4 Our Virginia Correspondence, j Tlte Afl'iir of Malvern Hill- RIQBMOND, Aug. lKh, I^o2. Mr. Editor: Quite a severe spell of sickncß * hua rendered futile all my reeen anU'- s write you. Some very ■ transpired lately on the New Marke ■* *• . 1 DCt . relation, or n-rraßon, yci>. „. |imi debted to thesis' tmenw ' " I vouch for ns r h were On Monday, Ah a ordered on p*‘ _ ' p< j.-om which verv hifihi cotuW ! , , the famL; battle Held, the -.cm,’* and a varied and beantliul c xteut of country, are plainly visible, Ihe battle 01 Tuesday, July Ist, was not on Malvern Hill proper, hut a mile in advance, or north of it. At its base ruu3 Turkey Island creek. The enemy could not advance in tins direction with any certainty of success. The place was re garded as very strong, and the only source of uneasiness was The possibility of a flank move ment on our left, hy which, if successful, the enemy could easily gain our rear, before we could become aware of if. But strorg picket posts were on the left, and our regiment felt perfectly secure —so much so, indeed, that par ties were out far in advance, buying chickens, vegetables, <fcc. Five companies were held in reserve—the rest took post in advance. Tuesday morning opened .bright and clear, and our boys felt as secure, as free from attack or surprise, as on the day previous, when sudden ly there appeared two brigades and some cav alry advancing slow!y in front. Our posts were driven in, and line of battle formed on Malvern Hill. No order came to fall back, and our boys were going to give them battle any way. The enemy’s artillery soon opened on our rear, and judge of their amazement when our men dis covered a brigade of Yankees, eight pieces of artillery, and cavalry in their rear. The pickets on our left had lot them pass without giving us notice. The artilleryfigbt was terrific. Not much wa3 done with muskets. Our battery was turned towards our camps, and fought a superi or battery until they expended the last round. We had only three pieces—they had C’ght. Major Pickett was in command. In this di- # lemma, what was to be done ? Novelief could reach us, for we were surrounded. The ugly gunboats were belching their huge shells at us, but fortunately their range was too high, and their huge shells exploded i:i the Federal ranks. The forces were steadily closing in around the Seventeenth when Major Pickett gave the com mand to fall back in good .order towards The only place where there was the least chance of escape. This was a pars not. more than one hundred and fifty yards wide, south of Malvern Hill, and this pass was commanded by the ene my’s batteries. The boys say they had fully m;de up their minds to take a trip to Fortress Monroe or Fort. I> !.>w re, for it looked like . madness itf'tbe extreme for three hundred and • fifty men to light against, three Thousand. But, as good luck would have it, the Eighth Georgia Regiment, ordered to relieve our regi ment on post, came up in the “nick of time” and saved us. The Yankee battery seeing the “Eighth,” and fearing it was an attempt to cut them off, limbered up and “slsf-daddled,” to use their own elegant language. This opened the gap, and the Seventeenth r. ade good time in passing through it. As they reached the long narrow, '•ut straight passage, the enemy brought five pieces into position, and threw grim- hot and canister (to use the men’s expression,) “by the hat-full,” hut their elevated position e - used, them to overshoot their mat it, and our regi mom es caped without injury. We then took position j in the rifle pits mar our camps, and calmly awaited the advance of ilie enemy, who did not come further than Malvern Hill. It is supposed that they made this sudden* Tald upon the hill for the purpose of recovering buried arms, for whew Gen. Loogstreet, the fol lowing day, advanced* to storm their strong hold. they fell back without resistance.

V A 8 P. Richmond, Va , Aug 13. 1802. Me. Editor;* Twelve months ago today, “ Camp Campbell” was all astir with soldiers marching to the beat of the drum and shrill note of fife. All was bustle, tx. itemr-ni, pre paration ior “ going to Virginia ”—greetii gof friends, parting words of fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, eneonregi: g th so brave, noble fellows, many of whom tow sleep the last, long sleep.

