Melancsoly.—Yesterday, sty# the Atlanta
fimthern Confederacy of the 21*1, .Mr, W. B.
Wood, A. J. Slatting?, and F. llnar, members or
the Now nan Guards passed through Atlanta
with the remains of Mr. B. 1C Meyer, en route
to jfewaau, his lato heme, for interment. The
circumstances of bis death urs thoso: It is said
that while on guard at staw’s Gap, ia Virginia,
on Sunday night last, r memberofthe Quitman
Guards, named Stokes, attempted to pass the
Lne. Young Mayor demanded the pa*3>wortL-
Stokes refused to give jj, and insisted >.n passing,
which Meyer sternly, yet polite!;; reused.—
Stokes returned to his own tout, deliberately
baded his gun, ai. I returned and c oily shot the
sentinel dead. Jiia company, or soma members
of it, had on the previous aftorno. n fought a
barrel of whiskey, hence this horrible murder.
We siuoereiy sympathize with young Meyer’?
parents and friends. Below we give the letter of

It becomes my painful duty, as Commander of

Jaithful discharge of his duty, a.i one of my .■■fn

bled to pick up ia reference to the affair, your

ing bi duty. IwU see thatjuiiicc is done the
offender.
I know this news will ©ome with crushing ef
fect upon your feeling, but console yourselves
with the reflection that he fell at his post, and

the high approval of his officers. I saw bin:
soon after he was wounded; his sufferings were

forward through your paper, a pis£ so rai*e xuo
nay for oar Government without n tax or indi
vidual subscription. In that communication 1
requested that if any body cpuld bring forward
a better one, to do so, as it was high lime, from
the “lights before us,” to lookahead and provide
for the “sinews of war.” .Since the apptara .ee j
of that article, I ree quite a number of the South- !
era press hat c taken . . ;
lion, and who Advocate the plan Suggested.- (
Among them, it affords me great pleasure to find
my friend, the lLu. .L a Forsyth, of Mobil*
In his paper of the Hkh iaxt., will be found a
very able editorial upon the subject which head;,
this communication. Mr. Forsyth tako? the cor
rect view of the plan, and I hope our immedi
ate Representative, Hon. Martin J. Crawford,
will examine it carefully, and bring the plan be
fore cur next Congre?.-. for ad >j* im. i r . ..e, I
am utterly opposed to a heavy tax ht-ieg laid ou
our people at this time. It will not fail to produce
discontent and trouble. If a tax is imposed at
all, (which I sincerely deprecate) it should bo
as light an possible; and to make ii so, every
effort should bo made to get our people to taka the
Governments per cent bonds. If the proper ef
fort is made I believe a vory lajge amount of
Bank notes can be raised in this way. But it is
evident Government cannot get all to invent in
these Bond 4 even at 8 per cent interest, while a
tax will reach every one. Now, if G veroiuent
van raise seventy-five million?-^1 .on millions
being the amount required for twelve months) by
these individual subscriptions, it blight do to
raise the other twenfy-flvo millions by a tax. 1
am fearful, however, that even tbia amouut would
produce trouble; while it is doubtful if the seven
fity-ve millions can be secured roran under tho
most extraordinary effort. Jr fair like the
preeent one, ice muit tv ‘jovrtneU l-t tie cinum
etanree eurroued.iK/ ♦<•. The w:<i*t Gi.vcmmt u *
often, under pressing circumstances, have been
compelled to depart temporarily from first princi
ples. I admit that a tax on each SIOO worth
>f projrarfy which every one <wn#, Is the cor
reel principle, an J in ordinary times I would ad
vocate its inflexible rule, as it dispenses equal
and exact justice to all, but at this time ond in
our present condition, I urn confident that u tax
of twenty-five millions i? not good policy. The
plan proposed by mo and so ably allocated by
Mr. Forsyth and others, is tbo only one which
presents itself to my mind, calculated to secure
the object without producing anxiety or trouble.
That plan is to sell the while of tbe incoming
crop of cotton to the Government for Treasu
ry Notes of suitable denominations. These
notes to be deposited in the Banks and Agencies
in all the cities where cotton is sold, and to he
paid out by them f r it. Tho Government to
have the cotton bought by buyers under oath on
commission, say cents per bale at it* mar
ket value, stored and shipped to the sea ports,
consigned to its Factors or Custom House Collec
tors, and to be disposed of as Government may
deem bast. Congress to provide fur the re
demption of the notes after tbe war is closed,
by taxation or sale of the cotton, gradual y per
annum. In this way the planters got :i ?afo cur
rency for tbeir cotton at its market value. The
business of the country in every department is
relieved of tightness, every trade ia 1 calling is
stimulated, gloom and dependency averted, pro
gress, improvement and cheers ;!n inaugura
ted, while our hard worked President aud Cabi
net will have the means to keep in the Cold tbe
requisite force needed by them, ar.d with the aid
of our Heavenly Father, be enabled to w.rk out
for us and themselves a safe deliverance now utul
forever from Yankee domination.

