Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.full particulars Frederichsburg, June 30, 1861. I write to inform you of the partially successful issue of a most daring adventure which has been concocted at this place, and executed on the Potomac River and the Bay. Capt. Hollins has just returned from the expedition this evening, and from his report and from personal observation I have collected the following circumstances attending the affair. Friday morning our town was thrown into great commotion by a rumor being spread that a secret expedition was forming, whose object was unknown. Men were seen gathering in small groups at the corners of the streets, conversing on this all-absorbing topic. Some three or four days previously, a gentleman of the name of Thomas was seen about the streets with his head shaved very close and dressed in the Zouave style. He attracted upon himself universal observation, and was even suspected by some of being a spy. He was evidently affecting a

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.letter from a Farmville boy — military affairs. Farmville, June 30, 1861. I have been looking over your good Daily for the last month or two, and have seen but few letters from Farmville. Supposing you have no regular correspondent here, although a boy I take the liberty of saying a few words as to matters about our quiet little town — The only thing that rouses our few remaining citizens from the lethargy into which they have fallen, is the war news. They are expecting to hear of a battle in the vicinity of Alexandria or Manassas. If Lincoln's cut-throats were to meet our brave boys in open field, we could whip them two to one; but old Scott and his master know that too well, and will not try it. They have heard of the big battle at Bethel, where we whipped them four to one, and they are getting a little more cautious. There has a large number of troops passed our town since the first of May. The greater part of them are from

From Petersburg. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Petersburg, June 30, 1861. The refreshing rains of the last two or three days have had the effect of reviving animal as well as vegetable life. For several days the heat has been debilitating, and the earth parched by a rather protracted drought. It has at length received a very copious watering. There seems to be a general good feeling among the farmers of the South-Side counties, many of whom I have conversed with. They have reaped fine crops of grain, and there will certainly be no scarcity of bread; but nobody anticipates high prices for the present. The passage of troops through this city for several weeks past has been constant and the numbers large, but as many of them went on to your city, I presume you have had good views of them. That portion of the Hampton Legion which passed through here a day or two since, is a splendid body of men. They are all young, and most of them occupy high social pos
