eason for preferring any one of them above the others. The battery did efficient service under the command of each of them. The following seems to have been the first company-roll; at least this is the roll showing the organization as of 30th June, 1861. Captain, W. N. Pendleton. First Lieutenant, John Bowyer Brockenbrough. Second Lieutenant, William McLaughlin. Second Lieutenant, William T. Poague. First Sergeant, John McD. Alexander. Second Sergeant, James Cole Davis. Third D. Fishburne, and on the 27th, David R. Barton and Lyt. S. Macon, after it arrived at Camp Stevens, where, also, on the 28th June, E. Holmes Boyd joined it. The history of the company, recorded on the muster-roll, which was made out as of June 30, 1861, has the following which may be of interest: The plain grey cloth uniforms and outfit of blankets, knapsacks, cooking utensils, &c., furnished mainly by Rockbridge county, have been as well preserved as could be expected.

h seems most likely to succeed. Our Fredericksburg friends need not fear that we will play the part of the dog in the manger. Furthermore, we must say that Spotsylvania seems ahead in the race, and unless other competitors pick up a great deal in the course of the next few months, it will distance them all.—The Dispatch.) Roster of Churchville Cavalry. The following is the muster-roll of the Churchville Cavalry, of Augusta county, Va., from the 19th day of April, 1861, to the 30th day of June, 1861. This company was commanded by Captain Franklin F. Sterrett, who was prior to the war colonel of the 160th Regiment of Virginia Militia, having succeeded Colonel John B. Baldwin, of Staunton. Captain Sterret died suddenly of apoplexy at his home, in Augusta county, on Sunday, June 18, 1899. This company was enrolled in active service at Churchville from the 19th day of April, 1861: Franklin F. Sterrett, captain. Robert R. Ruff, first lieutenant. George A. Hanger, second li

imilar bonds, with the privilege, if it was not all taken up, to supply the deficiency by treasury notes, with this restriction, however, that they were not to be put in circulation until the next fiscal year—that is to say, until after the 30th of June, 1861. Another issue of bonds at six per cent., redeemable in twenty years, to the amount of two million eight hundred thousand dollars, was granted for the special expenses of the Territories and of the Indian war of 1856, which had not yet beemade up at the close of the first half of the fiscal year. On the 30th of June, 1860, the Federal debt only represented a nominal capital of sixty-four million seven hundred and sixty-nine thousand nine hundred and one dollars. A year later (June 30, 1861), when the Thirty-seventh Congress was about to assemble, this debt had only reached the figure of ninety million eight hundred and sixty-seven thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight dollars, showing, therefore, a simple increase of twenty-

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.full particulars Frederichsburg, June 30, 1861. I write to inform you of the partially successful issue of a most daring adventure which has been concocted at this place, and executed on the Potomac River and the Bay. Capt. Hollins has just returned from the expedition this evening, and from his report and from personal observation I have collected the following circumstances attending the affair. Friday morning our town was thrown into great commotion by a rumor being spread that a secret expedition was forming, whose object was unknown. Men were seen gathering in small groups at the corners of the streets, conversing on this all-absorbing topic. Some three or four days previously, a gentleman of the name of Thomas was seen about the streets with his head shaved very close and dressed in the Zouave style. He attracted upon himself universal observation, and was even suspected by some of being a spy. He was evidently affecting a

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.letter from a Farmville boy — military affairs. Farmville, June 30, 1861. I have been looking over your good Daily for the last month or two, and have seen but few letters from Farmville. Supposing you have no regular correspondent here, although a boy I take the liberty of saying a few words as to matters about our quiet little town — The only thing that rouses our few remaining citizens from the lethargy into which they have fallen, is the war news. They are expecting to hear of a battle in the vicinity of Alexandria or Manassas. If Lincoln's cut-throats were to meet our brave boys in open field, we could whip them two to one; but old Scott and his master know that too well, and will not try it. They have heard of the big battle at Bethel, where we whipped them four to one, and they are getting a little more cautious. There has a large number of troops passed our town since the first of May. The greater part of them are from

From Petersburg. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Petersburg, June 30, 1861. The refreshing rains of the last two or three days have had the effect of reviving animal as well as vegetable life. For several days the heat has been debilitating, and the earth parched by a rather protracted drought. It has at length received a very copious watering. There seems to be a general good feeling among the farmers of the South-Side counties, many of whom I have conversed with. They have reaped fine crops of grain, and there will certainly be no scarcity of bread; but nobody anticipates high prices for the present. The passage of troops through this city for several weeks past has been constant and the numbers large, but as many of them went on to your city, I presume you have had good views of them. That portion of the Hampton Legion which passed through here a day or two since, is a splendid body of men. They are all young, and most of them occupy high social pos

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Manassas Junction. Manassas Junction. Camp Walker, 5th Reg't, S. C. V., June 30, 1861. All is quiet in our camp to-day, and has been since the fight on last Sunday night, when one cow fell mortally wounded, at the first fire, by a sentinel whose vigilant imagination, after calling her three times without a response, conceived in the dark shade a Yankee in cow's skin, a la mode the Trojan horse, endeavoring to enter our lines; and, intent upon immortal glory, in futuro, and beefsteak in presento, he let slip his deadly rifle and "fetch her," heels up. The alarm having subsided, and the smoke of the battle mingled with the somere shade which deceived the faithful guard, he was ordered to be arrested, and the cow to be skinned. On trial: Plea, "heard of Trojan horse and Stich like." Our excellent Col. Jenkins, no less generous than strict, forgave the sentinel, with a kind admonition, and sentenced the cow to be removed hence, as unw

Army orders. --The following general orders have been issued from the Department at Washington: First--Those volunteers who are now in service in the United States for a longer period than three months will be mustered for payment, to include the 30th of June, 1861. Their officers are cautioned that the troops cannot be paid upon muster-in- rolis, and that rolls proper for this purpose will be sent to them, which, when filled up, they will return to the Paymaster General, in this city, that the pay rolls may be made therefrom. Second--The existing regulations upon the subject of the appointment of sutlers in the army are hereby rescinded, and henceforth these appointments will be made by the Secretary of War. It having been ascertained to the satisfaction of the War Department that Capt. Maury, Assistant Adjutant General; Capt. Carter L. Stevenson, of the 5th infantry, and 2d Lieutenant Dillon, of the 6th infantry, entertain and have expressed treasonable designs

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Laurel Hill Camp. Laurel Hill Camp, Barbour co, Va., June 30, 1861. I shall attempt to give your readers a short article from this encampment, which may be of interest to some of them, as we have many Eastern troops among us. The enemy is still holding Phillippi, with a force of about 8,000. The scouting parties of the two forces frequently meet upon the Fairmont and Beverly Turnpike, and several small fights have come off, our party always getting the better of the scrimmages, and have captured some dozen of the enemy, several horses, and killed four or five of their men, and have not as yet lost a single man. The Northern troops are easy committing outrages which would disgrace savages. Females have been outraged, houses plundered, and women and children driven from their homes. Yesterday, without provocation, they shot Mr. Banks Corlin, of Harrison county, because he was a Secessionist, and burned the barn and farm
