*• t’ncle Sam” has built strong places for his ene

which defends the mouth of the Savannah Kiver
and the approaches to the city. It was left to
taxe care f itaelf, and the Georgians qtyetly step- !
p%l wits ii, ar.d haw- been in* competing
it-* dafapees, ho that it is now Capable of
,Ji. ,fterv eitecUiailv. Pulaski was a
twl ?n t|ie rlefer.ee of Savannah against the HrH-
T-. aid whose memory is perpetuated in the
rhu <i < t th“ Fort, which - now under thA..Confed
erate flag, inf rarrisoned by bitter foes <f the i
C t|d States.
Aniohg our pstftv were Commodore Tatnall,
’ whose name mil be familar to English ears •'in
Hnnectien with'*the attack on the Pqfrio Forts,
where -he gallant American showed the world
tb*it “ Waod was thicker than water;” Brigadier
Gonarai I.aw ton in command of the loreaa of
Georgia, and a number ot naval rnd rfiiliUry offi
cers, ot whom many had belonged 4o the United’
States’ regular service. It was strange to look at
sachet nmn as th’e Commodore, who for forty-nine *
! Ipugtearft liad served under the Stars and Stripes,
ouietjj pre j taring to meet bis old comrades and
fi :- uds, if neetji be, in the battle field—his allegi

I ct ’d right of rebellion on the part of “ his State.”
U- Is not now, nor lia he been for years, a alave-
I owner; all bis family aud familiar asaociations
! dbnn- ct him with the North. There are no naval
; slut, ns on the Southern coast, except one at
| i'. rrf*r ; ,la, and he knows almost no one in the
! South, lie has no fortune whatever; his fleet
| conMCts of two small river or coasting steamers,
I w ithout guns, aud, as he said hi talking over the
| ot tbe South, “ My bones will be bleach
f ‘-*d may a inng year before the Confederate States
I can to have a navy.” “State Bights!”
Tons the question is simply inexplicable or
absutti. Ana yot tliooeunds of Americans sacri
hce ill fjpr it. The river*at Savannah is broad as
the Tiiamcs at Gravesend, and resembles that
stream very much in the color of its waters ami
the level nature of its shores. Kke-flelda bound
it <n either side, as far down as the influence of
th fresh water extends, and the eye wanders
o, r a flat expanse of mud aud and greeu
<rxiei'4 i'uehea, till its search is arrested on
the horizon by the unfluling Hue ol forest. In
the fields here and there are the whitewashed
square wooden huts in which the slaves dwell,
Iwokiug very like the beginmags of the camp in
the Crimea. At one point a small fori, covering
a creek by which gunboats could get Up behind
Savannah, displayed its “garrison” oa the walls,
and lowered its flag to salute the small blue en
sign attLe fore which proclaimed the presence of
the Comiiiouore o the Naval Forces of Georgia
on board our steamer. The guns ou the parapet

| ot the Fort is 650 men, and fully that
! number were in.and about the work, their’ tents
I being pitched inside the Redan or on the terre
| ptein of the parapets. The walls are exceedingly
j solid and well built of hard gray brick, strong us
iron, upward* of six feet in thickness, the case-
I mates and bbmh-proofa being lofty, airy, and ca-
I pacious as‘any I have ever seen, t hough there is
not quite depth enough between the wails at the
salient and the gun-carriages. The work is in
j tended for I‘2S guns, of which about one fourth
| nr.? mounted on the Casemates. They are long
‘s. with g few 4‘2’s and columbiads. ‘The arirra-
I ment will b exceetliogly heavy when all the
I gum? are mouHted, and they are fast getting the
j 10-inoh eojumbiads into position en barbette.
Everything which could be required, except mr- •
| tuns, was in abundance—the platforms and gun
c:M i luges hue solid and well made, tfie embrasures
i ot the caseinates are admirably constructed, aud
the ventilation of the bomb-proof carefully pro
vided for. There are three furnaces for heating
j red Upt shot.

whom I went round the works were as sharp in
1 tone ami umunuj’ to their men as volunteers well
could be ; though the latter are etilislud lor oply
thr. e year* by the State of Georgia. An excel
lent lunch was spread iu the bomb
pi oof. wljich set ved as the Colonel's quarter, and
before sunset the party were steaming towards
>a. .utuah, through .. tideway full of leaping stur

jiie approach ol a large ship, which bad her ijails
. aback, qfl tbe bar, and hoisted the Stars and
Stum s, but which turned out to benothing more
! formidable than a Liverpool cotton ship.
It will take soaie hard blows before Georgia is
| driven to let go hw grq> of Fort i’ulaski. Tbe
s channel is very narrow, aud passes close to the
j guns of flie fort. The means of completing the
ai uiauiect have bcea furnished by the stores of
Norfolk Navy Yard, where between 7.00 and e"U
t guns have falleu into the hands of the Confeder
ates ; and, if there are no columbiads among them,
the if rim ic and other ships, which have been
raised, as we bear, with guns uninjured, will yield
tip their Dalbgrcns to turn tljjeir muzzles against
their old masters

