osts represent all quiet today, and no movement whatever has yet been made. The weather is intensely hot. Locomotive No. 160, which was sunk in the Potomac some weeks ago, has been successfully raised and brought ashore in a slightly damaged condition. A flag of truce. Washington, July 8. --The latest report from Arlington is that Major Taylor, of New Orleans, arrived at the camp of the 8th New York Regiment this afternoon. under a flag of truce, with dispatches for President Lincoln. He was detained there, awaiting further orders, and was last from Manassas. unction. It may be proper to state that the visit of the Hon. Henry May to Richmond was not superinduced by the Government, and it is at least probable the dispatches brought under the Flagg of truce are from him. Their character has not transpired.

o can be only constrained to aid in the present unholy crusade; while the special revenue tax proposed by the Secretary will meet with violent opposition in the House, some members of which branch having already framed bills for the repeal or amendment of that monstrosity — the Morrill Tariff; this, not withstanding that both Senate and House are willing that the war should be immediately commenced on a grand scale. I have to chronicle another outrage, or more properly, two of them, by Lincoln's cohorts, alike disgracing to nature and Christianity: On Saturday morning early, a New York Zouave, of the late Col. Ellsworth's Firemen, was at the house of one Margaret Mitchell, of low repute, on Maine Avenue, above 4½ street, and while standing at the door was quarreling with a party in the house about gaining admittance. Finding words fruitless, the soldier (?) drew a pistol and snapped it at the party in the house, who retaliated by shooting the Zouave, killing him. All the pa

Affairs in Utah. --The resignation of Gov. Cumming, of Utah, and his departure for Georgia, has been noticed. The duties of the office then devolved upon Francis H. Wootton, Secretary of the Territory; but this gentleman could not stand Lincoln any better than the Governor, and therefore, on the 5th of June, addressed his Airship the following letter: Sir: Having been appointed by President Buchanan Secretary of the Territory of Utah, I accepted the trust, and have endeavored to discharge my duty. Since then Gov. Alfred Cumming, under leave obtained, has left for the States. In accordance with the provision contained in the third section of an act of Congress, entitled "An Act to establish a Territorial Government for the Territory of Utah," I am now the Acting Governor of Utah. The recent course of your Administration makes it inconsistent with my sense of duty to longer hold office under you, and I accordingly tender you my resignation. As I am the only Exe

$300 on the steward, $2,500 on Dr. Bradley, being the amount of private property destroyed belonging to these gentlemen. The crew lost about $100 each. A large barn, 100 feet long by 45 wide, with 7 horses, several wagons, carriages, harness and other property, belonging to the West Castleton railroad and Slate Company, Vermont, was entirely consumed last Saturday morning about 1 o'clock. Loss estimated at $2,000 The barn was insured for $800 The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. A colored boy, 14 years of age, perished in the flames. Hon. Henry May left Baltimore on Tuesday last for Richmond, Va., where he now is — Various rumors are in circulation in relation to his visit. Previous to his starting, he had an interview with President Lincoln, but whether in connection with his visit is not known. It is said to day that he was invited to Richmond by Jeff. Davis, and that he is accompanied by two prominent Pennsylvanians, both friends of the Government.

the principle upon which all parties acted,--those who denounced Mr. Marcy quite as much as his political friends. Abraham Lincoln is only at the present moment attempting a more extended and literal application of this principle. He was elected roach to a statesman that such a people can produce. He is a man of education, and in that respect has the advantage of Lincoln and some of his colleagues; but his history proves that he is, like all the rest of the United States Cabinet, a cultivatinue to add to Northern strength and to Southern weakness. He could not understand that such a proclamation as that of Lincoln would divide the country forever, and eternally ruin Northern trade and manufactures. Happy is it for the South that Wm. H. Seward is the Primacy of Lincoln's Administration, sad that this fatal blunderer is its main reliance for carrying on the present war. The time will come when this can section wild repudiate and denounce him as the worst enemy of that Union whi

It therefore behooved Kentucky to be prudent, as her position was eminently a perilous one. But the great heart of Kentucky throbbed in sympathy with the South. As for himself, he had been a devoted Union man — was an intense Union man until Lincoln's proclamation of the 15th April. Then he felt that it was time to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard. All that he had, or was — his heart and soul, property and all — was dedicated to the cause of Southern independence, and old as he wdy to shoulder his musket in the ranks of his fellow-countrymen, to vindicate Southern rights and honor upon the battle-field. Every heart beat in unison with the conviction that our brave soldiers in Virginia would conquer the proud cohorts of Lincoln. But suppose-our brave and gallant brethren shall be driven out of the Old Dominion, shall we yield up our arms and give up the contest ? [Loud cries of No ! No !] No ! the blood of our brave men fallen in such a conflict would rise up as incen<

Despotion in Alexandria.the right of prayer denied, The following facts are communicated to the Baltimore Exchange, by an Alexandria correspondent. The outrage is said to have created in tense excitement there: Alexandria, Va., July 8. To a people once accustomed to enjoy the fullest liberty, oppression goes hard. Our sins against the assumed power of Abraham Lincoln have been most heavily visited upon us, and deep is the wound inflicted upon the people by the iron heel of despotism. Daily are the cords tightened, and daily are we made to feel the authority of kind "protectors."--The Northern arms never meet with the slightest reverse — never run afoul of a pigpen, or a masked battery — that our community is not made to feel deeply the wrong that has been done, in daring to obstruct the passage of our "protectors" on their journey to Richmond. Yesterday the cup of our humiliation was filled to the brim, and an insult offered to humanity and Christianity, which

al citizens!" Such men can easily be spotted. Because we believe that if these men had a good opportunity — if they had the power over us which we now have over them — they would delight themselves in arresting and killing us, as the minions of Lincoln are doing, wherever they have the power, and are not restrained by their cowardly dread of retaliating vengeance, we think that every consideration of safety to ourselves demands that those men among us who sympathize with Lincoln and are opposeLincoln and are opposed to our institutions and our cause, ought to be dealt with according as they would deal with us, and as their allies are dealing with our friends who have unfortunately fallen into their power. The North and the South are now not only two separate and distinct Governments, but they are also two people. It is absurd for any man to expect to belong, in all his sympathies and wishes, to the former, and yet while war rages remain in the latter, and claim or expect any other privileges than t
