Mr. Yancey in London.—In a private letter
written from Londou to his friends in this city,
says the Montgomery Advertiser, Hon. William
L. Yancey sa\-s there is a strong contest going
on between the Exeter Hall Abolitionists and
the Ministry. The Exeter Abolitionists are as
bitter against the South as the Massachusetts
anti-slavery fanatics. The Ministry party, how
ever, are favorable to the Southern Confedera
cy, but being in a small majority have to pro
ceed cautiously to obtain the concurrence of
the people. Mr. Yancey does not doubt the
success of his mission.
IVe clip the following from the local
column of the Richmond Dispatch of Friday.
The Oglethorpcs seem to have made a very
strong impression on our Richmond friends :
The Oglethorpe Rifle Battalion, from Savan
nah, Georgia, arrived via Petersburg Railroad
Last night. They are fully armed and equipped.
We should judge there were about 500 of them
in line.
The Petersburg Express thus notices the pas
sage of the corps through that city:

Thanksgiving and Prayer.—President Davis
has set apart Thursday, the 13th day of June, as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer throughout
the Confederate States. His Proclamation will
be found on this page.
Tlie News from Virginia.
The intclligance from the Abolition army re
moves the last lingering doubt of the most
hopeful that we shall be saved a fierce and
bloody war for the maintenance of our inde
pendence. The enemy has left his own soil,
and now occupies a large town in the Con
federate States. The taking of Alexandria is,
in itself, no very important affair, but it shows
the sincerity’ of the Abolition threat to overrun
and subject the South, provided they can.—
The work is commenced, and wc shall see how
far they will be allowed to proceed with their
victorious arms. It was contemplated from
the beginning, from motives of policy, to make
no stand at Alexandria should an attempt be
made to take it, and hence but a very small
force was left in the place, with instructions to
retire upon the appearance of the enemy in su
perior force. Lincoln marched live thousand
men into it by night, but he could have done it
with equal facility by day. From certain facts
we are led to believe that the movement was
in strict accordance with the wishes of oar Gov
ernment.
It is said that a large force has been sent for
ward iu the direction of Harper’s Ferry, and
another to Fortress Monroe, and that an attack
will soon be made on the former and in tin
neighborhood of the latter. The detachment in
Alexandria, after being reinforced, will probably
proceed in the direction of Richmond, via
Manassas Gap junction. At all these points wi
have anticipated them by collecting a large
army, though we think It possible that the
force at the Manassas Gap junction may be or
dered to retire still further into the State upon
the approach of the enemy, thus bringing about
the first engagement at a point where the latter
will find it difficult to escape in case of defeat
We feel confident that the plans of our Govern
ment with regard to the campaign in Virginia
have been laid with consummate wisdom, and
if the enemy are not cut to pieces, it will only
be from the fact that they outnumber us three
to one. We have perfect confidence of their
defeat should there be even an approach to
equality of for es. A few days will bring stirring
events upon us.
In referring to the occupation of Alexandria,
we should be unjust to the memory of the dead
did we omit to notice becomingly the noble act
of self-sacrifice by Mr. Jackson, the proprietor
of the Marshal House in that place. He must
have known there was no earthly hope of es
cape, and therefore we are constrained to be
lieve that he struck what he regarded aB a val
uable blow for his State and country, and was
contcut to lose his own life after he had done
the deed. The death of Ellsworth is a heavy
loss to the enemy, and we doubt if his place iu
that peculiar department of the service cur be
tilled. We then say, all honor to the memory
of the gallant Jackson ! He deserves a monu
ment from his country, and no doubt will have
it at the end of the war.
The Augusta Dispatch learns lhat “as General
Lawton and Judge Lumpkin were returning to
Savannah from a visit of inspection to Fori
Pulaski, the boat containing them capsized,
but they were rescued from a watery grave and
brought to the city.”
We in Savannah first heard of the incident re
ferred to, through the column* of the Dispatch.

