Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
from Winchester.
Winchester, June 11, 1861.
Last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings presented one among the most martial appearances which has been witnessed in Winchester since the commencement of the campaign.
The Tennessee and two Georgia regiments elicited much commendation; although wearied by travel, their bright eyes and cheerful hearts indicated a firmness worthy to none but the chivalrous of the Fourth.
I noticed in the cars a company of noble Shenandoans, (minute men,) commanded by Capt. John Gatewood, editor of the ‘"Woodstock Tenth Legion, "’ and member elect to the Legislature.
Our citizens, numbering at least one thousand, two-thirds of whom Virginia's fair daughters, were present at the Fair Grounds on Saturday evening, witnessing the grand military display of the 1st Regiment of Georgians, from Atlanta city, under the command of Col. Bartow, a gallant specimen of a Southern military gentleman.
They are a noble looking set of men, and no doubt will be valorous in action.
They struck their tents early on Sunday morning, and the regiment was formed, when their heroic Colonel addressed them with patriotic elo- quence for a few minutes, when the Chaplain stepped forward and in a most fervent appeal to the Throne of Grace, invoked the blessings of God upon them and the righteous cause of the South.
The regiment then opened column and marched to the depot, where they took the cars amidst thundering applause, the ladies throwing bouquets and waving their lily white handkerchiefs.
The other Georgia regiment came fit on Sunday afternoon, and left on Monday morning. May the God of victories attend their every arm.--The expedition to Berkeley, mentioned in my last, in its results was satisfactory.
The Deer Hunters, the crack riflemen from our adjoining county of Hampshire, are organizing 2,500 men from that mountain region, who, I learn are determined not to stop until they reach the Ohio river.
But their first point will be at Piedmont, the northern portion of that county, where Maryland is separated from Virginia, immediately on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and ere this reaches you many, if not all, will be at that point.--Some talk was abroad yesterday and this morning that the Federal forces were advancing towards the Point of Rocks.
Let them come — a warm reception awaits them; the green sod on the banks of the Potomac will not receive their vandal bodies.
The waters of that stream will convey their dead carcasses down to the Little Falls.
A once friendly typo, who to his disgrace is now a Colonel in old Abe's aggressive army, I see by the papers has been ordered with two companies of ruffians up to the Falls.
Would it not be well for the Colonel to come further up stream, when he will surely get a floating passage down.
There are in our midst still some few individuals who are known to be unsound, politically rotten, friends to Northern aggression, enemies to the glory and honor of the Confederate States, and to their birthrights, whose venom is so rampant as to burst out not unfrequently with all attempts to conceal, and yet they are permitted to remain in our midst and to fulminate their treason.
Where is the safety of the people ?. We are nursing traitors among us, fattening them on patronage, whilst they are ready to strike the blow.
But yet awhile and the vipers will be crushed.
The sick from Harper's Ferry in Winchester are doing well, many of whom returned to duty yesterday morning.
Every attention is manifested towards them; they have the best medical practice among them in the country, and yet better, they have in the fair daughters of Winchester mothers, sisters, whose beneficence and constant attention to their wants are daily ministered by their fair hands, with their prayerful admonitions to the Throne of Grace.
I see some reporter for a Northern journal has reported 500 sick at this post.
It is utterly false, not one third of that number has ever been here reported.
Old Abe's reporters are like his Government all rotten together, ‘"Fuss and Feathers"’ included.
