COLUMBUS. MONDAY. JULY 15,ISO!. The Confederate Armory, The Charleston Mercury has the following suggestions: “Lot our Confederate Congress look to the propriety of establishing an armory at the Deep River Coal Mine region of North t’arolina. Here is the proper point for such an establishment. Tho Virginia manufactures of aimp, from Harper's Ferry, have been transfer red lo North Carolina. A better region could not be chosen. Spartansburg in South Carolina comes next. IRr want of coal i3 her chief de ficiency but to compensate this, she has abund stneo of cheap wood fuel, and the railroad pene trates almost to the mines.

Nothing now to-day from the Seat of War.— The Vandals, however, are hovering around our hays and coasts, and yet they have not tho eour ugo to land. It is believed that General Johnson Ims got between Patterson and the Potomac, so that the latter must either surrender or fight. In the lat ter case although he has 23,090 mon to our 13, « 000, wo will crush them, as General Beauregard told President Davis, a few days ago, into cal cined powder. After that great victory, of which we aro momentarily awaiting the nows, Lincoln's maudlin call for 400,009 men and 400,090,000 dollars will become a subject of derision and mockery to the whole civilized world. Richmond, owing to tho great scientific skill and military experience of the gentlemen who aro entrusted with its defence, is, I believe, and I have examined every fortification,ombemkraeat .V e., able to resist an army of £OO,OOO men.

Esto perpetua. VIRGINIA CORRESPONDENCE. Exchange Hotel, Richmond, July 8. Dear Times . —What a row, what a rumpus and a riotiug there is around me; it seems al most impossible to collect one thought hero in the rotunda of the Exchange, and I would scarce ly make the effort if it was not that I have re markable powers of concentration, this quality combined with the lucidity of mind produced by the almost total abstinenco consequent upon the bill of faro of tbo “Table d’Hote," induces me to try the hazardous adventure of giving you a few dots by the way, with the hope of dispell ing the ennui that hangs iiko a cloud around Columbus, in the absence of her hundreds of C4ay Cavaliers who are off cn the war path. Lin coln's message creates no excitement here, it i g regarded as another of the numerous blunders of iho Black Republican administration. If any thing were wanting to prove the wisdom of our separation, we have it in the diabolical announce ment, that State rights is a myth, and that the Government of the United States is a consolida ted despotism, with no limit to its power but the will of a majority, as unprincipled as they are, coarse and fanatical. I think that with Lincoln tor Prosiuent, it is truly a representative Gov ernment, for he is, from all that we can see and hear, a perfect reflex of the low, vulgar, madden ed mob, by whose votes he has been elevated to power— s4oo,ooo,ooo and 400,000 men is the whole ho calls for. Where the money is to com 0 from wi.l puzzle his financial officers! Where the men are to come from will test tho reckless ness of his myrmidons, and if they answer to the call, Virginia will have becatomba for monu ments, and the South will make a boundary of blood, that for all future ages will keep beyond iier .borders the descendants of the vandal ho. des who now threaten to invade her coil. The eyes of our bravea litorally flash with entbueias tic joy at tho foreshadowed march of their un wieldy arxaie*. Richmond is alive wfth wen at arms. I went this afternoon to see Hampton'* Legion on dress parade, it was an exciting spec tacle, to sos so many gallant Carolinians armed for the fray, impatient for the combat, and as ready to meet tho foo as was ever bridegroom to rush to the arms of fci3 blushing bride. As I saw the Cavalry companies dash across tho plain, their gallantatee la snuffing from afar the scent of the battle-field, and the men incited to glorious deeds, by the memories of Carolina's battle-fields, I could not but think if ever that Palmetto Ban ner goe3 down in the dust “ there'll be somebody hurt,” but enough of matters military, new for something amusing. I strolled into the baiber-sbep this morning to get my usual shave, where in the chair next to mo a young soldier with a beardless but dow ny cheek, seated himself to be shaved. The bar ber, a 1 rcnchman, not teeing any beard and knowing but ono other purpose for which his services could be required, said, “Sair, shall I coute zo hair ? ’ Y.hat, said the soldier? An English Barber interpeted. He wishes to know if you want your hair cut. Soldier-—cut, the devil, no, it has been so short that I have not been able to get hold of it in a