England and Privateering.
The more intelligent of ithc Abolition Press
give up the question of England’s being on the
side of the South in the present war. The fol
lowing paragraph from an article in the Times-.
taken in connection with recent intelligence
from Washington, would seem to indicate that
Old Abe is about to get all civilized creation on
his hands :
We have at last the text of Lord John Rus
sell’s declaration in Parliament, in regard to the
policy which the British Government has de
cided to adopt concerning the issue of letters-
of-marque by the so-called-Sontliern Confed
eracy. He announces that the rebellious States
arc, in this respect, to be regarded by the Bri
tish Government “as belligerentsand, in the
remarks with which he accompanies this de
claration, quoting precedents for this action,
he fully vindicates our statement, made when
the telegraph first announced this debate, and
which has been severely contested by corres
pondents, that the privateers of the South arc
to be recognized and protected by the British
Government when the}' bring prizes into Bri
tish ports. We repeat what we said then, that
this is an unfriendly act, and if carried into
practical effect, will be so regarded and treated
by the Government of the United States. The
British Government strains a point of interna
tional law,—discards utterly the established
principle, that none but au established nation,
having a recognized national flag, and already
received by formal action into the family of
nations, can issue letters-of-raarque against pri
vate property,—and cites the absurdly inappli
cable example of the Greek Revolution as a
precedent to justify its giving the most effective
»id it could possibly render to the Slave Oli
garchy uow in rebellion against the Govern
ment of the United States. Such an act will not
pass unpunished. If it does not at once force
the present Ministry to give place to better
inen, it will lay the seeds of hostility which will
bear fruit long after the present rebellion has
been extinguished.
Did Abe Seize* Private De*patclies—
YVJiat He Found.
In New York the accumulated despatches of
the Inst two months were seized. The Tribune
pronounces it “a bold stroke by the Govern
ment,” and adds:
The object was to obtain evidence of the
operations of the southerners with their north
ern accomplices, which the confidential tele
grams passing between them could most cer
tainly furnish. The seizures in all the principal
cities were made at precisely the same time, so
os to prevent the destruction of evidence which
might follow tlio receipt of a warning from any
particular point. The whole matter was man
aged with the greatest secrecy, and so well
planned that the project was a complete success.
By this bold manoeuvre the Government has
obtained possession of a mass of evidence of
the greatest importance. The secret operations
of northern traitors arc laid bare, and those
who have .aided and abetted the rebellion arc
now completely at the mercy of the officers of
the law.
In this city alone the despatches in the hands
of the Federal officers amounts to several thou
sands, and include, of course, information in
regard to the purchase of arms, ammunition
and equipments, purchase and outfit of vessels,
diplomatic and financial arrangement-, the ne
gotiation of southern loans, the purchase and
treachery of army and navy officers, the secret
plans for dividing the people of the north, pro
gressive operations of Government towards
suppressing the rebellion, and every other im
aginable species of testimony which the parties
would wish to keep secret. To'overhaul such
a mountain of papers as this will require some
time and much trouble; but the work, in the
bauds of an efficient marshal or superintendent
of police, will be promptly, fearlessly
thoroughly prosecuted.

