Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. Outrages upon Virginia Citizens — Instances of Determination not to Submit to the Tyranny of Lincoln's Minions — Old Ape's Message Yorktown, July 11, 1861. You will recollect, Messrs Editors, that in my last I stated, as a generally believed rumor, that the citizens around Old Poingo on, developing her own resources, manufacturing all she needs, and imbibing more and more the spirit of true and manly independence. I have just read President Lincoln's Message. To criticise such a tissue of misrepresentations of historic truths and such a combination of political sophistry. I leave to school boys. It mts but in name? And will shrewd capitalists invest with such a prospect of losing both principal and interest? I cannot but regard this financial feature of Lincoln's scheme as one eminently favorable to Southern independence, it being a virtual confession of the inability of the enemy to pursue his purpose of subjugation.

Federal prisoners in Texas. --A letter from San Antonio to the Galveston News. says: "Many of the old army officers are here prisoners of war. When they asked Van horn what he intended to do with them, he replied, 'keep you for retaliation, if Lincoln carries out his threats.'"
The Daily Dispatch: July 17, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Confab between Old are and Old Scott. (search)
A Confab between Old are and Old Scott. --A gentleman, recently arrived here from New York, relates a conversation which, as was reported in Gotham when he left, took place a few days ago between Abe Lincoln, L L. D., and Old Fuss and Feathers, during which the gouty old soldier told the King of all the Abolitionists a most unpalatable truth. It seems that Abraham and Winfield were riding together, reviewing the Yankee mercenaries in the Federal capital, when the former remarked to the latter, "General, this is a splendid army — a mighty large army, and costs the Government daily a heap of money; but why is it remaining here idle? You once penetrated to the capital of Mexico in three months, with one- fifth of the force that you now have under your command; why do you not push on into Virginia and take possession of the capital of the rebellious Old Dominion!" "Ah," replied Old Scott, "the reason is plain and palpable: The men who carried me to the City of Mexico are the
m to send to those cities their crops of cotton until the blockade should be raised or was no longer enforced. Not a bale of this valuable staple will be sent to or received as usual at the great cotton repositories of the South; and should Lincoln's horde make a descent upon the Queen City, they will find the granaries in which have heretofore been stored millions of pounds, empty and barren, and the rich commodity in the private warehouses of its owners, who have resolved, our informant at cotton repositories of the South; and should Lincoln's horde make a descent upon the Queen City, they will find the granaries in which have heretofore been stored millions of pounds, empty and barren, and the rich commodity in the private warehouses of its owners, who have resolved, our informant declares, to burn it to ashes, or to throw it into the sea, or make an offering of it to the poor operatives of England, sooner than an iota of it shall fall into the hands of Lincoln's myrmidons.
ses believes that we are about to give any help to the Confederate States or that we hastened to recognize them as a belli gerent Power in order that we might supply them with arms, or share with them the profit of captured merchantmen. The reasons advanced by the Northerners to justify their indignation are only pretexts used to cover the real cause of it — namely, the wound which their vanity has suffered by our not having shown sufficient admiration of the levy made in obedience to President Lincoln's Proclamation. This is the head and front of our offending. All the talk about aiding the Secessionists and raising the rebels to the dignity of patriots is merely an affectation to conceal the real grievance.--This being plainly the state of things, we shall not attempt to coax the Northerners into good humor by assurances of any kind. Our conduct in the American civil war is before the world, and is so completely approved that it has been followed in every step by the French Gove
Abe Lincoln's appearance. --Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, of Staunton, thus describes Lincoln: Abraham is, as well as he could judge, about an inch or an inch and a half taller than him self--Mr. Stuart is over six feet in height — an awkward, gaunt frame, long arms, with hands like rakes, long, slender legs, and feet like mattocks. His manners, appearance and conversation, clearly indicated that he was not accustomed to good society, but that he was a coarse, rude, uncultivated man, with n thus describes Lincoln: Abraham is, as well as he could judge, about an inch or an inch and a half taller than him self--Mr. Stuart is over six feet in height — an awkward, gaunt frame, long arms, with hands like rakes, long, slender legs, and feet like mattocks.

The negroes vs. Lincoln. --We have seen a good many accounts of negro subscriptions to the Loan of the Confederate States, but the most remarkable instance occurred in this county a few days ago. After a stirring appeal made by J. R. Hawthorn, Esq., at Pine Apple, on Saturday, an old negro woman named Melinda, belonging to David Carter, walked up to the subscription paper and remarked that she "believed the cause of the South to be right and just, and that she felt it to be her duty to aid, to the extent of her ability, in whipping the enemies of our country," at the same time pulling out ten dollars, saying that she could well spare that if it would do any good — they were welcome to it. Camden (Ala) Republic.
A Religious paper's opinion of Lincoln's Message. --The North Carolina Presbyterian speaking of the Old Ape's Message says: "We lay this document before our readers, not doubting that they will desire to see what vindication the Northern President may attempt of his guilty administration, and what recommendations he may make to his subservient tools in Congress for the further prosecution of the war. The document is as false in its statements, and as malignant in its spirit, as it is utterly contemptible in point of ability."
