five thousand men should make so precipitate a retreat without having sustained at least this much of a reverse. Let us devoutly thank the living God for His wonderful interposition in our favor, and evince our gratitude by the exemplariness of our lives. With respect, D. H. Hill, Colonel First Regiment North Carolina Volunteers. Colonel J. B. Magruder, Commander York Line. The prisoners captured near Yorktown. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Yorktown, Va., June 25, 1861. In a late issue of your paper I notice a communication over the signature of Musketeer, about which I desire to say a word. After speaking of the detachment that was sent out by Colonel Hill from Bethel Church the Saturday before the battle of the 10th June, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lee, he says: Colonel Lee's command took one prisoner, and this was the first capture made in the skirmishes preliminary to and provocative of the battle of Bethel Church.

ntrol of the State in 1861. We have seen that the representatives of the University of North Carolina in the Confederate Congress was fair, but not extraordinarily large. We now come to the officers in the field. The highest military rank held by a University man was that of Lieutenant-General. This was attained by Leonidas Polk under a commission dated Oct. 10, 1862. Gen. Polk was outranked in length of service only by Longstreet and Kirby-Smith. He had been made Major-General on June 25, 1861; he was the second person to attain this rank, and, of the 99 Major Generals in the service, was, with one exception, the only man to attain this position without passing through the preliminary grade of Brigadier. The University had one other son to attain the rank of Major General, Bryan Grimes, commissioned Feb. 23, 1865. Of Brigadier Generals she had thirteen.

Virginia State Convention.Eleventh day.--[Second session.] Richmond, June 25, 1861. The Convention was called to order--Mr. Southall in the chair. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Duncan. [It may not be out of place here to copy a letter from Bishop McGiLL. of this city: "Richmond, Va., 22d June, 1861. "Dear Sir: --I am sensible of the honor the Convention does me in the invitation through your favor of the 21st inst. But I hope to be excused; as, besides that I am just recovering from a sickness which has kept me in my room all this week. I must plead want of experience in the functions expected from those who officiate on such occasions. If I cannot pray before the Convention, I shall continue with my people to pray for it, that God may guide and control it in its decisions and ordinances. Very respectfully, yours, "J. McGiLL, Bishop of Richmond. "Hon. J. L. Eubank, See, of Convention."] The different committees were called on for reports. Mr

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from the Peninsula. King's Mill Wharf, Va., June 25, 1861. I write you a few lines to-day in regard to the Fifteenth Regiment, formerly the Third. Four of our companies are at this place, viz: Virginia Life Guard, Marion Rifle, Henrico Guard, and Captain Atkinson's company.--Two companies (the Ashland Greys and Hanover Greys) left here Sunday; our entire Regiment is now distributed between this place and Grove Wharf, about 3 or 4 miles below here, so that in an emergency the whole Regiment could be assembled together in a short time. Our four companies here are in good health, and very much pleased with the encampment. We have a delightful time, consisting chiefly in bathing, sleeping in the shade and drinking buttermilk. This is the first glimpse of the bright side of the picture of camp life we have had since we left old Richmond; but our dream is Hable to be broken at any hour by the fierce din of strife, for such is the fortune o

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Camp Jackson. Camp Jackson, Pig's Point, June 25, 1861. I have just returned from a pleasant tour of observation to the fortifications that protect Norfolk and Portsmouth, and I can safely say that any effort or attempt that may be made by the Federalists to take these cities, or recapture the Navy Yard, will be perfectly futile, attended only with the Joss of thousands of lives. It would be absurd in the extreme to attempt any such thing. How can the Northern people expect to conquer us when they have suffered us to make such formidable preparations against their invasion? I forbear saying anything more about the different coast and land defences. In a Dispatch dated 19th inst., I noticed a very sensible letter from the pen of Captain Smith, now at Sewell's Point, to the Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, rather elegant in its language and chaste in composition. It attracted my attention from the fact that several persons

ich have arrived there at 48,845, exclusive of recruits, numbering about 2,000, and several independent companies, so that the aggregate is over 50,000, without counting regulars, marines and District of Columbia troops, the latter about 4,000 strong. If this is true, the total aggregate of troops already on that line amounts to between fifty-six and fifty-seven thousand. An engagement at Mathias' Point. The Star has the following letter: U. S. Ship Pawnee, Potomac River, June 25, 1861. This ship, commanded by Commander Rowan, accompanied by the tender, James Guy, left Aquia Creek this morning for Mathias' Point, carrying Capt. Woodbury, U. S. Engineers, and Capt. Palmer, U. S. Topographical Engineers, to make a reconnoissance there, to learn whether batteries were or were not being erected there. At 5 A. M., Capt. Rowan sent an expedition of 40 men, sailors and marines, ashore in two boats, in charge of Lieut. Chaplin and Master Blue, all under Captain Woodb

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. affairs in Floyd county, Ga. Rome, Floyd County, Ga., June 25, 1861. While enclosing another list of subscribers for the Daily Dispatch, permit me, at the special request of one of our most worthy citizens, to return to the ladies of Strasburg his grateful and heartfelt thanks for their kind and motherly attention to his son, young Mr. Johnston, a member of the Light Guards from our city, during his illness at that point. His glowing description of the hospitality of the citizens of Strasburg, and especially the tender nursing and constant attention he received from the ladies, caused his mother to exclaim, "God bless the Virginians. " We feel assured from the true and genuine hospitality of old Virginia, which has become proverbial, that thousands of Southern mother's hearts will be gladdened during the war by its practical exhibition towards their sons, should misfortune overtake them while defending the hearthstones of the mothers

nd I would also ask any one at all acquainted with the circumstances, how Lieut. Brooks could have had anything to do with this report further than signing his name to it? What did he know about the condition of the Merrimac, or her engine, or whether there was enough of her left to make a floating battery out of or not, or anything about what it would cost, or anything else about her i for he had not ever seen her, and knew nothing of her condition really. Navy Department,Richmond, June 25, 1861. Sir: In obedience to your order, we have carefully examined and considered the various plans and propositions for constructing a shot-proof steam battery, and respectfully report that, in our opinion, the steam frigate Merrimac, which is in such condition, from the effect of fire, as to be useless for any other purpose, without incurring a very heavy expense in has rebuilding, can be made an officiant vessel of that character, mounting ten heavy guns--two pivot and eight side guns
