teresting incidents of the morning session, was an eloquent and well merited tribute, by James Barbour, of Culpeper, to one of the bravest and most experienced officers in the South, who, though personally and most urgently solicited by Cameron, Lincoln's Secretary of War, to remain in the service of the old Union, spurned every offer, and finally escaped from Washington to his native State, leaving behind him his property, his pay and his prospects of preferment. He was as yet unprovided for,ia. The motion was adopted. [Justice to Mr. Ambler requires us to say that this interesting part of the day's proceedings was introduced by him in some remark relative to a pledge of the Convention, that Virginia officers, resigning in Lincoln's service, should be provided for by the State, without detriment to their professional grade] During the morning a dash was made at the Governor's Aid, but the charge was successfully repulsed and no one was hurt, if we except certain news

ion of the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs — which place, it was rumored, had been burnt by the enemy — to ascertain if the report was correct. In the meantime, the utmost activity prevailed amongst the citizens, who were soon prepared to give Lincoln's mercenaries a warm reception had they dared pollute the soil of noble Rockbridge by their foul tread. The report was, however, soon contradicted, and in due time the crowd returned to their respective homes. Business is now being conducted as quietly as though Lincoln and his troops were never heard of. The town, it is true, looks quite lonely on account of the absence of so many who were among the first to rush in defence of our devoted Commonwealth. The Liberty Hall Volunteers, a company composed of the students of Washington College, left here on Saturday last. Prudence demands silence with regard to their destination. Suffice it to say that they are a noble set of fellows, possessed of that high moral courage so charact

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Military enthusiasm in Alabama Jacksonville, Ala June 8, 1861. Since we have heard of the outrages committed by Lincoln's hordes of demons on your freeborn citizens of the frontier of Virginia, there has kindled a new fire in the breast of every single man upon the land of old, that burns deep and deeper. It is almost impossible to keep men from starting to the scene of action by squads. The intensity of passion cannot be described with pen and ink, and if it continues much longer, you will have thousands upon thousands in your midst, that cannot be controlled until the last vestige of those polluted hell-hounds are driven faraway from your borders. We are solidly united for the whole South, as long as a man stands to conquer those demons. Much longer we will not wall military orders, for we will be there: and when we rise in mass, woe, woehe unto those polluted thieves and scoundrels ! There will not be one left to fell the tale o

Harvey. --The Northern papers are indignant at the discovery that James E. Harvey, Minister to Portugal, had been in telegraphic correspondence with a prominent citizen of Charleston in relation to the fitting out of the fleet for reinforcing Fort Sumter. They insist on his recall from his mission, and trial for treason. Harvey was twenty years connected with the Philadelphia press, and was appointed by Lincoln for his services in the cause of the Republican party.

el, as he look the pains to write a note to the lady, who requested the guard, "hoping she would be relieved from all anxiety;" thus taking them completely by surprise, in order the more effectually to gain possession of any arms that might be in the neighborhood, unless the troops acted "without orders." But time would fail me to enumerate all the acts which graced this famous "taking of Alexandria" --the most unparalleled act of aggression that has yet characterized the corrupt policy of Lincoln and Seward, for they had not even the flimsy pretext of its being "Federal property" under the old Union. It now only remains for us to go forth, prayerfully and manfully, to repel these unprincipled invaders, who make the sacred name of "Union" a pretext for their aggressions, and drive them ignominiously from our soll. But let us go forth in no revengeful spirit; our hearts filled with hatred and malice, only strong in the might of a good cause, and then the battle cry shall swell up f

War trophy. --The cap worn by Capt. Waldrop, the abolition Aid to Butler's leader of Lincoln's men in their recent attack on our forces near Bethel Church, in York county, has been brought to this city by Mr. Thos. French, of York county, and deposited in one of the front windows of the Dispatch office, where it was viewed by hundreds yesterday. It is of grey cloth — what would be called a walking cap. No doubt the wearer thought he was on a pleasant holiday excursion, when leading on his "Zouaves" to annihilate a handful of in a significant Southerners, and never dreamed of meeting so sudden a termination to his assumed greatness. It is related that Butler was so concerned at the death of his pet that he sent, under a flag of truce, to request the return of the personal effects found on the carcase.

From Manassas Junction.[Special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Camp Pickens, June 13th, 1861. The unfortunate Mr. Taylor, who was accidentally shot by a member of the Alexandria Rifles, has since died of the effects of the wound. Mr. John T. Alvey, of Richmond, of the Governor's Guard, lost his horse and saddle at the hands of Lincoln's scouts. The sad intelligence has just reached us that a Mr. Furcron, of the Powhatan Cavalry, was shot by our own guards and immediately killed.--Mr. F, who was out on duty, left his post and went to a spring to drink. There he saw several soldiers who he supposed belonged to the enemy. He immediately wheeled, put spurs to his horse and darted off. The soldiers who Mr. F. mistook for the enemy, ordered him to halt; which, refusing to do he was immediately fired upon and killed, they supposing him to belong to a scouting party of the Federal troops, from his failing to stop when commanded.--Such intelligence mingles sadly with th