week. * : I want tc be shaven,” and really, although his head looked as if the hair had all been driven ir, his beard looked aa if his mother did'nt know it was out— and to my mind it was not very remarkable that Monsieur Johnny Crapeau was at a loss to know what service he coukl render. Board heio is $2 50 per day, and ice-watcris sold in the Hotel by little negro water-carriers at 5 cents a glass, that aint funny—a nice place for tho Capitol, is’etit. REMUS. The at Kelley’s Island.. .Interestiog Particulars.., Death of Capt. Richard Ashby. From Mr. H. G. Pickett, a member of Capt. Ashby’s company, wo havo the following particu lars of tho fight, which can be relied on as strictly correct: On Tuesday morning last, Col. Turner Ashby left the camp at Col. George Washington's in Hampshire county, five miles north of Romney, on a scouting expedition, with eleven men under hia command, and proceeded in the direction of Patterson’s Creek Depot. Near the same hour, Capt. Dick Ashby left his quarters on Patterson’s Creek, some ten miles from Patterson’s Creek Depot, with nineteen men under his command, aud proceeded in the direction of tha Depot.— On roaching the railroad opposite Kelley’e Island, ho and vided iii* oompany into two parties, taking seven men with himself, and proceeded up the railroad, whilst the other twelve, under Dr femplemaud, of Fauquier, proceeded iu the op posite direction. Boon alter this division of ins torces, Capt. Ashby’s party was decoyed by some treacherous scoundrel, a citizen of the country, into an ambush, near a deep out in the turn of the railroad, where ho fouud himself completely surrounded by what would have been considered by any, Bave‘ a second Leonidas, a completely overwhelming force. They were immediately charged upon by this lawless band of Aooiiiion out throws, when Capt. Ashby gave the order to retreat, with the command,* ana after retreating a short distance, ( thus deceiving tho imps) to suddenly wheel to the right, and give tho scoun drels a raking fire they passed their lines.— This wheel'was mad®, but a short distance from an unseen culvert or cow stop upon tho railroad, but one man, J H. Biackmore, succeeded in making the turn, the rest were all, with ono ex ception, precipi ated into the culvert, where of course they were unhorsed, but strange to say, unhurt, save a few brushes. Tho brave and chivalrous enemy of course seized upon this moment to charge upon them wiih revolvers swords bayonets, and other side arms. Then it was that Dick Ashby had a hand to hand encoun ter with three men, killing tho corporal and badly if not fatally wounding tho other two. Whilst engaged with these two men, he received a blow from an unseen hand that felled him to the earth, where ho was left for dead by his men, who, after his fall, made good their escape and returned to camp. E. D Kmchelo, R. B. Templeton and T. H. Paine lost their horses in this engagement. Dr. Templemand's party were also surrounded by a largely superior force and«compelled to fall back, but of the engagment wo could not learn the particulars, althougn it is known that but one of his party, Mr. A. Ganson, was wounded, and he but slightly, the ball having first passed through his horse and then striking him on the knee. . Near one o'clock Col. Turner Ashby arrived with his command of twelve men, and being in formed by a woman that thero had been a fight below, the advance towards Eelley’3 Island, where the enemy were secreted in what numbers he could not toll, as they were behind the drift wood, bushes, do., with which the island which is a half mile in length, was covered. See ing his brother's horse quietly grazing without a rider, and fearing the fate that had befallen the noble rider he ordered his raen t.o cross to the island, he taking the lead. Whilst crossing they were exposed to the raking fire of the enemy, who took deliberate aim at them from behind the drift wood piled upon this upper end of tho island. At tho command to fire, not less than forty balls were discharged at them; but so far ali of our boys escaped unhurt, although Cos. Ashby, H. C. Ku3t and Granville S. Smith had their norsos killed under them. Immediately upon landing, Col. Ashby gave the command to beat the bushes and drive out tho miserable cowards. He, flushing a covey of four, killed two who had the temerity to offer a fight, and taking toe other two on the wing as they lied, after having discharged the contents of their revolvers at him. One of them, S3 he fell before him, begged him not to ride over him, and Ashby turned aside, telling him that he had done him all the harm he desired. Another, af ter having exhausted his revolver in attempting to kill the