Camp Dp.pia.m e, Harper’s Fert, 1 j June 14th, IBS]. | | S ‘* • 1 received your letter ol tbe 21 at alt., while | at Richmond. Since the date of its reception, I Lave beeo so constantly engaged in the duties of the service I have nndertaken, that I have found lo time which could be devoted to an acknowl- ; edgemeot of your communication. I now write amidst tbe burry ami coufusion of the camp, be- j about to march from this point, we trust to • meet the enemy. I have little time and less inclination to reply in detail to tbe insolent missive you have thought } proper to publish in my absence. Respect, how ever, for toe good opinion ot the people of Geor i gia, induces roe, in a tew words, to set right my 1 conduct, which you have taken so much pains to j asperse, and to Correct the mis-statements and i false imputations with which your letter abounds, j | \ou say that I have “ commenced my military I j career by setting a* defiance the orders of the of- j I ticer upon whom the Constitution of my State has : j conferred the right to command me.” I am not j ware that you have any such right, unless I were ; ! actually enlisted in the service of the .State of j Georgia, in a contingency which, under the Con- j ! stitQiion, would give the State the right to raise j and maintain troops. ! I commence my military career, as you are j j pipped to term it, by accepting service under the j j flag ot the Confederate States, and I recognize j not you, but the President of th~ Confederate State* j i at the officer upon whom the Constitution (to which j Georgia is apart?) “has conferred the right to j | coin man and me.” it is true that I tendered, under j instructions from my company, their services to j i the Confederate States through you in the first in- J J stance ; this, however, was simply because the ■ President had adopted that mode of obtaining j troops as a matter of public convenience, and not because there ever ttfas any Constitution or law’ j which required him to appeal to the .State Execu- ! tives; still leas is theru any ground for yOOr as- j nertion that the rights of the State are violated j by the President receiving troops directly, with- j out the intervention of the Governors. You labor, and have constantly labored, under j the erroneous impression that you are the State , j ‘f Georgia. I beg leave to protest against this conclusion, in which, I assure you, I can never concur. By the Constitution of the Confederate I States, to which Georgia has agreed, the Confede rate Government is alone chargeable with ques j lions of peace and war, and has the exclusive j r if?ht, except in case of invasion, to raise and I maintain armies. The Congress, and not the j Governors of States, are entrusted with the pow | er to raise the armies ; and as the Constitution is broad and unqualified n this grant of power, the Congress is unrestricted in the mode in which it I shall be exercised. The President of the Con federate States is the Commander-in-Chiet of these armies, thus raised, for a-common cause; i and the Governors of States have not, so far as i 1 am aware, any jurisdiction or power over this I subject, except so far as patriot sm may induce j them to co-operate with the General Government , in times of great emergency and danger. Your I conclusion, therefore, that “the act of Congress | under which I go, is a palpable encroachment | upon the rights of the States,” does not in the I least disturb me. Neither upon reason or authori ty do I consider the opinion of much value. I l think most people will prefer the judgment of I the Confederate Congress and the President ot | the Confederate States, who gave the act their [ deliberate sanction. i Yor have fallen into unother error upon this subject. You say “that I proceeded to the Con i federate Congress, ot whicn I am a member, aud I that a bill was passed, you suppose, chiefly by my j influence, which authorizes the Presideut to re i leive the military forces of the States over the head and independent of State authority.” You further pay that, “under this act I was accepted I into service, w ithout your consent, and permitted j to leave Savannah and go to Virginiu.” I assure I you, in passing that I shall never think it neces sary to obtain your cousent to enter the service of my country. God forbid that I should ever fall so low. But to ypur charge. I know not to what act von refer, as the one under which 1 was accepted into service; but 1 will inform you that the act un dor which I serve is entitled, “An Act to raise ad ditional forces to serve during the war.” This act, to the best of mv remembrance, con tains no allusion to State authority, nor does it allude in any part to the Govenors of States. It is simply an act authorizing tbe President to ac cept the services of volunteers for the war, and to appoint their field officers; and in these two respects alone, it differs from other acts under which volunteers have been accepted. This bill was introduced into Congress by the lion. Mr. Wigfall, of Texas without any consultation with me, referred to the Military Committee, of which I was chairman, perfected by it, aud passed by the Congress. It met the approval of the most distinguished leaders of the State Rights school in the Congress, and was regarded by Congress as the best means to raise an efficient army, so absolutely required by the wicked invasion set on foot by the North. Mr. Wright, of Georgia, introduced a bill, which does authofize the [’resident, without calling upon tbe Governors of the States, to accept the services of volunteers at the times be may pre scribe; but with this bill l had no connection, nor am I in service under its terms, nor bad l any agency iu procuring its introductiOn.or enactment. You go on to .say “that I must be presumed to be the leading spirit in procuring the passage of this bill, and that I was tbe first to avail myself of its benefits by accepting a high command under it.” You remark, “that it is said, that I aui to have a Colonel's commission.” Now’, sir, the facts are, that under the former bill, by which twelve mouths’ volunteers were raised for the war, the President had as much power to accept them directly as he has under this act, for tbe war; aud it is a mere matter of discretion with him uhder both acts, whether he will or will not use the intervention of State Executives; and ygfc, i wb’le stepping out of the way, to stabPme in tne back, you seem crimiually ignoraut of what you ought to know. You have also insinuated, in this charge and ; elsewhere in your letter, that I have been misled by motives of personal ambition. The attribu- j l tion of low motives of conduct to others is moat j i frequently the result of lougfamiliarity with such i i principles of actiou. it .s dangerous for any man | i to attribute motives, lest he fall tinder the con- j ; demnatiou of ** bearing false witness against his J j neighbor.’ In relation to myself, I desire to say | but little. I prefer to be judged by my action*.— j It is 7>ot irut, that I availed myself of the benetits 1 I ot the act of Congress, to which von refer, by j i seeking a high command under it. I offered ser j i vice and was accepted as Captain of my company, j • without &uy pledge, directly or indirectly, that I j was to have another commission. My present I | office of Colonel oi this Regiment, has been con- | furred upon me through the voluntary confidence t j of the President, and through the wish, as I ! | have reason to believe, of every officer and pri- i ’ vale under my command. 