Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from the Fauquier Springs. Fauquier W. S. Springs, June 22, 1861.
An impression seems to be abroad that this beautiful and delightful watering-place is filled up, and that several persons have been refused accommodations.
There are at this time several families here, but there is yet plenty of room for others — the accommodations being ample for seven hundred people.--This is a convenient and safe situation for the families of officers and soldiers stationed at Manassas and points beyond; and is a most delightful locality for any one wishing a summer retreat from the cities or neighborhoods invaded by the enemy.
The fare is good and abundant, and we feel sure that any who may come will remain satisfied.
Our worthy and accommodating host, Mr. Hudgin, spares no pains to add to the comfort and pleasure of his guests, and we hope soon to see his houses well filled and his visitors contented and happy.
The ladies of the Springs are not i
[for the Richmond Dispatch.]oil for railroads, machinery, &c.--important suggestion. Camp Carolina, Near Norfolk, Va., Headq'rs. 2d Regt. N. C. Volunteers, June 22d, 1861.
I noticed in your paper, a day or two since, a short article in regard to the lack of oil for railroads, machinery, &c. I should like to call the attention of the Confederate States to an invention of Mr. A. J. Hardin, of Shelby, Cleveland county, North Carolina, by which I am sure this want can be easily supplied Mr. Hardin has invented a machine by which he can hull the cotton seed with great rapidity.
The hard outer coating of the cotton seeds contains a gummy substance, which makes it unfit for almost any purpose; rid it of this and you have one of the finest oils in the world.
It is pure, translucent, fine for table purposes, burning, machinery, or any other purpose to which the best oils are applied.
I have seen it tried for burning, machinery and printing, and I can assure you it answers admi

[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.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from the Northwest. Laurel Hill Camp, Barbour, Co., Va., June 22, 1861.
This place has been selected as one of the posts for the gathering of troops for the Northwestern army of Virginia.
This department is under the command of Gen. Garnett, an officer of ability and experience, in whom those under him have the greatest confidence.
The numbers of Confederate troops at present in this neighborhood I am not able to state accurately, but from good authority I learn that It is sufficient to meet any advance of the enemy.
The 23d Regiment, Col. Tallaferro, is stationed at this place, and the command is in fine health and high spirits * This regiment is composed of companies from the neighborhood of Richmond, and no doubt it will gratify their friends to hear from them, and that they are anxious and ready to meet the enemy.--The Richmond Sharp-Shooters, Capt. Robert A. Tompkins, hold an enviable position in its ranks, and armed as they