Two Yirqinia Batteries Destroyed—A Summary
Check 'to the Rebels— They arC^Scattercd in all
Directions—Capture of Two Schooners—Thirty
Rebels Taken Prisoners.
Washington, Monday, May 20,1861.
On Saturday afternoon, the steamboat Star,
formerly the Monticello, discovered a partially
formed battery at Sewell’s Point.. Two guns
from the Norfolk Navy-Yard had been mounted,
and embrasures had been prepared IbY about a
dozen others. The Star opened fire and Jiad
dismounted one gun, when the Thomas Free
born, Capt. Cash, attracted by the flriDg. ran
down from Fort Washington, and getting qearer
shore than the Star’s draught permitted, speedi
ly overset the second. The Freeborn then sent
a shot toward a body of 20 or 30 secession
ists, who stood near the ruined battery, which
cut clean through them, and scattered them in
all directions, and then steamed away.
Last night, the Freeborn, while cruising in
the Potomac below Fort Washington, over
hauled and captured a couple of suspicions
schooners. The first was tne Virginia, from
Alexandria. The second was the Isabel, which,
on being hailed, declared herself to be laden
with fish for Alexandria. Until threatened with
a shot, she refused to stop, but. on being board
ed, was found to contain thirty of the oddest
kind of secession fi6b, all well armed. There
was no cargo on board as had been declared.
The Isabel was towed up to the Navy Yard,
where she now lies under guard, with her thirty
prisoners on board.
The Southern Blockade.—The New York
Times is pretty well disgusted with Lincoln’s
shackling blockade of Charleston and Savannah
It says:
If the necessity of perfecting the Southern
blpckade has not been recognized heretofore, it
must be so iu the light of our European advices.
The porta must not tfinly be closed, but sealed
hermetically. There is no time for laxity or im
perfect measures. With a small but pestilent
enemy eager to get out, and a large and rapa
cious neutral who avows his purpose to fret in,
the only alternative of their success lies in the
erection of a harrier hopelessly impassable to
both.
THE Recent Murder.—The man who was
supposed to have been murdered on the banks
of the Ogeechee, near Millen, was named Wray,
and was engaged in the tobacco trade. A man
by the name of Barton Is suspected of having
murdered bim. He has been lodged in jail.
and
A Southern Express Company.—We an
nounced some time since that the Southern
stockholders of the Adams’ Express Company,
had made arrangements to purchase the South
ern interest and business anil establish, a
Southern Express.
We take the liberty of suggesting that this
Company be designated as “Woodward’s South
ern Express,” in deserved compliment to the
labors and services of Mr: Woodward, who has
been the pioneer and leading representative of
the Adams’ Express in the South, and a genuine
son of the South.—Char. Courier.
Woodward is a “trump,” but as we are op
posed to monopolies, we propose that it be

In the battle between the Star (late Monti

inches above the water line, and a third passed
through lior boiler-house and lodged in one of
the coal-bunkers, and four others penetrated

the boy, three men were injured, one severely

A Georgia “Nigger” bound for the Wars.
The Charleston Courier's correspondent from
Weldon, North Carolina, in describing the
march of the troops from Georgia Northward,
relates the following :
Several of them brought along their body ser
vants, who were likewise armed and uniformed.
One of the latter was a mouldy looking darkey,
so old and dried up ho would pass for a preserv
ed preparation of an Egyptian mummy. He
had but two teeth left out of the usual comple
ment, and his head looked uot unlike a dingy
cotton patch on a small scale. Some one asked
if he “wasn’t afraid to go to the wars?” “No,
sah ” said he. “Wherebber Massa go
dis chile go too—follow him to the debbil.”—
“But suppose Abe Lincoln gets after you, what
then ?” “Ma«sa look out fur him, shuah—neb-
ber let dis chile get hurt in dc world. I’se wuf

