a hard fought field. Our forces have won a glorious victory. The enemy was routed and fled precipitately, abandoning a very large amount of arms, munitions, knapsacks and baggage. The ground was strewn with those for miles, and the farm houses and grounds around were filled with his wounded. The pursuit was continued along several routes towards Leesburg and Centreville until darkness covered the fugitives. We have captured several field batteries and regimental standards, and one United States flag. Many prisoners have been taken, Too high praise can not be bestowed, whether for the skill of the principal officers, or for the gallantry of all the troops. The battle was warmly fought on our left, several miles from our field works — our force engaged there not exceeding fifteen thousand, that of the enemy estimated at thirty-five thousand. Jeff.

The Daily Dispatch: July 23, 1861., [Electronic resource], Prayer proposed. (search)
Prayer proposed. --A distinguished Professor in one of our Universities proposes, through a Georgia paper, that at precisely one o'clock, every day, until these calamities be over past, a few minutes be set apart for prayer by each individual in the Confederate States, for in States which sympathize with the Southern Confederacy. There may be no meeting for prayer at any particular place, but let each one for himself, wherever he may be at one o'clock, spend a little while in devout supplication to the Almighty. Let the merchant retire for a moment from his counting-room, or if this be not possible, let him lift up his heart to God in pious ejaculation; let the farmer stop his plough in the furrow; let the mechanic stay his hand from labor; let the physician pause a moment on his mission of mercy; let the lawyer lay aside his brief; let the student rest from his toil; let the mother lay her babe in the cradle; let the busy housewife suspend her domestic cares; let every man, wh

Foreign consuls in the South. --The Jackson Mississippian, in a strong article in reference to the foreign policy of the Confederate States, says: Let us demand of all foreign nations that they accredit their consuls and other agents to the Confederate States of America, and not to the United States, or recall them at ol foreign nations that they accredit their consuls and other agents to the Confederate States of America, and not to the United States, or recall them at once. To let these agents remain among us in their official capacity, as we are now doing, is misplaced courtesy, altogether unbecoming an independent and self reliant people. ll foreign nations that they accredit their consuls and other agents to the Confederate States of America, and not to the United States, or recall them at once.

the Southern States at Montgomery, prohibiting, under heavy penalties, the exportation of cotton or of cotton yarn, "except through the seaports of the said Confederate States." And this prohibition is to continue so long as any of the ports of the South are blockaded by the Government of the United States. The object of this actUnited States. The object of this act clearly is to retaliate upon the Northern States, by preventing them from obtaining for their manufactures a supply of the raw material overland. It would appear, therefore, that for the present all commerce in American cotton is effectually cut off. The blockade of the Southern posts by the navy of the North on the one hand, andnst the inland traffic on the other, must entirely shut up at least the ordinary channels of traffic. But there is a clause in the recent act passed by the Confederate States which indicates that a new outlet may be found in the present crisis for the great staple of the South. The provision to which we refer is in the following

The Stay law in North Carolina. --The Wilmington Journal states, on the authority of a private letter from Raleigh, that the Supreme Court of North Carolina, on the 5th inst, decided the Stay Law of that State to be null and void, as being opposed alike to that prevision of the Constitution of the United and Confederate States, which says, that no State shall pass an ex post facto law, or a law impairing the obligations of contracts.

ening by the arrival of a Federal deserter in charge of a detachment of Capt. Clanton's Montgomery Mounted Rifles. He has a fine open face and talks pretty freely, and is not at all backward in giving a full account of the enemy and their fortifications. He sailed as a sailor on board the Niagara from Boston, where he had just arrived from a long cruise, and where he first heard of our political troubles, but was ordered to sea again almost immediately after his arrival. He has been a United States sailor for eight years, and was born in Maine. From him we glean that he was landed on Santa Rosa Island from the Niagara when she was here last, and has been standing guard on the island up to the time of his escape.--He affected his escape on Saturday night last by walking fourteen miles up the island and then swimming two miles across the sound to the vicinity of Capt. Clanton's camp, where he gave himself up to their hands. He reports but three sand batteries on the island with hea

shed himself by his bravery in the battles of Palo Alto and Reseca de la Palma. In August, 1846, he was made 1st Lieutenant, and called by Gen. Taylor to his personal staff, on which he served until January, 1849. For his "gallant and meritorious conduct in the several conflicts at Monterey, Mexico," he was breveted Captain; and again, on the desperate field of Buena Vista, he was breveted Major for "gallant conduct." Since the close of the Mexican war, he has been attached to 7th Infantry, U. S. Army. Upon the dissolution of the Union he resigned his commission, and joined his fortunes with those of his native State. In recognition of his merits, he was appointed by President Davis Brigadier General in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, and placed in command of one of the corps d'armee sent to crush out the Abolition traitors of the Pan Handle. He died nobly in the performance of his duty, the first general officer to fall in the cause of Southern independence.

ody of police officer Bibb, and locked up for being a suspicious character, and using incendiary language. Todd hails from Lexington, Kentucky. He was heard by sundry witnesses reviling prominent leaders of Confederate State forces as "d — d traitors," and indulging in other opprobrious epithets towards the South and its defenders, when he was immediately seized. Prisoner (who has an impediment in his speech) is a brother of Lieutenant David H. Todd, an officer in the service of the Confederate States--a gallant and meritorious gentleman. He is also a brother of Mrs. Lincoln, wife of Abraham Lincoln, President of the Northern States. He had on his person one or more letters franked to him at Lexington, Kentucky, by "A. Lincoln, M. C.," written no doubt when that notorious personage was a member of the lower House of Congress; also, a letter to "Gov. John Letcher" introducing "Dr. Todd;" also, a letter introducing the bearer to Maj. Thos. Hardeman, 2d Battalion Georgia Volunteers,

heir influence beginning to tell upon the leading journals of the country, but the private correspondence received indicates that the great heart of the British people is throbbing with our own. The message of the "so-called" President of the United States will only add to the flame. Its lack of statesmanship and humanity, its fierce temper and disregard of legal and constitutional obligations, and the spirit of tyranny which breathes in every line, will open to the understanding of the nation. It is, therefore, a very pretty problem to solve, whether three or four hundred millions with find in the now suspicious matters of the world the same welcome as heretofore. The United States Congress may admire Mr. Lincoln's calls for money, but their endorsement will not raise the wind either at home or among the lynx-eyed capitalists of Europe, who know that cotton is the only security the United States can offer for payment, and that it hasn't a bale of the article in its possession.

The produce loan. --The following letter in reply to questions for information, and explanation, will be interesting to many readers: Confederate States of America,Treasury Department. Richmond July 11, 1861. Sir: --Your letter of the 6th instant makes an inquiry which I find repeated from several other quarters, to which I think it best to make a public reply. The inquiry is, whether, in case no sales can be made before the day named, in the Cotton subscriptions, without a sacrifice of the property, the sales are still to be insisted on. I answer, certainly not — The day named is upon the presumption that the blockade will be broken, and that sales of produce can be then made. I propose to submit another plan to provide for the contingency of a continuance of the blockade, which will allow an indefinite retention of the crop. But it constitutes no part of either plan to force the produce on the market at a sacrifice. C. G. Memminger, With much respect, your ob
