Captain Johnston undoubtedly mistook the Lackawanna for the Haror nearly half an hour, to which he replied: Well, Johnston, if you cannot do them any further damage you had This is the United States steamer Ossipee.

[for the Richmond Dispatch.]credit to whom credit is due. On the day of the celebrated battle at Manassas, I noticed several distinguished gentlemen from the Southern States, who took a prominent part in the fight, and who did not belong to the service. Among others whose gallant conduct deserves notice, was that of Col. Jack Brown, of Talbot county, Georgia. He joined the Mississippi Regiment, near the battle-field, as it was going to the relief of Gen. Johnston; and seizing a gun from a wounded soldier, he was soon in the thickest of the fight Being a splendid marksman and a man of remarkable coolness, it is not too much to say, that he caused several of the Hessian scoundrels to "bite the dust." He received two slight wounds, one in the left foot, and the other in the hip. He was at last knocked down by the concussion of a cannon ball, which passed near his head, and was reported among the killed. I am happy to say, that he is now well, and eager and anxious for another fr

s follows: On the 27th of April last, Staite presented, at the Auditor's office, what purported to be an order of the Circuit Court of Giles county, allowing Jas. D. Johnston, Commonwealth's Attorney, $50 for services, which, being signed J. W. English, clerk, and endorsed on the back "James D. Johnson," was paid to Staite by Mr. ril, when the Court did not sit till the following May. In June, (the order having been previously entered,) was copied by the clerk, and really endorsed by Jas. D. Johnston, who sent it on for collection through Ro. H. Maury & Co. Payment was refused till Mr. Johnston made the requisite eath that the signature purporting to be hMr. Johnston made the requisite eath that the signature purporting to be his on the bogus order was a forgery, when the amount was settled. Other forgeries have been detected, which are charged to Staite, he having received the sums called for by the several papers, and receipted to the Auditor for them. Among the number are three that purport to be orders of the Circuit, Court of Mercer county, o

atteries swept them like chaff before the wind, their long and splendidly- formed lines fairly melting away. Yet the tremendous force before us seemed not to diminish, and every inch of ground was contested with sullen and determined force, our brave troops fighting with renewed energy and vigor. Being parched with thirst and almost exhausted, I ran down to what appeared to be a branch or mud hole, and drank copiously of the muddy water, and was just returning to my regiment when I met Gen. Johnston, who inquired of me to what regiment I belonged. I told him. He then inquired how Gen. Jackson's Brigade was getting along. I told him we were fighting bravely and well, but against large odds, and needed help. He at once said, go join your regiment and tell them to hold their position, and in a few moments I will send reinforcements to their aid. I hurried back to my regiment with a lighter heart than I left it. On reaching the top of a hill, I could see in the direction of Mana

Herald. The Herald knows it to It knows that the pitiful loan of five millions offered the other day could not be negotiated even in New York on any terms. What should John Bull trust the Yankee Government for? Where are its means of raising revenue, now that it can be longer plunder the Southern States? "All that is wanted," says Sawney, in contin- uation, "to rain the rebel chiefs, is to make the blockade sure." If we may be allowed to say so, this is begging the whole question. How is the blockade to be made sure? There's the rub. But even could it be, by any possibility, made sure, it would not have the effect desired. The blockade of all our ports will not prevent Johnston and Beauregard from driving every Yankee that ventures to poke his nose out of Alexandria into the Potomac. It will not prevent them from marching upon Philadelphia, or from consigning to the flames the modern Sodom, equalling it in fate with its prototype, which it greatly surpasses in infamy.

lthy citizen of Baltimore, but now doing business in Richmond, in compliment to whom the company is named the "Lanier Guard." The young men composing this company left Baltimore at great personal risk, as the city was occupied by the Federal troops at the time of their departure. The Lanier Guard was mustered into the 18th Regiment of Virginia Volunteers for active service at Harper's Ferry, on the 28th of May, since which time they have been actively engaged in all the movements of Gen. Johnston's army. The Guard was in that portion of the regiment which arrived upon the battle-field at Bull Run at the same moment with His Excellency President Davis. The parting of Col. Taliaferro from this company was certainly an affecting scene, He was an officer whom his men delighted to honor; the large tears rolled down their determined and bronzed features, as they shook the gallant Colonel by the hand for the last time. If ever a commander enjoyed universal respect and esteem, sur

Forgery case. --The case of Opie Staite, charged with the forgery of James D. Johnston's name, was again before the Mayor yesterday, but was continued. It will be remembered that the accused got a sum of money from the 1st Auditor by manufacturing a false order of court for an allowance granted Johnston as Commonwealth's Attorney in one of the Western counties, and drew the money after signing J.'s name to the order, giving his own receipt for it.

the invasion of that town by the Hessians, and it seems that they have more recently forded the river and renewed their depredations upon the property of unoffending citizens. The rumor is that the heavy rains in the early part of the present week caused a great rise in the waters, and the Hessians, to the number of 1,700, found it impossible to get back to the Maryland side.--some of the citizens, thinking the opportunity for a coup de main too good to be lost, dispatched messengers to Gen. Johnston, informing bird of the situation of affairs. That officer, it is alleged, sent a body of troops, consisting of the 17th and 18th Mississippi, and the 8th Virginia Regimen, and the Richmond Howitzer Battery, under command of General Evans, to Lovittsville where the Federals were attacked. The result is said to have been that 300 of the enemy were killed and the remainder captured, while on our side the loss was six killed and nine wounded.
