From Camp Winslow.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Camp Winslow, Halifax, N. C., July 16, 1861.
A bright, sunny evening witnessed the departure of eight companies of this gallant and promising regiment, the 5th, for the scene of action in Virginia.
Long before the whistle of the locomotive announced that the train was in waiting to conduct them hence, crowds had collected to bid them "God speed" and cheer them on in the path of duty.
Since their advent to this hospitable place they have experienced the kindest and most flattering attentions from the inhabitants of the town and county, and their sojourn here will remain a "green spot in memory."
The 5th seems to be looked to from all quarters as the regiment in which heroic deeds and daring acts are to be performed.
The well known chivalry and comprehensive mind of its commander give it a "prestige" second to none in the Southern Army, while the superior acquirements of its officers, the high qualifications of

Orange C. H., July 16, 1861. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Dear Sirs:
I write to ask you to perform an act of mere justice to a Virginia soldier, which I am sure you will take pleasure in doing.
A writer for your paper of the 16th, from Williamsburg, mentions the well-known fact that many volunteers from other States seem to imagine they come here to fight Virginia's battles.
He says, after mentioning several engagements in which the sons of the Old Dominion have taken an active part, that the fight of Vienna was done principally by Virginia artillery.
The truth is, all the fighting was done by the Alexandria Artillery, commanded by Capt. Kemper.
The First Regiment S. C. Volunteers was there, but the enemy taking to the woods, it was vain to attempt pursuit, the Yankees being trained to running.
Capt. De Laynel also, whose gallant exploits are noticed in your issue of the 16th, was from Alexandria instead of Petersburg, as reported.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Fatal shooting in Patrick. Patrick Court-House, Va., July 16, 1861.
A very sad calamity occurred here on last Saturday, in the accidental shooting of Austin Hyiton, by Wm. Critz.Esq. It seems a difficulty occurred between Mr. Critz and John S. Anglin, his brother-in-law, about the treatment Anglin's wife received at his hands, which is represented to have been very cruel.
Critz, thinking it his duty to protect his sister, him and his younger brother thought best to have a friendly interview with him about his conduct towards their sister.
There upon Anglin attempted to draw a weapon on Herman Critz, who was greatly under his size.
Wm. Critz then drew a pistol; and then the unfortunate Hylton interfered as the friend of Critz, to take the pistol away from him, and in the struggle the pistol went off, taking effect near the heart, which caused instant death.
Austin Hylton was of one of the best families in the county, and his
From Winchester.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Winchester. July 16, 12M., 1861.
Since this time yesterday everything has been in movement here, incident to an advance of Gen. Patterson's command.
Yesterday morning 300 of Col. Stuart's cavalry charged on one regiment of Patterson's infantry, about six miles this side of Martinsburg.
The infantry fired before the charge was made.
Immediately after the fire the cavalry made the charge, fired their revolvers, and then retreated.
Col. Stuart's horse was shot from under him. The lines of infantry were broken as the charge was made, the infantry retreating behind a post and rail fence, which could not be easily broken down, and over which the cavalry could not pass.
Other regiments were in sight, and also some heavy artillery.
This information was given me by a member of the Clarke Cavalry, who was in the charge and who came to Winchester for another horse for Col. Stuart.
The gentleman could give no account of the
