[for the Richmond Dispatch.]letter from a volunteer of 1846. Richmond, May 31, 1861. Nearly thirteen years have passed since I last visited your beautiful and flourishing city. Then I came a discharged volunteer, having served my country in a war with a foreign enemy. I am here now under very different circumstances. We are at the commencement of a bloody war in which many of those who stood shoulder to shoulder in fierce conflict with a common enemy, will hereafter meet as enemies, prepared to shed each the other's blood. It is useless now to rehearse the causes that led to the separation of States that composed our once "glorious Union," and the formation of the Confederate States Government. They are well known to your readers. My native State had been a prime mover in the struggle which achieved her first independence, and that of her sister States. She had stood by her Washington in the darkest periods in the revolution, and was in full force at its closing s

His party — the Whigs — going out of power the same year, he devoted himself to literary labors, having resigned his Chancellorship in September.

Gen. McClellan. Gen. G. B. McClellan, who has the reputation of being the ablest officer in the Federal Army, is a native of Philadelphia, and still comparatively a young man, having been born on the 3d of December, 1826, and graduated at West Point with the class of 1846. He served with distinction in the war with Mexico, and in 1855 was appointed a member of the Commission which went to the seat of war in the Crimea and in Northern Russia. The other members of the Commission were Col. Richard Delafield, now an officer of the Confederate Army, and Major Alfred Mordecal, of North Carolina, who some time ago resigned the Superintendency of the Troy Arsenal. A report, embodying the result of his observations in the Crimea, was made by McClellan, which added to his reputation as a scientific soldier. In January, 1857, he resigned his position in the army to become Vice-President and Engineer of the Illinois Central Railroad, which post he held for three years, when he accepted t

30th of January, 1831, he was placed at the head of the National Government, and offered half his property for the service of his country. After the terrible days of August 15th and 16th, he resigned his post, but served as a common soldier in the corps of General Romarino during the last fruitless struggles. When all was lost he made his escape, and reached Paris, where he has since resided, and busted himself for the benefit of his homeless countrymen. He was expressly excluded from the amnesty of 1831, and his estates in Poland were confiscated. "During the Polish insurrection of 1846 his Galician estates were put under sequestration by the Austrian Government, but this was removed in the spring of 1848. In March of that year he issued a proclamation urging the German representatives to unite with those of France to demand the restoration of Poland. In April, 1848, he enfranchised the peasants upon his estate of Slendaiwa, in Gallicia, and gave their possessions in fee.

Davis rebels and the ultimate organization of a Pacific republic. Liberty of the Press. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in commenting upon the recent presentment of New York papers by the Grand Jury, remarks: "There is scarcely a Republican paper in the land that did not, during the Mexican war of 1846, occupy precisely the same position that the New York journals alluded to do now. A large majority of the Republican leaders, including President Lincoln himself, were opposed to that war, and went much further against it than anybody has in the present instance! Shall they also be indicted and subject to a condign punishment for a past offence?"

She was immediately afterwards engaged at the celebrated theatre of La Scala, in Milan, where she gathered laurels from the most discriminating musical audience in the world, winning universal admiration by the simplicity and naturalness of her manner and the purity of her voice.

Fort Hatteras is a small but well constructed work, built during the spring and summer months, upon that narrow strip of sand beach which separates the various sounds of North-Carolina from the Atlantic Ocean. It commands Hatteras Inlet — an inlet which was opened in the great storm of 1846, almost 40 miles south of Roanoke Island, six miles below the cape of that name, and 15 miles north of Ocracoke, and is distant from the main land (Hyde county) about 20 miles.

Major-General G. W, Smith. --The President has confirmed the important commission of Major-General upon Major G. W. Smith, late Superintendent of Streets for the city of New York. General Smith is a native of Kentucky; and was one of the distinguished class of cadets that graduate at West Point in 1846. He graduated at the head of his class, and beat McClellan for the highest honors of the institution. He went into the Corps of Engineers of the army, and in that capacity served through the Mexican war, winning a higher reputation in army circles than any other officer of his grade in the service, and was brevetted a Major. By the universal attestation of all the old army, he is a man of extraordinary abilities. Gen. Smith goes up to Manassas this morning, and will take command of the army heretofore commanded by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Gen. Beauregard retaining command of his own. Gen. Johnston will assume general command of the two columns. It may be safely said that these
