n the Confederate States by the Administration and its friends — it was the legitimate and inevitable result of the "hair-brained and ruinous policy" adopted by Mr Lincoln and sustained and upheld by "the enemies of the country" who elected him; and upon his head and upon their heads will rest the responsibility, and against them will the blood of the slaughtered thousands who sleep the sleep of death at Manasseh out forever. At the date of Mr Lincoln's inauguration he found commissioners from the Confederate States Government awaiting his accession to power to propose negotiations for a peaceful solution of the questions in controversy between the seing for their invasion, and they made ready to repulse them They could have taken Washington city within twenty days after the proclamation of war was issued by Mr Lincoln; but they preferred to act only on the defence The Administration prepared for the invasion of Virginia with great deliberation. The largest and best equi

y lay around thickly strewed. Here, on a space of 30 acres, I counted about 80 head horse; not, however, all the enemy's, but some of them our own. Here I found the body on Lieut. Ramsey, with his delicate and well chiseled features. I found him out by his name on his drawers. "Lieut. Ramsey, U S. Artillery," and I suppose he was the son of Capt Wm Ramsey, of the U S. Navy Some old army friend was having him buried, and I could not help wishing he had died in a better cause than that of Abe Lincoln. Immediately in this neighborhood was placed one of our batteries, commanded by Col. Imboden, of Augusta county, which a regiment of New York Zouave, in extended line was marching to out flank This Col. I. E. B. Stuart, with the quick eye of a true soldier, saw, and immediately ordered Capt. R Welby Carter, of the London, Volunteers, to leap a fence with about 35 of his company, and charge the Zouaves through their centre. In doing this, the company had to receive the fire of the whole

ctory without fighting a battle. Mr. Curtis, (Rep.,) of Iowa.--Who upon this side, what American citizen, has impugned the character of Gen. Scott, and where is the man now who is not willing and anxious to march under his banner? Who could hope at this time to succeed that great General, who never lost a battle in the service of his country? Mr. Richardson.--I will reply--Gen. Greeley--(laughter)-- who, I think, ought to be placed at the head of all your Generals appointed by Mr. Lincoln. He ought to be immediately dispatched to Richmond, and according to his own account he could do it.--He has presumed to command Gen. Scott, and to direct the whole movements of the army.--If we could get rid of such men we would be doing a service. That is my opinion. I give it you, and charge you nothing for it. (Laughter.) Mr. Curtis.--It cannot be said that I, or any of my partners on this side, disapproved of the conduct of General Scott. Mr. Richardson.--I have not char

any have voluntarily given them selves up to the Confederates. All business here is suspended. Many of the houses have been taken as quarters for the remnants of the "grand army," and our principal hotel was yesterday seized for a barracks Lincoln, Seward, and two military characters, visited this city yesterday, and manifested their usual indifference and cheerlessness, though witnessing the misery and wretched conditions of their hirelings. The soldiers are very much disgusted with e at home did you ever sing 'Carry me back to Old Virginia?'""Yes, often.""Then, never do it again, for if I was a thousand miles from Old Virginny, I'd never want to see it any more" I had the honor of seeing the entrance into the town of "Lincoln, Seward and McDowell," in an open barouche, followed by the President's Life Guard. The pressure of business allowed them but a ten minutes visit, and then they whirled away. I could not but contrast this picture with that I had seen of the wo

astrous affair at Bull Run, relieve General Scott of the responsibility, and clearly fix it upon the shoulders of the President. General Scott does not say so, but the inference is clear that his better judgment was overruled by the wishes of Mr. Lincoln. But how was Mr. Lincoln inveigled into those masked batteries? By this insane war cry of our anti-slavery Jacobin club, of "Onward to Richmond;" by the incessant pressure upon him of such abolition hot-heads in Congress as Sumner, Lovejoy, Mr. Lincoln inveigled into those masked batteries? By this insane war cry of our anti-slavery Jacobin club, of "Onward to Richmond;" by the incessant pressure upon him of such abolition hot-heads in Congress as Sumner, Lovejoy, Trumbull, Chandler, and others of that school, and by the ceaseless clamor of such Jacobin organs as the New York Tribune and Times. "Honest Old Abe" must now perceive that they have been leading him on the broad highway to destruction, and that General Scott's grand and infallible plan for a short war has thus already been destroyed. [from the New York Daily News.] The mischievous person who presides over the columns of the Daily Times has by some blunder managed to tell the public so

The London Times on Lincoln's Message. New York, July 29. --The London Times, (brought by the Africa,) says that President Lincoln's Message confirms the impression that his Inaugural produced, and that was that after an infinite loss of life and humiliation on the part of the North, the result will be the recognition of the independence of the Southern Confederacy.

ry hordes O r Southern lands shall never take; Trust in your God!--wield firmly your swords, The eagle falls when bit by the seats. Head not their threatenings and curses dread! But by inch their fell march withstand; Fear naught! with gallant Ler at your head, And Jefferson Davis to take command. Fight for the land of the Jasmine and Rose, Of the feath'ev Palm and Myztle bright. Where the pure Magnolia proudly gro For the beautiful boath oh! nobly fight, But fight still more for your native State! Where mothers, sisters, and lov'd ones live; A slave's hall he'r be her fate, For dear Virginia your life-blood give. Wave aloft you fight in graceful folds! All wait for a group of undimm'd stars; Instead of the "Stripes" which Lincoln hods We've blazon'd our's with red and white Bars. Grass tight its staff and bear it on high, id roar of cannon and clash of steel; Dismantled or broken it never shall lie, Fort might the foe shall feel, Port Royal, Caroline Co.,Va.
