Rrcnvour*, July 8, isci.
1 have just returned from u four days’ trip to
different points of military importance, the most
Interesting of which is Mathias Point on tho Po
tomao, some forty miles below Fredericksburg.
I crossed the river at night in a row boat, pass
ing within half a mile of an armed Fedetal
schooner, anchored about a mile and a half from
the Virginia shore. The Government regulations
as well as an obvious sense of propriety precludes
any detailed statement of our defensive prepare
lions. Fttffico it to aay that if over the Yankees
attempt a landing at that point, they will be
“welcomed with bloody hands to hospitable
graves.” On the Maryland shore, although it was
one oV.ook, a. m., when I reached thtre, I found
hospitality and a most cordial greeting. All the
Marylanders wait for, Is the arrival of the South
ern army. In Southern sentiment the State is
as sound as Virginia or Georgia, lrt the tyrant's
tie*! crushes them at present.
While it U impolit'o to publish any nows that
may benefit the enemy, tbur* is no bnrra in
spreading before the public accomplished facts,
*tpeelally if supported by the authority f an eye
•fitness. On my return from the Point, I put
up for the filght at Fredericksburg. A little af
ter midnight I was startled by the report of can
non. I immediately got ont of bed, hasti.y
treated, and accompanied an officer to Aquia
Creak where the firing was kept up. When we
arrived there, wo found the Federal steamer
Pocahontas not in the stream biasing away at
the Oeorge Page, a steamer which we caved from
oapture at the commencement of hostUtfo*. The
Pocahontas fired eight shots, all of which fell
short. The Tennetroe battery opened fire, din*
charging five shots, but such was the prudent
distance of the enemy that they did not roach
his hull. One ball richechating passed entirely
over her, after which she fled with such inglo
rious haste that tar barrels must have been used
in he tnerease of her steam.
(len. Wise has published an address to the
people of Jforth-Wwtarn Virginia, inviting them
to loyalty and action. It U generally believed
he will surprise and oapture the whole uest of
traitors at Wheeling. The rumors which, doubt
leas, hare reached you of an engagement between
Geos. Johnson and Patterson, at Mariinsburg,
ar* not confirmed by to days arrivals. It la cer
tain, hoifever, that with 15,006 men, he ha- ta
ken a position between ticn. Patterson, with
15,000 men .and the Potomac, so that the latter
must either fight or surrender. Thus be hr.*
got the enemy at last in the trap. (Morion 3 news

Tbe Skirmish dcm Newport Ken
On Friday morning, the &iu tost., about day
break, a skirmish look [dace between l HO Lo uiii
*(" troops, 20 tcom oaofj company oi Lieut. Col
Dreux’s battalion, and a body ol the eueuiy,*up
,iosed to be about the same number. Lieut. Cel
Dreux bad posted hi* men along a road by which
the enemy were advancing. As they approached
(ho some of our troop# caused them
to fire too toon. Tho autmy, thus warned, has
tily tired and commenced an immediate retreat.
Unfortunately, one of their shots took effect up
•n Lieut. Col. Bronx, and he died in a sow ruin
ate*. lie w#s in the act of giving the order to
fire wben he received the fatal wound. The only
words he was heard afterwards to *sy were—
don’t surrender.” ThebaJi passed through bin
watch-crystal ands word-belt, and entirely thro’
tils body.
Tho con fusion, caused by tho fall of Lieat.
Col. Dreux, was Increased by the advance of a
body of Virginia cavalry, who wera mistaken
‘or tbe enemy. The ouerny themtelves claimed

advantage of ibis condition of things, the ene
my gathered up their dead and ercuped.
Betides Lieut. Col. Droui, we lost one man.
VV. 8. liaokett, who was serving as a volunteer
with tbe Hhrevepcrt Gravs. Tho lots of Lieut.
Ovl. Dreux is deeply deplored by his battalion.
He was a gentleman of a high order of talent*,
and of tho most eminent worth. His aoldiern
tovsd him to such a degree, that not a man but
what would have been w illing to die by bun and
die for him. The service has lost a most valu
able ofllcer, and the city of New Orlaan* a high
ly esteemed and most useful r.ltiaen. IJo was
about thirty yearn of age, and leaves a wife and
one übild.
The loss of tho enemy, from the cause-t explain
ed, was much .e<t than it would have been. From
-lx to eight are known to have been killed. The
whole body of tho enemy would doubtless have
fallen inti* our hands, if tho skiUfiii arrange