1 have desired no ! office, preferring, for ui.aUT reasous, to remain at i the head of uy company, between which aud my self there has existed a deep-seated attachment, j and it was only by their consent that I agreed to : command the Regiment. My reasons for enter- ! ing the service are very simple : I had labored as i much as *wy man in Georgia to effect the seces- 1 I sion of the Bute ; I had pledged myself to meet I all the consequences of secession. 1 am bound. ’ ! therefore, in honor, uud still more strongly by i duly, to be among the foremost in accepting the j i bloodv consequences which seem to threaten us. My life can be as well spared as any other man’s, and I am willing aud ready to devote it. Yon ‘ , taunt me with desertiug my home atid the defense ! of my fireside, •* to serve the common cause in a more pleasaut summer climate.” I wish you i were here to witness the realities of this service I you deem so pleasant. It would cure you, I I think of some of your malicious propeusities. You tauut aits also, with having imposed upon 1 1 others the duty of defending the post which I have deserted; aud yet when you penned this vou knew that you bad steadily refused to call the volunteer troops of Savannah into service of i any kind ; and that vou had called **tnany of your bravest youDg meu from other parts of the State to fill our places” and defeud our homes, while we were permuted to rest in inglorious ease. 1 The volunteer troops of Savannah are now in ser- vice, not through you, but by the direct order of j the t om mauder- in-Chief of the Confederate forces. 1 All that you say upon this subject u Jesuitical, de signed to subserve a purpose rather than narrate the truth. I have tbe's*uie right to judge that you have a* to the probability of an attack upon Sav annah. There is scarcely a seaboard citj r along the Atlantic coast that has not it* reprisentatjveh . here iu Virginia. Why should Savannah be an ; exemption* Surely oue company could be spared ; a! east, to show that her heart beat true to the couimou cause, and that her youth were ready to : court danger upon the very frontiers of the war. ! Such a spirit is not what you have characterized I it. It is probably above your comprehension, but , the generous aud noble hearted es my native State i will Knew how to appreciate it. And now as to my arms. I did not ask you to arm <ur to equip me I had already received from the late Government of the United States, through yon, arms and equipments, which cost the State of Georgia nothing. They were delivered to me , and you took my bond for their safe keeping, un- I ! lead destroyed in the public sen ice. \ou have j . threatened me with the penalty of the bond. Take it, if you can get it. That is your remedy. If I • have been wrong m taking the arms away from 1 Georgia, I atn the trespasser, and of course re j sponsible. I think the power you claim to disarm • companies once armed and under bonds, at your j will, is. to say the least of it. doubtful As I have j already said, in a former letter, I would not make • this issue if I could find any way to avoid it. I ; • would rather yield, than have a controversy with i ; any man where ts e public interests are involved, j But, situated as 1 was, I prefer disobedience, if • vou please, rather than to jeopard the honor and < the safety of one hundred men confided to my care. . . You seem to ihiafc I am arrogant in claiming ‘ our humble share in representing the State of Georgia on the field of action. \ou say that you ; are not aware of the State authority by which I am called to represent the State of Georgia in Virginia. You make here again, your common ’ error, of supposing list v _. are Me Sate or Geor. >w—a mistake in which Ido not participate, iou will not be permitted to alienate from us the es teem and affection of those we leave behind, and j whom we lore so dearly. lam sorry you bare | undertaken so ungracious a task. You sav. “ that, at present, 1 am beyond the reach of State authority, and State hues, so far as I lam concerned, are obliterated. How .oDg this : mar remain so,” you say, “ depends upon the de -1 velopmenta of the future.’ 1 trust, if God spares 1 my life, I shall >=et my foot again on the sou of J Georgia, and be well assured that 1 no more .ear j to meet my enemies at home than I now do to meet the enemies of my country abroad. With due respect. I have the bt>nor to be Your most obedient, Fbaxos S. Bartow. Lake PoKauMiir’ Blockaded. Mr. X A Mitchell, of New urle-in*, who leA this city yes terday on his return, received a dispatch from the book keeper of his house, informing him not to return by way of Mobile. The lake was blockaded and the i.-oats between that city and New Orleans were stopped. We al o learn that another dis patch was received by a gentleman here, request ing that letters for New Orleans be sent by way of Memphifi, for the c ame reasons lOolumtm £. j ■ Special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.] From Waftliington. ashisgton, June 20.—Gen McDowell visited Gen. Scott to-day with plans and propositions to capture the enemy immediately. Gen. Scott an swered, no sir! The Ohio camp is supposed to be directly men aced. The enemy’s picket flags are visible from Gen. Schenck’* headquarters. The Navy Department know nothing of the landtng of our troops at Savannah, or elsewhere ■ on the Southern coast. The contract for six hundred of the Griffin rifle i ; guns was awarded to-day. Gen. Meigs strongly i ! recommended it. Washington, June 21.— There are from 25,000 I I to 3©,060 troops on the Virginia side, within ten j in ilea of the Potomac. Un tins side there aie from j 30,000 to 40,000 ready to cross at a moment’s no- j tice. Should the enemy advance from Fairfax [ they will meet not only tLe number of troops first ’ named, but a flank movement will be made by a force at least 10,000 strong, stationed on the river, j six miles above the city.* The Federal army will : be fully 30,000 men, white that of the Rebels can not be more than or 25,000 at the farthest, j The National Republican of this morniug says j it is probable that Congress will place at the dis posal of the President for colonization of such of | our black people as desire to emigrate to Hayti, j and that the contraband slaves now held by the j Federal troops will be included in this measure. j The Baltimore Sun endeavors to encourage the j rebels by representing that the North is sick of | tbe war. | Gen. Scott is in better health than he has en j joyed for a long time. It has been intimated by the President himself that h~ will assure the country in his message of ] a speedy termination of the war ; that he will de- | dare his purpose of accomplishing this by the | most energetic measures, appealing to Congress j and the country for support in his policy. % | [Special, to the New York Post.] This morning the rebels were concentrating a large force at Fairfax Court House. Eveay move ment indicates an attack on our lines within a ! short time. It is believed that Beauregard can ‘ concentrate 00,000 troops at any given point with- i in a week. Undoubtedly he has a large force at i uis command, and is not improbable that he will j be forced to make a speedy advance movement to- ; day. Advices Lave been received from the camp of the Connecticut troops, near Vienna, Va. No ! new movements had takeu place. Our troops in j occupation of Vienha are fnlly ‘prepared for any i attack. j A strict examination of the causes of the lamen table affair at Vienna has resulted in the exclu ; pat ion o, the engineer of the train which took up j the Ohia troops.

