The invasion of Alexandria.the capture of Capt. Ball's Cavalry and Subsequent treatment.shooting of Col. Ellsworth.disgraceful conduct on the part of Lincoln's troops.&c., &c., &c.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Manassas Junction, May 27, 1861. Messrs. Editors:--Having seen no authentic statement of the occupation of Alexandria, it may be of interest to your readers to know some of the details. Early on the morning after the election, (about 3 o'clock,) notice was given that preparations were in active progress for the occupation of Alexandria by the Federal troops. The Captain of the Pawnee came over with a flag of truce, and notified Colonel Territt that the troops in town must surrender or evacuate by 9 o'clock. By order of General Lee, commandant of Virginia forces, the troops were ordered to evacuate. Having done so twice before, the order was not promptly obeyed, our indeed was the notice sufficiently exciting to make them do so. In accordance wit

us Sickles who murdered Philip Barton Key, because the guilty association of the latter with the wife of Sickles had been made public. There walks not the streets of New York a more unprincipled and abandoned rogue than this man Sickles — a man who has for years consorted with the vilest of the vile in New York city--and yet his act of murder is commended, himself promoted to high rank in the army, and at once taken into the confidence of the President of the United States! Another of Lincoln's favorite officers is the infamous Billy Mulligan, who for his many crimes and rascalities, was some years since driven from California. Last winter he was sent to the State Prison in New York, for manslaughter, and he is now outside its walls on a legal quibble for the purpose of obtaining a new trial. He has long been a pest and a terror to the peaceable, honest portion of the city in which he has lived, but he will find fighting the South a different affair from that of a ward fight i

Extremes Meeting. The universal suffrage of the North has built up a military despotism at Washington, and made Lincoln, like Louis Napoleon, Emperor "by the will of the people." Between a representative Democracy, and a Democracy in which everybody votes for everything, and the majority of numbers is acknowledged sovereign, there is a gulf as wide as any which rolls between Constitutional Liberty and the sway of an absolute and crowned King. If we were compelled to choose between the Emperor Alexander and the many-headed despot, King Numbers, we would swear allegiance to the first without a moment's hesitation. We would rather any day be at the mercy of a king, though absolute and hereditary, who is himself under the influence of public opinion, and who could not, without fear of the vengeance of man here, and of God hereafter, commit any very flagrant outrage upon his subjects, than be the subject of a despotic majority, like that which now sways the Government of the United

1861 I state, on the authority of a gentleman from Hampton, that no engagement whatever has taken place in that town, but the fact of the burning of the bridge he fully confirms.--This was done by the Hamptonians, to prevent the passage of Lincoln's troops. The report, also, of the burning of Hampton, is alike untrue. The rumor, for a time, created great excitement in our midst, but as soon as reliable facts were known, the public mind was appeased. There are now four or five shipsIt was thought in our city that she had been taken off Gloucester Point, but confirmation is wanting. It is something strange that one of the Baltimore steamers had been alongside the wharf at Newport News. What does this mean? One of Lincoln's crafts went up in this direction and neighborhood last night, about 11 or 12 o'clock. North Carolina has sent to our aid numbers of her gallant soldiers. More probably will arrive to-day or to-morrow. I hear of nothing interesting f

0 should not be temperate — should not see that he, at least, ought not to foul his fingers or his fame in this Abolition crusade against his native land! And in such a cause! The tool of Abolition against Virginia! The tool of such an ape as Lincoln — of such a snake as Seward — of such a wolf as Chase! He, Scott, the hungering aspirant for the Presidency, seduced in his old age by the vain dream of becoming military dictator of the country! Knowing the imbecility of Lincoln, he fancies tng the imbecility of Lincoln, he fancies that his military successes will secure his military dictatorship. But his soup, like the spur of Percy, has grown a little cold!" Let Virginians and all farmers through the country organize to harass the enemy by guerilla warfare. The best troops in the world cannot stand this kind of assault, and the invading army is not an army of regulars, but mostly of militia, which will soon be made to stone for the scoundrelism and idiocy of their cr

on their naval work; and whence get their cotton also? I hardly think they yet reflect about it. The war spirit seems completely aroused, though the cultivation of the soil goes on as usual. The Census gives us about 125,000 men for military duty. We have, as yet, only about 30,000 ready, so can spare 100,000, and not miss any agricultural results. Probably 100,000 acres of cotton land have been converted to corn culture this season, besides an almost equal quantity taken from tobacco, all of which will produce from three to four millions of bushels of grain, enough to feed 100,000 men two years. The ordinary corn crop is not here included, which, as before mentioned, is enormous; single farmers making as high as forty or fifty thousand bushels!--Hence, have no fears of starvation. The blockade does not affect us, though the slave and free negro population fearing it will abridge their coffee and sugar, have risen up in arms against Lincoln, threatening vengeance. O.

What we have Escaped. It is estimated by competent judges that the Lincoln war debt will be from two hundred and fifty to three hundred millions of dollars per annum. Indeed, there are those who believe that it will cost him one million a day to carry on the war. And, let it be remembered, this is only the beginning of operathe money would have to be raised by direct taxation. Think of that, people of Virginia How would you like the fun of shouldering from thirty to fifty millions of Lincoln's war expenses, and paying the greater part of it out of your own pockets? If the mad policy of Neward and Lincoln forces upon us the necessity of fighting and p Virginia How would you like the fun of shouldering from thirty to fifty millions of Lincoln's war expenses, and paying the greater part of it out of your own pockets? If the mad policy of Neward and Lincoln forces upon us the necessity of fighting and paying, will we not elect to fight against them and for the South? Probably!

es received in your city, that such was the case, but he is mistaken, as the greater part of the dispatches are false. The Union flag is flying over the Court House, but we all think it will not remain long there. Our papers state that Lincoln will have our city set on fire, but we are not afraid, as we are watching day and night, and it will cost the lives of Lincoln's men when they attempt it, even when backed by the Black Republicans of New York. Every one will do what you wrote iLincoln's men when they attempt it, even when backed by the Black Republicans of New York. Every one will do what you wrote in your letter, to "fight as long as there is a drop of blood left in your body." On the 26th instant there was a large military meeting held, when we saw how many military companies would go with the South. There were seventeen companies, each composed of not less than sixty men. Of this body of men there were nine German companies, five Irish companies, two French companies, and one Italian company. Every day the military force is strengthened by the accession of new military companies.

Will not accept Office under Lincoln. --The Rockingham Register, of the 24th inst., states that Mr. Samuel R. Sterling, lately appointed Postmaster at Harrisonburg in place of Robert H. Smith, will not accept the office tendered him by the Lincoln Administration. Mr. Sterling's commission was promptly returned to the Post-Office Department. He has since received a duplicate of his appointment, which also goes back. The office was unsought by Mr. Sterling, and his appointment took him utterly by surprise. Considerable indignation was felt in our community at Mr. Smith's removal, occurring as it did just as Virginia was retiring from the old Union, which has been disgraced and dishonored by the Lincoln dynasty.
