The great, powerful, glossy black horses, with ponderous troopers on their backs, their burnished arms and equipments glistening in the morning sun, formed a spectacle in the highest degree granted. We marched on towards Alexandria through the dust, and over brooks, creeks, and small rivers, until late in the day, and had halted to rest a little while, when General Bonham, the commander of the forces about here, surrounded by a large number of officers, rode up and us a small speech, informing us that the detachment of the enemy (about 500 strong) who had occasioned the alarm by some predatory excursion, had returned to Alexandria, having killed the unfortunate viderte mentioned above and taken the other, both of whom, with their eyes wide open, had gone, very rashly, close in on them. The General, in his speech, thanked us for our zeal and alacrity, sa

From Camp Pickens. our journey — Attentions on the Route — bouquets from the ladies — alarm in Camp — Pruitlishes march in Search of the enemy — disappointment — magnificent sight, etc. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch] Camp Pickens, May 28th, 1861. Our journey to this place was very slow, owing to the prolonged stoppages at different stations to prevent a collision with other trains. It was made very pleasant, however, by the cheers from the honest hearted country people and the bouquets from the ladies, who seemed to stretch in a continuous line from Richmond to Gordonsville. In one place about haft-way on the road, every girl in the country seemed to have prepared a small package with something nice in it, tied up with a piece of paper containing an appropriate mo or exhortation, signed with her own names. As for bouquets, every man in the Regiment was smothered with them, and I doubt whether we will get over the hoarseness from constant cheeri

pment, the Regiment formed into line at a double quick, and, wheeling out of the camp with great rapidity, marched off on the road to Alexandria, expecting to meet the enemy's vanguard every moment, (which we did not meet, however). All along the road we met wagons, carriages, and other vehicles conveying families and chattels, coming down for safety, while every now and then some General, Colonel, or staff officer would pass us at a gallop, the only one of whom any of us recognized was Colonel Pression. We also passed Mrs. Moreton Marye in a carriage, just coming from Alexandria. About two miles from camp I saw the most splendid sight of the kind that I ever dreamed of. Just on our right, a quarter of a mile off from the road, a large body of Cavalry, from the upper counties, swept over the slope of a hill to a beautiful green field, taking everything in their stride, and moving with more regularity than I ever saw men move.

Four Steamers appeared off Acquia Creek yesterday, two of whom commenced firing on the Confederate battery, which replied, with what effect could not be ascertained, as the steamers kept a respectable distance from shore. No damage to our side. The cars on the Fredericksburg Railroad that ought to have arrived at 2 o'clock, were detained to convey a number of Confederate troops from Fredericksburg to the Creek.

ne regiment, stationed near his house, there are four hundred Baptists, some of whom are deacons and sons of clergymen. There are noonday prayer-meetings, and frequently several such meetings at the same hour. A soldier stated that he had a book which had been read by nearly a hundred of his comrades, and that " Baxter's Saints' Rest" was still in demand. Rev. Mr. Hume gave some thrilling incidents which he had gathered while visiting among the brave men congregated in his city. Rev. L. W. Allen, of Nashville, Tenn., said that he had frequently heard it remarked, while passing through the South, that large numbers of our very best church members are engaging in the war. One half of a company he met with in Georgia are Baptists. He wanted the Baptists to send pious, devoted colporteurs among soldiers. Rev. C. Tyree, of Powhatan county, said he had just extended the parting hand to ten of the members of his church, and he wanted good books sent to them. Rev. A. E. Dick

asked for advice in regard to colportage among the soldiers. Rev. R. Ryland, President of Richmond College, urged that colporteurs ought to be sent into the army. He had visited among the 500 soldiers stationed at the college, had found it exceedingly pleasant to engage in such labors, and had reason to hope that good had been effected. One young man who had been trained in Sunday Schools, when asked if he was a Christian wept most profusely, and seemed to be anxiously enquiring after Christ. In visiting a sick soldier, and inquiring after his health, the sick man said, placing his hand on his heart, all is not well here. Dr. Ryland urged that Christians visit camps, not so much to gratify curiosity as to talk with them on the subject of religion and to distribute good books. Dr. Ryland requested that constant, fervent prayer be made for the soldiers. Rev. Dr. Sampson, President of Columbian College, in Washington, D. C., had recently given much attention to this matter,

nted by these expressions of the brethren to send out colporteurs into the army, and that he hoped to be able to have ten of his best men in this work during next week. Rev. R. Ryland read the report on Education, which was discussed by Revs. G. B. Taylor, A. Broadus, T. G. Keen, J. B. Hardwick, M. T. Sumner, and others. I will send you some interesting quotations of Dr. Ryland's report. Rev. T. G. Keen read a report on Domestic and Indian Missions, in which touching allusion was made to the death of the late Capt. Fisher, of this city, who was for years Treasurer of that Board. Rev. M. T. Sumner, of Alabama, advocated the claims of this department. Rev. J. B. Solomon is now reading an admirable report on the state of the country, which I know you will be glad to publish, and which will be read with unbounded pleasure by Southern Christians. To day's cars have brought us an addition of some forty delegates, and now we have a pretty full delegation. Yours, &c.,

Dr. Ryland requested that constant, fervent prayer be made for the soldiers. Rev. Dr. Sampson, President of Columbian College, in Washington, D. C., had recently given much attention to this matter, and had secured the passage of a resolution, asking the American Bible Society to make grants of Testaments for Southern soldiers as well as those in the Northern army. While traveling in Europe, Dr. S, had noticed with great pleasure the circulation of small Testaments and tracts among the soldiers in Italy, and remarkable instances of good had come to his notice.
