Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Camp Farr. Camp Farr, near Fairfax C H., July 4, 1861. There were various rumors here of a fight yesterday between Gen. Patterson, with 13,000, and Gen. Johnson, with 4,000 men. The former attempted to cross the Potomac, and was driven back. Loss variously estimated. The day before, (the 2d,) 14 of our men attacked 67 Federalists, killed 17, and took 6 prisoners, with a loss of six wounded and two killed. One of our men was killed by his own sergeant, by mistake.
[for the Dispatch.] July 4th, 1861. Messrs. Editors:--Being very desirous to see Gen. Scott, I went to Gordonsville Thursday, the 3rd, to do so, as I understood he was in Washington and said he would dine in Richmond the 4th. Can you inform an old farmer why he did not dine there, and whether he has apologized to the citizens for not coming? If he did not, can you give the people any information? They are anxious to meet him along the railroad, and no doubt his old friends, Generals Lee and Beauregard, and other military gentlemen, would like to see him punctual in attending the places he proposes to dine at. And won't President Davis think hard of him for not comrag? Would it not be well to send a committee to Washington to wait on him, and assure him that a conveyance had been and is still waiting to bring him down? and I don't think it would be prudent for him to refuse such competent escorts as Lee and Beauregard. Would it? W. S. C.

As a private citizens, the Executive could not have consented that these institutions shall perish — much less could he, in betrayal of so vast and so sacred a trust as these free people had confided to him. He felt that he had no moral right to shrink, nor even to count the chances of his own life in what might follow. In full view of his great responsibility, he has so far done what he has deemed his duty. You will now, according to your own judgement, perform yours. He sincerely hopes that your views and your action may so accord with his, as to assure all faithful citizens who have been disturbed in their rights, of a certain as speedy restoration to them under the Constitution and the laws. And having thus chosen our course without guile and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear and with manly hearts. Abraham Lincoln. July 4, 1861.
for criminal services, preferable to the chances of honest diminution thereof! But, twas ever your failing, John — the "itching palm," and it must explain your conduct now. Now, in consideration of all this, John, it is my purpose to admonish you, that blood is the sole specific for dishonor,--that, for a man to publish a vendetta were the grossest folly, if he at all suspected the flinching of his heart or arm from its accomplishment, --that a sword has long graced your side; and that I now wear one, too, although the warlike weapon is to me a comparatively novel acquisition; yet I warn you to guard this cartel always in your memory; for Providence, in these desperate times, may far sooner intersect our paths than either of us can dream of now and whenever and wherever he does, I fear not to invoke a just and retributive God to sustain and defend the right. Thos. W. Upshva. Lieut., "Wise Legion," Army of the Confederate States of America. Richmond, July 4, 1861.
