communication. When the contest became general, and in the thickest of the light, might be seen an elderly gentleman, not at all connected with the army, with no impulse, or motive, other than the same that warms the heart, and nerves the arm of all true Southern men in the glorious cause of our second independence, tiding in the rear of the line, encouraging the men to conquer, or nobly die on the soil of their "sunny South." I have heard it suggested by the soldiers engaged, that George Calvert, of Fauquier county, Va., should have the commission of a General, for his bravery and happy influence on that occasion. The old gentleman would halloo at the top of his voice, where "leaden rain and iron hail" fell thick and fast around him, to the men "Boys, if you fail, God grant you may a seat around the throne of the God of Battles — fight on, and the victory is ours in time and in eternity — fortune favors the brave--God will save the brave — fear not no harm shall come near you

is a desideratam with editors. I'll try at that. The ball was opened about 8 o'clock, A. M., by Captain Duff's Company of Seventeenth Mississippi Volunteers, who had been thrown out as skirmishers and, from that time, with occasional intermission, the firing continued during the day. Towards half-past 3 it became general, and from that time until dark, it was awful. The 8th Virginia regiment, commanded by Col. Hunter, (than whom a braver man tread not the soil,) supported by Captain Fletcher a company, of the 13th Mississippi volunteers, gallantry led the charge. Reinforced by the 18th Mississippi volunteers, Col. Burt, and 17th Mississippi volunteers, Col. Feather stone, the battle became general. Fiercely was every inch of ground contested, but doubly did our brave boys bear themselves until at last, after having taken their battery of one rifled cannon (12 pounder) and two howitzers, the enemy gave way, and such a route it can only be compared to the famous run from th

Others may count the enemy stain on the battle field; I know not the number, but I guess not less than 150; the wounded I guess not less than 500, and 88 for the prisoners. I know to be not less than 700, making in all of what I guess and know killed, wounded, and prisoners, to be upwards of thirteen hundred. The Federal forces were led by Gen. Baker of Oregon, late Senator of the United States, who, as you have learned, was killed on the battle field. I pause. Shall I? Can I have sympathy for any man who invades my home, and strives to lay waste the loveliest portion of God's creation, destroy my property, murder my wife and children?

ors the brave--God will save the brave — fear not no harm shall come near you — not the smell of fire shall be upon your garments-- ' In the God of Battles trust.' -- You are in a glorious cause — fight on, my brave boys! fight on! and may the Lord have mercy upon you, and bring you off victorious." I will here venture an opinion, and belief, that these, with other pious ejaculations uttered by that good, pious whole-souled Southern gentleman, whose locks have been whitened by the frosts of three score years and ten, without disparagement, did as much, if not more, to encourage the men on the battle-field of Leesburg to deeds of heroism, and to urge them on from "conquering to conquest," than did the General in command with all his military skill and ability. Such noble proofs and exhibitions of self-sacrificing heroism should be recorded, and with pleasure I chronicle the same. More anon. Loudoun. P. S.--Col. Burt's remains started for home this morning

[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Oct. 28, 1861. After a heavy rain of yesterday, the wind changed to north ward, and the weather today is clear, cold, and windy. The change in the temperature last evening was very sudden — a quick transition from summer to winter. The weather has been very heavy for several days along the coast, and the tide has been quite high. The fleet in Hampton Roads is still increasing, and the number of vessels is now estimated at one hundred. The horses that were mentioned as being on board the Great Republic and a large steamer, have been landed. It appears that they lost some of them over-board, and the bodies of three have floated ashore on the beach near Cape Henry, with gearing attached to them. A cap of a Federal soldier floated ashore a few days ago near Willoughby's Point, about eight miles below the city. In this cap, which was probably lost overboard accidentally, were two Boston papers — the Traveller, of t

hich passed off with great eclat on Thursday night, will be repeated to-night, the proceeds to be appropriated in behalf of an expedition, the nature of which has not been made public. The object of this secret expedition is of course to damage our Northern enemies in some way, and is being gotten up by some of the members of company F, of this city, and sanctioned by prominent officers. Nothing further has been done in the case reported about a week ago, relative to an affray in which Hughes, the toll-keeper at the drawbridge over Elizabeth river, was badly injured. The investigation of the affair in the Mayor's Court was postponed, The quarterly term of the Corporation Court commences here to-day. Several cases of some interest will, I learn, be up for examination. I am informed that Major Lamb, who has been announced for Congress from this Congressional district, withdraws his name from the list of candidates, and will vigorously prosecute the duties of the office

Several cases of some interest will, I learn, be up for examination. I am informed that Major Lamb, who has been announced for Congress from this Congressional district, withdraws his name from the list of candidates, and will vigorously prosecute the duties of the office which he now holds in the Confederate army, and one which, for the present at least, he can debate his commanding talents and industrious efforts, greatly to the benefit of a considerable portion of our army. No man in the service will labor more zealously for Southern independence. I regret to find that the mall