What pflylng crt.\* ’f br ken liearted wives as they bid their fond husbands farewell —many, alas ! for the last lime. What shouts of enthusiastic cheer greeted our cars j from the muldthdo as U.ey bid us adieu ! Tho ladies had. prepared ns a magnificent ' dinner; and oh! dtow our hearts glowed with j gratitude to the frir creatures for their unceasing j effort* to make us happy, to lessen the grief of j parting; and there each and every ond of the 1 “ Decatur Guards ” resolved in his beaut to j gain liberty lor Uic-o fair ladles, or leave their ? corpses upon the bloody field of battle* Their! good offices reconciled ti to our fate, and; made a picathro what would otherwise be in- ■ sutferable. Mat y are the t\ collections recalled by this' anniversary of our military career, Twenty tour of our baud Ot brothers are now dead victims of diser.se; some of them victims of cruel, heartless neglect. Yonr readers would be shocked by the narration of some of their sufferings—a few of the scenes through winch they have passed. And has this been c'onllned to this company ? No. Every sick soldier in tho Confederacy can reveal sickening set ties of hospital heri r- which would chill your blood.

Mach of this sutler, eg cannot be helped— much of it might- it we bad gent’emen— men who can rightfully, boast a heart and human ; feel, lags, controlling oor hospitals. In many in stances this is true; but we have hundreds of r.arrow-souled, indifferent devils, glittering in gold lace, and disporting fine grey uniforms, who care uot if every patient in their jurisdic tional iimits dies. Nay, they would rather hear they were dead, and out of the, way ! They never see one die. The noble, patriotic youth of the South leave, ail they value ns worth liv ing ior, come, to Virginia, endure untold hard ships in the field, in bloody battles, In camp, until wounds or disease force them to seek re lief in enr Hospitals Hospitals ! In hospitals, rather, would seem a more appropriate name. Here, some of them arc fortunate enough to get good attention, and some recover; but oh ! how many enter those portals of death never to leave thtm! The red tape, ceremonial scoun drels —a milder name would be a mockery— those careless, heartless leeches, pay them a formal visit, look at their tongues, feel their pulse, and perhaps prescribe a blue pill or Do ver’s powder, or something of that sort, and leave their patients for twenty-four hours. Does not common s-.nse suggest that a patient, particularly in violent cases, must be visited fr; queutly, constantly? On their next visit they find‘many of their patients cither dead or puff recovery—sinking under a burning fever, raving like a maniac. Not the least spark of sympathy Is seen to light up their hard faces. Little care they whether the patient lives or dies, so they can get big salaries, and display a brilliant uniform. Oh, what a terrible reckon ing these demons will meet! They ought to be known to the people at home, so that they— the fathers and relatives of the victims—can visit a just punishment upon them when the war cases. If they have any sculs, they are al ready damned—they should be socially and po litically damned by the people at home. Ido not wish to be considered censorious. I am only endeavoring to expose an evil which has riven thousands of loving, trusting, confid is pearls at home, and came near murdering the best half of our noble army. If I bad the power, the worst of them—the quacks—should hang as a warning, and the' remainder should be sent home in disgrace to be conscripted, by which means they could have the pleasure of luffing a few of the sufferings lhy have wan tonly heaped upon others. Hundred* of them who know no more about medicines than a gopher, get places in our hospitals lo keep out of the ranks. As an example of tlu-ir neglect, a poor fellow had his two middle fingers- shot off For four days his hand was not dressed; it mortified, and it became necessary to take the arm off above the elbow, and for some time it was feared that, amputation near the shoulder would become necessary. Ten minutes lime devoted to am putating his shattered fingers would have saved his arm"; and enabled the soldier to eoutiuue in the service. This was a case of flagrant neglect of duty, and the truth of thG statement Is vouched for by one who I know will not make a misstatement. .The Captain of the Fauquier Artillery speaks iu the highest terms of tUa coolness and gal lantry o! the Seventeenth at Malvern HT,where they and his battery were surrounded. He says he wants no other regiment to support his bat tery in tlie hour of danger. He meets the offi cers of our regiment with a cordiality amount ing to enthusiasm, which shows how highly he appreciates their services. Although the enemy were ten times as strong, he say* he believes the Seventeenth would have fought them until crushed by weight of numbers. Gen Toombs’ brigade—in fact the division, Gen. I). R. Jones—moved this morning, whore I will not say. They have gone where they are needed, and where they will be h -ard from. Richmond is unusually dffil. There is noth ing to disturb the reigning monotony. All the mercantile fraternity have supplied themselves with very convenient articles —elastic consciences! They can now ask you §35 for a common pair of boots Without a blush. They charge you the following very moderate prices: 15 cents for common cigars ; $1 per doz*n for peaches; $3 to $3 for watermelons ; $L 25 for butter; $1 25 for chickens (as large as partridges,) &c., &e. And what is strange, the markets are fall. Dry ‘Goods scarce. * V. A. S. I* ’flie Yankees and fire Buvuuuali Rams. The Yankee Press North and the troops at Port Royal are bn their heads about a fleet of rams, which the irrepressible rebels have been fitting out in the port of Savannah. Tho whole thing is a profound puzzle to them; one mo ment they believe and tremble, aUd the next they don’t and shout for joy. They will find out to a certainty one of these days. We extract from the Iletald’s correspon dence : Hilton Head, S. C , Aug. 4, 1802. REPORTS FitOM CONTRABANDS. The latest intelligence from the ram is of questionable truth. Three negroes, who came direct from Savannah, report to Col. Barton, at Pulasßi, that tee Fingal is-a failure. 