From Norfolk.[special correspondence of the Dispatch] Norfolk, Va., June 4, 1861. The Lincoln hirelings are still bent on carrying out their fiendish ends. Besides their deeds of plunder, they resort to other and more vile and inhuman crimes in the outrages of our women and children. A young lady, daughter of a respectable farmer living in the vicinity of Newport News, was taken by these reckless villains and imprisoned in Fortress Monroe where, judging from what has already been dos clothing, and compelled in his flight to walk the distance of three miles to Fortress Monroe, where he was confined as prisoner. Does not the heart shrink at such deeds of cruelty and must the offenders o unpunished? On Saturday, several Lincoln steamers were noticed frequently running from Old Point to Newport News. Southern oppose troops were boiling at the latter point, while others more reasonably surmised that guns were being taken from the Fort — a belief to which I incline after

in from Washington City. We translate what it says of this last named gentleman and his mission: " In what capacity does this representative, appointed by Mr. Lincoln, come here? Evidently in the capacity of Minister of the United States, that is to say, of the Confederacy, such as it was before the separation of the States ognized as the representative of only the States of the North; and the Mexican Government cannot recognize him as representing the States of the South. "If Mr. Lincoln's envoy limits his pretensions so as to be only the representative of the North, he strikes a blow at the dignity of his own Government, and admits thereby thatmade by a Government whose authority did not extend over the whole nation. This argument may now be returned against the Republicans; for the authority against Mr. Lincoln is certainly very far from reaching over the whole of the country which once formed the confederation of the United States. "This reasoning is strengthened

the mouse was disposed of. The act will produce, I believe, in spite of what I see, a very deep impression throughout all the States, and will tend to bring about an immediate collision between the high-handed parties on both sides. When Mr. Lincoln came into office, it was discovered that a promise had been made by the outgoing members of the preceding Government to surrender the Southern forts. That promise was ignored by the incoming Ministry. The Southern Commissioners insisted on iditions, the object of which was scarcely dubious. The Commissioners of the Southern States at Washington, never acknowledged, at last met with a decisive rebuff just as Virginia saw her representatives from the Convention on their way to ask Mr. Lincoln to explain his intentions. The Commissioners were given to understand that their presence was useless, and that the forts would be reinforced, and on the intelligence thus furnished to the Government at Montgomery it was resolved to act by su

oung daughter of Baltimore writes to a schoolmate and friend in Charleston: Baltimore, May 16, 1861. You must pardon me for intruding upon you an expression of my Southern sentiment. I so often think and speak of you with the rest of your friends, and I envy your living in the bosom of a home which we are denied. You cannot see as well as we how miserably our happiness, our liberty, our homes, have been sold by traitors, who would risk all this to be the pampered minions of Abe Lincoln and his party. I can scarcely control myself whilst I am writing you. I am boiling over with indignation. I once prayed for peace; but now, next to begging the blessing of God, I pray-- "Hurrah for Jeff, Davis and the Southern Confederacy!" And, woman as I am, if I knew the way, I would walk out of Maryland until my foot rested on more Southern soil. --You are happy, indeed, and have nothing to contend with in comparison with we poor Baltimoreans — or, I should have said, Marylander
