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. The amount of each subscription has been limited to one dollar.

I visited Camp Grice, at Pinner's Point, yesterday. The walk by a near cut is about two miles. It is delightful locality, and the force there is comparatively in clover. All was quiet. Nothing of interest transpiring here.

Old Dominion.