FROM FORTRESS MONROE. i Fortress Monroe, June 20. —Within a few hours | there has been rumors of a large secession force advancing upon Fortress Monroe from tbe di rection of Yorktown. Reconnoisauce were there fore made towards Great Bethel this morning under the direction of Capt. Smith, U. S. A. Max Webber’s regiment of German Turners, with a company of regulars, in charge of two pieces of artillery, left Hampton six hours ago. and have not yet been heard from. Our picket guards, near Little Bethel were yesterday driven in by the rebels. It is said the enemy are erecting strong mask ed batteries opposite the Rip Raps since the suc cessful experience with the Sawyer gun. Impor tant events are expected at that place. From ten to twenty Virginians come in daily to take oath of allegiance. FROM NEW YORK. New York, June 20.—The Texan troops, num bering 459 men, now’ at Fort Hamilton, in conse quence of having pledged themselves not to take arms against the Confederate States, have peti tioned the War Department for their discharge. New York, June 21.—We learn on excellent authority that the Bavaria,recently arrived brought 170 cases of arras—many of the boxes double the usual size. The nnmber of arms is estimated at between 8,000 and 10,000 stand. The Right ot’ Withdrawal. It was telegraphed to us, the other day, that Virginia had adopted the Constitution of the Con federate States, “reserving to herself the right to secede ou t he happening of certain contingencies.” We have since been curious to know what were the contingencies specified in this proviso, aud we have awaited with interest the arrival of the Rich mond papers with information on this point.— They have now been received, and we find that no specific contingencies are named, but that Vir ginia reserves the right of withdraw al whatever her own judgement determines that such a step is demanded by her interests or safety. Here is the ordinance as we find it in the Richmond Whig of the 20th : “An Ordinance adopting the Constitution of the Confederate States. “We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, in Convention assembled, do, in their name and be half, assent to, ratify, and ordain the Constitution of the Confederate Sta'es of America, adopted by the Congress of the Confederate States of America on the 11th of March, 1861, and w e do hereby m;ike known to all whom it may concern, that the said Constitution is binding upon the people of tbis Commonwealth. “But this Constitution is ratified and adopted by Virginia with the distinct understanding, on her part, that she expressly reserves to herself the right, through a convention representing her peo ple in their sovereign character, to repeal and annul this ordinance, and to resume all the pow ers hereby granted to the Confederate Govern ment, whenever they shall, in her judgment, have been perverted to her injury or oppression.” This, we presume, will raise in the Congress the issue for which some of our exchanges have been clamorous— a distinct recognition or repu diation of the right of withdrawal at pleasure ; for we take it for granted that Virginia can only he a member of the Confederacy on a perfect equality with each and every other State—that she cannot make reservations of power not re tained by all of them. It is a perplexing ques tion —one of complex difficulties aud perhaps of serious .future import—aud we do not care just now to express an opinion upon it. Indeed we regard it as unfortunate that Virginia lias raised this issue at this time, and its presentation sug gests doubts whether a permanent constitution should have been formed uatil the States have settled their relations with other powers. We doubt not, however, that it cau be so disposed of as not to raise for the present any distracting issue among a brotherhood of States whose first i and highest object should be the expulsion of ; a foreign invader.— Columbus Enquirer. An Ohio Black Republican, serving in the three months’ volunteers, writes thus to his sister. Similar complaints are made by the Pennsylva nians. Parkersburg, June 12. There is the best tobacco here that is in the world, but we have uot one cent to buy it. We look more like a troop es ragamuffins than United States soldiers —dirty, ragged and don’t care a ! darn. We are about the color of a saddle, the sun has burnt us brown—our little caps are no ! protection from its rays ; but we are full of the devil and anxious for a brush ; we have nothing j to lose but dirty rags. | It would not do for Gov. Dennison or General ! Carrington to come round here—they would get a • bullet through their rascally brains at short no ’ tice. Can’t some of you Ohio folks raise a com i pany and go up to Columbus and rid the earth of ! suefi infernal scoundrels aud villains V I would ( rather shoot Deunison than Jeff. Davis—the State i of Ohio is plenty able to clothe and feed us aud ! give ns tents to sleep m. But we have to crowd , in some shed or sleep under trees, just because i that chief of all rascals (Dennison) keeps the ; money back to put in his own pocket, and that of 1 Ins friends. I hope he will get ins just deserts, aud that will be a halter around his neck. Proclaim him a scoundrel, villain and traitor—he is hired by Jeff. Davis to expose and starve us to death, llell will be bis portion if he don’t repent soon. And now, after such treatment, he asks us to en i list for three years ! I would not do it for three months, after such treatment—this is the wrong way to get me to enlist. The following is au extract from a private letter of a very respectable gentleman : Manassas Junction, June 20, We are much behind hand here, notwithstand ing all that Beauregard can do. To 15,000 men we have onlv twelve pieces of artillery; insuffi cient ammunition ; guns without bayonets; whole companies without cap or cartridge boxes ortents. Still, we are about to advance. The Brigades have been formed, aud the orders forward have been j issued to-day. You may expect news very short ly. Thi* enemy outnumbers us, and are superior ill all the materials of war, and I am uot, there fore, one of those who are sanguine of immediate Southern success. The refusal of men offering for one year at Montgomery was unfortunate, and preparation dilatory. Promptitude was our policy. Unreadi ness may make a long war. 50,000 troops here to-day would make quick work of the war. Half that number here four weeks ago, would have put us in Baltimore by this time. We must do the best we can under the circumstances; and with so many South Carolinians in the front, four or five regiments on the ground, and more coming, l think we shall damage the enemy somewhat, even though the fight go against us. We are well entrenched, but the heavy guns i have just come—on ship’s carnages at that—and onlv one i9 mounted. Even that is not ready for work. So we go. If the Lord remain not with ’ us we shall fare badly on the day of the great fight, now not far distaut. ibgixiancs. [Charleston Mercury. Another “Criminal Blunder.”