the old shade turned on his heel and inarched
off as dignified as a Wall street “bear.”
Mr. Russell at Pensacoa.—The Pensacola
correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser writes,
May 16 :
Mr. Russell, of the Londou Times, Mr. Paul
Ravesies, Mr. T. B. Lynes and Mr. Alfred Batre,
who left Mobile on Tuesday In a yacht for this
place, were invited by a boarding officer from
the United States fleet to accompany him yes
terday to the flag-ship of the squadron, to ac
count for themselves and ship in forbidden
waters. The interview was as pleasant and
agreeable as the circumstances would admit of.
Belntrin the enemies’ jaws is notan enviable
situation in these days of infamy and coercion.
But in this instance no -danger was apprehend
ed or injoryintended. They were invited aboard
all the ships of the squadron, and treated with
marked deference and hospitality. The present
state of things was discussed good naturedlv,
and the prevailing idea of the squadrou that the
Confederacy would be “wiped out”—dissolved
like a temperauce society—met with a stem re
buke by their Mobile geests. They had per
mission to Visit Fort Pickens this evening, and
acquaint themselves with eutire arrangements ;
but as it was to be a secret—an inviolable se
cret—It will probably bo declined by a portion
of them. One of them may go in courtesy to
Mr. Russell, their campagnon du voyage. 1 ms
is indeed a privilege to grant an enemy. As to
Mr. Russell, probably some latitude will be
allowed his correspondence.
Tlie First Engagement at Sewell’s Point
GALLANT CONDUCT of GEORGIANS.
[Extract from Correspondence Columbus Times ]
Portsmouth, Va., May 20th.
At eleven o’clock yesterday morning, just as
our Chaplain, Rev. Thomas H. Jordan, had
commenced his sermon to our Battalion, at our
camp at Tanner’s Creek Cross Roads (whither
Me were ordered last Friday,) a messenger from
Gen. Gwynn. notified Major Hardeman that one
company from his Battalion would be needed
immediately at Sewell’s Point. As Capt. Col-
quit is-, by commission, the senior officer among
the companies composing our Battalion, the
eager desire of his company to go was yielded
to. Wuh one day's rations, we were ready in
fifteen minutes for the command, “march.”* It
was given, and, with a very quick step, we
reached the Point, seven miles off, about half
past twelve. As we neared the fort, we march
ed half bent, so as to conceal ourselves from the
enemy, and we were kept in ambush until the
tiling commenced. A two-masted steamer—
the Monticello—was lying off about three-quar
ters of a mile from the fort. Unusual activity
was manifested on her deck. Large crowds of
men were running about, some with glasses in
their hands, others were sighting and adjusting
the guns, and everything indicated active pre
paration for an attack. From the same anchor
age, she had the evening before attempted to
demolish Fort Beauregard-—the construction of
which liad commenced only a day or two a^o.
As there was not then a single gun there, aud
none but negroes working ou it, the work was
suspended, and she was allowed to waste her
powder on it. But altogether a different recep
tion greeeted her guns yesterday. We had all
been working on the interior of the fort and
mounting guns from the moment we landed.
W c kept the embrasures closed with colored
blankets so that our movements and the num
ber ol our men could not be discovered by
them. At 0 o’clock p. m., private Cleveland of
our Company went out in front of the battery,
to shovel away a large bank of sand that ob
structed the sighting of our guns ; and this act
' vus 1 * ast “straw tfmt broke the camel’s
back of their endurance. An eight inch shell
came whizzing from the boat, struck the bat-
teiy, and exploded. Immediately Ensign Lock
hart seized our flag, (that flag—the flag) ran
out aud waved it three times, and pknted it—
our men all mounted the ramparts, pulled off
their caps and shouted three cheers for having
been accommodated with the first lire. Each
squad then ran to their gun, and waited the
command “lire !” and when it was given, it
was a hearty good will that “pulled the strings,”
