, too,
from the ranks of tbe brave ions of Nottoway.
I believe the above statein-ui to be true, as it
came direct from Bethel through tbe dispatch
bearer from that post.
P. S.—Dr. Yangban, First Lieutenant of one of
the companies, just from tbe field of battle, re
ports a heavy loss on the side of the enemy—num-
Oer not exactly known. We had one of our pick
et guards taken, and one man killed; several
wounded. The enemy took one of our batteries,
but were soon routed by a charge from the North
Carolina Regiment, We had about 1,200 men to
tbe odds of 4,000. Reinforcements have been sent
from Y'orktown—a battle expected to-day. They
have 18,040 in and around Old Point. Cannot
Ricbmond spare os a few more mens
From tbe Charleston Courier of Thursday we
take the following additional particulars :
Richmond, June 12 Military affairs are taking
an active turn. Dispatcbee aitd Individual* from
the battle of Bethel state our loss to be but odc
killed namelv a soldier named Wyatt, from Rich
mood’ and live wr.unded. That of tbe enemy is
put down at 20 killed, but tbe supposition is that
many of their dead and wounded were removed
from the 6eld. Blood covered their ground in all
directions. _ . . .... I
Cue of their officers, Capt. Wardrop, was killed |
whi'e he was advancing upon otir entrenchments.
He had mounted the fence when Col. Hill, of the j
North Carolina regiment, said : “Boys, there’s |
your mark ; take him down.” In an mstant he
fell dead. Another, supposed frem his dress to I
be a held officer, was shot from his horse, but j
earned off the held. After these losses there was |
great confusion among the enemy, aud they re
treated towards Hampton, leaving on the ground ;
a considerable number of havresacks, guus and i
revolvers.
The watch and sword of Capt, ardrop is now ,
in Richmond. Our men behaved bravely. h oung !
Wyatt, who was buried this afternoon with mili
tary honors, was shot in the cemre of the fore-
head while advancing with four others to attack ;
fifty. _ _ _• i
■the North Carolina Regiment and the Rich
mond howitzer battalion, about thirteen hundred
men, were the only ones engaged ou our side.—
Tbe Louisiana Regiment arrived two hours after
j the battle. They were very mad because they
\ arrived too late.
i Major Magruder's forces fell back on York
; town, expectiug an attack from a much larger
force.
j ive prisoners have been brought here, cap
tured at Fairfax. One is Doctor Richards, of

Norfolk, June 11.—The Lincolnites, 4500 strong
yesterday marched up tue peninsula aud eucouu
tered near Bethel Church, eleven miles beyond
Hampton, a portion of the Confederate forces
comprising North Carolina aud Virginia troops,
under coraniaud of Major Magruder. The Con
federate forces were about 1500 strong.
The conflict was fierce and spirited, though of
but short duration. The Lincomites were routed
aud fled in disorder towards Hampton.
Mr. Anderson, of Hampton, who was an eye

