And even amid the spotless throng which surround The Throne of the Eternal, was found a disaffected one, Who for he "mutiny he bred," was hurled over the Shining battlements which encircle the celestial sphere. And sinking down into the darkness of the lowest deep, Holds court with friends. Fit prototype of he grey-haired traitor Scott! Whom once "It was thy delight to honor." May thy children, Forget he lives; may his name and "deeds" be buried in, Oblivion, and leaving him to the justice of an avenging God. Emn the example of thy illustrious dead, and with.

Richardson, who left Bull Creek at 8 o'clock this morning, report no general fight since Thursday, when the Federalists fell back; but early in the morning occasional firing from skirmishers was heard. Gen. McDowell told Col. Richardson he should hereafter first examine the location of the enemy's batteries before engaging the enemy. New York, July 20.--The "World" newspaper says there is no truth in the reported fighting at Bull's Point to-day. Gen. Scott says that the army will make no new movement to day, nor is it likely that it will before Saturday. The Evening Post says that the official report says twelve were killed and forty wounded, but it is supposed that more were killed in the woods near the creek. [Third Dispatch.] Washington, July 20. --An official dispatch dated at Bull's Creek, at seven o'clock P. M., on Friday, says "there has been no fighting since yesterday."

e are many people in the community weak enough to believe it an easy task for Gen. Scott to invade Virginia as far as Richmond, from the line of the Potomac. If the undertaking had been one at all facile of accomplishment, Gen. Scott would long since have been quartered in our city; for there is no point in the whole South which The army of invasion would of course have to be of very huge dimensions. Gen. Scott's system of war consists in doing nothing at all unless he has the means in srtake a demonstration upon Richmond with thirty-five or forty thousand men; General Scott would scarcely venture upon it with less than fifty thousand, supported by s certainly not too large a preparation for making assurance doubly sure; and Gen. Scott, who would have a reputation to protect, as well as a campaign to make, is a invasion of Virginia projected against Richmond. We do not believe that Gen. Scott has at command five thousand horses; and as it is impossible to mobilize an a

ched up through the fire of the enemy within ten feet of the enemy's bayonets, when the fire became so hot that we had to retreat. We retreated about twenty yards down the road, where we again formed a line, but concluded not to advance again as we had only 83 men and the enemy between four and five hundred men, and the most of them were in ambush. We marched down the mountain about two hundred yards, when we met Col. Pegram with about three hundred men to reinforce us. He then led us up to the top of the mountain for the purpose of driving the enemy from that position; but after getting there and finding the enemy in such force he abandoned the idea and placed us under the command of Major Tyler, to join Col. Garnett's command, but after getting to Beverly we heard that Gen. Garnett was retreating from Laurel Hill. We then marched to Huttonsville and joined Col. Scott's regiment. Col. Pegram is now a prisoner in Beverly and Gen. Garnett is dead. A Survivor of Rich Mountain.