of the five guns iu our battery (three 6 inch
columbiads and two small rifle cannon.) Our
men were so impetuous and hasty in their move
ments, that all ol our shots for several rounds,
were aimed either two high or two low ; but all
of them were line shots.
The enemy had three 8 inch Columbiads from
which they kept up an incessant and rapid
firing.. The guns were aimed with remarkable
precision. Anyone of their shots would have
struck a boat of the size of theirs ; but, t.liank
God! not one did its diabolical work among
us. Almost half of tlieir shot struck our bat-
tery, and several shells exploded on top of it.
One tremendous bomb hit the muzzle of the
cannon at which Lieutenant Moflet and myself
were working, and exploded in the embrasure,
not three feet lrom us, covering us with the
turf and splinters of the battery, and so tearing
up the embrasure as to make it large enough
for three guns. Another shell passed within
a foot of Robert Lockhart, as lie ran out to
plant the flag a little further to the left than it
had been waving. He did not have time to get
back behind the battery after the cry “lookout”
was given, and befoie the ball came. He fell
flat on the ground, and this saved him. Privates
•inyo and Porter had one ball to pass between
their legs while they were shovelling away sand
from in front of their gun. The trees near the
fort were completely peeled and trimmed by
the grape aud slid!. A chain came whizziDg just
a foot above the ba» tery, struck a tree about
ten feet oft', and cut it in two, as smoothlv as
you could cut a sprig of asparagus. The shell
and grape and 2*3 pounders rained down among
us all the time as thickly us hail, und all of us
are the possessors of some of these trophies,
gathered on the ground of our first successful
battle-field.
Our supply of ammunition was short, and we
ceased firing for fifteen minutes once, expect
ing that we would need the five or six rounds
left for other boats dispatched to the assistance
of the Monticello. Up to this time, uot one ol
our shot had taken effect. Our men had been
too eager. Capt. Colqnitt commanded silence,
told us we must aim better and fire more de
liberately. He then aimed a gun himself, pull
ed the trigger and the hollow, rattling sound
told where the ball had gone. Indeed we could
plainly see daylight through the hole which the
ball had madejust above the water’s edge. Two
other shots aimed by Capt. Colqnitt made their
mark as plain as did this. Almost all of our
shots now struck the boat or passed hard by.
The steam began to roll from her smoke stack—
her firing became more languid, her moorings
began to loosen, and she moved sluggishly
down Hampton Roads. As she tired her third
shot at us, she sent up rocket signals, and just
as slie began to move off two little steam tugs
from the Fortress came alongside to bear up
the drooping wings of the poor wounden bird.
One of the impudent little things, the one on
the starboard, and next to us, fired a shot at our
battery which was aimed too low and fell short,
we returned it, and she fired another and began
to “bout,” Just as she gave us a fair broad
side presentation a shot from one of our rifled
cannon tore away her colors, smoke stack, and
what else we know not. But she ploughed the
waves with all the steam she had, after that and
thus ended the fight. That the Monticello was
badly crippled was evident from tlic zigzag
languid manner in which she “rode out of the
Roads.” Wc testified our sympathy for her
condition by mounting the rampants, and send
ing up one long, loud and graceful shout of
victory, which God approved, and which the
overarching heavens echoed back. And now is
not “He that is for us mightier than they that
he against us ?”
It would be invidious to mention the bravery
of any particular one of our corps. Perfect com
posure, and cheerful intrepidity mantled every
brow. Our Captain’s orders were announced
with as much cheerful composure and grace as
if he had been drilling us at dress parade. A
small detachment from three Virginia com
panies were our companions in the engagement.
Our commander however had charge of the
united forces. * * * * * *

