Outrages committed by the "Grand Army" in Fairfax county. Fairfax C. H., Va., July 6. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Though full details of our recent glorious victories over the army of the so-called United States have been given to the public, I have seen no published account of the depredations committed by these Hessians on their march and retreat through this county.

In the memorable campaign from Vera Cruz to Mexico, he achieved honors of which a veteran officer might well have been proud In addition to his regular promotions during that campaign, Le of Manassas he carped an on viable and never-dying distinction.

al Dundas, commanding the British squadron off Charleston harbor, notifying the British Minister at Washington that in accordance with instructions from his Government, be had examined into the blockade established by Lincoln's vessels at that point, and such examination had convinced him that it was ineffective, and by the law of nations null and void.

The facts the Admiral requested Lord Lyons to lay before Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Lincoln's Prime Minister, who is reported on the same authority to have "waxed exceeding wroth," and threatened the British Empire with all the vengeance capable of being bestowed by the Army and Navy of the late United States-- We trust these tidings may be verified.
