had not yet come, Early had determined to attack Hunter at dawn on the 19th; but, between two suns, Hunter vanished, having lost 100 killed, 500 wounded, and 100 missing. Early was hot upon his heels, McCausland leading with his cavalry. The night of the 19th Ramseur drove his rear guard through Liberty, twenty-five miles away. On the 21st McCausland, always enterprising, struck him again at Hanging Rock in Roanoke country, capturing some guns and prisoners, and Hunter passed on through Craig county to West Virginia. The northern historian, Pond, says in his account of this campaign: The night of June 24th—having passed Sweet Springs—the column reached White Sulphur Springs, and there had delicious water and a good rest. Had Hunter advanced from Staunton June 8th to Lynchburg, through the mountain gaps north of the James, it is hard to tell how he could have been foiled. Had he marched as fast as Early, or been bold enough to assail after he arrived, all the chances of the war wer

Boncack's, in obedience to the orders of General Preston. Yes, left Fincastle, and left not a dry eye nor a tearless cheek behind them.--They left as we would have them leave, not with a senseless smile or self conceited smirk upon their visages, but with minds made up, ready to do and to dare, and if needs be die, in behalf of their proud old mother. Botetourt and Craig will probably send a regiment of brave volunteers into the field. Providing the means. The little county of Craig, on Monday last, by voluntary subscription and by the action of her Court, will amply provide, not only for the equipment of her volunteers, but also for all families that may be left in want by those who volunteer. We learn also, that Montgomery has made up a subscription of $10,000, to be used by her volunteers. A gentleman in Buchanan gives $1,000 for the use of the volunteers of Botetourt. An Editor's farewell. The Tappahannock, "Rural Southerner"contains the following announc

Convention called to meet in Wheeling. Mr. Lewis comes out in a card and says he is not of that party, but a Virginian, ready to stand or fall under her flag. The Alexandria Gazette, of yesterday, says: The Bremen barque Admiral Brommy, Capt. Mayer, from this port, laden with grain, and bound to New York, was stopped at Fort Washington yesterday, and not permitted to proceed on her voyage. She leaves this morning. A correspondent of the Lynchburg Republican, writes from Craig county, May 3d, as follows: A passenger in the stage from the West this evening, informs us that Lincoln has four thousand troops at Gallipolis, Ohio, which is, you know, only three miles from Point Pleasant, on the Virginia side. The people of Kanawha and the other border counties are said to be greatly excited. The news this evening will put this whole section to moving, and we will endeavor to show Lincoln and his hirelings and unprincipled mercenaries, that we will meet them at all p

osquito infested, ague and fever-ridden place called Cairo. James Shelton, who killed Samuel Robinson in Washington county, Va., was examined and discharged by a magistrate, but subsequently re-arrested and committed for trial. The Grand Jury in Baltimore has found a presentment against John Merryman, Esq., on the charge of treason. This is the way the Lincoln Government intends to dodge the contest with Chief Justice Taney. A Mr Holstein was murdered a few weeks ago in Craig county, Va. His wife, two white men and a negro have been arrested on suspicion. Samuel and Jos. Levi, of Union town, Ky., absconded a few days since, leaving an indebtedness of $20,000. John A. Anderson and Wm.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.troops Ea route — things at the White Sulphur. White Sulphur Springs, Va., July 7, 1861. On my way here, a few days ago, I traveled through the counties of Alleghany, Craig, Monroe and Greenbrier, and was informed that from these counties they had sent some very fine companies to the seat of war, while others are now forming and will soon be ready to march to aid in establishing our liberty and independence. Of one thing you may be certain, that the people of this section are thoroughly aroused, and not only ready, but willing to do their duty in this great conflict. All they require is an opportunity to show Lincoln's hirelings how skillfully they can use their favorite and trusty rifles. Two very substantially equipped companies, the "Invincible" from Pittsylvania, and the "Guards" from Appomattox, numbering in all about two hundred men, under command of Capts. Watson and Talbot, arrived here on the morning of the 4th and pitc

ere they procured horses and came on to Suffolk, Va. Our informant says that Capt. Wise was living when he left the island, and he learned from Dr. Coles that he was doing well; but there is still reason to apprehend that his wounds terminated fatally. Capt. Wallace, whom he saw after the battle was over, is unhurt, and also Major Lawson. Lieutenant Miller, he thinks, was wounded in the shoulder early in the engagement, but not dangerously. Mr. Desmond gives a glowing description of the brave and gallant conduct of our men, who contested the field for hours, and refused to yield to vastly superior numbers until their ammunition was exhausted. From other sources, we learn that the following Virginia companies were probably on the Island, and captured by the Federals; Craig Grays, Capt. W. G. Miller, from Craig county; and Captains Darrow's, Cole's, and Crank's, from Albemarle county. Captain Hill's company, from Scottsville, was at Nag's Head, and is consequently safe.
