Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
from the Seaboard.
Pm's Point, Camp Jackson, June 26, 1861.
Yesterday evening, at 1 o'clock, another flag of truce conveyed to Fortress Monroe a number of women and children from Norfolk, bound Northward.
The steamer Empire, Capt. Parrish, was selected for the occasion.
As much as we should be disposed to show leniency toward such persons of Northern sympathies, I think it prudent that we should look to our own interest in at once stopping all communication with so base and unprincipled a minion as we have to contend with — For our humanity and kindness we have received nothing as yet but insults.
We send their friends and relations to Fortress Monroe for them.
Our kindred and friends came to us from the North only with the escape of their lives.
They are threatened whilst in the midst of Abolltionism with imprisonment for expression of opinion; contempt and scorn are heaped upon them because they sympathize or even wish to come to the South.
In the meantime, indignities are offered the quiet and unoffending citizens of Hampton.
They are turned out of their houses; their property is destroyed; beautiful women are insulted, and we are sending flags of trude to them — showing the greatest kindness to those who revile and hate us.--While the Empire remained, five shots were discharged from the Rip Raps at Sewell's Point, but with no effect.
Let us not benefit our unworthy enemy by any more such communications.
Gorman.
