Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the treachery of Lincoln — Suggestion to extend the Telegraph. Dry Creek, Greenbrier County. Va., May 28, 1861. The citizens here were greatly elated to-day by news received by a gentleman who came by private conveyance from Jackson's river, relative to a battle near Hampton, between a body of Virginians and some of Lincoln's forces from Old Point. The loss of the former was represented as so much larger than the latter, that, although the Virginians were said to have retreated, we considered the affair a great victory for the Old Dominion. Lincoln's invasion of Virginia presents him again before the world as a deceitful and lying public officer, who has destroyed his country to promote his personal ambition and the schemes of his party. He called for men to defend the Capital, and when he concentrates them there be marches them over to Virginia. From the time Gen. Scott was gathering forces in Washington, ostensibly to protect

here the fair assemble to witness the evolutions of the Georgia Regiment, and the Hospital battery, where there are but three companies, has become comparatively eclipsed. Except the Cumberland, the B on's blockading fleet were not in the Roads yesterday. It is not known where they steered for, but surmised either up the James, York, or Potomac rivers.

Myrick, a gentleman of wealth, on Norfolk, commands what is called the Baltimore Artillery Company, and advertises for a few more able-bodied recruits.

s which we of this peninsula witness. We are surrounded by troops; some are from Richmond and some from other parts of Virginia. We of this city witness scenes which we have never beheld before — the marching and counter-marching of soldiers. The witnessing of the citizens of Hampton and surrounding country, who seek shelter in our midst, give us forebodings which cannot be contradicted of the awful scenes which are carried on in those places. I am informed by many that the soldiers of Old Point are stealing negroes, lambs, hogs, and everything of any value which they can lay their hands upon. It stirs us up to madness (and I think it should the whole South) to see such acts as these carried on — to see the hoary headed citizens, the young and helpless, leaving their old homesteads, being driver away by mercenary soldiers. We have here at present many soldiers from all quarters, and are expecting more daily.--We are expecting a battle every moment, and our brave soldiers
