Manassas Junction, June 3.—Three pris oners iv. re taken day before yesterday, and. as a first trophy, have been enjojed. All turned out to see tite "live Yankees " One of them had a cut oti his eye, and the Southerners remarked that they felt no pity for him, and that all three should be hung. Such treatment would, ol course, be contrary to the laws of war; but the remarks cau easily be understood, when it is considered that the men on both sides in thi- war are just as liable to responsibility as the leaders. Gen Lee arrived here a few days since and inspected the force and the locality: it is needless to observe that be was enthusiastically received All. sick and well, officers and men. lined in bis way, cheering him lustily as he rode past with start', rooking like a soldier, and proudly and gracefully sitting on his -horse, as Virginians know how to do. It is the rut ling sentiment here that, with such a General, tailuie is not mark ad in our dtctionaiy. If this provincial General lias such success, what will not, be that, of Davis . when becomes—Davis, the President aud Cirai- jection, but it may, and ought to be obviated by j ninndsi-in-C’biet, whose attire does not want to be bcoich bonnet and shawl ! Beauregard has arrived here—the little man whose name lias prestige, and seems to mean something. It 13 useless to describe his recep- IkogM in Ibt- tlangi-r. When Gov Brown's appeal was first made to ■ the patriotism of the men and women of Georgia j many good honest people believed that there could j be no possible objection to such a proposition. No one was compelled to give anything unless: they chose to uo so, but this did not satisfy the i fault-finders, they insist that the money shall be : raised by a tax : when they know that a tax can not bo levied without calling the Legislature to- ; gether, and that would cost one-third of the | I amount wanted, besides the time that would be. j s : lost, when the money is wauted now. The argu-: meats used against the proposition reveal the mo tives cf the objectors. One pnrti n objects be- j cause they will object to even thing proposed by my exhausted ener gy. The t.me of deliberation has given place to the time ot action, and I have taken up my bed j as an individual, in common with others, to match to Richmond, to meet the President of • ur now separate and independent Republic. I am ready to obey bis orders, not only with pride, pleasure, and devotion to the cause, and respect to the office he tills, but with respect and devotion to the man himself, as one who has uur luliest confidence. (Applause ) You have to meet a foe with whom you could not live iu peace. The political power and rights which were enthroned in their Cap itol, when you were united with them under the old constitutional bond of the Uontederacy have been annihilated. They have undeitaken to an nul laws within vour limits which would render laughters into an unnatural nnd unwilling union And now war is denounced noon her. An infuriate mob is upon her borders.

The sentiment of I Be entire South is with her. Men from every rank and class of society are rushing to arms begging the Government to put anv hind of weapons in their hands and allow them t" inarch to the battle field of Virginia. 11 elk you that in onr State-the little state of Missis sippi -the nmnberof men ready to tight.

[From the Richmond Enquirer, of Monday ] The Fight nt Fairfax fourt House. The enemy, on Friday morning about three o'clock, in numbers about eighty strung, entered the town ot Fairfax Court House, under the command ot Lieut Tompkins. The company was tiie United States regulars from Texas. 1 i,e enemy dashed into the town so unexpectedly that tiie Wurreutim Rifles, Capt. John Q. iMarr, had only some ten minutes to prepare for them. Tfie enemy fired nt the quartets of tiie troo pers, killing Capt. Man’ instantly, olid though near to liis command, ids death was not known until alter nine .o'clock, when his body was found; the enemy pushed on through the town. The VVarrenton HitEs tneii fotmed, under Colonel Ewell and Gov. Smith, into two platoons, and proceeded down the road after the enemy, and taking position on the side of the road, waited tiie return of the enemy. Very soou the enemy, returned in disorder, when a volley from the Rifles scattered them and caused a retreat up the road. They reformed into “fours,” anil came up in good order, when auother fire from the Rifles again scattered them, and they returned by a cross road to Alexandria. Our troops took four horses, branded “IT. 8.’’ “B ,” and killed three horses. Tiie retreating detai hmant was seen near Amiadale, with fifteen leu horses and a wagon containing wounded men. Four prisoners were taken during the fight, and nitie others are repor ted as having been found in the neighborhood during the next day, (Saturday) Five V. S. soldiers were killed. Several carbines, dragoon swords, officers’ swords, a double barrel Hhut gun and eight dragoon revolvers were picked np by om troops Our loss was Capt: Manx killed -a brave and efficient officer, the support of a widowed mother, and a most usouil citizen. He was a member of the Vir ginia Convention, and bad filled many responsible positions. Coi. Ewell was slightly wounded iu the shoulder. A member of the Rappahannock company was also severely wounded. Capt. Man 's company was badly armed, having riflesicithoiit bayonets, and had to encounter U. S. Regulars armed with sabres, j carbines and revolvers. They nobly performed their ! duty, notwithstanding there was uo officer of the com pany to command them Capt. Marr was killed be fore the company was formed, and Lieut. Shackelford was absent. Capt. Marr’s death was caused by a random shot while selecting ground upon which to form his compa ny. The darkness prevented any one seeing him fall, and his death was not known until late the next mor ning. A FIGHT IN NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA RICHMOND.

Tins expensive and probably bloody war must be sustained, or ail that is dearai d precious to us iu civil fights and fib rt.y is lost forever. Our enemies (for they force us to call them oy that name) with maddened fury are lavishing both treasures aud men by httndieds of thousands, to crush us. or a- they heartlessly term it, to ’wipe us out.' There is no lack among them either of means or of m< n of the most reckless and atrocious character, to st ruggle to prostrate our sacred rights. On a prompt and valorous resistance ou our part, hangs the tremendous issue whether we shall con tinue a free people <*r not—whether regulated lib erty shall prevail among us, or whether we shall yield tothe spirit ot anarchy and despotism which threatens to destroy the Northern states of a once j consecrated but now desecrated Union. Not only our existence as a Southern Confede racy, but humanity to four million ot slaves, in the happiest condition of which they are suscep tible, demands our most strenuous and selt-aacri- ticing energies This is really an Abolition war, oy whatever false name the North may call it, in their sophistical reasonings. The main objection offered to the plan ot the Governor to raise a voluntary contribution ot a million of dollars is, that it will be a "bonus on avarice"—the benevolent alone contributing, and oibers withholding tlieir aid A sufficient reply | would be—We must have tho money promptly , taised or our noble soldiers will suffer; and no I man deserves his glorious heritage who will hold! back in this perilous hour. It we can raise a! million of dollars by voluntary action, we wi.J j save $ Ion,nt ii m expense of a—toa.a««i. l have the Dost reason for saying that the Gov-; emor would not object to deducting from the next ; tax bill all the money paid in this way into the | j Treasury iu advance ; and I have not a doubt but : sti- h a law hi apportioning the tax rales. But whether they do or not, shall the true patiiot hes tous counties containing our largestctties, Irotn the , heavy drafts ou them to support tfie suffering tam iiies of the patriotic volunteers who are leaving them itt large numbers, ptefer another plan of ae- j tion, this should not prevent the great mass of the j counties of the State that are not so heavi'y bur j doted and taxed in tlieir benevolence, from adopt- ' mg the Governor s suggestion )o raise tlieir por ' tion of the mi lion duiitirs. Let tiro rich pour utr j their treasures, and tiro poor give according l" ! their menus, that our good cause may be amply I sustained. We must give liberally according to ' our means, or lose «-ur all. Let the whole State of Georgia act with prompt-1 and liberality, and let us solemnly observe humbling ourselves at the foot of the Throne ot Giace, and devoutly imploring the favor of Heav en on our righteous snuggle for our Ironies and firesides, aud civil and religious liberties.