It SW'SIK that tho redoubtable Anderson, the
“hero of Fort Sumter,” Is to command the troops
who are expected to maVo the raid into F.ast
Tennessee. Ho U be existed J>y Andrew
Johnson, the traitor. The Washing ten corres
pondent of the V w V -irk Journal of Commerce
‘ gives tho fallowing programme of the Federal
campaign :
The coming campaign In icon*<m is a matter
of great political and military interest. It has,
no Joubt, been fully arranged here between Sen
ator Jobson, of East Tennessee, and the Govern
ment. Mr. Johnson is, in a few days, to leave
| tor the theatre of operation*. Thi- plan is to
test tbe question of the strength of l nion senti
moot io Tcnue*e! He believes, that if Las
Tenmcsec be supplied with arms, she will no
only be able fc> restore her own independence
but relieve from the oppression cf
powers, the whole of middle Tennessee. He is
to rei e a very Urge corps of mounted riflemen
in leones see, while Col. Robert Anderson, of
Sumter memory, will raise tea thousand volun
teer troops in Kentucky.
Cut. Anderson is to be <Kimnm>ioned a* Brig
adier General, but is to have tbe command of the
whole expedition, with an army of fifteen thou
sand, Kentuckians and Tennessean*. Tbo Gov
ernment is to furnish the arms, equipment Ac.,
for this army. Taking possession of Eastern
Tennessee, tbie army of liberation will prevent
suppiiee of troope or provisions from being rent
through that region to Virginia.
Gen. Robert Anderson and his Lieutenant
Andrew Johnson, will find their campaigu some
what rougher than they Imagine. Let our brave
Tennessee boys prepare themselves to give them
such a warm reception as should be meted out to
two such traitors.—.YusAvi// Cniun <£ insrisaa

We make the following extract from a recozu
article in tbo New York Times rnder the above
t heading:
Tbe London Saturday Review in one tbo
•oMt vehement cf the British assailant* of tbe
Government cf the United States. It evinces a
delightful rsr.ccr—an intense end unmistakable
hatred, In all it* comments on tbe effort* of cor
Government to crush rebellion, which leaves no
room to doubt the sincerity of its sympathy with
tho slave trading con*piracy which has taken
up arms against us. Ite issue of th© S h June
devotes thro© articles to the service of the Con
federate -—we of whieh discusses the subject cf
privatoeriog, from tbe point of view which an
active, unecrupuloua spent of Jeff Davis might-
U expected to take. Iu text is the dispatch
of Mr. Buward, announcing the adhesion of our
Government to tbe abolition of privntetri;:; de
creed by tho European powers at the Conference
nt Porifi; and the drift of its article is, flr.-t to
show that thi* adhesion will not be of the least
validity against the South; oed second, that
it will be of the utmost value to England against
th© Gove r.ment of the Untied btatei. Its ar
gument D wot thy of aucctun.
Th© Review begins by Baying that‘ no actof
©no belligerent can possibly affect our i Eng
land’s) reUtions with another.” By recoguismg
the South as a belligerent, England ha> recog
nised her right to all the privileges conceded to
belligerents by the law ts nations—and the D
therefore at perfect liberty to issue letters oi
marque and reprisal*. Nothing that tho Gov
ernment of the United States may stipulate,
can in any degree affret th* rights cr control the
action of th© Southern Confederacy. She l*, in
the view of England, an independent power—
not in tbe least bound by the adhesion of the
North to tbo treaty of Peris. Ho uiueb for
that point. The action of Mr. Seward does not
in the slightest degree effect tbe right of tho
.South lo commission privateers.
On the other hand, Mr. Seward’s dispatob es
actual.y ties tbe hands of the United States Go
rernment— abandons tbe right to issue letters <l
marque, and concedes to foieign veasela certain
privileges which may prove, indirectly, of th*
utmost importance to toe Southern Confederacy
“The Government of tbe United States,” aay*
the Saturday Review, “cannot accede to any
one provision of tho Code of tbe Treat? of Pari*
without accepting all. One of these provision*
stipule*** that tho flag shall cover the goods
The property of hwUtbereersoriAoard tl Eng
lish vessels is now exempt from aeicure. This
may prove exceedingly convenient to us nex:
winter, when we want lo briDg the now cotton
to Liverpool. Bo long as wo do not cary con
traband of war, and io long as we do not break
an effective blockade, we can bring a* much
cotton aod tako as many English goods from

A corre.*pon4ent of the Macon Tfiegraph,

cf the crop* in the above locality
During a part of last month luire war s
drought .n portions cf Southern Georgia and
middle Florida, which caused much apprehension
among corn planters, eupj of wh> in. instead ot
crossing their light Und-, aod planting in bills
of proper distances, drilled their corn, thereby
rendered themselves dependent entirely upon au
abundance oi rain, wnicb, while it favored tLsm,
would have been reinoti* to the crops in the rich

not a general or-e. Where I was there was plen

planters, a i well as tho>ie cultivating poor lands,
and I am prepared to say that in the region
designated above a more abandont corn crop
has never been made on tbe same lands than ie
now maturing, The drought enabled the plan
ter to hill the gnua and prepare his fields for
tbe grateful showers which have fallen so plon
j tifttlljr during tbe isst two weeks. I noticed corn
of variou* age*, from waist high to matured
tar-els and resting care. Aa to the < >acn crop