VIRGINIA CORRESPONDENCE.
.Sawai.l’s Ponrr, Va., June 19,J86L
bear Tint*; Tho desire of some members cf
tb* Battalion to Lave the “animal** dissected,
and examined in the Navy Yard hero, will delay,
for a few days, the arrival of the xhe’l, whoso
tending was advertised in a previous letter. I
have been informed by en experience*] naval offi
cer, that tho cost of each ne of these shells is
aboat sl4, and that r.f an ordinary ‘ur 11 inch
shell, SSO to $.*J5. The profligate waste of these
valuable materials by the enemy, in theinreccnt
engagements is quite opposed to the mean par
simony, which has ever been the inveterate ebar
aeteristi.2 of mercenary Yinkeedom. Among
the galling mortifications whieh are, Just now,
draping the Northern press in indignation and
grief, and beneath which Northern patriotism
wilts, a consciousness of tho pecuniary loss atten
ding this novel generosity must be prominent.
Another gratuity, and a heavier installment
than that of Sunday, was tendered to us from the
Rip Raps, yesterdsy morning. Mis* Augusta
J. Evans attracted the fat!**’ fro r.f the mo-,.
mini moot snear.
Iheir shot and shell, like death, also “love a
shining mark.'* The difference, however, is that
tho shaft of tbo grim monster is fatal, unuorring,
inevitable—becauso directed by tho almighty
arm of an umlpoteut Goil. The wrath of tho
former is chained because aimed by n cowardly,
and base foe, an 1, in every instance, they fall,
harmless at tho it* : of their inteudend victims,
Aetiug Lieut. Col. Lomax, of the Alabama Reg
iment, was attending Mira K. and a company of
ladies and gentlemen along tbo bench at Sewatf’s
Point Battery, and, when they had approached
as near as they could git to tho Rip Raps, and
stopped to make observations, a snot from “Saw
yer s American cannon” waa aimed, deliberately,
at them, which fell iu t!io water, some 50 yards
short, but in a direct lino with the group.
Tho gifted an 1 spirited authoress of Beulah,
has never, before witnessed an exhibition of gal
lantry like tht*— *nexhibition which was prompt
ly acknowledged by the waving of handkerchiefs
and other demonstration, qf eternal hostility and
undying defiance to such a foe. After another
ineffectual shot, the gun was elevated and ton
more shots wore made at tbe Battery, ns n Sun
day.
They all buried themselves in tbo s.ind, before
■ *■ off..*. aud, as n.-ual, • a #,.y u hurt.”
tlen. Huger, who stationed for several
\ears at fo-rlrtM Monroe, during the palmier !
days of tho Old Confederacy, oouduitied, it is j
said, tho very gun, from which these shell were
projected. If, as some support, this gun is to be
placed aboard the Harriet Lane, and fired upon
the Battery from an ano!.r*igc in front, beyond
tbe range of r.ur guns, it will he quite a# hntnj
tie ia its present position; because the shell
wilt either bury themselves in tho sand before
they explode, or missing tho Battery, and spend
ding their force without encountering an object,
they will fall, without exploding, the large end
to the ground.
Kx Gov. Cobb *ho has two sou? in the ranks
**f one of tbo Macon companies, arrived at our
encampment, late Monday afternoon, just before
the Battalion retired from dress-parade. A ‘rest*
was ordered and ho was requested to uddress us
on the ground. 11 is brief response to our call,
is said by thoSx who have t-fu-a beard him, to be
one of his must felicitous efforts. A sentiment
from such a sourco u apt to be damaged when
overhauled by an inferior reporter. But that you
may have some idea of the general tenor of the
speech, 1 will attempt a literal quotation of one
or two sentences. After telling us that he came,
I not to speak, but to see —that ha had no news
beyond wha wo found In the pr -9 of tho coun
ty Ac, said he.
1 uuu proud to moot you, my i lends, on the
soil or v!, tdd Dominion, and when we return to I