4,real Time* In tl* New York Produce
Kxchange.
The New York Exprt** relates the following as I
having occurred at the Produce Exchange of that j
city on the 12th of June :
The New York Produce Exchauge on Satur- j
day presented quite an animated appearance, j
and at one time it seemed as if the first great bat
tle of] the campaign was to be fought here instead !
of in Virginia. The circumstances are about as I
follows:
Mr. Richard Lathers, of tbe Great Western In ;
-uirance Company, came ou Change ou Saturday, j
and communicated to his friends there assembled i
the fact that the Underwriters hod reduced the ;
-rate on war risks from hve to two and one-half per j
As soon as this intelligence became known !
among some of the merchants, Mr. Lathers was
requested to get up on tbe President’s desk and \
make the announcement publicly, so that all j
parties might have the full benefit of it. Mr. j
Lathers assented to the request, and proceeded to i
Mate the action of the Underwriters, which met *
tlie approval of tbe assemblage, and he was loud- j
Iv cheered. This, however, was not destined to i
last long. j
lie theu went on to say that the underwriters |
I did not believe that England would allow priva-;
teers to be fitted out at her pons, or prizes \.i be ]
taken into them after being captured; and that
i they had charged this extra war premium so as j
| to be fullv prepared, that is, accumulate a fond j
that would policies good, apd enable ]
I them to pag, in case such a thing should by any
I means place. Mr. Lathers proceeded, for
| quite a!fengtb of tiipe, hut the substance of his 1
j remarks is given above.
Mr. Charles H. Marshall then topk the £tand j
rwnid loud cries, and it was some time befofe he ,
j could tret a heafriog. fie took ground against the
action of the underwriters, saying that it they did
not believe private*!* were to be feared, they
Would not impose any additional rate of insu
rance. and if they did have anv fear*, thev never
ought to issue another policy, or t'*eirinstitution*
were not sound. These remarks brought down
the house. He went on to say that no &ane man
eould for a moment think that Great Britain was
going to do any such thing as permit the fitting
out of privateers n her ports ; but many of the
merchant $ on ‘Change did not seem to acquiesce
in tliis opinion or to have much respect for it.
Mr. Lathers then proceeded to correct some
misconstruction of h.s remarks; but here a great
difficulty stared him in the face. The crowd sup
posed he intended to defend, in a measure, the
British Government, and became almost furious
ngminftt him on this account; but probably his
political antecedents Lad not a little to do’ with
this ill feeling. He was hissed, aud all sorts of
opprobrious epithets were cast at him, such as
“put him out,” “he is a secessionist,” “bang him
to a lamp post,” and many others, more expres
sive than elegant, and too numerous to mention.
Mr. Sage then mounted the stand and endeavor
ed to obtain for Mr. Lathers a hearing, but he
failed. Mr. Read next endeavored to do the same
thing, but met with poor success. AH this time
Mr. Lathers was trying to get a word in, but the
yells and hisses drowned his voice.
Mr. Smith now got up and administered a
scorching rebuke to the assemblage, and said free
speech was one of the dearest privileges of this
country. His bold and fearless manner goon
broug >t the merchants to their censes, when Mr.
Lathers was allowed to make his explanation and
depart in-peace.
Thus ended the first exciting scene that has oc
curred on tlie Predact- Exchange since it was
opened to the public, and it was the general opin
ion among the most sensible merchants that it did
not reflect credit upon those who were particip
ants.
’lr. LindssL .TI, 1., on tli<> American
War,
NVe find the following report of Mr. Lindsay’s
speech to his English constituents, in the Liver
pool Post, which we are sure, w ill be read with
interest:
Mr. Lindsay gave a long account of tlie visit he
recently made to the United Siutes, with the view
o! inducing our cousins across the water to adopt
several reforms of vast importauae to the ship
ping interests of both nations. lie said the Gov
ernment of America and those who were now in
office—at least the Vice President of the United
States of America—ail but admitted that, upon
principles of justice towards Euglaud, and for
tb -ir o'vn interest, they would be bound to open,
at least to ship-owners of England, the trade be
tween the euMtcrn and western ports, and throw
open the whole of the trade upon the lakes. In
regard iu ihe other question, he heartily and
warmly conversed with him; and he agreed with
the Government of the day, even to the very clau
ses of the Convention.
Ib* was happy to tell them that our own Gov
< rniißjit had takeu into considerat’ou those ques
> , and he might be permitted to say that the
Government of England had entirely approved of
the clauses of the convention which he proposed
to tlie l ailed .Statesot America. They had hardiv
e\< i altered a word ot the first draught of that
conv. iitfnn. Why it was not ratified, every one
knew, immediately after he left the States that
untoruinate secession movement took place. But
he did not doubi, when those troubles were settled
—which lie hoped they may be—that that con
vention would be signed between the two coun
tries. speaking of tbe civil war, he said that iu
travelling through the States of America, he saw’
that separation was a mere question of time. It
was clear to bis own mind that, however well a
republican form of government might ausvver a
limited number of people, and in limited ter
ritories, yet, when a nation amounted to up
wards of 30,000,000, and spread over thousands of
mile.-, coiJMsiiug •! thirty-three different States,
each in itself a sovereign State, with a separate
Ij:gi?>lature, with interests opposed to each other,
with feelings different in many respects—however
well a i ijpublican government might answer on a
limited scale, it was impossible to govern a vast
traci nf country such as that—a mighty mass
of peopk*, by mat form of government.
In t ln* present struggle, our policy, he thought,
ought to be one of strict nob intervention ; but,
as Lord John Russell hud made one step by ac
khowleduir th Southern Confederacy as bellig
erents, he tell that when the proper tune arriv
ed, it would'be desirable that he should take an
other oop iu advance, and achnowledge the South
ern Conte li racy as an independent power. It
must come to that in time ; aud that if England
and rrtt.u* *-, at the proper lime, acknowledged
t oe Southern Confederacy as au independent pow
er. it might stay this cry Tor vengeance which, he
was sorry to see, came from the North against
the Sou’h. It might stay that desire to march
those armies into the Southern States, for the
purpose of subduing those States. It might tend
to save much blood shed, and it would be adopt

the i iople of England aud to the people of Amer
ica ‘ tlu-iiistdves. Mauy excellent friends he had
were iti tin* Northern States; but he was bound
to stale that the .system of taxation which they
had long carried out had been a system of great
injustice to the people of the Southern States of
America.
Now, when they looked to the exports of Ame
rica, and where those exports came from, they
would not be surprised at the Southern States re
sisting what they thought to be a pressure. Last
veaf the exports from the United States amount
ed to 350,000.000, in round numbers of dollars.
If they analyzed that, they would find that out of
those •’•.‘>0,000,000 of dollars, 250,000,000 consisted
of the produce ana manufactures of the South.
He learned from high authority that the South

a million of men, well trained irt arms. Their

He deplored the coarse which had been adopt

protected under that flag, when there was a large
amount of spoil to be obtained, (hear, hear.)
With regard to a blockade, lie need not state that
that blockade must b an elfective one before we
would respect it ; and he did not see how they
could maintain an effective blockade along that
vast line of coast. But while the blockade was
maintained even at the principal ports, it must
be a matter of serious loss to the shipowners and
merchants of England.

A PROCLAMATION,
To th 4 people of Xorthwesterr* Virginia-^By the
Governor of Virginia :
The sovereign people of Virginia, unbiased, and
by their own free choice, have, by a majority of 1
nearly one hundred thousand qualified voters, ‘
severed the ties that heretofore oound them to
the Government of the United States, and united I
this Common wealth with the Confederate States. 1
That our people have the right “to institute a
new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles, and organizing its powers in such form, |
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness,” was proclaimed by our
fathers, and it is a right which no frefifiian should
ever relinquish. The State of Virginia has now, j
the second time in her history, attested this right,
and it is the duty of every Virginian to acknowl
edge her act when ratified by such a majority, and
to give his willing co-operation to make good the
declaration. .\ll her people have voted. Each
has taken his chance to have his personal views
represented. You, as well as the rest of the i
State, have cast your vote fairly, and the majority *
is against you. It is the duty of good citizens to )
yield to tbe will of the State. The bill of rights
has proclaimed ** that the people have a right to
‘uniform government ; and, therefore, that no
government separate from or independent of the
government of Virginia, ought to be erected or
established within the limits thereof.” The ma
jority, thus declared, therefore have a right to
govern.
But, notwithstanding this right, thus exercised,
has been regarded by the people of all sections of
the.Uuited States as undoubted and sacred, yet
the Government at Washington now utterly de
nies it, and by the exercise of despotic power is
endeavoring to coerce our people to abject sub
’ mission to their authority. Virginia has asserted
i her independence. She will maintain it at every
; hazufd. She is sustained by the power of ten of
| her sister Southern States, ready and willing to
I uphold her cause. Can auy true Virginian re
i fuse to render assistance ? Men of the Northwest,
I appeal to you, by all the considerations which
have drawn ns together as one people heretofore,
to rally to tbe standard f the Old Dominion. By
all the sacred ties of consanguinity, by the inter
mixture of tbe blood of East and West, bv com
mon paternity, by friendships hallowed by a thou
sand cherished recollections, by memories of the
past, by the relics of tbe great men of other days,
come to Virginia’s banner, aud drive the invaders
frem your soil. There may be traitors in tbe
midst of you, who, for selfish ends, have turned
against their mother, and would permit her to be
ignominiously oppressed and degraded. But I
cannot, will not, believe tba£Fmajority of you are
not true sods, who will give your blood and your
treasure for Virginia’s defence.
1 have sent for your protection such troops as
the emergency enables me to collect, in charge of
a competent commander. I have ordered a large
force to go to your aid, but I rely with the utmost
confidence upon your own strong arms to rescue
your firesides aud altars from the pollution of a
reckless and ruthless enemy. The State is inva
ded at several points, but ample forces have been
collected to defend her.
There has been a complaint among you that
the Eastern portion of the State has enjoyed an
exemption from taxatiou to your prejudice. Tne
State, by a majority of 05.000, has put the two
sections on an equality iu this respect. By a dis
play of magnanimity in the vote just given, the
East has, by a large majority, consented to re
linquish this exemption, and is ready to share
witn you all the burdens of Government and to
meet all Virginia’s liabilities. They come now to
aiu you, as you came in former days to aid them.
The men of the Southern Confederate States
glory iu coming to your rescue. Let one heart,
one mind, one energy, one power, nerve every
patriot arm iu a common cause. The heart that
will not beat in unison with Virginia now, is a
traitor’s heart; the arm that will not strike home
in her cause now, is palsied by a coward fear.
The troops are posted at liuttonsville. Come
with your own good weapons and meet them as
brothers !