The Charleston Mercury has the following :
Richmond, June 12.—The news which I tele
graphed you yesterday, about the defeat of the
Yankees'at Bethel Church, is confirmed in all
substantial particulars. It seems that the enemy,
forty-five huudred strong, while marching, be
fore day ou Monday morning, up the peninsula,
were encountered at Bethel Church, eleven miles
beyond Hampton, by Magruder, with about fifteen
hundred men. After a spirited combat of but
short duration, the enemy were defeated aud pur
sued some miles towards Hampton by our victo
rious troops. Their loss is estimated by Mr. An
derson, of Hampton, an eye witness, at about 300
killed. Our loss is reported to be 1< killed.
Among the killed on the enemy's side was Col.
Duryea, the foiwer Colonel of tbe New York 7th
Regiment. He was lu command of the New York
Zouaves, (1,200 in number,) who participated in
tbe engagement. When his column reeled and
broke under our fire, Duryea endeavored o rally
them. As he advaueed towards our trenches he
was shot through the heart. The Zouaves iimne
dlately turned and fled in every direction, our
troops pursuing them for a short distance.
Three of the Zouaves were made prisoners.
They say that (Jen. Butier commanded in person,
and that his force was between 4,500 aud 5,000
meu. They acknowledge a loss in killed of 150,
say that only a small portion of their force was
brought iuto action. Col. Wardrop U. S. A., was
killed. I have seen his sword (with his name on
it) which has been brought here.
Only 600 of our troops were engaged, the rest
being held back as a reserve. Only oue (H. 8.
Wyatt, of tbe North Carolina Regiment) was
killed. He was formerly a resident of Ricnrnoud.
Charles Williams and C. Rogers, of Company A.
North Carolina Regiment, were severly wounded.
[Special Di&patck to the Charleston. Courier.}
Richmond, June 11.-Private letters just received
from Williamsburg, ten miles from Bethel Church,
near Newport News,.state that a force of 30U0 Abo
litiouisis, ou Monday, marched against 2,000 of
our troops under Col. Magruder, aud were repul
sed with the loss of about 300 killed. We have
only lost five men.
The battle lasted several hours, aud as it wm
only twelve miles from Fortress Monroe, we may
expeat more fighting soon.
The object of the Federalists appears to have
been to fall upon our forces at Yorktown, cutting
their way through Magruder's lines.
Col. De liussy’s Louisiana R girnent was on the
move towards the scene of aotiou, and it is sup
posed participated.
We had but six cannon.

Spirited Resolves.— Tbe Baltimore Artillery
Company held a meeting at Norfolk on the 4th
inst., and adopted the followiug resolutions:
Resolved, That we hope the day may soon come
when Maryland will be liberated from the North
ern fanatics that desecrate her Southern soil, and
when the cowardly traitors, Uicks and Winter
Davis, may be captured and properly punished.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the
Southern-Rights men of the 4th Congressional
district of Maryland, who are compelled to remain
at home for the pu pose of defending their fire
sides against Northern hirelings; and we pledge
ourselves not only to defend, but to die, il requir
ed, in the effort to redeem, our noble old Stats.
Resolved, That we hear'ily tender our sincere
thanks to the Southern-Rights Convention of the
4th Congressional district for nominating Mr. flvic-
Lane for the next Congress of the United States,
and sincerely regret we cannot recognize Mary
land as one of the Confederate States—hoping,
however, ahe may aeon be a star in the glorious
constellation.
Resolved, That we will not return to the loved
homes from which we am exiled, until we exert
our utmost efforts to redeem our State.
A Prediction. —The Federal Union has the fol
lowing, which may possibly be regarded in the
light of a notice, as that journal is in the confi
dence of our local commander-in-Chief:
We predict that no regiment hereafter raised
will be accepted, unless it is tendered through the
Governor, and that no company hereafter leaving
the State with her arms, in violation of the orders
of Gov. Brown, will be received, or receive auy
favor at Richmond.
A Gooc Example. —On Saturday last a few
gentlemeD, in Oxford, stbscribed an agreement
to take tbe bonds of the Confederate States for
the proceeds of the sales of their cotton, as fol
lows :

Eet our plmters throughout the country “ go
and do likewise." —Oxford l Mm.) Intelligencer.
A Patriotic Lact.— We are informed that Mrs.
Dr. J. 0. C. Blackburn, of Pike county, has sent
by express to Gov. Brown her fine gold watch,
with a request that be sell it and apply the pro
ceeds to the support of our gallant troops in the
field. We learn that Mrs. Blackburn expresses
her determination to wear no more jewelry while
tha war lasts. While such a spirit exists among
tbe women of Georgia the meD will never be con
quered in the field.— Milledgevile* Cniou.
Ts Cotton Planters’ Convention met in Ma
con yesterday, with a highly respectable repre
sentation in attendance. Y r t understand they
adjo rned their next regular meeting to Novein
her, and voted to postpone another deputation to
Europe nntil tbe restoration of peace. They have
onliea a general Convention of tbe cotton planters
of Georgia, at Macon, on the 4th July next, to take
action upou investing cottoo in the Confederate
bonds, and of sustaining tbe Government, an*
have voted to invest all tbe funds of tbe Associa
tion iu the same securities. Hon. Howell Cobb,
the President, was de’aioed at home by sickness
in his family. —Macon Telegraph.
A Banner Qceeely Saved.—A splendid banner
is buDg up in the Express office at Manassas, the
property of the Alexandria Riflemen, wiio are en
camped there. This flag was the object of the
strictest search by E!lsworth\fire hounds; but it
was saved from desecration by a patriotic lady,
who took it from the staff and smuggled it down
the street by the aid of criooline, in the face of
the enemy, and finally contrived to bring it safely
concealed to the Confederate catop.
Returning Reason.- By a letter received in
this city yesterday, we learn that a great reaction
has taken place among the moneyed men of New
York and Boston, ana that petitions are now cir
culating to he laid before Congress asking tbe
peaceful recognition of the Southern Confederacy
and the establishment of amicable relations by
friendly treaties. The petitions set forth that un
less the war is brought to a close very speedily,
ew V ork and Bost ic are ruined cities.—(Jkarlei

