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 | 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. j Nor ia,discipline neglected, and the officers with 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 ■ geon and porjoises, leaving the garrison intent ou 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.

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 ing a course which would be of great benefit to 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 ern States could turn out an army of close upon a million of men, well trained irt arms. Their wliqlo policy seemed to be to stand on ihe defen sive. He had reason to believe that they never had, and bad not, tbe temotest idea of attacking Washington ; but they would defend, he believed, their States and their homes to tlie Very utmost. He deplored the coarse which had been adopt ed by the Southern States of issuing letters of marque w hich would let loose upon the ocean men of the worst description, aud he feared that these men would be something worse than privateers— that, when opportunity suited, they would be little hcirer than pirates, and that they would not. pay that respect which ought to bo paid to the neut .tl flag, or to the lives which ought to be 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. Fin In Am s (’ami*.— Some of the hordes of A. J.. have fun in them, and seem to be living “in clover.’ Read the following Washington letter : I am living luxuriously, at present, on the top of a very respectable fence, and fare sumptuously on three granite biscuit a day, and a glass of wa ter weakened with brandy. A high private in the -~d Regiment has promised to U?t me have one of his square pocket handkerchiefs for a sheet the first rainy night, and I never go to bed on my comfortable w indow brush without thinking how many poor creatures there are in this world who have to sleep wu hair muttrasses and feather beds all their lives. Before the great rush of Fire Zou aves and the rest of the menagerie commenced, I boarded exclusively ou a front stoop rn Pensylva niU aveirue aud used to slumber, regardless of ex pense, in a well conducted ash box ; but the mili tary monopolize all such accommodations now, and I give way for the sake of my country.

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 !

Munford, Secretary of the Commonwealth. 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 the South, your cotton and linen rag.-..

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.

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 Richmond Dispatch has a well arranged system of correspondence from ail points of inter est in the States, from which we take the follow ing items : 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 LYNCHBURG. Lynchburg, June 17. —The greatest activity which we have yet witnessed iu military matters has been displayed here during the past three or four days.

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 Confederates are only acting out their plan to re treat toward the center of Virginia and draw the Federals troops after them.

Washington, June H.—The Government has been seriously embarrassed by the publication of plans of campaigns by newspapers, enabling the Rebels to frustrate them. To obviate this, the editors of the principal cities met at Washington to relieve the Government from further embar rassment.

Items of intelligence in regard to the Georgia and Alabama troops sta tioned there, are frequently given, which we get from do other source. The issue of Monday last is ” scissorable.” We clip the following, entitled “ 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.

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 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.

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. from tin A'. O. Picayune, loth. 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. ■[Correspondence of the Colvmhve Time*. \ 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.

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 patch YMh. 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 “j,?? 11 , 111 ’ Susquehana fishing boats, but he conld not ascertain the number. or Wheat. There is fTow extensive in- 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.— Rome Courier. Decline in the Revenge.— The foreigu impor tations at New York continue to dwindle, and the Government revenue from ‘hat source has fallen to a very trifling figure. The customs receipts at that port on Friday last, aDd the aggregate for the week, did not, it is stated, exceed 1100,000, CITATIONS ~~~ FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION. applied to me for permanent letters of A rtlrfitn!°^ €r 1&r J B estate of Robert Htoderson se,, i?£ ApWjmnUpn on the This ib to cite all and singular tlu county, dec and: Robert Henderson, eu to it i n a Credlt £ rß4lll(l next of kin of in the time prescribed bylaw a W** r at offlce with- Jr* &2tzgtt±sj£fa 10th Msy , May. 14,1861. * • TATOM, Ordinary. us said county, for ('ourt of dJfflSmry of SsrSh A.