— The Fhiladel- j phia North American —one of the leading military ; journals of the United States—thus treats of the affair at Vienna • It is not a little irritating to find that our troops in Virginia have fallen into another of those as sassin-planned traps in which the chivalry of Se cession rejoice. After the folly and disaster at | Bethel, it is amazing that any commander should 1 venture on untried ground, with four or five com- j paaies in a position so helpless as that of being packed in cars, aud being drawn slowly through deep cuts of a railroad, in a country occupied by j traitors. The great antecedent folly of giving the rebels all the gnus aud all the ammunition gather- . ed at Norfolk, should “have sufficed of itself. That was calamity enough for one war, but it seems j that as a sort of corollary of that most favorable proposition, our small commanders now arrange the bodies of troops sent out so as to offer unre- sisting targets to these same guns. And when fired on by a masked battery, tliere seemed to be I no effort made to get out oi’tbe w ay, still less to ! take the battery.

Insanity or Queen VicroßiA.-Tbe Gazette de France says that “Dr. fcrmlein has been sent for I to London to attend a consultation of French and German physicians on the state of the Queen s 1 health, which, it seems, is such as to give rise to , uneasiness. ‘ The following mysterious paragraph appears | under the head of “latest news,” in the new jour . nal, Le Temps : •We learn from Berlin that the Prince and Princess Royal, wub the little Prince William, are going to pay a visit to London about the mid dle of July. It"appears that the object of their journey is to secure a salutary emotion for Queen Victoria—to change the current of her thoughts bv their society, the rumors that ciiculat* about her Majesty’s condition are truly alarming, and awaken the most sincere Jsympathy here. Her Majesty is only 42 years of age; her Dodiiv health is perfectly good, and it may be reasonably hoped that, under proper treatment, the moral malady X with which she is afflicted will soon disappear.” AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY .MORNING, JULY 3. 1861. f i Correspondence of the Sere York Herald-] W hat Our Koemies Say. Washington, June 17.— The revelations in re gard to the plans of Gen. Scott, made within the fast few days bv the Old Hero himself to several prominent public men, indicate his intention to make a campaign in Eastern Virginia that will be 1 short and effective, and at the same time involve the least possible bloodshed. The mo erneDts of the various corps and armee that ! i have already begun, aud are about beginning, the j ’ work of crushing out rebellion in the Old Domra- ( I ion, appear sluggish to the uninitiated; but as i sood as the cordou of armies that have been form- i | ingduring the last three weeks aroundthe insurrec tionary portions of Virginia shall be completed, j the Federal troops will rapidly press upon Rich raond from the West, North, East, and south.— ; The Union column will quickly move towards the ! hot-bed of secession, and by their overwhelming j numbers and superior appointments, force the i rebels into a steady retreat. Such at .least are | the expectations of the Commander-in chief, whose I plans are based upon a more intimate knowledge ; of the strength and condition of the enemy than j is generally supposed. He knows positively that . Jefferson Davis cannot possibly bring more than fifty thousand men into tbe field ; that it will be impracticable for the rebel chief to concentrate twenty-five thousand men at any one point with out exposing others; that the Commissariat, Transportation and Medical Departments of the insurgents are in a deplorable condition—in short that the odds are so great as to render the result of the campaign anything but doubtful. Six more Ohio regiments have been ordered into Western Virginiu from Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati. They will immediately proceed to clean the valley of the Kanawha river of scces j sionists. j According to tbe programme agreed upon by j the Government aud the leaders of the Union j movementin Western Virginia, eight regiments : of Union Volunteers will be immediately organi | zed in that portion of the Old Dominion, and j armed and equipped by the Federal authorities. I As soon as they will have attained au effective condition, the troops from the other States com | posing the army of protection, will commence I operations south of the Kanawha river, with a ! view of cutting off the railroad communication ! between Eastern Virginia and Tennessee, j I have received intelligence this evening from ! Richmond direct. It is of the utmost importance. The news of the concentration of immense bodies ot troops for the defense of Washington, the re duction of Harper’s Ferrv and for an attack on Manassas Junction, had been received at Rich mond, and excited some alarm, and even some apprehension as to the ultimate safety of Rich mond. It was known at Richmond, however, that Gen. Beauregard was in constant communication with Gen. Johnston (having even been at Har per’s Ferry in person on Tuesday) and that he had discretionary’ powers to order an evacuation of that post if he deemed it advisable. It was understood at Richmond that the forces of Geu. Johnston (in the event of an evacuation) would join those of Gen. Beauregurd, at Mauussas, and act either defensively or