Colonel, and whilgt fleeing for dear life, entreated him not to kill him; but Turner’s reply was, “Sir, I mourn the necessity, but I spare no invader of tho soil of Virginia," and down went the poor wretch before his unerring aim. T. B. Smith, after having been knocked down by tho butt of a rifle arose and shot his man. The poor, miserable creature, whilst wel tering is his blood, asked Smith if ho was a Christian, who replied, “I trust so;'* “then,” said the man, “Tor God’s sake, bring me a drink of water." This Smith hastened to get from the river close by, but whilst in the very act of at tempting to drink he fell back and expired. Near the close of the engagement, whilst nobly con tending against fcaiful odds, Dr. Aufaunton, of Baltimore, and Oswold Foley, of Fauquier, fell mortally wounded. John Ladd, of Missouri, also reoeived a eevero wound in tho arm, near the shoulder, breaking the bone. JIo will, however, recover. At this point Col. Ashby, in a loud voice, gave an order for the reserve to bo brought up, (but as they were fifteen miles off and not expected, tboy did not come,) to dismount and charge with the bowie-knife, scarcely wero tho words utter ed boioro a general stampede took place, leaving as near as we could understand, from seventeen to twenty of their dead behind, and tho island loft in the immediate possession of the immortal little band of nine. Cos!. Ashby, (not knowing the fate of his brother,) and his command, im mediately returned to campfor reinforcement, and again returned to bring away the bodies of the two noble patriots who had lallen in the fight.— Upon his return he found in a culvert, where be had been left for dead, Capt. Diok. Everything of any value, even his spurs, had been stripped off his person and carried away by the thieves. Ho was found to bo badly wounded by a sabre cut over each eye, a thrust in the bowels, a deep out in ho arm immediately above the elbow, in juring tho bone near the joint; hewasal6o shot .nroagh the palm of one hand, and two fingers of the otbor mutilated by the passage of a ball of rather an inconvenient size. As may be euppo sed, when found he was muoh exhausted, but he soon rallied at the eight of his friends, and was taken to the house, of Mr. Wagoner near by. where he remained for some time. He was thea removed to the house of Col George Washing ton, where he can lack nothirgthat kindness can bestow. He will, as 60on as he can stand the. trip, be removed to this place, where every house will be thrown open to him, and every tongue will bid him welcome. Thus ended the great fight at Kelley’s Island, where the two Ashby’s, witn seventeen med, com pletely routed seventy U. fc. Dragoons. _ I’.

Aetios of Southern Presbyterim Savannah, July Wtb, 1301. At a meeting of Session of the First Presbyte rian Church of Savannah, held cn the Bth inst., the following minute was adopted: Whereas, The General Assembly of the Pres byterian Church in the United States of Ameri ca, during its late session of Philadelphia, adop ted the following resolution, by a large majority, to-wit: Resolved, That in the judgment of this Assem bly, it is the duty of the members and churches under its care, to do all in their power to pro mote and perpetuate the integrity of the United States, and to strengthen, uphold, and encour age tho Federal Government in the just exercise of all functions under our noble Constitution. And whereas, this resolution was adopted in the face of the fact that our own State, in the exereiso of its sovereign rights, had formally se ceded from the Union, and united with others in forming the government of “The Confederate States of America," thereby absolving us, by the laws of God and man, from all allegiance to the United States Government—therefore, be it Resolved, That the Session ot this Church sol emnly, and in the fear of dod, do hereby re pudiate gaid action of the General Assembly, as necessitating an act of treason, on our part, to wards our own government—as upholding the government of the United States, in waging a war mo3t wicked, unjust and iniquitous war against our rights, personal, social and political, and as binding upon our conscience, as a duty, that which we feel to be a ein against both God and man. Resolved, That in the opinion of Session of this Church, the time has fully come when the Churches within the Southern Confederacy should dissolve their connection with the General As sembly of the United States, and form a General Assembly of our own .* and, with a view to this consummation, we respectfully and earnestly re quest the Presbytery of Georgia to which we be long, to take the necessary action in the premis es, at as early a day as possible.