oar *•■ matif’£fate, 1 will extend,tp you a hearty j
greeting theres hot ** e God, I would rather
n;ia >• tl wfiuld dri* k%p .. . *r blood and become
3 our I'irJal ground, than that Virginia should |
j !-e (b liverod overto her cnnmler, through want
jif courage in you to protect her from her inva-
Iders.” in concluding his speech, be said: “The
history f camp-life, in all ages and countries,
j hu3 been a record cf demoralization. My friends
ii uin y ur power to change this record. Y’ou
< ai come out tram this campaign, better men
than when you entered it. Let this simple rule
be tbe guide of your conduct; utter no word,
eo ram it no act, which could bring the slighter
suffering to a loving heart at home. The earnest
prayers of anxious mothers, and of loving pisters,
arc constantly sent heavenward in your behalf.
Uuito your prayers with them, and while you
shall honor your country, you will bless the
loved ones whom yr.n left.**
Tho deep pathos of these simple words could
only burn in a patriotic heart, but tbe hare repe
tition of the words, will convey t> you no idea of
the magic emphasis given to them by the tone
and earnest manner of tbe speaker.
At the conclusion of his speech, by bis request,
•ne of the companies c api- icg the battalion
was drawn up in front of him and went through
tbo inanuei of arms.
I was present {ho next day when Lieuu Col.
Lomax invited him f- * ■ arid witness the
best drilling ho had ever seen before. “All sir,”
:mid Mr. C„ jocularly, “to and your regiment
justice, I should have visited your quarter* be
fore 1 came here. To go there now, would be
like taking a traveler to Baltimore after he bad
visited N-w York. I tell you, air, 1 haveyettO
find the company that does better than that did,
ve. torda.v ; I have never yet seen but a part of
one regiment that docs um nell.” This compli
ment, from one of Geot,pa - * noblest sou-*, and
one of nature’s greatest tv- ought to be very
gratifying to tho company upon whom it was
bestowed.
It is Rotafici) that two such intellects a* .Miss
Evans an l the Hon. Howell Cobb meet on the
same encampment. The latter dined yesterday
at tho bead-quarters of tbo Macon companies,
and tbo latter at the Marquee of our bachelor
Captain. Her sparkling conversational powers
and brilliant vivacity of manner*, interrupted,
vory pleasantly, the dull, uionotous routine of
every day camp life. Such visits arc of incalcu
lable benefit to our soldiery, and we trust that
they will bo frequently repeated.
Tho intelligence ofih evacuation of Harper’s
Ferry, ia received with regret, but in it we are
willing to recognize a necessary and advanta
geous military movement. It ia wiser to have
tbs great energies of tho country *u distributed
as to repel general invasion, than to have a very
lurge force concentrated at any one point, I care
not bow important that point tn*y be to us.
A saiuto of twelve guns at the Fortran yes
terday morning, indicated, cither the rrival of
more troops or of other officers. A better install
ment of both issadl f needed there.
There seems to be a continual on-coming of
the cohort* of tbo cnon.y. Ltttbem come!—
They will need many ond bravqr soldiers than
are now in the field. For their onward march
will oppose the terrible “victory or death” rt*.-
tancu of tbe men, women arid children of a
unanimous and united tsouth; I think you may
look for stirring news from this quarter, ar.d
from the whole rf-tate, soon. Tte on-set will be
made, and it moat be manfully met. It is horri
ble to think of the carnage and butchery that must
follow. Peace ia tetter—an honorable poaco—
•ie which would not compromise the dignity of
either nation, and which would be equal and just
to all. If *u?h a fwace could ho ohtaiuod, even
yet, would we pray heaven to send it .speedily,-
If it oami -t, then “let discord roign forever.”