Thi Irish Leaving Lincoln.— We learn by a
private letter received by one of our business
meb from Richmond, tbit two hundred and rixty
Irish members of the fifrth New York Regiment
hare deserted the 44 Old Wreck 14 and joined tbe
Confederate forces in Virginia. The 52th is an
old established regiment, and has enjoyed a con
siderable reputation for drilling. We would not
be surprised if we did oot hare the entire regi
ment era long. —Savannah Novot.
We are gratified to announce, says the Milledge-
Tille Recorder, that our fellow-citizen. Col. Miller
Gneve, returned to this city on Wednesday last,
after a painful confinement iu davannab, from in
juries received by the bursting of a gun at Fort
Jackson. His strength is gradually increasing,
and his fneuds bare the satisfaction to believe
that his health will be entirely restored, though
the left tide of bis faoe will be severely tdarked
by tbe disaster.
Torus in Texas. —The Austin (Texas, stste

Washington, June 9.—When our troops move
on Mannassas Junction they will be &5,000 strong.
Gen. Patterson will have an equal number when
he crosses the Potomac.
Apprehensions are still felt that the rebel* may
move down the railroad and Potomac and aided
by another revo t in Baltimore aud the disunion
ibts of Maryland, will attack Washington ou the
Maryland side, while Davis advances from Ma
nassas.
There are still a number of spies in Washing
ton, many of them women.
It is said there are some 6,000 fugitives at For
tress Mouroe. There arc now 12,000 U. 8. troops
there.
A rebel camp, 4,000 strong, has been establish
ed a few miles on the otber side of Acquia Creek.
[Special Dispatch tc the Stic York Tribune.]
Maryland is detached from the Department of
the West, and attached to that commanded by
General McClellan.
Without doubt our troops will occupy Frederick
Barracks, for 3,000 troops have been ordered
there.
The rebels in the vicinitv of Acquia Creek are
supplied with provisions by a Maryland traitor,
named Johnston, the same who burned the light
ship at Chambersburg.
Cars are now ready to carry 75,000 men and a
lot of timber, to repair bridges.
Shipbuilders offer to construct gun boats to
operate on the Mississippi within forty days, to
be constructed at Ciucmuati and St. Louis, aud
probably at Louisville, if the latter continues

Washington, June 9.—A semi-official letter from
Euglaud gives assurance that the British Govern
ment is gradually changing from its origiual par
tiality for the rebel States. The Government is
vet anything but friendly to the Uniou, but is de
cidedly not so open in its hostility as it was before
the arrival of Mr. Adams, whose letters leave no
room to doubt that the Ministry had ouce deter
mined upon recogouiziug the Southern Confeder
acy, and they were endeavoring to precipitate
such action before the arrival of our new Mini*
ter.
In the interview which Mr. Adams hud with
Lord John Russell, the former very distiuctly ex
pressed the belief that the British Government
had such a purpose, and charged the British Min
istry with a want of common diplomatic courtesy
in attempting to decide ou so vital a question be
fore affording an opportunity to the Administra
tion of explaining the position iu which the Gov
ernment of the country was placed, the objeot of
the rebels, and the power of the Government to
suppress the rebellion.
Mr. Adams took occasiou to represent to the
British Minister the injustice of recognizing the
rebels, and to warm him that this Government
would not permit the iuterference of any foreigu
government to prevent the subjugation of tbe re
bel States of the Union.
It is more than probable that the Spanish Gov
ernment will dicliue to receive Carl Schurz as
minister to Spuiu. At icust tuo representatives
of hpain here at Washington do not hesitate to
express such a belief.
Two regiments of Rufus King's Wisconsin Brig
ade have been ordered to report at Washington
forthwith. The remaining four regiments ot the
Brigade are ordered to hold themselves in readi
ness to come to Washington in forty-eight hours’
notice.
The suggestion of the Chicago Tribune that
Gov. Yates should be appointed successor to Doug,
las, docs not meet with much favor in Washing