1 bey pro fess to have Seen ou hoard of her and know all about her. They say her bull is unseawoyby, that her engines will not work, and that her guns cannot tie elevated. They represent her as in every way an abortion. THE RAM STILL EXPECTED. Af. the very hour these “ highly intelligent ” contrabands were rehearsing their narrative, the Fingal was in sight o! Pulaski, under full luad ot steam, plying up and down Ihe Savan nah river. The negroes nndoubtedlv came at the bidding of their masters, and their story is i.eyond question intended as a decoy to allay defensive preparations on our part. These rumors have had the tffec-t somewhat to alle viate the fevor of excitement, into which we were suddenly thrown; but Admiral Dupont still awaits and still expects the Fingal. His own information is positive and conclusive. To the same.polut we copy the following edi torialfrom the Times of the 9ch: Peril to Ouit Troops in South Carolina Our special correspondents with the army and navy on the coast of South Carolina and G gia, send us highly exciting accounts, which we print this morning, of tho extreme peril of our troops and ships under command of Gen. Hunter and Admiral Dupont. It seems that Lite great ratn at Savannah, ou which the rebels have been at work for a long time, is complet ed, and ha* oi late been frequently in sight from the wails of Fort Pulaski, moving about i.udi r an easy head of steam ;• she threatens to come down, run past Fort Pulaski, destroy our fleet at Hilton Ilead and thereabouts, and oper ate against our works and o'ur troops on the sea islands. If she succeeds ih crushing our wooden gunboats—as all onr past experience With iron clad rebel rams shows she is likely enough to do—the rebels will have obtained an , unmolested crossing for tlis rafts which they are known to have been bu ily building of late in every creek and bayou along the shore; and our well posted correspondent thinks they will in all human probability be enabled to wrest baek from us every foot of ground now under the Union flag in ‘South Carolina aud Georgia. It la, the opinion of those best ioformed t' at the Savannah ram is only delaying the begin ning of her work until the large rebel land force, massed on the railroad at points not-far 'distttM from Hilton Hea- 1 , Is in readiness to cross foyer and co-operate with her. It is ft disgraces to us that they should have been allowed for a moment to euter.rdn such lioffes, or to bejgn the working out .of such a project A .-.n..!- iron-clad fla, ou our side down there, would put our position out of pyrii, and it may be, would save us of men and millions of property. Is there any reason under Heaven tjby we should not be able to razee old ships, ‘ plate them With rail road iron, put a enou' on then?, and send them forth to battle, as well as the rebels ? Js there an v cause that we should not be able to build two such concerns to their one, or ten to their one ? When we knew they were at work plating the Fingal. wlnit hindered ns from plating two Fingals in half the time ? It makes no matter now what hindered us,: hut if the Navy Depart ment have any sort of an iron-clad floating thing ready, or half ready they had better de - patch it to' Hilton Head before wc hear of furih ; er disasters. It appears that this ram Is quite a different af fair from the Savannah‘‘Ladies’ Gunboat,” of which we Wave heard more or less for a year ; past. It's the British steamer Fingal. which ran [the blockade laden with arms iu the Spring, ; now razeed and thoroughly mailed, so as to be j impenetrable to shot, iiu! mounting fourteen gun*, and before which our wooden vessels ! down there will be but playthings. She is not ■ a mere scarecrow ; for some of our ships have be.n close enough to her to de-cribe her pretty ! minutely, aud their observations are furthen j confirmed by other equally indubitable evi dence. j, Of course the diseoveryt>f the danger they were. in. ba* caused considerable commotion ! among the officers aud men of both the army | aud navy stationed in the vicinity. The navy Is bu*v prvpsring for defence as Best it may— I though really what preparations on its pan are ' worth anyth'!'g? We may be assured that our [ t irs will ii :i;t to the last, and will ' never sur !render;” but wish the recent re< ird of the Manassas at t Arkansas before them, they must look opod the struggle as desperate. General Hunter and his troops are hard at work forti fnt'K and nuking a poss ble preparations to meet the roU-‘*s ou laud, if they succeed in ef fecting a lauding ; and we may be sure that his troops, both white and black, will see bloody work before they succumb to any force, however formidable. But he has lately been weakened by the withdrawal from his' com uund of bi- be*' Generals and most experi enced troops; and hi* situation is one of ad 'ted anger The p-rii is very great and imminent.

