Virginia. The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Courier, pays an eloquent tribute to the sacrifices and heroism displayed by Virginia, which has chiefly given her own domain as the battle field of the South, and interposed her own heart between the sword of the usurper and its destined victim. The writer says: "When the revolution burst upon the Border States, in April last, and the old fogies of the Convention were driven by the overwhelming force of public opinion to recognize the existence of war, the State was barely prepared to make a respectable defence. But the indomitable people rushed upon the Navy-Yard and Harper's Ferry and captured them. They armed with whatever weapons they possessed and marched to those points most threatened by the enemy; and from the time when few in numbers, poorly armed, uniformed and disciplined, they threw themselves into the breach to stem the tide of Northern invasion, until this day, when they have in the field a splendid a

The reported fight in the Northwest. Louisville, July 14 --The Rich Mountain fight, over which the Federals have been so jubilant, is rapidly losing its interest and reliability to them. The latest dispatch states that the Southern troops were 800 strong, with two cannon. The Southern loss was 75 killed and about as many wounded. The Federal loss was 11 killed and 35 wounded. The above statement of the killed and wounded was approved by Gen. McClellan, but his own dispatches to Washington report his loss to be 20 killed and 49 wounded. It is apparent that the invaders had made plans for certain victory, and sent bulletins before the fight. A courier, sent by McClellan, lost his way, and the General waited all day for a certain signal, which he failed to get, and the enterprise resulted only in the dislodgement of 800 Southern troops by five invading Federal regiments.
