The sympathies of tho people of Yirgina are altogether with those who are fighting Lincoln, and against those who embarrass the public defence by jealous carping and ungenorous distrust.” —§ tpa A Blockade-Running Compa ny—Hu Prospects [From the London Daily News.] Some attention has been directed du ring the last few days to the rumored for-, mation of a company having for its ob ject to facilitate blockade running in the Confederate ports. A copy of the pross pectus has come, into our hands, and is sufficiently curious to call for publication. It is said that, of the present proposed capital of £200,000 ; certain firms of par ties have put down their names for ones half, but it is questionable whether any importance is to be attached to statements of this nature, seeing that —doubtless from prudential motives—not a single name is attached to the “prospectus,” and that tho “company” abstains even from stating publicly where its office is. Atlantic Trading Company ( Limited .) Capital £200,000, in £IOO share#, with power of increasing to £500,000 sterling.-—Prospectus.—The Atlantic Tra ding Company (limited) has been formed for the purchase of first-class paddle wheel steamers of light draft, great speed, and an average capacity of BQO bales of cotton which form tho basis ot the busi ness to be transacted. It is intended to employ the steamers in the Confederate States, and participating in tho large prof its attendant on this bnsiness. The prac tical experience .in the trade enjoyed by the promoters affords a guarantee of suc cess, and they are enabled to offer the additional advantage of trading with open ports, where a full supply of the finer descriptions of cotton is obtainable, foiv which the light draft of the steamers is peculiarly adapted. Arrangements are being perfected with C. »T Mcßae, Esq., agent of the Confederate States, to carry in merchandise, and to bring out on the return voyage full cargoes of wHun in exchange for supplies or for Confederate State cotton loan. The first steamer will be dispatched in April, the second and third in May, the fourth in Juno, nnd the ' Iff til In July. Tlw» waaels ave in the j hands of builders of celebrity.' the mate ! rials of the best description, with all the | modern improvements in the machinery i and the boilers which experience suggests, with a guaranteed speed, loaded of 17J statute miles per hour. ‘‘The following sketch of account shows the amount of capital required and proba ble results : Estimate : five paddle steam*- ers, <£125,000 ; outfits, £10,000; appro priation for purchase of cotton loan bonds or (and) merchandise, <£-40,000 ; reserved j for additional steamers; £25,000 : total, | £200,000.

I Total, £380,000. Allowing as above, j for only two successful trips of each ves ! sel, the profits realized will amount to ; £150,000. This calculation, however, I may be considered the least favorable one that should be taken. The line of vessels of the class to be employed by ! the company may be computed as worth five trips each, with the folkwing result : 20,000 halos cotton net in Liverpool, £900,000 ; freight earned between neu tral ports and Confederacy, £125,000 ; less working expenses, five steamers, each five trips between neutral ports and Con federacy, 25 trips, at £3,000, £75,000 ; cost, of steamers, outfit, merchandise, cot ton loan, etc., £20,000 ; profit £750,000. Brig. Gen John M. Jones. The death of this gallant soldier upon the ensanguined battlefield of Wilderness Tavern, in Virginia, is a public calamity. At the breaking out of the war, he was an officer in a United States infantry regi ment, having graduated at West Point in the year 1542. Upon the secession of his native State, Virginia, he resigned his commission in the United States service and entered the servioe of Virginia. He first served as Adjutant General nnder Magruder, on the Peninsula, and was subsequently assigned to duty with Ewell’s Hi vision, as Inspector General, with tho rank of Colonel. In that oapacity he served through the Jackson Valley cam paign, and also in the battles around Richmond.

May s.—Gen. Leo ordered G«n. Ewell to make a demonstration on the enemy’s riaht last night, during which we captured Generals Sey mour and Shaller. It has been discovered that the onomy have thrown up entrenchments along his whole front on tho Germanna road. Hi? position behind these works and the thick woods is very strong.

He had massed a heavy force; hav ing been driven back elsewhere, be mado a great efiort to hold tho cross roads as his only salvation. At 4 o’clock an effort was made to' carry this point, which was successful, but the force en gaged was too weak to hold it.

[Special to the Richmond Sentinel.] Wliy McClellan and Fremont Were Required. Hamilton's Crossing, May 3.—From Nor tliern papers of tho 30tb, and uther nnd high er authority, I learn the cause of tho.delay in the movement of tho army of the Potomac. It has transpired that when Gen. Grant assumed command of the United States urmies, he pre sented to the President that in view of the magnitude ot the trust confided to him, he lolt it incumbent upon himself by all the means in his power, aud ia particuiui he used the moral support Which the employment of General nnd F'emont, representing two great phases of public opinion, would give; he, therefore, desired permission to as sign them to duty. This was refused on a r tufl'm2: pretext, aa respects Fremnut but per emptory as to Gen. McClellan. Geu. Grant then proceeded to re-Gigunizo the armies on another liasia. He thought it best to briug several Western Generals to his aid, and dis place many who had served tinder McClellan. This has not worked eatigfactorily, and Gen. Grunt i? understood to have admitted, while satisfied with the.number and material of his fumy, ho is uneasy respecting the morale. Ho returned to Washington on Monday, there fore, with a peremptory demand for the ser vice- ri Gen. McClellan in tbo forthcoming campaign, and refuses to move tho army until his demands are complied with. He is also very urgent that Gen. Fremont be assigned to duty These facta are admitted by Lincoln's adherents The Pennsylvania Legislature has passed a i joint resolution urging Lincoln to discharga , thr- Pcnnsyhuiia troops when their time is ! out A Horhowtui Picture.— Every day car loads and sometime whole trains leave here for the North loaded with refugee citizens Citizens seeking a land of safety and peace.