Suspicious Craft on our Coast. —A large sloop,
apparently a stranger in our neighborhood, has
been seen cruising tor the past week from Dewees’
Inlet, along the coast of Long Island, disappear
ing occasionally for live or six hours, and again
returning towards the shore. As many as twen
ty-five or thirty men have been seen upon her
decks, and it is supposed that she is engaged in
sounding ami reconnoiteriug along our coast in
that neighborhood. Her occasional absence is
probably to report to the Y'ankee vessels of the
blockading fleet. That portion of our coast is
entirely unprotected, and depredations could be
readily committed upon the property and cattle
to be found there, without meeting with opposi
tion. It is to be hoped the matter will be exam
ined into at once. —Charleston News, 1 6th inst.
Rags, Rags, Rags.-— Save your rags, people of

found at the paper-mill here for them. They are
moady to you—therefore save them. They are
better than money to the public—therefore be
sure and save them all.
A Careless Commission Merchant.— There is an
on d'it in circulation to the effect that a lot of mus
kets shipped by the administration at Washington
for Dresdo, Tenneseee, and designed for the
Union men of Weakly county, consigned to a
commission merchant at Paducah, Kv., were, by
accident, forwarded to Union City. The number
of the muskets was five hundred. In the hands of
Southern men at Union City they will be put to
good use. Mr. Etheridge will have to give “ Old
Abe” tlie name of a more careful merchant at
Paducah, when auother shipment is made.

flying at Berlin and Knoxville.
Martinsburg is said to be occupiep bv a large

Baltimore, June 14.—This evening, as two sol
diers of Col. Morehead’s regiment were walking

McCormick, of company K. The house was
searched, but the party escaped. The wound was
slight.
Philadelphia, June 15. A special dispatch

tbe Armory at. Fayetteville, N.*C., where the fab
rication and alteration arms will be immediate

this city yesterday from Harper’s Ferry en route
for North Carolina. —Richmond Dispatch.
The SqYadron.—The steamer Wm. Seabrook
went down yesterday on a visit to the fleet, her
particular purpose being, we are informed, to pro
pose an exchange of prisoners, the crew of the
privateer Savannah being ou board the Minnesota
and held there as prisoners of war. On going out
side the bar the Seabrook was met about 13/ miles
from the frigate Wabash by the propeller Flag,
aud those on board the Seabrook were informed
that noue could be permitted to visit the ship of
war but the British Consul. A written communi
cation was then sent to the Wabash, and n reply
received, the nature of which we have not been
able to learn. The Minnesota was uot in sight so
far as could be observed , but there is a merchant
ship there, which is, no doubt, the Amelia, from
Liverpool, for this port, which vessel has been
seized. There was another square rigged vessel
off the bar, but her character was unknown.

Advance of the Invaders. —We learn from a
member of the Rockbridge Ad Dragoons, (says
the Lexington Gazette,) who has been with our
gallant little army since they were sent to Wes
tern Virginia, that our forces had retreated to the
pass iu the Cheat Mountains, about ninety miles
west of Staunton—that they are some 2500 strong,
militia and volunteers—that the enemy had ad
vanced upon them as far as Beverly, ’ Randolph
county. 12 miles in their rear. The invaders in
Tygart’s River Valley are estimated gt from fif
teen to sixteen thousand, with reinforcements be
hind them.
The marauders, it thus appears, are making
| their way into the heart of the State. Our peo
! pfa must look to their safety, aud prepare to drive
; them back. It is high time to be fully aroused,
I and let the cry of To Arms ! resound through the
hills ot West Augusta.
The Enemy Approaching!— By special courier
from Romney, Hampshire county, we are informed
: that the Fedt-ral forces, to ihe number of 1,000,
i arrived in that town on Wecnesdav at 12 o’clock,
and took possession. A ‘orward movement is
hourly looked for, and Wi ichester is beyond
question the next point to be advanced upou by
the miserable mercenaries of a corrupt and profli
gate military dictator.
Men of Frederick, arouse, and prepare to meet
the invader of your soil. Your honor demands
it. The sanctity of your homes, the protection
due your wives, your mothers and sisters, de
mands an instantaneous rally. By all the memo
ries of the glorious past, by all the demands of
the exigent present, and by all the hopes of u suc

FROM MANASSAS JUXCtIOU.
Manassas Junction, June 16.—8 y general or
ders, read yesterday on parade, Gen. Beauregard
takes occasion to characterize in strong terms the
carelessness in the use of fire-arms, which has re
sulted so seriously in several instances of late, aud
expresses his hope that combined caution on the
part oFofficers and men will prevent a recurrence
ol such iamentaole casualties.
Many rumors were floating through camp yes
terday of an attack on Harper’s Ferry, fighting at
Strasbarg, 4c., but nothing definite has turned up
Several more prisoners have been brought in
within a day or so past, aud will soon be added to
that interesting list of Paul Prvs now in limbo in
your city.
Since, through the agency of some of their
friends, “discharged after careful examination,”
the abolitionists have become acquainted with
the fact that there are more troops here than
th^ - at first believed, it may not be amiss to say
that the army here is far more powerful than
people generally suppose. One might go con
siderably over the highest figure mentioned yet
among you, aud still fall short. The drill, by some
of the companies, is really beautiful, aud the
whole camp is under a degree of discipl.ne which
is as creditable to tbe men as it must be gratify
ing to the officers.
Intelligence of a terribje tragedy, occurring in
Greene county, has been received by one of the
companies from that county, in one of the Virgin
ia Regiments now here. It seems that three
negroes entered the house of a citizen of that
county, intending to kill him. but by mistake fell
upon his wife aud cruelly murdered her. The man
ot the house, aroused by the tumult, attacked the
villains and managed to kill one, the others es
caping. The Home Guard are said to be under
i arms and great cxcitemeut is represented as pre
vailing. Revenge for punishment received ou ac
count of some theft, is said to have occasioned
the outrage.
From private letters received here from reliable
sources in Alexandria, the mortality among the
invaders at that place from dysentery an.i similar
disea&es, averages very nearly twenty a day. As
the weather becomes more sultry and the work
ot these scoundrels waxes hotter, our climate will
be very nearly as effectual as our bnllets. A
refugee, just from Washington, states that there
are 40,00'J Federal troops there, of them
are very much dissatisfied.
FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
Fredericksburg, Ya., June 17. —Tlie town, usu
ally quiet, was thrown into a little “ ferment”
yesterday by the arrival of six deserters from the
Garibaldi Legion, of New York, now stationed at
Washington ; every oue was, of course, curious,
and wanted a look and a word, and for a short
time there was a considerable jam and a squeeze.
After the first “puts” had somewhat blown over, I
learned with a good deal of difficulty that they,
being French, aud scarcely able to understand a
word oi English, were en route to join the New
Orleans Zouaves, and had deserted on Wednes
day morning, and walked all the way from
Washington to a point on the Maryland shore
of the Potomac, nearly opposite Mathias* Point.
They report quite au interesting state of affairs
at Washington, and adduce it as among the rea
sons which iuduced them to leave. They say that,
the excuse of the Government for not paying the
soldiers, viz : the abseuce ot pay-rolls—is all
fudge, and that the Government has up money
and no means of getting any. As au evidence,
they say that a shoe merchant who had furnished
about SIO,OOO worth of shoes to the soldiers, pre
sented his bill, and was told that it was impossi
ble to pay it, the treasury being almost entirely
empty.
They also throw some light ou the hitherto dark
question as to the number killed in the fight at
Acquia creek. They say that eighty-one dead
bodies were removed from the Freeborn at the
Navy Yard at Washington—many of them horri
bly mangled. 1 think this report may be relied
on, as 1 received a similar statement from Dr.
Green, late of the Navy, who has just arrived from
Baltimore.

