To the Editors of the Dispatch:
Gentlemen: In your issue of the 9th ult., you have done unintentional injustice to an active and gallant man — to Capt. John S. Scott, of Point Coupee, Louisiana.
You state his residence as in Louisa county, Va. In the fight between the three Southerners and nine Yankees, which occurred two days previous to the battle of Bethel, John Scott, of Louisiana, slew two of the enemy with his own hand, and took anot ent of their property the quiet inhabitants of the peninsula.
As a Virginian, and animated by Virginian sentiments, I say do full and ample justice to the gallant and devoted men who come from a distance to stand by us in the hour of trial.--Brave John S.

Our thanks and gratitude and admiration accompany him to Manassas.
A Virginian.

The army is impatient to meet the enemy, and we trust the telegraph has not misrepresented General Scott's intentions.
The same source suggests that a movement about the same time towards Yorktown is in the course of execution.
The Confederate forces at that post are anxious for an attack, which we may believe they will resist with telling eff
Striking a blow
--For the fiftieth time within the last two months, we are informed that Gen. Scott has so far perfected his military arrangements that he will soon strike a decisive blow at the "rebels," and continue these blows until they are subdued.
The blow he is so long preparing may have a recoil to it, which will prostrate the old General.--Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
