a week, and have not done anything except to have the usual dress parades, so we have had a glorious rest, which we very much needed. I am almost afraid if we remain here much longer there will be a disposition to become lazy, a supposition to such extent would be quite plausible now. I doubt very much it the Hessians, at Old Point, are enjoying themselves as well as we are; not quite. I understand, through a very reliable source, that the Federal army, stationed at their stronghold, Fortress Monroe, have a sick list of about 5,000 Yankees. This is the number of these who are bodily sick; those who are sick mentally doubtless exceed the number I have stated. The weather which we have had here for several days would kill an army of Yankees in marching ten miles. without requiring the expenditure of our bullets. It is suggested in our camp that we appoint a committee of invitation to wait upon Butler, inviting him to send on several thousand more of his command to enjoy our un

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.a Trick of the enemy. By the Northern papers we are accounts of their having within fortress Monroe several Southern officers of high rank. By one account we find the following; "Our brave accounts brought in to-day a Secession Captain." By another; "Yesterday some of our valiant Albany boys caught a rebel Major in the woods," &c, &c. Now all this is easily explained. These brave and valiant men caught come unarmed citizens of Elizabeth City county, and carried them into the Fort. They are their prisoners of war that Butter brags about. So soon as they catch them, they call them Captains, Majors, &c. The last capture they made was that of a poor tin pedlar, who was passing from one of our camps to another. He was engaged in selling tin cups, canteens, &c. they dubbed Colonel, and he is the officer mentioned in several of their accounts as of that high den Thinking that some of your readers might think it strange how the Ya

Bank injustice! The following, paragraph in a letter from Fortress Monroe, dated June 20th, to a Northern paper, complains of very great injustice to a distinguished Virginian. The reader will be struck with the remarkable prophetic vision of this noted gentleman with reference to the "desolution which now overhangs his estate near Hampton," and which be so assiduously endeavored to avert! In consideration of the important services to the Federal Government stributed to him, that Governygeia Hotel" by paying him the full value of both.--If Lincoln doesn't do this, he is indeed ruthless, and should be "damued to everlasting redemption!"

The officers at Fortress Monroe know too well his sentiments to credit such reports, He has been universally respected by them for his strong Union views, and the desolation which now

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from the Seaboard. Pm's Point, Camp Jackson, June 26, 1861. Yesterday evening, at 1 o'clock, another flag of truce conveyed to Fortress Monroe a number of women and children from Norfolk, bound Northward. The steamer Empire, Capt. Parrish, was selected for the occasion. As much as we should be disposed to show leniency toward such persons of Northern sympathies, I think it prudent that we should look to our own interest in at once stopping all communication with so base and unprincipled a minion as we have to contend with — For our humanity and kindness we have received nothing as yet but insults. We send their friends and relations to Fortress Monroe for them. Our kindred and friends came to us from the North only with the escape of their lives. They are threatened whilst in the midst of Abolltionism with imprisonment for expression of opinion; contempt and scorn are heaped upon them because they sympathize or even wish to come