Butler King's Plantation The Colony of j Frenchmen—Distribution of Clothing— Preach I ing to the Ijryal Blacks—Baptism of tie Chil dren,—Of the < hivairy amt Common leople — M rriage in the Mansion. [Correspondence of the 1?. Y. Tribune.] St. Sumond’r, Ga., July 10, 18G2. This Island is about twelve miles loDg, and three wide. It. contains twelve plantations, and had about 1,200 slaves. T. Butler King, one of the arch Rebels, and among the first Commissioners to Europe to secure foreign recognition of the Southern Confederacy, has a beautiful plantation on the south west side, and near the light-house. Ho had 150 negroes. The old cabins for his people were very inferi or and uncomfortable. Back from the shore, some two miles, he has a row of cabins, built of shells and lime, far surpassing, for neatness and comfort, anything I have yet. seen in the South. The houses are 18 feet by 48 feet, with a wail partition and chimney in the centre, ma king two apartments. Each of them is divided by a plank ceiling, into two rooms. The “loft” makes a very comfortable room. The floors are good, and the apertures for light atjd air large. 1 here are six of these double houses, each about lour rods distant from the others, ard designed to accommodate twelve families. Around all, and between them, is a row of beautiful shade trees ot live oak. The planta tion of Pierce Butler is also on this island. He had, it is said, 450 slaves. Nowhere, however, can be found such accommodations for the slaves as are found on King’s plantation. At the takiDg of Hilton Head, the Rebels had 15,000 troop3 quartered here, protected by a strong masked battery near the light-house. On hearing of the terrible destructiveness of our gunboats at Hilton Head, they immediately abandoned this island. All the people forced their slaves to follow them. The island had Been almost without an inhabitant for two months, when the naval officers took possession of it. About forty of the former slaves have found their way backhand by the friendly aid of our naval officers, some 150 more, after encounter ing, in mauy instances, almost i> .redible hardships and sufferings, travelling oy night from 10 to 100 miles, wading swan ps, swim ming many rivers, not unfrequently fired upon by Rebel pickets, succeeded in reaching, ex hausted and ragged, this friendly island. The colony has been under the exclusive care of the Navy, and has thus far paid its own way. ,(Japt. Goldsborougb, of the Florida, in com mand of this station, aided by Copt. CodVn, of the Mohican, has directed the labors oi the people. They have gathered 25,000 pounds of cotton, planted 150 acres of corn, and' many acres pf vegetables of various kinds. A school of fifty scholars has been sustained, being taught by one of the marines from the gun boat Flo.ida, Mr. Edward Herron, of New York. He had but one spelling book for the entire school for two months. We had for tunately brought a good supply for him. The children presented every shade of color, from apparently fair white to true black Their pa rentage embraced the lowest type of the Atri can and the highest type of Southern chivalry. There were sons and daughters of honorable (?) Senators, Generals, Commodore.-, merchant princes, and lordly planters. On Saturday, with the aid of Capt. Goids berough, we distributed among the destitute seven barrels of clothing sent down by the Na tiopal Freeman’s Relief Association. Lan guage utterly L..is to describe properly the ex tent and urgency of the wants of this people. Could the friends io the North, who have generously supplied wardrobes, witness the eagerness and thankfulness with which even one garment is received, and hear the “Go 4 bless you, mas’r” showered upon us, and thefi see how many are obliged to go away in their poverty, without anything, they would not, eould not, miss the blessing promised by our Bvionr, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The number on this island will soon reach, in ail probability, a thousand. Who will furnish garments for the six hun dred to arrive in their destitution ? Captain Goldsborough announced to all the people on Saturday that there would be preach ing at 4 o’clock on Sabbath afternoon, and to be followed by the baptism of children. In the morning we preached on