YANKEE SPIES.
We are informed that the paragraph from the
Petersburg “Express,” relative to a Yankee apv
haring been seen in this city, copied by us yes
terday, is true, except that the place at which he
was seen was the Exchange, and not the Ameri
can, and in the parlor instead of at the dinner
table. Ills name is Dennis, and in Washington
he was Seward’s chief detective. lie was re
cognized br the little daughter of Mrs.
who had been instrncied by her mother, while
.n Washington, to make herself familiar with
the faces ot snch characters. The shrewd rascal
.t seems, recognized the little girl, at the same
time that she discovered him, and when she ran
t<i give the intelligence to her mother, be disap
peared. This fellcw is remarkable tor his clever
ness and cunning, and has no doubt before this
put McClellan in possession of much that he
desired to know. The event should be an ad
monition to our own detectives and guards—and
to the people generally. Let all be on the gui
rue, and let every person who has the least at
mosphere of doubt about him, be required to
give an account of himself.— Richmond. Whig.
But what is the use of watching spies and de
tectives, if paroled Yankees are allowed to pass
through the Confederacy without a guard? A
few weeks ago these paroled Federal officers
passed through this city on their way to Rich
mond, and being, apparently, men of intelli
gence might Lave learned a great deal of impor
tance to the Government. They are, doubtless,
ine persons referred to in the following dispatch

A WORD TO CHRISTIANS
i i*. tames past we bare been a highly favored,
but most ungrateful people. Want has been
almost unknown among us, our poor being
generally able to procure an abundance of the
aecetsaiies of life. Those among us, in moderate
Circumstances, hare ever had the comforts and
many of the luxuries of life; while the wealth/
have often lavishly suirounded themselves with
fruperllu’iier*. And yet how rnauy of us, in our
heart of hearts, have thanked Gad lor these
blessings? How changed now ! We can no longer
buy from abroad. We must depend upon our
cwa Confederacy, large portions of which are '
overrun by our implacable foes; and they will
probably soon control the navigation of the Mis
sissippi, thus dividing us east and west. God
has been pleased to permit our wiuter crops to be
Cut short. Our summer crops have yet to con*
tend with drought, destroying insects, hail
storms, and other calamities, against which no
human foresight cun av&ii. If our corn
crop is a very poor one; and peas, potatoes,
aid other vegetables raised for wiutef use, prove
a failure, the most aw !ui foe with which a nation
ever contended, will stalk throagb our land in
ghastly triumph. Pestilence, burn :ng thousands
to an uoti iely grave, is not to be dreaded so
much as famine, torturing us with the cries of
«ur furnished childieu, au«i causing us to suffe
* hundred deaths
Cnribtiaa brothers and sisters, of every amour t
denomination, are you thinking' of tbese
tilings, and atrinug so to five that God will not
permit this dread scourge to fail upon us * D >
□otcor.t at yourselves with thiahiag a mercifu'
Ood will not let us sull'er He has permrtied
nations to be scourged by famine; and is there
sny reafcou why we should be exempt •
But remember, our Father heals Ilia children’s
C£»;es; aud our blessed L >rd has bid u& lo pray
Cor ’‘our daily bread.’’ Let us all humble c-ur
-elves, repent of uur sms, and consecrate our-
entirely to God Thtn let us ask “in faith,
’nothing doubting,” imploring G>»d to give us
rain in due season, and food enough for all—for
and beast.
We must come to Jesus, the Lord of life, tem
poral and spiritual. He multiplied the
and bakes, uud made a little feed a great many
Our bodies are riis care as well as our souls;
Cifc refore, dear friends, let us pray daily for aa
indant crop this summer.
Moreover, I would humbly suggest that we
4f„ akc the Ist day of July a day of special prayer
f-.r tk ; s cause, and if it is with us a day of fast
ag, ah the better.
And I .would also suggest, that we cease find
.ng fault with others—a great evil at this time, in
tt»e church and out of ft—and every one of u»
fctrive earnestly to act right ourselves. Finally,
brethren, read the fourth and fifth chapters of
“The General Epistle of James.”

THE DE3TBTTCIION OF THE VIRGINIA AND
OF THE MISSISSIPPI
VERDICT or THE COCBT OS' IKQIIKT APPOINTED TO
INVESTIGATE THE CASES.
THE VIKGINIA.
C. 8. Navy Depaetment, I
| Richmond, June 11, 1362. |
The Court of Inquiry convoked by tbe order
of this Department of the 2Mb ultimo, whereof
french Forrest, Captain in the Navv of the Con
tederate States, is President, and’which Court
convened at the city of Richmond oa the 22d dav
ot May, 1362. to investigate and “enquire into
the destruction of the steamer Virginia, and re
port the same, together with their opinion as r 0
the nocessiiy of des'ro/ing her, and particularly
ohether any, and what other disposition could
have been made of the vessel,” have touud as
follows
The Court having heard the statement read
submitted by Flgg Officer Tatna 11, was cleared
for deliberation, and, after mature consideration
adopted tbe following report.
The court, after a full and careful examination
and investigation of the evidence connected with
the destruction by fire of the Confederate States
steamer Virginia, on the morning of May 11th,
13t>2, near Craney Island, respectfully report
that it was effected bv the order and under the
supervision of Flag Officer Tatnall, after her draft
had been reduced to twenty teet, six inches and
on the representations of the pilots that, in con
sequence of recent prevalent westerly winds, she
could not be taken with a draft of eighteen feet as
high as Weatover, near Harrison’s Bar, in James’
Rirer, (whither he designed to t«ke her,} which
they previously stated they could do,
I- The.destruction of the Virginia was, in the
opinion of the Court, unnecessary at the time
and place it was effected.
11. It being clearly in evidence, that Norfolk
being evacuated, and Flag-officer Tatnall
navmg been instructed to prevent the enemy from
ascending James Kiver, ihe Virginia, with very
little more, if any lessening of draft, after lighten
ing her to twenty feet six inches aft, with her
iron sheathing still extending three feet under
Water, could have been taken ap to liog Island,
ia tbe James River, (where the channel is narrow)
aud could then have prevented tbe larger vessels
and transports of the enemy tram asoending. The
Cocrt is of the opinion that such disposition
ought to have been made of her, and if it should
be ascertained that her provisions could not be
replenished when those on hand were exhausted,
then thq proper’time would have arrived to take
into consideration the expediency or practicabili
ty of striking a last blow at the enemv or des
troying her.
In conclusion, the Court is of opinion that the
evacuation of Norfolk, the destruction of the
Navy Yard aud other public property, added to
the- Lastv retreat of the military under General
Huger, Jeavicg the batteries unmanned and un
protected, no doubt conspired to produce in the
minds of the officers of the Virginia the necessity
of her desiructton at the lime, as, iu their opin
ion, the only means left of preventing her from
failing into the. hands ot tne enemy; and seems
to have precluded the consideration ot the possi
bility of getting her up James River to the point
or points iridicated.
The Court of Inquiry, of «-hj c h Capt. F. For-,
res* s President, is hereby dissolved.