To day 1 bad tho exquisite pleasure of seeing a Zouave prisoner. He, with three others, were out scouting. Tho three esca ped, and ho was taken.

Our merchants and manufacturers would do well to cultivate their private means oi communica tion with the Southern States, which are solely the cotton producers ; for upon the action that may be taken by the Confederate Government depends the question of the future cotton supply, in default of tho ability of the North to maintain an efficint blockade, which alone could claim to be recognised, according to the law of nations. It is a great drawback at the present moment that nearly all tho American intelligence that reaches Europe through the Northern States.

Lamar, of this (19th Mississippi) Regiment, was, yesterday, about noon, while standing in front of his tent, suddenly stricken aown by a severe attack of vertigo, attended by partial paralysis of the left side. The weather has been extremely warm and sultry here < u ring the past two weeks, and Col. Lamar has been all the while devoting 1 irnself with the utmost assiduity to the arduous duties of bis po sition, in the field, as also to hard study in his tent, night and day. Hence this painful stroke, which oast a gloom over thß whole regiment.— He was visited at his tent during the evening by the Pres.dent and his lady, and numerous sympathising friends, who showed him many kind attentions. He suffered a good deal last night, but I am happy to say that to-day he is much better. He is now, I think, rapidly re covering from the paralysis of hia side, and will doubtless soon be out of danger. lie was remov ed early this morning to the Spottswood Hotel, where he has every possibls attention. Cav-Piso ths Climax. —Tho following para graph is taken from the New York Times of June 25th: When Georgia was electing delegates to its Secession Convention, one entire company of the Macon Yolunteere—a regiment existing for years in the city of Macon—voted unanimously aga nst the secession candidate. When the war commenced this company waa sent to Pensacola and made to work side by side with negroes.— They were mostly men of Northern birth. This company is yet at Pensacola, virtually prisoners, while the remainder of the regiment is at Nor folk. Surely the culmination of mendacity has now been reached. Dsadlt Implement op Wap.— The Reloigh State Journal thus describes the model of a com pound revolver, invented’by Mr. T. F. Christman, of Wilson, N. C.: It consists of twelves rows of guns, twelve in each, to each of which a revolver containing seven balls is attached, and revolving on an axis in one minute. At each revolution 144 bullets are fired - , and, in seven revolution?, occupying the space of one minute, 1,008 bullets are fired ; all of whioh can be perfomed by a sensible lad of ten or twelve years, and one intelligent man to point the guns, whioh he ia enabled to do with unerring oortainty, by meais fa contrivance whioh need not here be explained. Mr. Christman brought hia invention to Raleigh to submit it to the Governor ‘for examination, and to make a present of if to his native State, provided its utility be established by competent judges. _ Boas it Pay?—Under this heading, the New York Times, of the Bth inst. has the following: The engagements with the Fat tcries at Aquia Creek, Pig’s Point, Sewell’s Point, and the other recently at Mathias' Point, have had no other practical effect than disabling numbers of our sailors, and the injury to a greater or less extent of two of our war steamers. The enemy still oooupies both the positions apparently uninjur ®d. It is said that the attack on Pigg’e Point was for the purpose of "feeling the position of the enemy.” It waa, to any the least of it an expensive manipulation.
