of the New York World says the Confederates are moving northeast and southwest from Manassas, contemplating three simultaneous approaches on Washington. The Confederate pickets are stationed every five miles from Harper's Ferry to Fort roas Monroe, on the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay. [Second Dispatch.] Washington, July 30.--The Elisworth First Zouaves, of New York, have been in a state of insubordination ever since their retreat from the Manassas or Bull Run fight, on Sunday, the 21st inst. They openly revolted on Saturday last, and a regiment was ordered out to restrain them. Nine of them are now in jail for an attempt to desert from Camp Walton. Gen. Tyler, of U. S. A., and Lieut. Carter and Col. Keyes are missing. The present Chief Clerk (Cox) of the Navy has been appointed Assistant Secretary. The Douglas Democrat are impatient at having no Generals, although they are the most vigorous in favor of invasion. The President declines to answer why the Bal

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Affairs at Ashland. Cavalry Camp, Ashland, Va, July 30, 1861. Sunday having been set apart by the Provisional Congress for universal prayer and thanksgiving for the brilliant victory achieved by the Confederate army at Stone Bridge on the 21st inst., the citizens generally, together with soldiers encamped here, attended Divine services. A very learned discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Woodfin, who spoke in the highest terms of the prowess of the Southern Army, but attributed our triumph thus far to the Benign Ruler of the universe, who is ever ready to shield the weak from unprovoked aggression of the powerful. Adams' Troop, commanded by Capt. Wm. T. Martin, Lieutenants Conner, Forbes, and Green, now drilling at this place, is the best equipped and drifted corps of cavalry in the service. It is from Mississippi, and the only one of the kind from the Gulf States. It is composed mostly of young men who can wield the sabre an

als to have entered Washington city upon the heels of the fugitives the other day; does the fact that a feat apparently so improbable and certainly so hazardous might have been performed, condemn the generalship which refused to embark in such a venture? We think not. The army at Manassas is now well ascertained to have numbered less than forty thousand men. Of these, ten to twelve thousand had made a forced march from Winchester, and was almost too exhausted to go into the engagement on the 21st. They fought the battle all that day until night, and came out of it absolutely exhausted and broken down. Were these men physically capable, in that condition, of pursuing a flying enemy twenty-seven miles, and of storming works on the Potomac bristling with artillery and manned by thirty to forty thousand fresh troops? We cannot imagine an enterprise more unpromising, hazardous and chimerical than the attempt of less than forty thousand jaded men to storm works of the formidable characte

of the Raleigh Standard furnishes a graphic account of an engagement (heretofore noticed) at Oregon Inlet, on the North Carolina coast, between the steamer Beaufort, Lieutenant Duval, and a Federal steamer, name unknown. We copy a portion: On the 20th the weather was exceedingly rough and disagreeable — a stiff "sou' wester" prevailing all day — a more uncomfortable position than ours cannot well be imagined.--The wind moderated very considerably during the evening, and on Sunday, the 21st, the sun rose grandly and beautifully, seemingly refreshed by the long nap which he had taken on Friday and Saturday, the 19th and 20th.--There was a serenity and blandness in the air peculiar to Sundays the world over, and under the circumstances, doubly grateful to us. The officers of the "Beaufort" had been courteously invited on the day previous, by Col. Morris, to dine on shore, and early in the morning were busy with preparations to make a respectable appearance among the landsmen — the<
