From the Potomac. Hampton's Legion--an Experiment on the enemy — a short engagement--"Nobody Hurt"--camp incidents, &c. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp Conner, Hampton's Legion,Army of the Potomac, Oct. 7, 1861. Since I last wrote you we have advanced considerably towards the enemy — to what precise point I will not inform you, though I think the Lincolnites could, as they give it a much wider berth in passing. Suffice it to say, that we built, working day and night, a battery in double- quick time, and that one bright and beautiful morning last week the "Stars and Bars" waved free and fearlessly from a jutting point of the Potomac, where little dreamed the foe the night before a Southerner was nigh. Several war steamers and innumerable small sails were heaving around, and immediately opened upon our (then) little battery of three guns--two 12-pounders, rifled, of the Legion, and one thirty-two. The compliment was not returned by Capt. Lee until
been to make such acknowledgements by letters to the donors. I wish, also, to state that we have made a most satisfactory arrangement for the distribution of the supplies that come into our hands. Adjutant Henry Hoover has engaged to go out, without compensation, and at his own expense, and act as our distributing agent. He leaves to-day for Greenbrier river and Huntersville, with a load of boxes, in a wagon furnished by the Quartermaster at this place. He will remain in the mountains, passing from point to point, receiving the supplies shipped by us to him, and distributing them with his own hand, and to the most needy. Adjutant Hoover possesses the entire confidence of this and other communities in which he is known, and, being actuated by humane and Christian motives, will, we doubt not, be able to add much to the comfort of the sick in our mountain camps. Boxes, packages &c., may be addressed to Rev. Wm. E. Baker, Staunton, Va. Staunton, Va., Oct. 7th, 1861.

Thompson, Greensville co. Geo. H. Flournoy, Surry co. Many others, too numerous to publish. Camp Cuimis Oct. 7th, 1861. Gentlemen — I received duly yours of the 16th ult., ursing me, in the most complimentary terms, to allow the use of my name as a candidate for the Confederate States Congress, soon to assemble at Richmond, in which you inform me that I was selected with unanimity and accord — that you feel assured that the selection will give entire satisfaction, and that you can insure my election. I have delayed reply thus long, in order to act advisedly on the subject. In answer, allow me