FROM WINCHESTER.
Winchester, V a., June 14. —Permit me to ad
dress you a short letter from this point, composed
of a little news, small matters and things in gen
eral. There is a good deal of exeitement here,
owing to the large body of Northern despot’s hire
lines having taken possession of Romney, about
forty-two miles distant, and are expected to march
on this place. However, this point will not be so
easily taken as Romney, which in her patriotism
and zeal for the Soutbei n cause, had sent nearly
ail her men away to drive back tbe ruthless iuva
der from the soil of the Old Dominion. Troops
are corning in great numbers, aud it is believed
that they will welcome those minions of tyranny
at tbe point of the bayonet, and greet them to
bloody graves. Our compauy, the “ Liberty Hall
Volunteers,” composed of the students of Wash
ington College, Lexington, Ya., numbering sev
enty, arrived here yesterday evening, together
with a regiment from East Tennessee, with whom
we fell in at Gordonsville. The citizens here are
very hospitable, indees, to the soldiers, which,
together with the smiles of approbation that
greet them from the daughters of beauty, make
it a delightful place for quarters.

“ Anecdotes of the Race 1 ’
“ Our boys” tell a good many anecdotes about
t’ue Yankees enuagea m the battle at Bethel on
Monday last A tew of these we propose to dot
down lor the amusement of our readers.
It is related that while Old Abe’s fellows were
in full Sight along the road towards Hampton, and
long after the .Southern troops had ceased to chase
them, sevetal of them overtook an old negro
woman on the road ; being nearly out of breath
they looked round, and finding no enemy imme
diately behind them, oue of them said : “ For
God’s sake, old woman, do tell us liow maDy men
Colonel Magruder had in that battle.” ” Bress
your soul, iionev, I do’no ‘zackly, but I bear de
white folks say de Gen’ral had a whole heap, at
least a thousand.” “ Come, Jake, don't let’s stop
yet, then. Ain’t it a great wonder them chivalry
chaps had'nt surrounded our army and cut us
all to pieces.” And having satisfied themselves
thus much, they renewed their race towards
Hampton at 2.40 speed. We do not vouch lor the
truth of this, and as it was told by the old woman
herself, we have no way of proving it, as the
negro’s evidence will not be received in court.
Another anecdote, we understand, was told by
some of their owd men. It is said that Gen. But
ler was riding about a mile from Hampton, when
his troops came dashing down the road at full tilt.
Recognizing a captain among them, Butler ac
costed him and asked him what they were run
ning so for. The captain, pantlDg for breath told
him, ” Theie's a whole lot of Southern gentlemen
chasing us.”
From the same paper we learn that anew
guerilla company has been organized in Norfolk,
and Jambs Y. Leigh, Esq., elected Captain. The
name adopted is the “ Lee Guerillas.” in honor of
the gallant commander of the Virginia forces.
Affair at Newport News. —On ~iunday morn
ing last Mr. Samuel Pryor, of the Charles City
Troop, in company with Mr. HiU Carter, jr., and
Mr. Lee, a citizen of Warwick county, was out on
a reconnoissaoce at Newport News, and were pro
ceeding quietlv along on horseback when they
were surprised bv a partv of about 20 Hessians,
who were hid in ‘the bushes. The three gentle
men bred upon the enemy, and it is believed each
killed a man. The fire was returned, anu Mr.
Pryor received a shot in the groin. They then
retired, and had proceeded some distance from tbe
scene of action before his companions were aware
of the disaster that had belalfen Mr- Pryor. He
was taken to a private house, where he died about
six hours after being shot. The body was brought
up to Wilcox’- wharf yesterday by the steamer
Curtis Peck, Capt. J. H”Freeman, from whom we
learned these particulars.— Dispatch,