Orton will be appointed.
Washington, June 10.—Tbe Rhode Island regi

A large number of mechanios is employed at

A large number of horses arrived here recently

[Special to the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.]
Washington, June 10.—A gentleman, arrived
from Manassas Junction heard the rebel* say that
they had 12,000 troops there. Ho saw Beaure
gard and among the persons there he found sever
al residents of Washington.
Troops will be dispatched to Frederick, Md., on
Thursday to protect the Union men, it being un

matter.
Geu. Banks takes command at Baltimore to

A larije number of cars have been sent from
Grafton to Cumberland to bring Federal troops to
the latter place. It is raid 12*0t>0 troops have

probable.
It is said Mr. Curtis, of lowa, will bo appointed
Brigadier-General, and be given the command of
the lowa troops.
A number of regiments have orders for Cham
bersburg. It is believed there will now be a
speedy advance on Harper’s Ferry.
Tbe New Y'ork Herald is deliberately going iu
to the “spnzzuus” at the imminent prospect of war
with England and France, as witness the following
in its issue of June 7. Half a dozen articles iu the
same number have something similar :
An Englisu Fleet Approaching Ocr Shores—
What is tore Done? —According to the latest
advices from England, a powerful fleet from thut
country is already on the way to our coast, some
of the ships armed with the terrible Armstrong
cannon. A French fleet may soon follow‘in its
wake. In what state of naval preparation do we
find ourselves should these two great nations,
with their mighty armaments—foes very different
from the Southern Confederacy—hurl their thun
derbolts at our commercial marine, and even our
ships-of war? We regret to say that it is very
discreditable ‘o the nation, and by no menus ade
quate to cope with such Power s oo the ocean.—
The moment Congress meets thirty uew ships-of
war should be ordered to be built, and a number
of iron cased gunboats armed with rifled cannon.
Meanwhile such merchant steamboats as could bo
converted into vessels-of-wliruught to be purchas
ed by the government, immediately and fitted up
and equipped to meet present emergencies. At
the same time ad our merchants, in sending their
ships to sea, ought to arm them for protection
against privateers and those vessels at a distance
should be twceallcd and placed under the guns ot
our forts till the Southern rebellion is crushed by
our arms, and war is at an end.
The Georgia Troops i.v Virginia. —A corres
pondent of the Savannah Republican, writing from
Richmond, June Bth, says :
The Ist Regiment Georgia Volunteers, Col. Ram
sey, one of the best in the whole urmv, hardened
and sunburnt by service, have just reached here
from Pensacola, and will proceed to-morrow or
next day to Phillippa, near the line of Pennsylva
nia. Col. Bartow a regiment has gone to Harp
er’s Ferry; Col. Colquitt’s (the fithjto Vorktown,
and Col. Gartrell’s to Harper’s Ferry. The com
panies cam posing the 2d Regiment, (Col. Bartow’s
being the Ist,) tendered directly to the President,
are all here, and will soon be ordered upon active
duty. They have tendered their services under a
la’s act of Congress, under which the Secretary at
War claims the right to appoint the field officers.
No appointments have yet been made.
Hall County, we are pleased to learn, is brave
ly meeting the call for tre-ps, money, £c. There
is a fine company at GaiocSvile, aud another form
ing in the upper part of the county. At a public

