Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in King George county. Port Conway,Va., June 6. The roar of Federal guns, distinctly heard throughout the limits of our county in their attacks upon the battery at Aquia Creek, during three successive days of last week, has had the effect of arousing whatever of slumbering patriotism there may have been in our midst. Since the first engagement at that point, numbers have withdrawn their names from the militia roll and entered the ranks of the volunteers. A new volunteer company, raised under the auspices of E. Poinee H. Tayloe, Esq., will meet at our Court-House to-day for organization. Mr. T., it is understood, will be chosen captain. Our Potomac border is constantly menaced with invasion from the Northern forces. War steamers are continually anchoring off our shores, greatly to the annoyance of citizens resident immediately upon the banks of the river. A number of armed troops landed from one of these steamers l

The Confederate Commissioners in France. The Paris correspondent of the London Star writes, June 6th: "The ministers of the United States have hardly left Paris when the agents of the Confederate States make their appearance. Mr. William Rost has arrived, charged with an extraordinary message from President Davis to the Emperor of the French. Many Americans — It is hard to divine why they venture such an assertion — say that the Southern envoy and his friends are very sanguine as to the ultimate success of his mission. Mr. Rost is accompanied by several other gentlemen, some of whom set out immediately for St Peters burg, Prussia and Austria; and others try and engage on their side the sympathies of the manufacturers of France. Nothing is said about the Manchester men, in connection with this new mission; but it may fall strangely on English ears to be told that most of the slave-owners staying at Paris appear to be under the impression that some of these days English

From the Cherokee Nation. --The Van Buren (Ark.) Press has a letter dated Park Hill, Cherokee Nation, June 6, in which the writer says: The water courses have all been immoderately high. Capt. Pike was delayed some days by them, but finally got across the last, Illinois, on Tuesday. Wednesday, he had an interview with the Chief, Mr. Ross. This was, in every respect, satisfactory. Mr. Ross had been represented as a quasi-Abolitionist, an enemy to the South, and Heaven knows what more. Capt. Pike found him tractable, gentlemanly, and easy to deal with. It is true he had assumed a position of neutrality in the war that exists, but this is not for the purpose of holding aloof from the South, but to preserve the nationality of his people. He cannot prevent the enlistment of many of the Cherokees in our armies. There are several of them now in Capt. Lewis' company. To-day Capt. P. left on his mission to the Creeks. He will return here at a specified time — say

This arrest the Avalanches was exceedingly jubilant over, and had their counsels for summary execution been acted upon. I would not now be writing this letter. While confined in that city I was compelled to witness the enormities perpetrated in obedience to the behests of those who ruled the mob. One hour in the morning, from 6 to 7, was allowed me to stand at the window grate, and at such times their whippings and head- shavings were indulged. Here I saw, from the 27th of April to the 6th of June, eighty five men whipped and their heads shaved and forty-three hung because they refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy. And on the 19th of May last, one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies this country can beast of was stripped to the waist, thirteen lashes laid upon her back, and the right half of her head shaved, simply because she had purchased a ticket for Cairo, and was congratulating herself that she would soon be in a land of freedom.