board the Florida. At 4 p. m. the congregation assembled in front ot the mansion of T. Butler King. The olive, o ik, mulberry, and cedar cast their cooling shadows over the people ; while all around, the fig trees, the bananas, the oleanders, the pome granates, by their ripe lruits or gorgeous flow | ers, enriched the scene. Our pulpit was the j steps of the mansion. On our right sat Capt. S.; while in the rear, upon the verandah, were some ten or twelve naval officers. Iu front was my congregation, some silting iu chairs, some on boards, ele.yated by Waxes, but most of them sitting on'the sweet, clean grass. All ia ture seemed to have don* the best to make; lie ! hour and place delightful and impressive. One | hymn was sung, and being lined, mo3t of the | congregation joined in singing. It was heav enly music, such as angels hovering around might enjoy. Prayer as offered, and one text j announced This was in Ezra 9—B, 9. We beg our readers to turn lo it. As tho Lord is wit ness, there was free speech, a free pupit, in Georgia on that occasion. We take no credit to ourselves, however, for while we had the Lord on our side, we had also, lying out in the Sound before ns, the Florida, Taut Jones, Mad gie, Darlington, &c., on whose decks were some thirty black dogs of waT, whose barking and bite had driven the Rebels away, ar.d added no little of the grace of boldness to us. But the poor colored man heard ihe truth, “the full Gospei,” as many testified. But a richer scene was yet to ensue. When the call for parents to bring forward their chil dren for baptism was made, the numbers great ly surprised tis. Ail were arranged in tw,o rows, beginning at the step3 of the house and extend ing down each side of the broad and beautiful walk leading to the front gate. Oa our right; then a mother with so many of her children stood a lather and mother, with five children as she could rescue from slavery ; and then, per haps.a father, with the two or three children, and their grandmother, in the place of the poor mother, who had been sold. Oa the other side were children presented by relatives or stran gers, the parents beiDg sold or serving in the Rebel army. As we passed through the solemn service of baptizing these children in the name of the Father, Bon, and Holy Ghost, from our inmost soul went up the prayer that not only might every one be a true soldier of the Cross, but also that every one might belong to the army of Freedom. Fifty two children were dedicated to the service of God and Freedom on that occasion. These children were of all shades f color, aud tt was truly affecting and sicken ing to hear, as we did, such and similar re marks concerning some of the children. Hop ing some, good may follow from it, we give a few specimens : “Did you observe that pretty girl, Jane ? She is the daughter of Senator -—“And John, that smart flaxen-haired boy, presented by that tall white woman ? That is the son of Mr. , a merchant of New Yoik. There were some twelve or fifteen children, who have a most mortifying history, as regards • their geneology. “Be ye sure your sins will find you out” is a truth notf as well as in the days ot Muses, and If so, who can tell how many houses, North as well as South, will yet be visit ed with plagues worse than those that fell on the Egyptians. Sod is lifting the veil that has long covered the wickness of this land We find most singular decisions among the churches —decisions that would as-, touish some Nottheru churches. Some rule must be laid down, s>nd enforced with kindness and discretion, it i* very important that all who are livi-g together by common Consent, bav.ng beer, deprived, as many have, of the le gal forms of marriage, should reaffirm their marriage vows and receive a certificate of the j Si.rae, au ! that none should enter this sacred relation hereafter until they can be duly and legally martied By a minister or magistrate. : The people almost universally express regret that proper formskot marriage have, in any in stance, been dented them, and not only are ail such ready to ratify their marflage vows, but thove v. is in so many desire to have it done in the iu et public and solemn manner, as this seem* to guard, by its increased facredness, against a dissolution, by future demons of slavery. ’ M.