The people of theso Confederate States, not

without a repetition of tho language it has used
on every possible occasion that has presented it
self since the establishment of its independence.
I deference to tho State of Maryland, however.
I again assert, in the ruoatemphatic terms, that
its sincere and earnest desire is for peace; that,
I whilst the government would readily entertain
any proposition from the government of the Fni
tod States tending to a peaceful solution of tho
panning difficulties, the recent attempts of litis

of tho Tailed .States were attended wl: h results
, which forbid any renewal of proposals from it to

The Baltimore E* change, < f the IStli iust.,o©D- i
tain- tho following interesting account of the j
skirnii-hat V ienna m Monday evening la*’.
Tho first account is quoted from tho Merit on nt /- j
tell*g enter, an*l may he regarded a< reliable :
Ou Sunday last, w cp a train of *ara waste
turning from Vienna, * u tbo Alexandria ami
Luudoun Railroad, (about fifteen milea from Al
exandria,) a man fired on ihotraiu from un am
bush, wounding (ieorgo Rut.bee, of tbo Conneo-
Gcut Light Guard?, aud eatuo near wounding
Gin. Tyler who was rtauding at ilia fidu iu un i
open car.
In consequence ol vliis uttack tbo Govcruiucnl !
j ••solved t place piekets along the road, and yes- !
lord ay Col. McO.k’a first Ohio Regiment, ac-
v r
; oar* 4 , and tbo nu n were distribute ! ,i, tach
| meuta along the lino. When the cars tewenc I
j V ienna, at Hbfffit five t.’drck, with only tl rwo
companies remaining. :i mu-ked battery in 1
| opened upon them, killing and wounding accor |
| *iiug to tbe report wo have, about two bundled .f*
| ti.eui. IteiulorcOßiiuta were suit forward, but
j wo have no lurlhor paiticulars of what occurred. ,
! I pon the foregoing, the Exchange make* the j
following comments :
A small portion of tbo above important dir
putoh was telegraphed to tbia city on Monday !
evening bibt, but it was promptly euppresred by j
order of the Fed**ial Govorutm i.t, so that the of- !
I ficial report might have pre< odonce. As the re- j
j port of Bkigadlcr Gantrsl m b-m k iollowa very (
| earufully the precedent set by \ ten. Butler, in tbe I
tircat. Bctbvl affair, and paid <h-wn tlio number!
of killed ntid wounded at twenty only, whiltt tbo ,
National lnleliigancer, more candid and logon
oouf', auuounces a lons ol two hundred, tho reason
i why (tie Government was anxious to toll it* own
j Gory first is obvious.
| The Associated l’rcss h-patch give* tho offi
cial report, addressed to Gen. Foott by Brigadiir 1
General Sobenok :
Left camp with rank and file, including
29 field arid company officers; in pursuance of
General McDowell’s orders to go upon Ihia ex- i
i pedition with all lhe f available force of one of j
my regiment#.
i The regime tt .’ elected being the I ‘,ret Ohio J
Volunteer, 1 left two companies, company J j
and K. an itgyregale of 126 men, at > be crossing
of the road. ‘Kent Lieut-<-!• I*xj-ol willi tv. j