offensively against Wash ington, according to the nature of the intelligence brought to Gen. Beauregard by his spies at Wash ington. The views of Jeff. Davis have undergone some modification during the last ten days, and siuce he has seen the immense preparations for offen sive operatiens, aud the vast number of disciplin ed troops that exist in Virginia. It is understood now, that if Gen. Beauregard telepraphs to him that he is goiug to a ake an attack ou Washington with the 55,000 troops at his disposal, that Jeff, himself will raliy around him with as many more from Richmond, Fredericksburg and Culpepper, and inarch himself to his assistance. Jeff, has been giving his attention for three or four days past to the condition of affairs in the western jiart of the State, where he has dispatch ed the redoubtable Henry A. Wise, who has been created Major General in the rebel army. Gen. Wise is ordered to make his headquarters at Cov ington, in Alleghany county, the terminus of the Virginia Central Railroad, for the present, and to rally around him all the Southern forces in that part of the State, including, if necessary, the 25,- 000 troops at Lynchburg. He is instructed to throw out scouts to give no tice of the approach of Gen. McClellan’s Ohio troops from the West, and to meet and defeat him before he can cross the mountains.

The following is the.Trihune’s account of the Vienna disaster—killed, 8; wounded, 7 : [Special Dispatch to the Nesv York Tribune] Washington, June 18.—The following are the facts of tbe affair at Vienna : General Schenck started yesterday afternoon with the Ist Ohio regi ment, to protect the Loudoun and Hampshire railroad. Guards were stationed at tbe various bridges on the route, so that when the tnain reached Vienna, only about 180 men remained. Before the cars had stopped, fire was opened from a small battery and two field pieces upon a bill. Some of the Ohio men were killed at once, and others after they had disembarked from the train. At the first alarm the engine-driver, iu affright, detached all hut one car, and hastened back, leav ing the men to look after themselves. After a few discharges, the rebel force, estima ted at above 25,000, consisting of Infantry, artille ry, and cavalry, retired without attempting to pursue their advantage. They were all South Carolinians. Our position was re-iuforced during the night, and is now held by the two Ohio regiments, two from Conuscticut, a part of the 69th New York, a body of United States cavalry, and others. The bodies of the Ohio killed, and some of the wounded, were brought up to the camp at Alex andria this morning. The conduot of the Ohio men is spoken of with great praise by the officers at Alexandria. Less than 200 of them were opposed to the rebel force, and yet tlie temper they displayed was such as to prevent any attempt to take them prisoners. Our account of the affair at Vienna, which sub stantially agreed with the official report of Gen. Schenck, was suppressed in the telegraph office here, by order of Gen. Scott. Some other reports were so exaggerated as to necessitate the extinc tion of all. Someone much to blame is generally blamed for reconnoitering in a train of cars. Had the enemy been wary, they might, by throwing 600 men in his rear, have captured the whole de tachment. Had he ascertained the presence of the battery and rebel forces by a suitable recon noissance, other regiments could have been or dered to their rear, and the whole have been se cured. The belief to-night is that the forces which at tacked the train have retired, carrying with them the battery; that Vienna has been peaceably oc cupied oy the National troops, who are advancing to if they have not reached Fairfax Court-House The cut in which the Ist Ohio Regiment, under the command of Gen.JSchenck, was caught yes terday, commences a mile east of Vienna. The tire upon the regiment we believe to have been from small arms in ambuscade, on both sides of the cut, as well as from the battery immediately in front. It is claimed by some of the troops engaged that three of the enemy were killed bv the return fire of Gen. Schenck s command. The canuan ball which killed one of our soldiers first struck his musket, bending it double aud taking off bis arm. When the news reached Arlington House, four large wagons were immediately dispatched to bring off the killed and wounded. The killed were buried to-day near the camp of the Ist Regiment, with the usual military honors. Falls Church, Fairfax Cos., Ya., June IS.— When Gen. Scheuck reached this point yesterday, by rail, with the Ohio Regiment of Col. McCook, that stumbled on the Disunionists’ concealed bat tery near Vienna, they were duly notified that between a thousand and eleven hundred South Carolina troops were stationed there. A consnl tation was held on the cars, and some of the offi cers urged that discretion was the better part of valor, while others maintained that they could whip them anyhow. It was determined to proceed, and when the train got in sight of the battery, of the existence of which no one on the train knew anything, the brakes where instantly put down hard to stop as quickly as possible. That was at the curve just east of Vienna. It was too late, however, for a shot came booming along that severed the con nection of the locomotive with the train. The battery tired seven shots in all, killing, I believe, five of our men, and wounding more, before Col. McCook ordered his men to seek cover in the woods, which was all that could be done under the circumstances at that time. The whole regiment left Alexandria upon the expedition, which was designed to leave a strong guard upon the railroad alt the way to Vienna.— y the lime the train arrived at Falls Church all but three companies had been so posted, those three being all that were fired on by the battery. A message was sent by the locomotive back for the companies left below, who hurried up to the relief of those in the woods, and the advance of the relief got on the ground just as the attacked parties had formed in the woods. All the train, consisting of wood cars and two passenger cars were completely demolished by 1 the Jire of the battery, the locomotive and tender . only escaping.