Who Deserve the “ Bricks ?”—Our co
temporary of the Augusta Constitutionalist hits
the nail on the head in the following response
to a correspondent:
“Harper's Weekly.”—We have received a
communication, accompanied by some extracts
from the above named publication. The writer
desires us to give Harper “ bricks.” There is
no use in kicking a dead dog. Harper is de
funct throughout the south. We feel much
more inclined to give those who subscribe to 6nch
publications, “ bricks,” than the publishers
themselves. They first aid nnd encourage an
enemy, and have no right to complain of the
goods they have purchased, when, time after
time, they have had fair warning of their base
quality. * The publishers find their lies and
their slanders sell readily, and are not to blame
if they think them acceptable to the purchaser,
and continue to offer for sale what they find in
demand. Let the “ bricks” fall on the right
shoulders. Harper would not harp if he did
did not some people ready to dance to his
music.

Characteristic Anecdotes—Wilson’*
Cut-Throat*.
We find the following going the rounds in the
northern journals:
The other day a Methodist clergyman went to
exhort them. Billy Willson drew his men up
and called “attention !” The parson then gave
them a very edifying and appropriate discourse,
to which, in obedience to the Colonel’s com
mands, they listened attentively. When the
parson had finished, Bill}’ gave his “boys” a
short talk somewhat in this wise : “Boys, I
want you to remember what the minister has
told you. Tt is all for your good ; take liis ad
vice and fellow it; for there is no knowing but
what in less than six months every d—d one of
you will be in h—II.” Here a voice in the ranks
called out, “Three cheers for li—11,” and they
were given with a will. The pastor, astonished
and angry, asked what it meant.” “Oh !” said
Billy, “the boys don’t know much about Scrip
ture. They think h—11 is somewhere between
Montgomery and New Orleans, and they are
d—d anxious to get down in that neighbor
hood !”
They tell another equally characteristic anec
dote of this same crowd :
A clergyman had raised a collection for Wil
son’s benefit, and went to present the same
with a little speech to the redoubtable Colonel.
He made the speech and put his hand into his
pocket for the money, when it was not to be
found, although lie had had ii in possccsioti a
few moments before. He was taken bock a
little, but soon rallied and said, “if is all the
same, Colonel. seme of your men have got the
money!''' His pocket had been picked, after he
came on the ground. Comment is superfluous.
Suicide of a Virginia Captain.—The
Suffolk (Va.) Sun of Thursday, makes the fol
lowing sad record :
We record with a sorrowful heart the. death
of Capt. Christopher F. Fi.-her, the command-
ent of the Petcrsburgh Cavalry, who died
under the most melancholy circumstances.—
For several dajrs Capt. F.’s company had been
stationed at YVise’s store, near Pig Point, and
the Captain became depressed in spirit, and
seemed to apprehend that his company was in
position to be cut to pieces by the enemy.—
The officers and privates of his company dis
covering kis mental condition, consented to ac
company him to Suffolk, and there intended to
persuade him to return home. They left their
camp on Wednesday night at 10 o’clock, and in
about four hours were in one mile of Suffolk,
when the Captain drew his pistol and shot him
self twice tliroug the body—fell from his horse,
ran a short distance and then shot himself
through the head. He never spoke afterwards,
dying in a few minntes.
Sensible Views.—The New York Independent
(Beecher’s paper) has the following frank and
sensible acknowledgment :
One question was finished by the bombard
ment of Fort Sumter. There is to be no recon
struction by the tricky compromises of trading
politicians. The day of compromises lias gone
by. Henceforth we must acquiesce in the ne
cessity which denounces our separation, and
hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind,
enemies in war—in peace, friends. Nor is there
TO BE ANY RECONSTRUCTION BY FORCE. TllOSC
seceded States, and as many more as the pro
vidence of God controlling ‘the fortune of
war* shall annex to them, are to run their own
course apart from us, and to fashion their own
destiny apart from ours.”
Approach of the Enemy—Paducah to be
Invested—The People Fleeing.—It is said
that a private despatch was received in this
city last evening, from Mr. Fowler, a responsi
ble merchant at Paducah, stating that informa
tion had been received there that the Lincoln
forces from Cairo intended to occupy Paducah
immediately, and that, in the prospect of such
an event, the people of the town were already
engaged in moving away their families, their
property and all their arms, ammunition, and
indeed all that they considered valuable. This
move shows very clearly, that the aggressive
enemy is gradually coining down upon us for
our subjugation. Paducah is about forty miles
above Cairo on the Ohio river, and at the mouth
of the Tennessee river. At that point there is a
railroad nearly completed, intersecting the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad at Union City, Tenn.,
which shows the purpose of the Lineolnites to
seize the railroads, and thus approach us by
both land and water. Wc happen to know that
such a movement was not unanticipated by our
military authorities, who are doubtless prepared
to give them a warm reception in any way they
may present themselves.—Memphis Bulletin, 23.
Tnc Peace Commissioners.—It will be re
membered that the telegraph announced some
days ago the appolntmeiP of six Commission
ers by the Legislature of Maryland—three to
wait on President Davis and three on President
Lincoln. The three sent to the Confederate
States arrived yesterday and are uow at the Ex
change. Two of these gentlemen are members
of the Maryland Senate, and one of the House
of Delegates.—Montgomery Advertiser.

More Fighting at Sewell’* Point.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch
writes:
Norfolk, May 22, 1S61.
Yesterday a steamer which had been above
Newport News, blockading the entrance to
James river, attempted to go down to Fort
Monroe. When nearly opposite the battery at
Sewell’s Point a shot was fired from that place,-
which brought her to. She returned the fire,
but after several shots had been exchanged be
tween them, finding she could not pass the bat
tery, she put back to the place from which she
came. She is now fastened in there, unless she
passes out during tt»e night—that was in the
morning. Yesterday afternoon tho tug Young
Americu ran up within a mile and exchanged
two or three shots with the fort at Sewell’s
Point, being backed out by the fire from the
fort, she ran off to the steam frigate Minnesota,
which came up and rounded to about two miles
(which is as near almost as she can approach)
from tho fort, aud opened with shot aud shell
upon the battery at Sewell’s Point, firing about
fifteen times. The battery answered with great
spirit from several heavy guns, which caused
her to back out, or rather they let her drift out
of raDge. Her fire had no effect upon the bat
tery, nor was anyone within it the least injured.
Whether she sustained any injury or not has
not been ascertained.
The turning back of the steamer from James
river, I think, will be of great advantage, as the
battery at Bewell’s Point will soon be In a con
dition to protect the entrance, and thus break
up a blockade, so far as the passage from Rich-
moud to Norlolk is concerned, in a short time.
Send down the steamers Yorktown and James
town, heavily armed and well manned, and I’ll
guarantee their safe passage from Norfolk to
Richmond.