The Enemy's Movement on James River.— The Petersburg Express hears trom a source entitled to the highest credit that McClellan is evacuating his position at Berkeley, steady re ports of which have been in circulation for some days past. The recent movements on Malvern Ilill and the pretended permanent occupation of C 'ggin’s Point aud Maycox, are now knowu to have been mere feints to cover his evacuation. A party who was recently in McClelian’s army says the parties who are throwing up for tifications or the opposite side of ihe river have never exceeded fifteen hundred or two thousaud, and laborers and soldiers are changed every day, a fresh party goirgover in the morn- Uig, and'those who went over the previous day immedia ely returned. It is considered a sort of execr-iuu to cross the river, and the south back has been dcelared-by the Yankee surgeons the healthiest. The citizens of Prince George and Charles City have been largely robbed of negroes and other property.—| Richmond Dispatch, 14th. The Secret Expedition.— The Charleston Courier propounds the following questions : May not the secret expedition spoken of ia the telegraphic column be destined lor some point not far from Charleston ? May not a certain river in the State-of Georgia be the theatre upon which these picked men design to operate ? We can only say, let them come on. We are eady for them on all the rivers of Georgia.

Day before yesterday she first came under the fire of Pulaski. She was feeling her way, ap parently unmindful of the shot trom our heavi est guns. Of course the intelligence was not long in reaching Hilton Head. From that mo ment such preparations as we have been able to make for a proper reception have been in progress. The heaviest of our transport steam ers have been placed uuder the orders of Ad miral Dupont. Gunboats have been stationed at each approach, and new signal lines have placed tiff in in instant communication with headquaiters. We shall know when the ram passes Pul ski what direction she takes, and what her e 'dent purpose is, long before we see her. Meanwhile the rebels are concentra ting at Bluffton, at Hardeesville and at Gra hanjsviile. It is apparently their plan first to destroy our fleet, and then to move the Fingal around to Seabrook, and there cover the land ing of their forces. How the Admiral proposes to meet the Fin ga! it is not proper for me to reveal. It is suf ficient for me to stale that he believed at once in the impregnable nature of the craft-, and in the reckless daring of her commander. Wheth er in the event ot her advent —he will remain on the rudderless, helpless Vermont, which at present is his flag ship, or betake himself to someone of the steamers in port, I do not know. Ido know he thinks that unless some other means than those now at his disposal are supplied there is dire disaster in store lor him. To-night every transport has its fires lighted and steam ready; all are living oa spring cables, ready to move at a moment’s notice. Ail ci vilians have been placed on shore, and to each man remaining on board has been given a life preserver. The gunboat Conemaugh, one of the new “double-anders,” lies quietly down the channel.

M, Hyanos, Wife of the Lieutenant Governor of the State, p issed on the street a number of Yankee oificers sitting in a doorway as she went by. One of them arose and followed her a few sips, and, arresting her progress by placing himself in front of Ik r, told her that she had omitted to bow in passing. She attempted to avoid the ruffian, when be re pealed his remark, and asked her if she had not read Gea. Butler’s “Order No. 28,” with refer ence to the treatment of Union officers and soldiers with respect. Endeavoring to pass the fellow, he threw his arm round the lady’s wisest, and pressed his foul lip3 upon her face. As the villain released her fronr his embrace, the Southern lady coolly drew a pistol and shot him through the body, so that he tell dead at her feet in the insolent, flush of his cowardly tri umph over the insulted virtue of a feeb'e and unprotected woman. - Another of the officers immediately arose, and approaching the noble and courageous | lady, took her by the arm and told her, so that the other Federals could hear, that she must accompany him before Gen. Butler. He imme diately placed her in a cab and drove away—but not to the Beast’s quarters. He directed the cab out of the city and through the line of sen tries —and further on still, until beyond the reach of the tyrant’s outposts. The act of the heroine had made a hero of the witness. He told her that he considered her act justifiable and noble, and that in a moment he bad de termined that she should not be sacrificed to Butler’s vengeance, and adopted the expedient by which he had rescued her. He continued to escort her on her journey through the coun try until they arrived in' the Southern lines at Camp Moore, when he delivered hitj)3ell up to the Confederate authorities, to be dealt with as a prisoner or o herwise. So ends this heroic and dramatic incident of the war. Mrs. Ilyama has set a lofty example for Southern women, and the gallant gentle man who delivered her ha 9 shamed its army and the whole North. We trust he has re nounced forever the service of the oppressors, and that a rank equivalent to his deserts may reward him in ours.