We learn from Mansfield’s quarters that a large force has moved forward to occupy Vienna. Suspected Vessels. —On Sunday last two small i sailing craft, with crews, in all numbering six I men, were found in Nassau Inlet, near where the ; I company of Capt. Hardee is stationed. It seems ! the vessels came there without knowing there . was any body of troops in the vicinity. Suspi [ cion was awakened on the part of the company that these vessels were either communicating with a blockading vessel off shore, to furnish fish and ; j other supplies from the land, or giving them in- ! ’ formation relative to the defensive arrangements ot the coast. A brig which has been for some ! days in sight off St. John’s Bar, and supposed to | be’ the Berry, is the vessel with which it is j thought the craft had intercourse. It is stated ; that on the day when the notice of the company | i was specially attracted to them, the brig was nearer thau’usual to the shore, aud that the craft, i appareutlr from a signal from the ship, ran up ! sail, and were about to proceed outward. They were thereupon brought to by order of Lieut. Mickler, in command of the company during the absence ot Capt. Hardee, by firing a shot across ; the bow of one of them. A demand was then made for a surrender, which was at once obeyed, ihe two craft were towed up to Jacksonville on Mondav night by Capt. Willey, the crews being | on board, and in’ charge of twenty men of Har- j j dee s companv. A Court of Inquiry will be convened to examine 1 i t he case ; and in the meantime the Colonel com- ■ ; maDding this district has ordered the vessels to be dropped down to the command of Capt. Dan- ! j 8 sow miles below town, with whom also all ‘ the men are in custody. Two of the six men arc said to be Portuguese. 1 the others Americans. They have papers for their vessels, dated from Charleston some time I hack, and claim to hail from there ; and also that ! thev are lotallv innocent of the charge. [jathonnlU (Ila.) Mirror. 15th. Desibe of Soldiers for Water on the Bat tle Field —A Yankee participator in the fight at Great Bethel gives the following idea of the risk a soldier will run to obtain water upon the tbatt,e ! field : “Some of us have had very narrow chances for , life. In the course of the fight, several of us ran across a road aloog which the camion of the enemy were constancy playing, in order to get water - j (I find, by the wav, that on the battle field a man j will risk his life, without hesitation, for water ) Having got it, we were waiting to rush back again ; dodging the bal's in order t do so.

It ia generally understood that your soil will not be molested bv the enemy daring the prevalence of the malaria; though there are many who think some of your sea islands that are more or less isolated and unprotected, should be occupied,there being healthy spotsalong the coast of both your State and Georgia. You , speak o? the blockade beiug ineffectual, and, there fore, will net be recognized by foreign Govern ments. The powers at Washington are alive to J this imporiHuce, and say, so soon as the foreign , squadron returns from the Mediterranean, they will close every iulet, bay and creek along the coast, three thousand uiilet, in extent. 1 At present, the orders ore to close Charleston with two heavy war steamers and Savannah with I one—then run guard steamers continually from one pont to the other. From Fortress Monroe to Wilmington, North Carol.ua, ia the next similar move, aud soon. The Gulf is now considered pretty effectually guarded, but in the fall, the point will swarm with United States vessels of va rious classes. Aou well know that this plan of I blockade would have been carried out immediate ly on Lincoln’s assuming the office of Presideut, but it was the policy to permit both Great Bri tain and France to have their full supply of Cot ton from the Cotton ports, a supply that will last them until the first of November next, when they will be able to receive au extra quantity from oth er countries, and give them time to stimulate the production of Cotton iu Ind;a, Africa, *kc., by bounties and high prices. auu uigu prices. Lord Lyons was luformed, as early as the fourth of March, that his Government should take time aud foster the cotton culture; heuce, you see, meetings have been held in Loudon, Manchester and other important places iu England, with this view. lam informed on good authority that the ■production ot cotton is increasing extensively in all other countries. Now you see the object the Administration had in not suspending the export of your cotton crop before. It was to keep Eng land : nd i* ranee quiet, while they hoped by suc cessful campaigning they would defeat the revo lution, “a combination of traitors,” aud kill off the secesEiou movement, consolidate the Government, aud by the first of November restore peace, re open the ports, make the “United Slates” a united people once more. I but report the views enter tained in high places, not my own—for I had ac cepted secession as a fixed fact after the action of Geo~gi/.. Revolutions do uot go backward; had this policy been pursued immediately, I believe there would have been a reconstruction of our country, and prosperity have covered the State to-day, instead of tire and sword, destructian of property and life, the anguish of the widow and the orphan. The power of the great cities of the North is based on tbeir trade aud an unrestricted com merce ; without these uecessi-ies, their wealth and glory departs; thus New York aud Philadel phia are suffering fearfully at this moment. The rich man of yesterday has become poverty strick en, and the increase of distress in families once in easy circumstances, is becoming fearful, while vice and prostitution abound in ten-fold num bers—virtue vs. poverty. Yet with all this suffer ing, which “ he who ruus may read,” there is no giving way in public sentiment as to tbe necessity of prosecuting this awful war. Here aud there 1 find . a true man who has tho boldness to depre cate hostilities and coercion. The Day Book and tbe Daily News are the only papers that boldly declare tbeir sentiments ; but, alas, tbe fornter is weak, very weak, and the latter has uo influ once iu proper places, and now*, abandoned by the City Council’s patronage, and unpopular iu principles, it