When it threw the last shell on the ISth an unu

Ur. Kawll’t Eighth Letter to the Lou
don Tiniea.
Montgomery, Capital op top Confederate )
States of America, Mav S, I*6l. f
In my last letter I gave an account of such mat
ters as passed under my notice on my way to this
city, which I reached, as you are aware, on the
night of Saturday, May 4. I am on difficult ground;
the land is on tire, the earth is shaking with the
tramp of armed men, and the yery air is hot with
passion. My communications are cut oft, or are
at best accidental, and in order to iVopen them I
must get further away from them, paradoxical as ,
the statement may appeal to be. It is impossible !
to know what is going on in the North, and it is
almost the same to learn what is doing in the
South out of eyeshot; it is useless to inquire what !
news is sent to you to Kneland. The telegraphic f
communications are now broken, so ate the mail
routes Newspapers and letters now and then
reach well known people here from Newi ork in
sfx or seven days. Events hurry on vmhtremen
dous rapidity, and even tbe lightning lags behind
firmly believe the war willnot last a year, I
and that 1862 will behold a victorious, compact !
slaveholdiug Confederate power of fifteen Strtes
under a strong government, prepared to hold its
own against tiie world, or that portion of it which
mar attack it. . >
r' now but repeat the sentiments aud expecta
tions of those around me. They believe in the
irresistible power of Cotton, in the natural alli
ance between manufacturing England and trance
and the Cotton producing slave States, in the
force of their simple tariff, and in tne interests
which arise out of a system of tree trade, which,
however, bv a rigorous legislation, they will in
terdict to their neighbors in the Iree states, and
only open for the benefit of their foreign custo-
D1 Commercially, and politically, and militarily,
they have made up their minds, aud never was
there such confidence exhibited by any people in
the future as they have, or pretend to have, in
their destiny.
The people of the South, at last, are aware that
the “ Yankees” are preparing to support the Gov
ernment of the Uuited States, and mat the seces
sion can only be maintained by victory in the field,
there has beeu a change in the war policy. They
non uver that “they only w ant to be left alone,
and they declare t::at they do not inteud to take
Washington, and that it’was merely as a feint
they spoke about it. Tue fact is there are even
in the compact and united South meu ot moderate
and men of extreme views, and the general tone
of the whole is regulated by the preponderance of
one or the other at the moment. 1 have no
doubt on my mind that the Government here in
tended to attack and occupy Washington ; not tbe
least that they had it much at heart to reduce
Fort Pickens as soon as possible. Now some of
their frieuds soy that it will be a mere matter of
convenience whether they attack Washington or
not, and that, us for Fort Pickeus, they wiil cer
tainly let it alone, at all events for the present,
inasmuch as the menacing attitude of Gen. Bragg
obliges the enemy to keep a squadron of the best
ships there, and to retain h force of regulars they
can ill spare in a position where they must soon
lose enormously from disease incidental to the
climate. They have discovered, too, that the po
sition is of little value, rs long as the,United States
hold Tortugas and Key West.
Listen 10 their programing .
It is intended to buy up all the cotton crop
which can be brought into the market at an aver
age price, and to give bonds of the Confederate
States, for the amount, these bonds being, as we
know, secured by the export duty on cotton. The
Govermneut, with this cotton crop in its owu
hauds, will use it us a formidable machine ot war,
for cotton can do anything, from the establish
ment of an empire to the securing of a shirt but
ton. It is at once king and subject, master and
servant, captain and soldier, artilleryman and
gun. Not one bale of cotton will be permittedjto
enter the Northern States. It will be an offence
punishable with tremendous penalties, among
which confiscation of property, enormous fines
aud even the penalty of death, are ennmerated, to
send cotton into the free States. Thus Lowell aud
its kindred factories will be reduced to ruin, it is
said, and the North to the direst distress. If Man
chester can get cotton and Lowell cannot, there
are good times comiug for the mill owners.
The planters have agreed among themselves to
holdover one-half of their cotton crop for their
own purposes and for the culture of their fields,
and to sell the other to the Government. For
each bale of cotton, I hear, a bond will be issued
on the fair average price of cotton in the market,
ana this bond must be taken at par as a circula
ting medium within the limits of the States. This
forced circulation will be secured by the act of
the Legislature. The bonds will bear interest at
ten per cent.., and they will be issued on the faith
and security of the proceeds of the duty of one
eighth of a cent on every pound of cotton ex
ported. All vessels loading with cotton will be
obliged to enter into bonds or give security that
they will not carry their cargos to Northern
ports, or let it reach Northern markets to their
knowledge. The Government will sell the cotton
for cash to the foreign buyers, and will thus raise
funds amply sufficient, they contend, for all pur
poses.
I make these bare statements, and 1 leave to po
litical economists the discussion of the question
which may and will arise out of the acts of the
Government of the Confederate States. The
Southerners argu that by breaking from their
unnatural alliance with the North they will save
upwards of $47,000*600, or nearly .£10,000,000
sterling, annually. The estimated value of the
annual cotton crop is $200,000,000. On this the
Nortli formerly made at least $10,000,000 by ad
vances, interest and exchanges, which in all came
to fully five per cent, on the whole of the crop.
Again, the tariff to raise revenues sufficient for
the maintenance of the Government of the South
ern Confederacy is far less than that which is re
quired by the Government of the United States.
The Confederate States propose to have a tariff
which will be about 123*.’ per cent, on imports,
which will yield $25,000,000. The Northern tariff
is 30 per cent., and as the South took from the
North $70,000,000 worth ot manufactured goods
aud produce, they contributed, they assert, to the
maintenance of the North to the extent of the dii
ference between the tax sufficient for the support,
of their Government and that which is required
for the support of the Federal Government. —
Now thev will save the difference between 30 per
cent, and per cent., f per cent.,; which
amounts to $37,000,000, which, added to the com
missions, exchanges, advunces, &c., makes up the
good round sum i have put down higher up.
The Southerners are firmly convinced that they
have “kept the North going” by the prices they
have paid for the protected articles of their
manufacture, and they hold out to Sheffield, to
Manchester, to Leeds, to Wolverhampton, to
Dudley, to Paris, to Lyons, to Bordeaux, to all
the centres of English manufacturing life, as of
French taste and luxury, the tempting baits of
new and eager aud hungry markets. If their
facts and statistics are accurate, there can be no
doubt of the justice of their deductions on many
points; but they can scarcely he correct in as
suming that they will bring the United States to
destruction by cutting off from Lowell the
six huudred thousand bates of cotton which she
usually consumes.
One great fact, however, is unquestionable—the
Government has in its hands the souls, the wealth
and the hearts of tbe people. They will give any
t hing—money, labor, life itself—to carry out their
theories.
“ Sir,” said an Ex-Governor of this State to me,
“ sooner than submit to the Xorth we will all be
come subjects to Great Britain again.” The same
gentleman is one of many who have given to the
Government a large portion of their cotton crop
every year as a tree will offering. In his instance
his gift is one of 500 bales of cotton, or £SOOO per
annum, and the papers teem with accounts of
similar “patriotism” and devotion.
The ladies are all making sandbags, cartridges
and uniforms, and, if possible, they are more
tierce than the men. The time for mediation is
past, if it ever were at hand or present at all, and
it is scarcely possible now to prevent the proces
ses of phlebolomization, which are supposed to
secure peace and repose.
The newspapers contain the text of the declara
tion of a state of war on Ihe part of President Da
vis, and of the issue of letters of marque and re
prisal, Jcc. The object of this war measure is to
depredate the value of the shipping of the Xorth,
and to prevent the vessels of the United ritates
commercial marine getting cargos abroad. Tbe
Government here conceive they have the light to
demand from foreign nations that their Hag shall
be recognized, anti their law officer declares the
Confederate .States will maintain their right to
issue letters of marque in the face of the world.—
It is the right of a belligerent power, and it was
respected, they say, by the courts of law iu the
United States in the case of tbe South American
Republics before any formal recognition of their
governments or of their independence was made
by any power. Tbe refusal to admit the priva
teers of the Confederate States to exercise the
rights of belligerents in the right of search will he
taken as an act of war, and as proof of alliance
with the enemy—that is, the Government of the
United States. It need hardly be observed that
the protection of British interests demands that
an efficient squadron of vessels be at once sent to
tbe American waters in tbe face of such contin
gencies as will inevitably arise.
But it may be asked, who will take these letters
of marque ? Where is the Government of Mont
gomery to find ships V The answer is to be found
in tbe fact that already numerous applications
bavejbeen received from the .shipowners of Xew
England, from the whalers of New Bedford, and
from others in the Northern States, for these very
letters of marque, accompanied by the highest
securities and guarantees. This statement 1
make on the very highest authority. J leave it to
you to deal with the facts.
To day I proceeded to the Montgomery Down
iug street and Whitehall, to present myself to the
members of the Cabinet and to be introduced to
the President of the Confederate States of Ameri
ca.
The offices of the government are contained
under one roof in a large red brick building of
unfaced masonry, winch looks like a handsome
lirst class warehouse. On the first landing is u
| square hall, surrouuded by doors on which legible
| inscriptions are fixed to indicate the offices of
“Tbe President ” “The Secretary of War,” “Tbe
j Attorney General,” “The Secretary of State” “of
the Cab net,” Ac., and on a landing above are
I situated the offices of the other members of tbe
! government. The building is surmounted by the
] flag of the Confederate Stales. There is no sentry
j at tbe doors, and access is free to all, but there
; are notices on the doors warning visitors that
I they can onlv be received during certain hours,
i The President was engaged with some gentle
men when I was presented to him, but he receiv
ed me with much kindliness of manner, and when
they had left, entered into conversation with me
for some time on general matters. Mr. Davis is a
man of slight, sinewy figure, rather over the mid
dle height, and of erect, soldier like bearing. He
is about no years of age; bis features are regular
and well defined, but tbe face is thin, and marked
on cheek and brow with many wrinkles, and is
rather careworn and haggard. One eve is appa
rently blind, tbe other is dark, piercing and intel
ligent. He was dressed very plainly n a light
gray summer suit. In the course of conversation
be gave an order for tbe Secretary of War to fur
nish me with a letter as a kind of passport in case
of my falling in with tbe soldiers of any military
posts who might be indisposed to let me pass
freely, merely observing that I had been enough
within tbe lines of catnp9 to know what was my
dnty on such occasions.
I was subsequently presented to Mr. Walker,
tbe Secretary of War. who promised to fnrnish
me with the needful documents before I left Mont
gomery.
In bis room were General Beauregard and sev
eral officers, engaged over plans and maps, appa
rently in a little council of war, which was, per
haps, not without reference to the intelligence
that the United States troops were marching on
Norfolk navy yard, and had actually occupied
Alexandria.
Ob leaving the Secretary, I proceeded to the
room of the Attorney General, Mr. BeDjamin, a
very intelligent and able man, whom J found
busied in preparations connected with the issue of
letters of marque.
Every thing in the offices looked like earnest
work and business.
The Zouaves REtoyNOiTEEixG.— The Petersburg
Express publishes the following statement fur
nished by a gentleman just from,Bethel Church :
Monday mornmg early four of tbe Xew Orleans
Zouaves left camp without leave, and directed
tbeir steps towards Newport News, alleging as a
reason that they desired to reconnoiter the forti
fications at that place. Some five or six hours af
ter their departure one of the Zouaves returned
to camp at Bethel, in a somewhat exhausted con
dition, and exhibited a bloody bowie-knife of ap
palling dimensions. He tepresents that his party
extended tbeir advance to within a mile and a half
of Newport News, when they found themselves
suddenly surrounded by a Yankee scouting party,
numbering some twenty or thirty. They deter
mined to cut tbeir way out if possible, ana, being
armed with nothing but bowie-knives, went to
work with a will. But one escaped, the other
three having been taken prisoners. The one who
returned declares that several of the Yankees
were killed by himself and friends. His own as
sertion is all the evidence we have, but we give
the story as be relates it.
From the New Yorh jYews.
Tlie Duty of tlie Commercial Community
of the North atthe Present Time.
It may perhaps be true, that a majority of the
people of the Northern States, misled by the false
representations industriously circulated under
the authority of the Administration, appeared in
clined, during the few days succeeding the bom
bardment of Fort Sumter, to tolerate the adoption
of coercive auti-secession measures against the
South. It is beyond all question, however, that
an immense reaction has since place, and
i that by far the greater number of our intelligent
i and thinking merchants, tradesmen manufaclnrers
I and mechanics —those in Tact who have -solid in
ierests at stake iu the community, which are be
i mg jeoparded by the war—now heartily repudiate
the despotic madness that is hurrying the Repub
lic to destruction; and contemplate with terror
and dismay the prospect before us. They look
forward with anxiety and dread to the develop
ments ot each succeeding day, and shrink aghast
from the yawning abyss of rum into which they
: clearly perceive that a six months’ continuance
, of Mr! Lincoln s atrocious Abolition policy must
inevitably engulf the remains of our national
prosperity. Yet holding, as these classes of our
citizens do, the future destinies of the country in
their hands, if they could but unite their efforts
and make their voices heard, they might conjure
away the hurricane which is rapidly sweeping
us toward auarchy, or a military despotism. It is
their duty to do so at once; and we have no hesita
tion in saying that, if a mass meeting could be
convened’in this city to-morrow of all who are
really in favor of peace.it would outnumber the
monster Union manifestations of six weeks ago,
and be characterized by an earnestness and sin
cerity that were wanting on that occasion.
On the loth of April the President illegally and
unconstitutionally summoned seventy thousand
troops to arms to put down “rebellion.” A little
later he demaudea eighty-three thousand more.
It was boldly proclaimed by his organs in the
press, that with such an immense army every
trace of secession would be speedily swept away.
So far from these predictions having been veri
fied, Tennessee, \ irginia, North Carolina and
Arkansas have since joined the seven States that
bad previously withdrawn from the Union, and
Missouri and Maryland are so dissatisfied that the
loss to the North of a single decisive battle will
cause them also to cast their lot with the bouth
ern Confederacy. With such a widened area of
conflict the armies assembled are pronounced in
sufficient to coerce the single State of irginia
into submission ; and to save itself from igno
minious defeat, the Administration is preparing,
in obedieuce to the outcries of the abolition press,
to issue a requisition for still nuother hundred
thousand volunteers, although it is not probable
thev could be pushed Southward as far as Rich
mond even if thev were all marshalled to-day on
toe Southern bank of the Potomac. The expenses
of Government are nearly twenty millions of dol-
lars a month, and if the war continues must soon
be doubled. A national debt of several huudred
millions is iu prospect, in face of an impoverished
country, and a credit already so impaired that
money can only be raised at the roost ruinous
sacrifices. Martial law has been most unconsti
tutionally proclaimed, the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus has been been arbitrarily and ty
rannicallv suspended, and we are on the eve of
hostilities with Great Britain, whose fleets will
blockade Northern harbors, while opening the
ports of the South,.besides annihilating our com
merce. The Constitution has become a by-word,’
security of life and property is gone, and not
withstanding this hideous recapitulation of crimes
and calamities, the end which has been the hypo
critical pretext for them of “restoring the unity
of the Republic” is further removed than ever
before, has become, iu truth, nearly hopeless.
The industrial classes of the country are surely
aud fearfully aware that universal impoverish
ment aud causeless national ruin will be the re
sult of the perpetuation of the reign of terror
which has recently gagged men’s mouths, crushed
out free speech and aimed to destroy the freedom
of the Press. On change, in counting houses and
manufactories, in omnibuses and in the street,
respectable thinkiug people are impelled once
more, by sheer necessity, and the law of self-pre
servation, to speak, and their voices are hourly
becoming louder, and more indignant and deter
mined, in behalf of peace, aud a cessation of the
inroads that are being made upon popular liber
ties and rights. Sensible Republicans, who, some
weeks ago, advocute civil war, confess themselves
ashamed of their precipitancy, and are endeavor
ing to atone for it by assuming a bold and reac
tionary attitude. Newspapers, traditionally con
servative, but frightened by the mob manifesta
tions of tlie middle of April into conniving at Abo
lition treason, again venture to declare ihe truth,
and as representative of the capital and industry
of citv and country, speak with wonted dignity
and firmness of the imperious emergency which
demands their efforts to restore peace. No disin
terested patriot will retrain from welcoming the
aid that may be derived fropi such sources, be
cause of past momentary weakness. The conduct
of Mr. Lincoln and his advisers is hastening the
last act of a terrible tragedy. At such a time,
when the land is being first drained of its re
sources, the lives of tens of thousands of useful
men are being offered as a sacrifice to the Moloch
of an insatiable and fanatical ambition, and the
mismanagement of a few weeks longer may see us
plunged into war with England,we devoutly thank
the Ruler pf the Universe for every single indi
vidual which may aid in swelling the avalanche of
reaction, which is about to overwhelm Republican
misrule.
Corrupt Northern politicians arc straining every
nerve to close the door forever against friendly
relations with the South. They will hasten on
and embitter the civil war that has begun through
every device iu their power. It is the imperative
duty of every good citizen, therefore, to throw off
the reserve and silence of the past, and to protest
opeuly and on every occasion against the contin
uance of hostilities. The Union may yet be re
constructed, but it cannot be done by violence.
The dogged determination of the Administration
to precipitate collision between the two sections
is the source of all our present dangers. Will the
industrial classes of the United States lend them
selves as instruments of its diabolical schemes V
Will they fire their own dwellings—destroy with
frenzied bunds the magnificent social and political
fabric of which the cornerstone was cemented in
the blood of their forefathers? If not, let them
hereafter think aloud. If they will do so, their
voices will drown into silence the crafty disunion
utterances, which for two months past, have rep
resented darkness to be light and light to be dark
ness.
Affairs at Norfolk. —From the correspon
dence of the Richmond Dispatch dated Norfolk,
June 17th, we take the following :
There is very little news in the city to-day.
Saturday afternoon the Hessians at the Rip-Raps
tired twelve shells at our battery on Sewell’s
Point, without even causing our men to pay them
the least attention. Their shells fell tar away
from them and bursted on the sand. Their tire
was not returned by our forces. Butler is in
creasing his forces at Newport News. A large
steamer was seen conveying troops from Old
Point on Saturday. The late IJ. S. ship German
town, which the vandais burned and sunk at the
Gosport Navy Yard, will be gotten up and ready
for repairs this week. The Merrimac is in the
Dry Dock, and the sloop Plymouth remains with
a portion of her hull out of the water. She will
be gotten up next. The States Frigate has been
made a store-ship of, and now holds the berth of
the old Pennsylvania.
Another letter of the same date says :
On Saturday evening Sewell’s Point was the
scene of another engagement. The tiring was
commenced by the Federal troops, about dark
this time making fire from Fort Calhoun, general
ly known us the Rip Raps. About a dozen shots
were fired, but did no damage. One of the shells
struck within 30 or 40 yards of a body of our men,
but, strange to aay, created no unusual alarm.
Quick as thought every man was to his post in
the battery, thinking that a ship had opened fire
upon them ; but they withheld fire on ascertain
ing from whence the shots came. It is thought
that our camp fires were the means of giving them
the location of our batteries.
On Sunday evening another fire was made from
the. same quarter. But few shots this time were
fired, and most of them either fell short of their
mark or succeeded in doing no In jury.
Two of the shells have been secured, and they
contrast much with those fired at the first engage
ment at this point. Instead of the regular fuse
before used, caps were substituted and lead placed
in the shell in such a way as to render explosion
certain when in contact with any hard substance.

