The invasion of Alexandria.the capture of Capt. Ball's Cavalry and Subsequent treatment.shooting of Col. Ellsworth.disgraceful conduct on the part of Lincoln's troops.&c., &c., &c.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Manassas Junction, May 27, 1861. Messrs. Editors:--Having seen no authentic statement of the occupation of Alexandria, it may be of interest to your readers to know some of the details. Early on the morning after the election, (about 3 o'clock,) notice was given that preparations were in active progress for the occupation of Alexandria by the Federal troops. The Captain of the Pawnee came over with a flag of truce, and notified Colonel Territt that the troops in town must surrender or evacuate by 9 o'clock. By order of General Lee, commandant of Virginia forces, the troops were ordered to evacuate. Having done so twice before, the order was not promptly obeyed, our indeed was the notice sufficiently exciting to make them do so. In accordance wit

hortness of time allowed. The troops are now here having left many articles of clothing and camp equipments. It must be all right, now that delay has put us behind in preparation; but it galls Virginians very much to have to yield their soil, even for a moment. Trusting to the skill and bravery of our commanding officers, we hope soon to see the vandals driven from our borders. The vandals are driving out our citizens, whilst such men as Close, late of the Southern Protection Office; Liggon, bookseller; Bennett, daguetreotypist, and other "Union" men are acting as special guides to the demons who hold reign in Alexandria. Both journals have been discontinued, and the editor of the Sentinel retired with the soldiers. As yet the offices have not been destroyed, nor any special violence exhibited How much longer this will continue we can't sell, as the vandals declare their intention of holding the place for all time. The affair at the Marshall House you have already hea

close by, immediately fired upon him with Minnie rifles, shooting him in the face, and stabbing him afterwards. P. S.--There are many other matters of interest which could not be put in this communication. It is reported since the above was written that a number of stores have been broken open, the Mansion House seized and occupied, the depot books torn up and the safe rifled of $75, the Court-House seized and the papers all burnt, besides a number of arrests made — among the rest, Robt. Ashby, the merchant, than whom a better man does not live. In addition to the above, it is positively stated that a number of rapes have been perpetrated, and all the deeds which you might naturally expect from an unprincipled set of men who are following in their train. These facts are in the main fully authentic; the rest well sustained by current testimony. It will thus be seen that we must put out our whole strength, and humbly invoking the blessing of Heaven on our cause, advance

Painful accident. --We regret to learn that Charles Y. Morriss, Esq., lost his right hand at his residence in Sidney on Monday night, by the accidental discharge of a Sharp's rifle, which he was examining in presence of a number of his friends. The ball carried off nearly the whole hand, and it was found necessary to amputate it above the wrist. Dr. Gibson performed the operation. It was feared yesterday that lockjaw would ensue. The mutilation of Mr. M., who is a public, spirited, enterprising, benevolent and patriotic citizen, is a source of general regret. The weapon which produced the casualty was one of a number with which he proposed to arm a company of volunteers recently raised and equipped by himself for service against the common enemy.
