ed be, in its defence. We have heralded, from time to time, these honorable proofs of patriotic devotion in the ranks of the Army and the Navy. Numerous, also, are the instances of similar proofs of generous feeling and fealty in the other departments of the Government. They have been nearly cleared of Southern men.--A considerable number of citizens of Virginia and unseceded Southern States, left Washington the present week. We yesterday met Messrs. A. Moise, Jr. of Tennessee, and Henry Wood, of Albemarle — very worthy gentlemen, who held offices under the Washington Government, and who have "come home." Mr.Moise, who is a native of Charleston, and a member of a very highly respectable family of that name, tendered his services to Virginia to raise a company of Mounted Riflemen in Tennessee, and will leave to-day for the purpose of organizing this force. The accomplished commander of our land forces expressed the highest confidence in the loyalty of Tennessee to the Southern

out of the harbor by the Pawnee. I am happy to inform you that the work of destruction in the Navy-Yard is not so great as we anticipated. Although a train was laid, it is reported, to blow up the Dry Dock, it failed to be executed. All the main buildings are uninjured. The splendid victnalling house and all the timber sheds are whole and entire, and no damage but what I have stated. On Sunday morning the Yard was taken possession of by our volunteers to protect the property. I saw Governor Wise, who was looking well. He was, as always, for action, action, action. Our people went immediately to work to erect a battery on the former U. S. Hospital grounds. They have worked like men. It is superintended by Col. Talcott and Major Walton. The work will be completed as speedily as possible, and will command the approach to the harbor. The battery is composed of eight ten and eight-inch Dahlgreen guns, and will play the devil with the invader, if he dares approach us. On the

teer to fight Mr. Lincoln and his Black Republican hordes. He appealed to all to come up to the contest, as life, liberty and honor were at stake.