Interesting from tlie Itlo Granule—Defeat
ol'Corlina’n Hand.
The I.aredo correspondent of the Corpus Christi
Rancliero furnishes ttie annexed interesting intel
ligence:
_ Dn the 22d May, a company of Mexicans from
Texas, attached to Col. Ford's force, and uuder
immediate command of Capt. Benavides, with for
ty men of his company, attacked Cortina, who was
encamped about one mile and a half from Red
mond’s rancho, with about seventy men, and com
pletely routed him—killing seven of bis men and
wounding several, and dispersing the place; he
got a great many horses, saddles, guns, Ac.
Cortina passed on the doth, about nine miles be
low, and hud Capt. Benavides completely hemmed
up in Redmond’s house, hoping to starve him out
and firing on him from time to time. One of Bena
vides’ men volunteered to take an express through
the enemy to Laredo, and Lieut. Callaghan start
ed from there at S o’clock, p. rn.,and arrived here
at 0 o’clock next morning, riding sixty-five miles
inj thirteen hours, accompanied] by Don Bacillio
Benavides and several citizens of f.aredo. With
twenty men of the company he met, about two
miles from here, Cortina's advanced guard, but
ran through them, completely dispersing them;
they having left their horses, saddles, and a great
many of them left their guns.
In five minutes after arriving, they, with Capt.
Benavides, went out to attack Cortina, and the
above was the result. CortiDa escaped w ith about j
ten men into Mexico, and never stopped until he i
got about twelve miles beyond Guerrero. It was
a short, but brilliant fiight, and one for which ‘
Capt. Benavides’ company deserves a great deal
of credit. Cortina, if not attacked so promptly,
in a few days would give as much trouble, and
cost tbe State as much as he did last year, as
nearly all the inhabitants of Zapata county, and
a great many persons of Guerrero were with Cor
tina, and helping him with resources.

