ions in any other quarter. His force at Cairo seems intended only for occupation.--His operations at St. Louis seem designed simply to keep down the secession movement in that State. Nowhere are his operations aggressive, looking to new acquisitions of ground, except in Virginia. This is the State most honored by his attentions. Virginia seems to be the chief object of his dread.--She is evidently regarded as the head and front of the secession movement. We are menaced at Norfolk. Hampton is taken, and Newport News occupied. The York River is constantly threatened. Ships are continually presenting themselves at Acquia Creek. The whole line of the Potomac is held under strict and jealous espionage.

From Portsmouth.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Portsmouth, June 1, 1861. There is a report here that Paschal Latinier, of Hampton, has been hanged in that village. It is said that he shot one of the ruffians of the Washington despot. I give you the rumor as I received it. It came from two independent sources — Williamsburg and another point. A subscription list has been started at the Navy-Yard towards a monument to the hero Jackson, the Virginia Protomartyr in the war of independence of 1861.

He was immediately swung up by the soldiers — Further particulars of this affair I did not learn. The trains for the past day or two have brought new accessions to our forces, and negro laborers have come from a distance to assist in the work of our fortifications. A list, I am glad to hear,