is likely to die. Its uoble inde pendence should command the notice of your people; but live or die the Daily News, Benjamin Wood, its editor, I trust will live to battle against corruption anc despotism in the United States Congress of the 4th of July. The Republican including all the others, impress the iguo rant people with the belief that the South are tbe aggressors, and there will be uo change in public sentiment until convinced of error. A few more victories on your side, similar to j that of Bethel Church, “will setthe people think mg.” This important subject of money disturbs ; the financiers of tbe Government. A “United States Bank,” with a capital of SIUO,OUO,OOO, is ‘ urged, and as the subscribers to the last loan know ‘ tbeir fate if auy more bonds are offered, it is not I improbable that Liucolu at tbeir suggestion will \ recommend such au institution to be chartered immediately, and the sub treasury system aban doned duriug the war. I returned from Washing ton a few days ago; everything was quiet there. Forty thousand soldiers guard the District. The War Office is open day aud night, aud reporters from all parts of your Confederacy come iu and go out. Your entire movements and thoughts are held “up as in a mirror.” I was surprised at Scott’s activity aud eodurauce of fatigue. I al ways thought the old man had no heart iu his work, that )fc17,000 alone stimulated him; but I fibd his hatred for Jeff. Davis is tne main spring that keeps him goiug; but his temper does not improve, and the deteat at Bethel gave him an attack of gout. Ido not really think the Administration cares whether Scott continues iu office or uot. He is rude even to Chase, w r ho is oue of the most determined, energetic aud valuable officers in the Government. W. H.

From Norfolk.—A correspondent of the Rich mond Visjialc/t, under date of Norfolk, June 24th, says: A flag presentation took place ou Saturday at Sewell’s Point. Miss Billisoly, of Portsmouth, was the presenter—au office she filled most accep tably. Her age imparted some degree of bright ness to the occasion, being in the neighborhood of sweet sixteen. This was handsomely acknowl edged by the City Light Guards, Capt. Colquitt, who were the happy recipients. The affair drew together a large number of the fair sex of both cities, who expressed themselves highly pleased with the joyousness of the occasion. It is reported that the ludiaus in North Caro lina beg the privilege to scalp all the Lincoln men they kill. They will probably be in our city iu a few days, from what 1 can learu. They will be the terror of the North. They have au inveterate hatred against our enemies, uud will find their re venge in their blood. The soldiers at Old Point arc said to he dying like sheep—that each day almost witnesses num bers of dead bodies carried away for interment.— We can scarcely express a doubt that such ■ the cose, when we remember their condition; for some of them are represented even by some of their own number as in a state of nudity and hun ger truly revolting. Carbines, which the Lincoln scoundrels in their flight threw overboard, are being recovered and made almost as good as new. Numbers of our citizens are in possession of them. They are rep resented as very accurate and throw a hall with great velocity, and are sold for over a little over six dollars a piece. This is uot one quarter the value of the piece, but is made a charge by those who get them, as a light compensation. From Richmond. —The Charleston Mercury has the following dispatch, dated Richmond, June 26 ; Despatches received here seem to confirm the successes of the Missouri State forces at Hood ville, and the capture of Lyon, with his Abolition troops. The Hessian lines have, to-day, been extended full ten miles this side of Alexandria. The North ern aud Southern outposts are now in close prox imity. The Right Rev.

Platt, of this city, , fully awnre of tbe wants of th 6 times, are manu facturing many uew and usetul articles, which are destined to be popular iu our camps, and indeed altogether indispensable. Among the novelties we have lately seen, is a j spacious and beautiful tent, manufactured for Cap tain C. A. Platt, of the Clinch Rifles, and for ! warded to him at Pensacola a short time since. The tent itself is uot, perhaps, a novelty in con struction, but its appointments certainly are. It is as nicely and conveniently furnished as a first class dwelling ; and so pleased is Capt. P. with it, that he writes iu the most enthusiastic terms con cerning it, and ordering several for other officers in the camp. One article of furniture iu this tent is a “camp cot,” which can be rolled up or spread out when ever desired, and capable of being made, perhaps, like the invention spoken of by Goldsmith, >vhich was “ Contrived a double debt to pay, A bed by night, a chest of drawers* by day.” Either as a lounge or bed (and we know not to how many other uses it may be applied,) its con venience and utility are unquestioned. Such a thing as a shelf is a rarity in camp, but the Messrs. Platt have made au affair which re sembles a “ what-not,” that can be furnished with any quantity of shelves. Capt. Platt’s canvass house is also supplied with hooks, upon which is hung clothing, and a good many other little conveniences, which must be deemed luxurious by the hard-faring soldier These tents and their equipments w-li be eagerly sought for when their merits become generally known. Au army camp chest is among the useful inven tions of thia enterprising firm. It is intended for a mess of six persous, and constructed to contain a complete set of cooking apparatus for that num ber of men, ingeniously fitted into several com partments, and cau be converted iuto a baudsome table in a moment by raising lids which are un locked from the sides. The one we saw was strongly aud neatly made of black walnut. Tbese gentlemen are making one to present to President Davis, and we veuture to predict that it will “til his eye” to a nicety. No sort of chest or box can be better fitted for tbe purposes required, than this “ camp chest.” Cftmp Btools in great quautities are, made at this establishment; and those that would partic ularly a lazy man’s faucy> have backs to them, to bio put up or let down at pleasure. The above are a few of the usefal camp articles our neighbors, the Messrs Platt, are gstting up for the convenience of “ our army in the field.”