—i Mobile Adv. Counterfeits —Counterfeit $5 Confederate notes, recent green colored issue, have made their appearance at Atlanta. The Confederacy describes them as follows : No one need be deceived by the counterfeit. It is a botch. The vignette—intended for a likeness of Mr. Memminger—is very poor, and, instead of being deep black, is very pale, and the hues very rough. The words “Confeder ate States of America,” which, in the genuine, are deep black and very finely executed, are also very pale in the counterfeit, and miserably executed. The statue oti the right hand end ol the bill is a wretched botch. The green on the bills is paler than on the genuine The three circles ia the engraving on the left hand end of the bill have, in the genuine, the words ‘ live” in very small letters, several times, in two lines in each circle. These words "fun" are notin the counterfeit. Then, the signatures to the bill are engraved— not printed—and is on shabby paper. ’ Another New Ram. —The New York Herald contains a letter from Hilton Head regarding a new ram which it says the Confederates have constructed at Savannah, called the “Fingal.” The correspondent says: The new gunboat is fully armed and manned. She has been altered from the British steamer Fingal, and is said to be a formidable engine of destruction, carrying two ICO pound rifled gnus, 10 inch Columbiadg, four 50 pound rifle guns, and two 24 pounders for grape and can nister. She resembles the Merrimac in shape and form, with a massive beak at either end. Our troops are preparing to receive her. The plan of the rebels is said to be first to des 'roy our fleet, and then move the Fingal to Seabrook, and there cover the landing of their forces. Meanwhile, they are concentrating tbeir land forces at Bluffton, Hardensviile and Grabamviile Confederate Soldiers Shot.—.We are in formed by a gentleman direct from Middle Ten nessee tiiat tnree Confederate soldiers, two dis charged, and the other a wounded Georgian, were recently shot at McMinnville, by order of Bull Nelson, the Federal General at that post, as a retaliatory measure against the bushwhack ers of that county. There was no proof impli cating these unfortunate men in the transac tions that the Federals complain of. I t here no tueaifs of retaliation against such Uagrau| disregard cf the rules ot civiliz 'd warfare ? [Chattanooga Rebel, Hkh.

Nelson’s command, on Edisto Island, brought to the city Sunday after noon, bv the Savannah Railroad train, two Na val officers of the Uuited States steamer Mo hawk, captured bv the “Rebel Troop,” Capt. Jenkins, on Saturday. The officers captured are Acting Chief Engineer Carpenter, and Master’s Mate Hornsby, both of the Mohawk. They had landed from'tbe steamer to get some fruit, when they were discovered by the “Rebel Troop,” who had been sent out by Gen. Nel son on a scouting expedition. Hornsby at t; rapted to escape. Ten shots were fired at him. He was wounded ia the left hand and surrendered. Th.e prisoners have been placed in jail in care of Mr. Milligan, preparatory to their de parture for Richmond, under the late cartel. [Char, Courier, 18th. Deserters —lt is really astonishing; to be in,ld the number of deserters from the Federal rmy now stationed ia our neighborhood.— Thev arrive dai y by ones, twos, threes, and in squads. And a rumor was prevalent on the streets yesterday that Gen.

The gallant feat performe 1 by Captain Wm. M. Hszzird, and nine leave spirits uudsr hm command, deserves the special commendation of the Brigadier General commanding. With this handful ot men Captain lUzzird penetrated an I. la id entirely occupied by the cr my, with the surrounding waters in the pv-ssesslo; of his gunboats, and succeeded in inflicting heavy loss upon him against the most overwhelming odds killin'" and wounding probably many times more than his own entire command, and finally bringing off all his men without i jury to a : n gle. one—a feat, which for enterprise and during, cool courage and skilful management fas not been excelled in the history of this or any i.-ih: r war.