Secessionists in Illinois.—The Evansville (Ind.)
Journal publishes a letter dated Marion, Illinois,
May 29, which eavs :
This is awful place, and full of Secessionists.—
Yesterday they closed up the printing office and
made_ the editor leave simply because be was for
the Union. We are looking every day for a regi
ment of men from Cairo to put this tbiDg down.
The streets are at this time full of men, generally
drunk, and’’hollowing,” for Jeff. Davis and the
Southern Confederacy. A few days ago a com
pany orgauized here aDd went South to fight foY
tbe rebels. A company of Secessionists is lot. in
the Square cutting down the Douglas pels This
beats anything I ever expected to see in a North

Intelligence racM Wasbiaoton.— T'a* Wash
ington correspondent of tus Philadelphia Ledger
says ■
It is asserted that the main reason of uo further
forward movement into Virginia at present, is in
cons quence of intelligence that has readied tbe
Yar Department representing the enemy as too
strong to cope with, aud, as the Government is
not disposed to rush rashly into battle, it will
take a .:ttie more time for the complete perfecting
of such pians and arrangements as may be thought
necessary.
The landing of a force at Aquia Creek, for the
rapture of the formidable battery there, is said to
have been abandoned, as General Stott does not
think the object desired would be worth the risk
run to obtain it.
It is a fact that a clamor exists among politicians,
to the effect that movements are too slow; if they,
forsooth, had tbe management of thiDgs, they
would go ahead, cut anJ slash and destroy things
geoeratly. I hear this from the best sources it
works upon tha upper men in the Administration
councils, who, in turn, express th >t concern ‘to
say the least) on tbe subject, that sctioys Gen.
Scott, and other capable end responsible officers.
It is currently reported that that officer says that
he don’t want to take premature steps that would
be destructive of life ’o the extent of ten thousand
to each member of the Cabinet.
There ie no confirmation of the reported evacua
tion of Harper's Ferry; nor te it, as i stated yes
terday, believed. On the contrary, the latest
advices thence represent that there are at least
20,000 Southern troops there, and that their posi
tion is of such strength that three times the num
ber opposed could not dislodge them.
Two new volunteer companies have been formed
in Jefferson couDty. Ooe near ’’ Sylvan Grove
and the other near ’’Pope Hill.” The name of
tbe former is ’* Jefferson Grays,” with the fol
lowing commissioned officers : J. G. Cain, captain;
I. F. Adkins, Ist lieutenant; James Stapleton, 2d ,

Thk Duration or th* War.—Tbs Washington j
correspondent of the New York Journal of Com- \
fnerce says:
The three months* men are soon to be frithdruwn j
from service, ,aud their places takeu’ by three l
years* men. All arrangements indie. on both i
sides prep u anon* fix a protracted war. The on- |
eratiwns iu Western Virginia, aud on the Ohio aud
the Mississippi, will, at an early stage ot the war, I
be conducted ou a large scale, under Gen. McClel- j
lan, now second to Gen. Bcott in command of the
United States Army. A descent upon Memphis, |
with an overwhelming force, by a flotilla and an
army, is oue of the greatest operations embraced !
in the programme of the war. As this will re
! quire much preparation, it may not be attempted
! till next winter.
The removal of the Montgomery Government to
Richmond will be, as we have abundant evidence
already, attended with a transfer of immense
j bodies of Southern troops to Virginia. They are
j pouring m from all the Non*hern States, and the
prospect is that the Southern crop of corn, wheat,
Ac., will bo ample to sustain them. The uor-ox
port of cot tou during tbe blockade df the sa
; e agt, and the prohibition of its export except
! -fom Southern seaports, will cause u >ti l further
di\ ersi..ii of slavo labor iu the cotton States to the
production ot corn aud cattle, during every suc
cessive season ot the war. There will bo less of
luxury and extravagance, and perhaps even some
lack of ordinary comforts, in the Southern States
during a seven years’ war, and the same may be
said in regard to a portion at least ot the North
ern States; but it is evident that, cn both sides,
all the privations consequent upon the chances of
the struggle will be accepted and iudor&ed with
resignation and hope ot a more happy future.

it could last ten years—sl2o,ooo a year, and ODe

It is estimated that over a hundred and fifty
