Every thing property, liberty, life, are staked apon the Dane of the war in which we are engag cd.

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 tn a day or two. At Yorktown every thing is in readiness to receive Picayune Butler should be have the cour age to leave the walls of Fortress Monroe, Cul. Colquitt and his bieorgt* boys are wiming gul den opinions from all who visit that fauiod bat tle ground. To-day I met with a friend, the Captain of the Montgomery Guards of tide city, now stationed • at Manassas. He could only obt tin ene day's ieeve of absence to visit his family bore, on the ground that tba troop* at Mananas Junction may receive marching orders at any moment.— That looks cheering, especially when taken In connection with the fact that they have already begun to transfer the more valuable publio • reblrcs from Washington to Philadelphia.

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 to bo friend*, and cried “stent shoot,” nkm 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.

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.
