From Yorktown.Federal outrages — Burning of Hampton — Conjectured movement of the hessians, &c.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Yorktown July 29, 1861.
Three weeks sickness has prevented your correspondent from picking up and sending you some items that might have proved interesting to your readers.
There is not much, however, going on, except the continual annoyance to which our people in the lower part of this peninsula are subjected by the barbarians of the North.
It seems really hard to apply such a term to men with whom we have long been on terms of social and political intimacy; but when men deliberately ignore and set aside all the rules of civilized life and the laws of honorable warfare, and descend to such deeds as would make any but a savage blush for shame, why should we not call men as well as things by their right names, and term them "barbarians? " Having already plundered nearly every house within their reach about Hampton, they have lately gone a s
Our correspondents continue to furnish us with narratives of occurrences incident to the war, some of which we append, commencing with.
A Lady's account of the invasion of Charlestown by the great Patterson.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Charlestown, July 29, 1861.
We dare ask a place in your much read columns, as Charlestown now suspects herself of some importance, Yankeedem having visited us for the second time — the first visit in a Drown raid of twenty-two men, the second in a Lincoln raid of thirty thousand.
Of the first you know.
A little of the second we will try to tell you. Our town, which since the noble Southern army marched through, has been the perfection of quietness, was on Wednesday (17th) thrown into confusion by the cry of "They come!--They come!" Now this "they" was well known by every rational animal, from man to monkey, to mean exactly what did come — the barbers, swearers and thieves of Yankee land.

Headquarters 4th Ala. Regiment, Camp Bee, near Manassas, July 29, 1861. Gen. Whiting, Commanding 3d Brigade Army of the Shenandoah: Sir:
--In obedience to your order of the 26th inst., I submit the following report of the operations of this regiment, immediately preceding and during the battle of the 21st inst.:
On the evening of Thursday, the 18th of July, we left our camp near Winchester, and started, upon a forced march, across the Blue Ridge, en route for Manassas.
We marched all that night and the next day, arriving at Piedmont after nightfall on the 19th.
At that point we took the cars and arrived at Manassas Junction about 9 o'clock on Saturday, the 20th.
Our tents were left at Winchester, and the supply of food was scant and insufficient.
The men arrived at Camp Walker about ten o'clock A. M. on Saturday, hungry and much jaded by the exposure and fatigue.
We bivouacked that day and night, obtaining some food,
Mr. Russell's third letter.on the battle of Manassas.[Correspondence of the London Times] Washington, July 29, 1861.
On this day week the Confederates could have marched into the Capital of the United States.
They took no immediate steps to follow up their unexpected success.
To this moment their movements have betrayed no fixity of purpose or settled plan to pursue an aggressive war, or even "to liberate Maryland if they have the means of doing so."
And, indeed, their success was, as I suspected, not known to them in its full proportions, and their loss, combined, perhaps, with the condition of their army, as much as a political and prudential motives, actuating their leaders, may have had a fair share in producing the state of inactivity with which the Federalists have no reason to be dissatisfied.
The "Special correspondent" attempts a diplomatic view of our Union position.
Let us look around, now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, and try to examine
