Our cause is just. We are doubly armed. It is a contest for our individual liberty — and notwithstanding the gigantic efforts making at the North, and the united action of a people where, we were told, there existed a conservative element — an element in favor of the South, headed by Filmore, Peirce, and Cushing, who have now come out against us, we are yet not cast down, but resolved to resist to the death in defence of our homes, our firesides, and our liberties.

Having been comfortably quartered at the Naval Hospital at Portsmouth, which is now the headquarters of the Third Regiment, commanded by Col. James Gregory Hodges, Lieutenant Colonel D. J. Godwin, and Major Wm. C. Wingfield, I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to give you an account of things here. The quarters are the finest in the State, and the Regiment well organized. In addition to the eight companies composing the Regiment, we have two others already formed and officered, only awaiting the completion of uniforms to be mustered into service; and when they shall have been mustered in, the Regiment will then be composed of ten companies, numbering in the aggregate about 670 men. We have

te, and the soldiers are the very flower of the South. They are the Macon Volunteers, commanded by Captain Smith, a very eminent lawyer of Macon, who has laid aside a practice of $8,000 or $10,000 to respond to the call of his country; Floyd Rifles, Capt. Thomas Hardaman, member of the last Congress of the United States; City Light Guards, of Columbus, Captain P. H. Colquitt, son of the Ex-Senator, and a gentleman of high legal attainments; and the Spalding Greys, of Spalding county, Captain L. T. Doyal, a jurist of considerable note. By the way, it seems the papers regard all this section of country as Norfolk. Portsmouth is scarcely known, and if so, never spoken of. The Portsmouth troops, (and not those from Norfolk,) took possession of the Navy-Yard, after its evacuation, and the Naval Hospital; and en passant, it might be necessary to state, that immediately after the war-vessels passed the High street wharf of Portsmouth, Col. Hodges, with a detachment of his Regiment, in

Commodore Aulick, of Virginia, we see has gone to Europe, and Capt. Farragut, of the Norfolk Navy, to California. He determined, we hear, to take sides with neither, and so departed to a quiet position. He that is not for us is against us, and he that gathers not with us scatters abroad.

Virginia. H. W. Portsmouth, Va., April 27th. The Hospital grounds were crowded yesterday evening by citizens of the two cities and ladies, to witness the parade and the skirmish drill executed by the Columbus City Guard, commanded by Capt. Colquitt. The manŒuvres were prompt, and by their novelty here attracted the attention of the two thousand assembled to witness them.

Our harbor is now in a comparatively safe condition of defence. At this point we have in command of our Colonel, aided by Captain McIntosh and Lieutenant Sharp, of the Virginia Navy, a powerful battery, the guns of which are of the largest calibre, all taken from the Navy-Yard.
