Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the late Col. Dreux. Fort Davis, Yorktown, July 13th, 1861. To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:--It seems to me perfectly useless to dwell any longer upon the lamentable event which has taken place lately in the killing of Col. Dreux, and such is not my intention; North, South, East and West of this Confederacy, we all came here to defend our common cause, and consequently charges of one section against another cannot, by any means, result in any good. The troops engaged in the late encounter with the enemy, near Newport News, did their duty; and had it not been for the unexpected death of the Lieut Colonel commanding in chief, the result would have proven much more satisfactory, as not one of the Yankees would have escaped unhurt.

Letters from "Oats."[Special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Camp Page, near Williamsburg. July 13, 1861. To do justice is, under all circumstances, only right and proper. I for one, by God's help, will try and not forget the golden rule. In my communication of the 8th inst. I stated, on the authority of a Confederate officer, that a detachment of the Nottoway Cavalry were engaged in the skirmish which resulted in the death of our gallant Dreux. In justice to the Nottoway Troovarre, shall tower proudly in the strife. She may have entered, as some think, slowly into the contest, but her soil and her chivalry, from location and from sentiment, will be first in the fray. Oats. Camp Page, near Williamsburg, July 13, 1861. Hurrah! we have met the enemy, and, as usual, have licked them. Just as I had closed my letter, and was about to mail it, the following information came to hand, and without the shadow of a doubt you may rely upon it as being perfectly
