Payment was made by a reissue, bearing six per cent., and payable Nov. 1, 1864. Most of the reissue was taken by the first holders, and there were more par bids for it than could be accommodated.

The Seventeenth Virginia regiment. Richmond, Va., May 10. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Many instances of bravery and during have been developed during the present war, and many pass have been busy in chronicling the noble deeds of our brave soldiers. Much still remains unwritten, and when impartial history shall record the events of the present struggle for independence, the part acted by the gallant 17th. Virginia regiment will occupy a conspicuous place. Composed chiefly of companies from the downtrodden city of Alexandria, at the beginning of the war they left home and friends in the hands of the enemy, and with minority and cheerfulness took their position with the army at Manassas.--They participated in all the events of that memorable campaign. Cut off from all communication with their families and friends, they could not avail themselves of the privileges enjoyed by others. When sick or wounded, the "loved ones at home." could not administer to their want

utile. Our river batteries this Federal officer seemed to look upon and treat with superb contempt, considering them beneath his notice or attention. On his way down Lieut. Turner saw and heard the magazine of a one-gun battery blow up — supposed to have happened from orders of those in command. On reaching Warwick bar, the point of obstruction, our paroled prisoners were landed, and everything of value being transferred to shore, the Curtis Peck, Northampton, and gun boat Jamestown were scuttled, and sunk at that ponit. Yet Lieut. Turner is of opinion that such impediments will prove of very little, if any, obstruction to the progress of the Federals. At last accounts, the Federal flotilla were reported below City Point, and yesterday, 10 A. M., but one and a half mile from the landing there, making their way cautionsly and slowly towards our city. We are greatly indebted to Lieut. Turner for politeness, and particularly so for a copy of the New York Herald, May 10th.

The battle of Williamsburg.Yankee account — Wholesale lying.McClellan's Dispatch to the War Department, &c. We received last night a copy of the New York Herald, of May 10, in which we find the subjoined account of the battle of Williamsburg. More outrageous lying cannot be conceived of: It is announced, by steamer from Yorktown at Fortress Monroe, that General McClellan had advanced twelve miles beyond Williamsburg, and has had several skirmishes with the enemy, routing them with heavy loss. The embarkation of troops for West Point was progressing with great rapidity, and a heavy battle had taken place on Wednesday afternoon between the troops, under Gen. Franklin and the rebels under Gen. Lee, who were endeavoring to make their way to Richmond. It is said to have been the severest battle on the Peninsula, and the rebels were totally defeated and flanked, being driven back towards the forces under Gen. Johnston on the Chickahominy. The whole number of Unionists kill

The New York Herald, of May 10th, gives an account of the recent naval operations in Hampton Roads and vicinity.

The latter will nominate Richard Wallack for Mayor. The National Democrat would not have presumed to revive their organization if a pretext had not been afforded by the mad ultraisms of the radical Abolition faction in congress, whose assaults upon the (constitution are every where re-alimenting the defunct Democrat party, as well as giving encouragement and vitally to the rebellion. The following notices was read from the clerk's desk immediately after the adjournment of the House to-day: "There will be a meeting of the conservative members of Congress in this hall tomorrow, Saturday, May 10, at two o'clock P. M. All conservative members from all the States are invited to attend, to consult together as to the best means to defeat the schemes of the Abolitionists and Secessionists."

Interesting from Pensacola. --A special dispatch to the Mobile Advertiser, dated Pensacola, May 10th, says: At twelve o'clock last night the Pensacola Navy Yard and forts were set on fire and destroyed. Fort Pickens, when the enemy discovered what was going on, opened a furious bombardment, which was kept up during the conflagration, but without doing damage to any body at Pensacola. All the public property, excepting the custom house, incapable of being moved, was burnt; but all movable Confederate property has been saved. The railroad track leading out of the city towards Montgomery was torn up this morning. A Federal vessel with a flag of truce came up to the city to-day, demanding its surrender. Mayor Bobe refused to comply with the demand, but stated that all the military forces had left and he had no power to oppose the Federals. The Federal officer replied that they would occupy the city to-morrow, but that the inhabitants need not be alarmed.