Richmond, June loth.—A rumor reached here
at one o'clock P. M. to-day, that our force had
evacuated Harper’s Ferry.’ It may go to Colum
bus and lead to misapprehensions and doubts.—
It will be officially corrected to-morrow. My in
formation is from an official source. We intend
to get to Baltimore at once. Yesterday (Friday;
2,000 men were sent over to Winchester to catch
the viltians who have invaded Romney, and 2,-
500 to the PoiDt of Rock 9 three miles from Fred
erick, Md. Enough is left at the Ferry to suc
cessfully resist 100,000 men. This is the true
state of things. Our policy or plan K a rush on
Baltimore where 120,000 men await us, and then
a flank movement on Washington simultaneously
with an attack on Georgetown Heights from Ma
nassas Junction, while Generals Henry A. Wise
and John B. Floyd will take good care of North
Western Virginia, and open the eyes of the bor
der counties of Ohio. Rely on this and tell our
people to be of good cheer We will whip them
wherever we meet, and shall not stop until we re
ceive their submission perhaps amid tbe ruins of
what is now Philadelphia.
Richmond is in a state of thorough defence and
would repel an attack of 360,000 men. They will
not trouble us, my word for it, nor will they ever
go further South unless tbe infernal regions bear
on that point of the compass. Let your planters
and farmers, therefore remember that be who
feeds an army is as patriotic and useful as he wbo
leads it—garner their crops and save tbeir cereals
for our brave boys. We must depend on our soil
far food, as jre do upon our sons for defenue.
BSTIRN Herr EH Direct.—For several days
past we have noticed immense quantities of but

very important part in this war. It is so arranged [
that it will explode upon striking any solid ob !
ject, and is intended principally to use against j
ships. After striking a vessel, it will have time I
to enter from V to 12 inches before the explosion ,
occurs, and will then make a bole many times j
larger than an ordinary cannon ball. We aeern

Another SklrnUti~rhe Federate Again I
(touted!
Spencer Hancock, Esq., of Chesterfield county, |
who returned to this city yesterday evening from i
Fairfax C. H., gives us the following narration of
a skirmish which took place about 0 o’clock on
Monday evening, a few miles from that locality.
Mr. H. was himself a participant in the affair, and
his statement may therefore be relied on ;
On Sunday morning, Col. Gregg received orders
to go out on a reconnoitering expedition. He
took with him six hundred South Carolinians, a
company of Kemper’s artillery, aud two compa
nies of cavalry, including forty-five of Captaiu
Ball’s Chester company and Capt. Terry’s compa
ny, of Bedford. He started at eight o’clock A. M.
‘They remained Sunday night at a place called
Dranesville. On Monday morning Colonel Gregg,
with a detachment of cavalry, went forty-five
miles down to the Potomac river to make obser
vations. They remained in the vicinity about an
hour, and distinctly saw tents aud men on the
Maryland side. They judged there were about
300 men encamped at that point.
Col. Gregg afterwards returned to Drauesville,
formed his command into column and marched
down the road to a place called Vienna. Here
they remained only long enough to tear up the
track of the Alexandria, Loudon and Hampshire
Railroad and destroy a water tank—probably
about au hour—after which they started to return
to Dranesville. The troops had proceeded about
a half a mile when the whistle of a locomotive was
heard in the distance, whereupon Col. Gregg or
dered a halt, wheeled his column, and inarched
rapidly back to Vienna. They had scarcely time
to place two cannon in position when a tram of
cars, consisting of six flats aud a baggage car,
came slowly around the curve, pushed by a loco
motive. Each flat was crowded with aruied men,
whose bayonets glistened in the evening sun, and
gave our meu an impression that a severe contest
was at hand. This, however, was not realized, as
the result will show.
Just as the train was about to stop, the artille
ry fired a well directed shot from one of their
guns, which raked the Hessians fore and aft.—
Oousternation and dismay were distinctly visible,
and, after another fire, the enemy were seen has
tily leaving the cars and taking to the woods.—
The engineer of the train was smart enough to
uucouple the locomotive and take the back track
for Alexandria, leaviug the entire train to be cap
tured bv our troops. Col. Gregg’s infantry aud
the cavalry pursued the tugitives a short distauce
through the woods, but was uuable to overtake
them. A few of the party exhibited some brave
ry, and endeavored, by shouts, to rally their flying
comrades, but it was impossible. They then
turned and discharged their pieces at our men
without effect. Six of the enemy were left dead
upon the ground.
It is believed that this invadiug parly consisted
of Regulars and Michigan Volunteers. Col. Gregg
had received information that a detachment of
Federalists came to Vicuna ou Sunday evening,
and brought timber to repair the bridge, and that
they stated while there that they would come on
Monday with meu enough to whip aud hang every
d—d Secessionist in the neighborhood. They made
a slight mistake iu their calculations.
About twelve rounds were fired by our artille
ry, but tbe enemy scattered after the second.
Neither the infantry nor cavalry fired a shot.
Our troops burnt the cars aud captured a con
siderable quantityUof carpenter’s tools, blankets,
and other baggage, together with about 20 mus
kets and a number of pistols. Mr. Hancock brings
with him as trophies a U. S. soldier’s cap, a have
lock thoroughly saturated with blood, aud a
bayonet.
The fire of our artillerists was n.ost effective.
One man was found with his hand shot complete
ly oil’; another with his arm shot ofT at the shoul
der, aud other ghastly objects proved the destruc
tive effect of the shots. It is thought by some
that one of the balls broke the couplings of the
locomotive; at all events, the engine was taken
away from the scene of action with all possible
speed.
After the engagement, Col. Gregg retired with
his command to Fairfax C. ll. —Richmond Dis