c -mpanie-P, D and F. comprising 126 nun, to
guard tho railroad aud bridge between the ro.
mg and Vienna. 1 then proceeded slowly tnw;.r<Jn
V icuna with tour companies.
Company E, Captain Ruddock, nod < oin| .* y
C, Lieutenant Woodward, who were afterwards
j*>iued by company D, Captain I'ease, company
ti, Captain iSailoy, l otnpany 11, Cupluin llanloli,
total 276 men. Uu turning tbo curve Hourly,
when within a quarter of a inilo of Vienriu, wo
were tired upon by a raking masked buttery of,
I think throe gun -, with HhelL, round shot und
grape, hilling and wounding the men on the
j fortoim and mi the ears, before the train <■< uhl
l.e slopped. When the train wu.i stopped tlio
‘•ngineer could not, on account of tho damage
dono to some part of the running machinery,
draw the train out of tlio range of the enemy’s
firo. The engine being in tbe roar, wo left tbo
curs and reirented to tbe right and left of the
train through tho wood*. Finding Ibut the
enemy’s batteries woro sustained by what ap
peared to be about a regiment of Infantry, and j
by Cavalry, which for o *” have since understood
to have been seme 1,500 South Carolinians, we
fell t ask along tbe railroad; thr wing out skir
mishers on both flanks.
This was about 7 o'clock P. M. thus we retired
slowly, hearing off otir wounded fivo miles to
this point, Little balls Chnrch, which wo reached
Bill) o'clock P. M.
Tho casualties are as follows: Copt. Harriett’*
company, 2 known to be killed, and it wounded ;
.j inisftifig.
Capt Bailey's com; any G, ■> killed, 2 wounded,
and 2 missing.
Caps. Paddock's company E, l officer slightly
wounded, Capt. Pease, and 3 missing.
Tbe engineer, when the roan left the cars, de
tached his engine,with the passenger car from the
rest of the disabled Itain, and abandoned us,
running to Alexandria, and we have beard
nothing from him nine©. Thus we were deprived
of a rallying point, and of all means of accom
panying the wounded, who had to be carried on
litters and in blankets. We wait here, holding
tbe road for reinforcement*. The onetny did not
pursue.
I have ascertained that tho enemy’s force ut
Fairfax Court House, four mile from Vienna,
is now about 4,000 strong. When all the bat
teries were opened upon us, Major Hughey was
at hi* station on tho foremost platform cur.—
Col. McCook nos with me in ono of the passen
ger cars. Both of these officer* with others of
the commissioned officers and many of tlie men,
behaved most coolly under this most galling lire,
whieh we could u<f return, and from batteries
which we could not flank or turn, owing to the
nature of the ground. The approach to Vicma
ii through a ric6p,loDg cut in the railway. Ou
leaving the :rs aad before they could rally,
many of my men lost their hnrersacks or blan
ket*, but b'-v v *t of all their muskets, exeer t,
it may be, a f* w that w ro destroyed by tho ene
my’s first iiro, or lost with those who were
kilted.
{.Signed] ROBERT C. BCHBSTCK,
Brigadier General.
The 7 Iff regiment w*nt down to Alexandria,
but arrived after the battle was over. As they
left says the Washington Star, a truin came
down from Vienna, bringing tight killed and 14
ur 16 wounded. Homo of the killed woro brought
to this city by the steamer Star, which pli*
tween 7th street wharf and Alexandria.
Tut Bxtoxl Kju.AOEMr.XT. A Yorktown Va,
correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says;
Asa pi ca of interesting news, of which you
have not yet, I believe, become possessed, I will
menti n that, on tbe 12th Capt. Davis, Lieut,
j Lea and Dr. Martin, of the New York Firemen
Zouaves, came with a ring of truce from Gen.
■ Butler to our out-post, to trout with Col. Ala
| grader in relation to their dead, wounded and
prisoners. The result of the interview has not
transpired, except that one of their prisoners
was exchanged for one of ours. It ia said by
military mn that this is a positive recognition
of ui as a belligerent power, and will be so re
l girded ky the nations of lnrepe.

“The fate t>f tho merchant- L*loir engaged in
the Southern trade has been scaled by thorteem
so cal ted Congress at Montgomery, wliich prohib
its, under heavy penaities, leumtaneus to tbp |
North iu payment of debts. From this decision
there is no appeal except, to arm*: and there ia
every reason to four that when this war is ended
tbe people of tho ftouth will not lihvo tho power, j
if tboy had ever so numb the will, to pay the ir [
debts. (Ju tho other band, col lections in tho .
Wort arc blocked by tho ourroney crisis. WeHt
orn merchants write that they are willing to pay
their debts in Western currency, which ut Chic *
go is at a discount of from SO to 60 por cent, and j
is steadily falling. Thi* amounts to n practical j

that this summer mus witness tho suspension *f
tho bulk of our jobber* and of those who o * *in

which is ergaging much attention.
“Tho political and military crisis is without ‘
precedent, in our history. Neither the war of
1847 nor that of 1312 bears any coinpar'.- .n
with the civil war In which wcurenow embar