The Way Primus was Captured.—General Prluce (Fed.) rede np near the 80th Virginia, and enquired whether that was his bt igad'e, when Private <J. Thomas, a lad about 18 years of age, ordered him to dismount, or he would soon sea whose brigade it was. The General dismounted and delivered his sword to General Taliaferro. It is said that he demanded his re liase in accordance with the cartel for the ex - change of prisoners, but the demand was not accorded to. The enemy were commanded by Msj. Gen. Williams, and before our men were ionne:! in line ot battle, they attempted to make a charge, .and advanced t-> within twenty feet of the 31 brigade, when they reedved a-‘volley from our men which tent them skedaddling in utter cun fusion, numbers of them leaving their arms on the held. Shortly afterwards, ’ ,: ;u onr men were scattered, their cavalry made a charge, but nearly every saddle, was emptied b.forc they reached our lines.—[Rich. Enquirer. Brig. Gen. Prince —This officer, who was captured by cur forces in the fight at b.-.nth w stern Mountain, on Saturday !* s% is .-.a offi cer of the old U. S. Army. In the .Mexi.-::n war he acted as Adjutant General of the brigade commanded by Gen. Sterling Price, who-ce >u fidence and esteem he possessed. When the present war broke out Prince was a Captain of Dragoons, at Fort Leavenworth, and r.Uer- I wards became commandant of that post,. In j his intercourse with the people of Missouri ; and Kansas he is represented to have acted i with gentlemanly courtesy, and had the respc t j of those who opposed the policy or his govern | ment. Such was lilr leniency towards the ! Confederates in Missouri, that he incurred the | susj ici-.ii ait ;f ill-will of such tyrants as Siegel, | Lane, &e. These fact? we obtain from an ofli-.

A Refinement of Barbarism not Known I to our Aboriginal American Tribes. —The I medical practitioners of Northampton county, j in this Slate, have refused to take out lleensa j coupled with aa “oath of allegiance.” under the sham government of Pierpmit, and decided to continue their ministrations nniorg life sick “free of charge.” Their b rolcnt mi aiioa soon became known tote, military Gov ernor of the Peninsula, and was as speedily followed by aP order of prohibition, affixing the penaltyof imprisonment to any phystciau who should administer a dose of physic to his sick friends. A quintessence of cruelty un written ia civivilized history. [Richmond Enquirer. Italy. —The accounts of Garribaldi’s visit to Marsala record an. extraordinary scene of,pa triotic excitement. Garibaldi, in the course of his speech, several times made use of the phrase, “ Rome or death.” to which the people responded each time, “Yes, Rome or death !” ! He spoke in violent terms of Napoleon, and [•said, “ We have given Nice aud Savor, and he wishes for something more. Yea, I know he has one mince ready for R .me and another for Naples.” At the banquet at Palermo, in honor of Mar quis de Mecini, Garibaldi proposed a toast, ecu - eluding with the words, “ Rome or death—but at Rome, with Victor Kmanuel at our head.” From Baltimore. —Late.advffees fr-ta Bilti tnore represent that intense ex.'Lenr t <u; • there in consequence ot the orders latt ly is • and from the War Deoartm-nt. Thousands who expected to leave the city in order to at - hi the draft, now find themselves under the diiagret - able necessity of remaining, to which they sub mit with very bad grace. Thai well-known commercial citizen, Ben Deford, has been all along one of the most, blatant advocates of a draft; but as soon as be ascertained that the measure was to be resorted to, he managed to send off his two sons, and they aim now on their way to Europe. H : ;■ “patdotifm” was not equal-to the emergency, and is but an illustration of that of thousands of wealthy men at the North. How to Pay for the Cotton Burned. — A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer pro pounds the question, how i- 1 the money to be raised to pay lor (ho cotton burned to prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy? He es imates the amount at $30,000,600, and pro poses that it be paid by a tax on thq cotton not burned. Ho contends that the burning ol so large a portion of tao crop greatly enhanced the value of the remainder, so that those who aid not burn their crops will really be no losers by the policy of the trovernraent. lie states that he is himself a .Mlssissippian and a cotton planter, and that, he did not burn his crop. Geo. N. Banders has gone, to Europe to exe cute a contract, for the' Government for the de livery of a number of iron clad War step mew. Mr. Sanders has two sons in our army—one, Louis Sanders, a lad of eighteen, in Forresi’s cavalry, great, y distinguished Ivmself at Fort Donelson aud at Shiloh, and has since been prompted to a Lieutenancy. The other, M j r Reid Banders, Brigade Quartermaster cu Gen eral Hawes’Staff! ') he ate both most gallant and chivalrous young men, and have fought their way up from the ranks. Singular Incident of the Siege of Vicks burg—Oue of the most singular ami remark able instances of random shooting we remem ber to have heard, occurred during Farragut’s run ot the blockade. Just as bis flagship, the Hartford, retched the river, midzay opposite . the city, a shell struck one of l.er guns, which, was being loaded, fair in the muzzle, and pi.- s irfg into it, exploded the charge, bun t the gun and killed the gunner.—[Vicksburg, Whig.