IntcrcMting Northern Accounts of tlie
Battle at Bethel Church.
The Baltimore Sun of Saturday contains news
from Fortress Monroe to 0 o’clock Friday morn
ing, by the steamer Georgiana.
[ Correspondence of the Associated Pcess,]
Fortress Monroe, June 13—6 P, M.—Capt. H.
E. Davis, son ot Judge Davis, Lt. Chas. H. Sea
man and I)r. Martin, of Duryea’s Regiment, yes
terday entered the enemy’s lines with a flag of
truce and went to within half a mile of Yorktown.
They saw a formidable battery at Great Bethel,
but were not permitted to examine the works,
and from there to Yorktown were conducted by
bridle paths. They were escorted by a Sergeant
and four troopers, who met them at New market
Bridge, three miles from Hampton, to whicli point
the Secession pickets now extend.
“They were courteously treated by Col. J. B.
Magruder, who commanded at Great Bethel.—
There was a large encampment of Cavalry at
Yorktown, and the place was being strongly forti
fied. There are also batteries between Great Beth
el and Yorktown. The Confederates report one
killed and live wounded, and expressed a hope
that Gen. Pierce may be retained in command.—
Major Winthrop was shot by a Louisiana rifle
man while leading a vigorous charge. He wus
buried by the Confederates, who greatly praised
his heroism. I have just brought his cup and
spurs from the Zouave came.
Two Zouaves died prisoners. The Confede
rates represented that they had other prisoners’
whom they were willing to exchange. Captain
Phillips has to-day visited the fortress with a flag
of truce in reference to the same. There was an
alarm last night. The whole garrison turned out.
Gen. Butler and Quartermaster Tallmadge have
this evening gone to Newport News.
Roconnoissances have been made from Fortress
Monroe and Newport News.
It was reported that Jefferson Davis was in
Richmond last week.
The weather continues hot. The thermometer
stood yesterday at i>2 in the shade.
ACCOUNT BV A ZOUAVE WHO WAS THERE.
One of the Zouaves from New York, who parti
cipated in the fight at Great Bethel, thus describes
what he saw :
The centre and right of the skirmishers kept
moviug on until they got to where they supposed
they were on the enemy’s fiauk, but very much to
their sui prise, for no one dreamed of the strength
of the position, they found another and a bigger
one in the rear, and ot course nothing to do but
the best they could under the circumstances, and
pop off just as many men as showed their heads
above the embankment.
In tbe meantime the left section of the skir
mishers, hearing Gilpatrick’sJ “Skirmishers,* ad
vance,” kept constantly moving forword in an
open field, and while in the act of making a fur
ther advance of about 600 feet to the front and up
to a very suspicious and harmless looking lance,
bouse, cow-shed and barn, the curtain fell and a
masked battery of mountain howitzers was ex
posed to full view, aud they did not lose any time
in opening. Grape and canister fell like driving
hail right into our faces, and men dropped light
and left. We gave them one round iu return and
retreated fifteen paces, aud throwing ourselves
flat on our faces, loaded and tired us fast as possi
ble. until, finding there was no reserve, no muin
body, no nothing to fall hack on, we got out from
under this awful tire and got back to the two field
pieces on our right. This did not take a great
while, for our men only fired five or six rounds,
and then only when they could sight a man as he
jumped above the embankment aud tired, ami be
fore he could jump hack again.
In the meantime, our reginieut, under Col.
Duryea’s special and personal direction, had
marched to position on the right, and opened a
heavy lire, and Col. Townsend’s regiment, 3d
Albany, had come up, marched in column direct
ly in front of the enemy’s batteries, and at point
blank range got handsomely into position on the
left and opened tire. They flunked the masked
batteries on the left and silenced them, and then
formed in line of battle front to the enemy’s bat
teries. All these movements took time, and in
the meantime our battery, commanded and served
by Lieut. Greble, 2d regiment U. S. Artillery,
kept up u galling and successful fire upon the
enemy’s batteries, and although grape, shell, can
ister and solid shot rained all around and about
him, he was as quiet and gentle, both iu manner
and speech, as if he had been in a lady’s drawing
room. J never saw greater cooluess in my life.
I cannot say as much for some of those under
his command. There were men with him who
emphatically stood by their guns, but as the ene
my kept improving their range and danger in
creased so many left that there was not enough
men of those whose duty it was to be there.
About 12 o’clock Col. Townsend’s regiment
made a movement to the left, und then coming to
the front we made a general charge of the two
regiments right up to and in the face of their bat
teries, and drove them from their first entrench
ments. And here the enemy must have suffered
great loss, for the men of both regiments, mad
dened by opposition, fairly sprung on their en
-1 trenchments, but were stopped by the second with
their heavy guns. This was straightforward,
hand-to-band fighting, and at the point of the
bayonet; but their position was too strong, al
though I think after we had once got it we could
have kept it, had we had any support at all. (V'e
were obliged to retire.
From the Baltimore Sun of Monday we copy
the following:
The steamers Adelaide, Capt. Cannon, and Gcor
giana, Capt. Pierson, arrived on Saturday and
yesterday morning, from Old Point Comfort.—
They bring Jintelligence that a movement was to
have been made on Yorktown on Saturday night
by a large body of troops, under command of Ma
jor General Butler, and it was expected that they
would reach it by Sunday morning, if there was
no opposition by the Confederate forces.
There are Dow one hundred sick and wounded
in tbe hospital at Old Point, and deaths]among the
wounded frequently occur. A young man named
Cady, from Philadelphia, wounded at Great Beth
el, died on Thursday. Ilis mother went down in
the Adelaide, but he was dead before she saw him.
He was an only child.
Miss liix, w.th three nurses, went to Did Point
on the Adelaide, but she returned and has gone
to Washington to attend to some wounded in that
city. Quite a number of persons have reached
Fortress Monroe to see their wounded friends.
The U. 8. sloop-of war Vandalia urrived at Did
Point o Friday and exchanged salutes with the
flag-ship Cumberland. The S. R. Spaulding also
arrived from Boston, with a large quantity of am
munition.
The big gun “Union” was safelv taken to
Fortress Monroe, and was carefully guarded by
seventy men aud a force of artillery officers.
All visitors to Fortress Monroe conti ,tie to be
sworn to support the Government by the Provost
Marshal.
Tbe result of tbe expedition towards Yorktown
is looked for with a good deal of interest, and it
” x P ecttd ‘bat a desperate battle will be fought
Tbe Confederate jorces are thought to be about
ten thousand Btrong, and they have good fortifies
tlODS.
A number of soldiers, Zouaves and others, came
up on tbe Georgians on Saturday. Most of them
are on the sick list.
The captain of a sailing vessel which was lying
n J^\ mpton on * he after the battle of Grea t
Batbel, has arrived at this port. He deports that
a large number of killed and wounded were ferried

I valu'c of’“will'll “I 0 What wili be tbe market
tr tof °! h . 4 . ,D ‘bese times. We pretend not
to be competent to instruct in the matter. Yet
one thing we know to be true-tbat with an un
precedented crop, both as to quantity and quality,
! there is a limited demand both at borne and
| a • ,nder these circumstances it would be
I well lor all who have a surplus to dispose of, and
can get %1 per bushel, whether in cash or towards
the payment of debts, to sell promptly. Those
wbo can get $1 per bushel m Confederate .bonds
or treasury notes will do well to sell. These
bonds will draw S per cent, interest, and if the
war continues will, in a year or two, be the most
reliable and safe currency we can possfbly have.
The Confederate Government has proposed to
buy produce with Confederate bonds, and the
members of Congress in the several districts are
appointed to act as agents in the matter. They
wifi not take the wheat except in the form of flour,
as, in the language of one of their agents, “ the
Government has something else to do Besides go
ing to mill.” But this will not be objected to.
For we can retain the bran and seconds, and still
get a remunerating price for the flour. We shall
thus be able to sustain our Government, benefit 1
ourselves and feed our patriotic soldiers, upon
whose strong arms and brave hearts we confi
dently reiy to beat back the infernal Goths and
Vandals who seek to subjugate aud destroy us.—