— They deserve au unlimited supply of cash orders to encourage them in their efforts, aud we hope they may get them. Newßpapeudom. —The Columbua Enquirer says: All the papers of Savannah aud Augusta have ad vanced the price of subscription for their Dailies to *B. “The truth*is, the times are peculiarly bard on newspapers. It is true that their subscription lists have been increased since the war commenc ed, but there is uot much clear profit iu uewspa per subscriptions at preseut prices, and the pros tration of busiuess has seriously curtailed tbeir advertising patronage. Iu addition to this, tbe Daily papers have to increase largely tbeir ex peuditure for Telegraphic intelligence ; tbe pub lie auxiety fir the earliest news demands it, and the newspapers have to ‘bear the brunt’ though tbe increase of their subscription lists ui3y not re’ imburse the outlay, aud tbeir advertising is ‘lnu suully short. The people should remember, while their anxiety for curly information is gratnled, that a generous support is due to the Daily ue ws paper press, to whose euterprise and liberality they are indebted for the facilities.” The Price of Newspapers. The Macon Telegraph, referring to the proposed increase of the rates of subscription to the jour nals of this city and Savannah, makes the follow ing true and sensible observation. “Several of these papers assign still further reasons for the change in price—among them that the dailies of Richmond, Charleston, Mem phis, Mobile and New Orleans usually charge ten dollurs, and, indeed, that is the old standing price m most of the cities iu America, while it is an undoubted fact that in none of them is a daily produced with greater relative expense than in Savannah and Augusta. Most unquestionably, eight dollars per annum is a low price for the large and expensive dailies of Savannah and Au gusta, printed as we know they are, at large ex pense-maintaining an expensive editorial corps and furnished with the latest news without re gard to cost. “ From eighteen to twenty thousand dollars per annum is a very moderate estimate of the cost of producing two thousand copies of those jour nals, which, at eight dollars per copy, not allow ing for exchange's, waste and loss, would bring them $16,000. The balance of cost and profits must then come out of the advertising which or dinarily will allow a handsome margin for profits, but now, as these papers state, is altogether in sufficient for that purpose. Few people, unac quainted with the business, have an adequate idea of the great expense attending a daily paper—an expense which cannot be modified or abated—but is inexorable, and mußt be met every week with the cash. We hold, then, that these publishers are assuming nothing but what is reasonable and just.

Aikin of this district, formerly of Vermont and the Secretary of tne National Democratic Par ty, has proposed to the War Department to raise a regiment forthwith, of Northern Democrats for active service during tbe war, and thus testify their apprreiation of Mr. Lincoln’s efforts to main taiu the G©vernment. Ohas. H. Foster announces himself as an uncon ditional Union man from the first district ofXorth Carolina.

The rebels have made two propositions of peace to tbe Administration. Cue contemplates the complete,recognition of the Southern Confederacy w’ith a treaty of commerce and a subsidy of $50,-* 000 for giving us protection against foreign and domestic enemies. The other, which is still un der consideration, consents to a suspension of hos tilities, a laying down of arms, and tbe extension of the line of 36 deg. SO min. to the Pacific. William D. Gallagher, of Kentucky, lately con fidential clerk of the Secretary of the Treasury, has been appointed Collector of the port of New Orleaus, aud leaves Washington for Cairo to-mor row. Ue will accompany our army in its progress dow’n the Mississippi, aud there*can bo uo doubt that his appointment aud departure for this point indicates an advance at the earliest practicable moment upon Memphis. Tbis will not be for some weeks, but will move southwardly with the flag, restoring the commercial relations of the Uuion, and sealing up all lines of transportation for the rebels as he proceeds. It may not be generally known that tbe collection district of New Orleans embraces the valleys of the Missis sippi and Ohio, including their tributaries, aud reaching as far as Pittsburgh.

A gentleman just arrived having beeu detained at Mftna sas a while, says the troops there are in a perfect frenzy oi’excitement, aud all with whom he conversed, *spoke freely of the mediated attack upon Washington, asserting triumphantly that they would be in Washington before Saturday night.

Offensive movements on the part of the Gov ernment will doubtless bo deferred some time, owing to a change of programme by the rebel chiefs. Tbe grand assault upon Washingtou, about which they blustered, appears to be aban doued ou accouut of its involving their certain de feat. They now propose to act entirelv on the defensive, but although they are concentrating their force in this neighborhood, it is not pro bable that they will hazard a general engagement anywhere this side of Ricbraoud. It s asserted that Wilson’s Zouaves have goue to*Fort Pickeus, but it is quite likely they have goue to Charleston. Several other regiments about leaving the North will probably go there also.

There is uo truth in it whatever. On the con trary, tbe Administration ha\e received assur ances that tbe rebels intend prosecutiug tbe war with the utmost vigor, and if possible overt irow tbe Government and destroy the Republic, even though they perish in the ruins. They feel that the two Governments cannot exist In such close proximity, or even on the same continent. No official account of tbe Great Bethel affair b as yet been made public, and it is thought here that, our loss is nmch larger than has beeu supposed. It is known that just as tho order to retreat was given the rebels were leaving their outer eutrenchments, fearing they would be car ried by 6torm. Emboldened by the withdrawal of our forces, they resumed their positions and continued tbeir fire. [SpediaJ to the ,V. >’. Ibst. ] It is rumored here that Benj.
