ents continue to furnish us with narratives of occurrences incident to the war, some of which we append, commencing with. A Lady's account of the invasion of Charlestown by the great Patterson.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Charlestown, July 29, 1861. We dare ask a place in your much read columns, as Charlestown now suspects herself of some importance, Yankeedem having visited us for the second time — the first visit in a Drown raid of twenty-two men, the second in a Lincoln raid of thirty thousand. Of the first you know. A little of the second we will try to tell you. Our town, which since the noble Southern army marched through, has been the perfection of quietness, was on Wednesday (17th) thrown into confusion by the cry of "They come!--They come!" Now this "they" was well known by every rational animal, from man to monkey, to mean exactly what did come — the barbers, swearers and thieves of Yankee land. We had been expecting them from Harper's Ferry, hav

lergyman in South Carolina, to his uncle in New York, dated July 18, 1861: "I need not say anything about the war. It is upon us, and if any reliance is to be placed in the threats of your people and the proclamations of your President, it promises to be a terrible war. As true as there is a God in heaven, the North will fail in its mad undertakings. We never will submit. We will fight as long as there is a man to hold a weapon; and rather than be forced, back into the Government of Lincoln, which we thoroughly hate, we will sacrifice property and life, and see our beautiful land converted into one graveyard. When our armies are thinned by slaughter, and men become scarce, I shall, without hesitation, volunteer myself. As you live in the North, no doubt you are, by this time, a strong Union man, and go in for coercion. I hope we may never meet on the field with muskets pointed at each other. "J. T. H." A voice from Long Island. We find the following communica

A military Dictator. --Maj. Gen. McClellan, who supersedes Gen. Scott, was the President of a railroad in the West when he was appointed a Maj. General by Lincoln.--He graduated with high distinction at West Point, and was in the army for several years, in which he gained considerable reputation as an officer. After the Mexican war, he resigned his commission in the army and accepted the Presidency of a railroad at a salary of $12,000. It is said that, when he accepted the commission frothe Presidency of a railroad at a salary of $12,000. It is said that, when he accepted the commission from Lincoln, he stipulated that he was to retain his salary as President, thus evincing characteristic Yankee zeal to look after his wages. If he should not, in turn, like Scott, be superseded and disgraced, we should not be surprised to see him at the head of a military despotism, and to see him superseding the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.--Nashville Union.

From the Choctaw nation --The National Register says the crops in that section are abundant. Wheat, rye, oats, barley, are all fine and gave a handsome yield, and corn was never more promising. We clip the following from that paper: "A company of 80 or 100 men was organized here yesterday, consisting mostly of Choctaws; they paraded in our streets, and then proceeded to the election of officers. A flag is being presented to them, as we go to press; they will march for the scene of action today, if our information is correct. They are a fine looking set of men, and if old Lincoln could have seen them, marched up in front, singing an Indian war song, he would have trembled in his boots. "

they were compelled, because of the horrid stench of the rotten Yankees, to retreat from the field they had so gloriously won, and abandon their humane under taking. We had proposed to take a survey of the whole field, but the putrefying bodies of the corrupt Republicans so far out stunk anything we ever smelt, that we too were compelled to some extent to abandon our purpose. We, however, succeeded, in getting to the point where Sherman's Battery was captured and where the flower of Mr. Lincoln's army fell by thousands under the irresistible charge of our intrepid soldiers. Here we saw hundreds of the "Pet Lambs, " regulars, &c., &c., in quiet possession of the farms assigned to them in Old Virginia, whilst for miles around us they were occupying the lands of freshmen they had dared to coerce. Besides dead men, we saw dead horses, cattle, hogs, &c., &c., scattered over the fields. The whole country through which the invaders passed was marked with desolation; farms laid waste

Wilmington Journal) is the invincible Doubleday? Won't he write some more braggadocio letters to his Yankee friends? Ye glorious Capita-ing Doubuelday, Who writes all night and fights all day. In one of the Massachusetts regiments there are or were 336 shoemakers, of whom 87 belonged to one company. This company at the Manassas fight was awfully troubled in its soles, and waxed too feeble towards the end to bristle up when the masked batteries balled it off. The officers of Lincoln's army deny the "soft impeachment" of panic. They say they did not yield to panic, but to the "irrepressible conflict" waged upon them by the Southern regiments. They weren't scared, they were thrashed. "Masked batteries," like the cry of "Bluebeard," to bad children, are the terror of the Northern people. The term is used so often in their fanciful stories of pretended victories, that it has become ridiculous. They should call a pocket revolver a masked battery. The Suffolk (

max by brandishing over the great powers of Europe that steel pen which it imagines a genuine thunderbolt of Jove, tipped with fatal lightnings. In the same paper in which it admonishes Jeff. Davis to "hasten and sue for mercy" at the throne of Lincoln, it devotes a furious column to the London Times and to England, declaring that after the war is over, the victorious half million will direct their attention to Canada, which they will proceed immediately to annex to Mr. Lincoln's domains, and,Mr. Lincoln's domains, and, by way of punishing Spain for the invasion of St. Domingo, will appropriate Cuba. "Ye Gods! Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, that he hath grown so great?" Is this a genuine voice from Olympus, or is it only the shrill squeal of that unscrupulous Sawney, who made his fortune out of the Life and Times of Helen Jewett? What a pitch of arrogance and craziness in this man, who is morally and socially one of the most contemptible of his race, to be thus aping the thunders of Jupiter! Engl

greater confidence in their leaders, already almost unlimited. It will crush every disaffected voice in their borders. It will stimulate them to put forth all their resources, and beyond, places England and France entirely dependent upon them for the cotton crop, which may, and doubtless will, lead to their recognition. It is well to look calmly over the ground upon which we stand; and with as dispassionate an eye as we can command, these events seem to loom up out of the future, unless Lincoln turns square about, kicks over his present Cabinet, sets every negroite now in it afloat, reverses his policy, and submits to the decision of the Supreme Court. He must either do this or resign the Government. If neither, then the present effusion of blood is but an instalment of what is to come. Years of war will desolate our land, and misery fill our homes, all for the purpose of enabling the Abolition party to place their free negro construction upon the Constitution. When these

Another popular Demonstration in Baltimore. New York, Aug. 2. --The New York Fifth Regiment, on their way home through Baltimore, were stoned in that city by a crowd, who cheered for "Jeff Davis." Little harm was done, and several of the shouters were arrested, who were subsequently released on swearing allegiance to Lincoln. The Pennsylvania reserve has been placed under the command of Gen. McCall.