The letter “is addressed to a number of gentle
men in Greenbrier county, Ya., and is publish
ed in the Richmond Enquirer of tbe 9tb last :
It his pleased tbe President to place u,* Io
command of tbe camp of the trans-Ailcgbaoy,
and it is proper that 1 *ft ould explain, generalt'y,
th© nature und extent of that evutsauj. By iu
straotions of tbe !d of June, I am to raise a Le
gion; b f tb* prompt formation of cum panic*—
th* comp ante; to be reported, with tbeir officers,
in order that the latter may be comm.ssioned.—
As soon as a regiment of ten companies is raised
tbe field officers will be appointed, I have the
privilege cf recommending three appointments.
When the regiments are tinned, they will be ar
ranged into a brigade, whi b I am to command,
with the commission of Brigadier Goner 1. Ait
officers, of course, will be appointed and *v>iu
w ssi uedby the President, but with a just re
gard to iuv recoiumendaiion. The mounted
tu-n arc not to exceed 500, equal to six comp.t
nkw, er three equadron.% The artillery is to
consist of six field-pierevti All the troops’of the
legi',’Q .are to arm and equip themselves thorough
ly; but the arms and equipmnt are to be ap
praised and paid for alter being mustered into
service ; and to aid in this, l am authorised to j
purchase private arms for th# purpose. Com
panies may consist of ibe minimum number of
or the maximum of 100 privates. The en
li.umenti* are forth© war. or fir a period not less
than one year. Euch is the organisation now
progressing, and I am authorized to transport all
recruits,engaged for it, to Lewiaburg, at public
expense, up to tbe Ist of July next.
Beside* thi? command of th* Legion. I bit.
further commissioned a? Brigadier General, for
tho dal'enoe of the Kanawha Valley, au<l an tu
uofioito number of th* adjoining countic-. To
that end lam to proeeed, with tb* force placed
at my disposal, to the Valley of the Kanawha,
by all th* meaus in my control to rally the p*o
plo of that Valley and tho adjoining c untie# to
resist and repel the invading enemies, who are |
threatening the Ohio border, or are olrca It
trampling our soil, on tbeir march towards Lew
isburg. I most needs rely upon the arms among
the people, to supply tbe requisite armament;
aud upon their valor and knowledge of tbe coun
try as a substitute for organisation and discip
line. Iftbere beany who bar* arms beyond
their power or will to use, I must take them with
such arrangements as the case may indicate fi r
future settlement. 1 must rely upon tn* sup
plies of the country. When necessary, I (ball
take them by properly authorised and
they shall be promptly paid or receipted for, an

Wo appeal tho eonoiudiag portion cf Judgo
Meredith's decision in reference to tho spy H°ri*
bat. The last oi this fellow, it .viti be
seen, is that “be is without citixenship, unless bis
nativity in South CaroLaa eonfe-s it.” Tbe
Judge has not miisci the man, and we trust will
hoick to hi* decision, an i r.ot be outwitted by this
sharper:
lathis case, it has Veen Nearly proved that
tbe prif&oer w e a resident of tbe State of Now
York fur several years, and it is further prove a
that prior to the dib of Juoe last he left tho
State of New York, and on that day entered tho
aut© of Virginia, by a period from Geo. John
ston. He remained a few days in ike State, and
went on to the Stale of Soulii Carolina, where
alter .spending a short time, Lo proceeded to j
Georgia, in which State lie w.ia arrested aud ;
brought book to this city, and, oa the 2Uh ot j
June, committed by order ot the Executive. TLti.- j
is all the proof In the case on this point. It will 1
be seen that it u ea not prove tht he left the j
city ot New York frith tho Intention of abandon- ‘
lng hi* residence there; still less doe* it prove nn
intention of returning to his native aotutcil In
fact, the testimony in the c*m tends strongly to .
show that his sojourn w*a temporary ; for uuriag
the twelve days he was in the cou o, he passed ,
through four Hutes ; and whilst m South Caro- j
tin a, aid r.o act which looked to a permanent !
rveidecca in that State. Ho pa*wd through R !

iu South Carolina confer* it. He not aver
an intention to abandon hi* acquired dom.cil in
New York, nor does he aver iu miration lo re- i
turn to the domicil cf bis nativity.
Upon an examination of the whole case, lam
led to tbe conclusion that the prisoner is a citixen ‘
of tbe Biatoof New York, a State foreign to the
Southern Confederacy, aud at war with it; and,
therefore, the Executive bad Ju'isdictioo of tbo ‘
ease, and his judgment cannot ho rescinded.
