oking men, and their proficiency in the manual exercise. These two companies, with two others, are now rendezvoused at West Point, but we have heard there is a probability of Captain Richardson's company being transferred to some other point. We har 70 strong, and will probably have 100 enrolled in the course of a few weeks. Lieut. Wm. H. F. Lee, a graduate of West Point, and who served for several years in the United States Army, has been authorized by the Executive to enroll 200 mounted men, who will go immediately into service, after being commissioned. His rendezvous is West Point, and we hear of a great many young men who have joined him. Lieut. Lee is a son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and is a very superior officer. The wheat, Lieutenant.--Mr. J. P. Cox was elected Orderly Sergeant, who is a brother of Capt. H. W. Cox, and was for some time at West Point. A Spotsylvania correspondent sends us the following appropriate notice of the death of Oscar M. Critchfield:

He was in a lucrative practice of law, but has given up all for our just and glorious cause, which every true, patriotic man will do now, if he deserves not the name of man. "Who would be a coward now, Let him basely die." M. A letter from our regular Norfolk correspondent, (which arrived somewhat behind time,) says that the British barque Volant and the Swedish brig Tyres, which were stopped by the blockade in Hampton Roads, and afterwards reported by Pendergrast to have sailed for New York, are probably lying at anchor in Lynnhaven Bay; sent there, no doubt, in order to be out of sight of those whom the blockheads expected would be sent to look after them. The letter also alludes to the fact that the troops at Fortress Monroe have taken possession of wells of water in the neighborhood.

Arrived. --A large number of thumping big soldiers arrived in the Danville cars Saturday morning, from the northern part of Louisiana, accompanied by several servants. By the Petersburg train Saturday night, there arrived half a regiment of Old North State troops.--They went to Howard's Grove. By the Danville route, Sunday morning, the Louisiana boys were largely reinforced; twenty Indians came with the last regiment. A thousand mere troops from Louisiana and Arkansas, and three hundred Indians, were expected last night by the same route, four long trains having left in the morning to bring them on. Two splendid Cavalry companies, fully armed, also arrived from the interior yesterday.

July (search for this): article 1
is not, however, the least foundation for any fear that the interests of peace will find a single advocate among the representatives from the Northern States, with the exception possibly of California. That State, remote from the scene of civil strife, and having no enmity to either of the parties engaged in it, may interpose at least some measures for conciliation. But the war spirit which has arisen in all the Northern States this side of the Rocky Mountains will prevail unchecked, in July, and Congress will act under its influence. A leading Administration paper says that Congress, meeting on the 4th of July, ought to terminate the session on the 13th--that they are not called to enter into general legislation, but to supply the omissions in their legislation of the last session. Money, men and laws, for the punishment of treason, are to be called for. Arrest of a bearer of dispatches. The New York Express, of Thursday evening, says: Mr. Gustavus Holland, a p

on implies a probable purpose, on the part of the British Government, to treat the Southern Confederacy as a belligerent Power, competent to grant letters of marque. We are reminded by a Southern contemporary, the Oxford (Miss) Intelligencer, that in our Revolutionary war the Continental Congress granted letters of marque, which were held to be perfectly valid, two years before we were recognized by any foreign Power, and under which our privateers captured, during the first year , five hundred and thirty British vessels, valued, with their cargoes, we presume, at five millions of dollars. The British Government will not treat the Southern privateers as pirates, and will thus far recognize the competency of the Confederate States to issue letters of marque. This appears to be the purport of Lord John Russell's intimation, so far as we can infer it from the imperfect report we have of his views, which, it is to be remembered, are held, in some respects, subject to revision and modif

roubles.--There is naturally some anxiety on this score. The Washington stone cutters are disappointed to-day, by the ordering a suspension of all further work for the present upon the National Capitol. It is certain that the Confederate troops are making steady approaches to the Capital.--We hear of their fortifications on the Rappahannock, near Fredericksburg, on the line of the railroad, and of the daily augmentation of troops by companies and regiments from the South. So far, Gen. Lee gives out that he acts only to protect Virginia from defence, and nothing more. How happens it, then, that he has allowed the Harper's Ferry Secession troops to cross over into Maryland? Jefferson Davis, besides, is the superior officer in command. The Maryland Secessionists are understood to have a hand in these forward movements. G. A. Scott will not allow any fortifications to go up on the Virginia shore, in the vicinity of the city or on the Potomac. The Secession forces at
