s almost our entire regiment is from Richmond, it will be gratifying perhaps to our friends to hear how we prosper. Leaving Richmond yesterday at 12½ P. M., we arrived here safely and pleasantly at 3½. We noticed two formidable batteries on the way; one at City Point, (or several miles below, rather,) the other at Jamestown, in progress of construction. The soldiers at these two points cheered us heartily as we passed. After much delay in getting off our baggage, eight companies--Capts. Tucker, Atkinson, Dabney, Childrey, Lloyd, Tally, Charters and Lybrock--took up the line of march for Williamsburg, leaving squads to guard and forward their baggage to-day. Capt Dance's company were sent by steamer last night up to Jamestown, three miles distant, and the Virginia Life Guard, Capt. Walker, (of which your correspondent is a member,) was left here to defend, if necessary, and look after the baggage and commissary stores. The Colonel and staff of course went on with the main bod

e returned, that visit repaid, and the thickly-settled towns and fertile fields of Ohio be made to yield the most usurious interest for the debt of vengeance they have contracted. There is not a State in the Union which offers such opportunity for armed retaliation and reprisals as the State of Ohio; and if there is the least enterprise or energy in the South or in Virginia, that vileden of abolitionism will be made to smoke from one end to the other with the flames of retribution. When Judge Tucker once said that the people of Ohio were below their own hogs in character, we believe that he uttered on the whole a proposition which no one who has thoroughly studied the nature and instincts of the two races would have the hardihood to deny. The character of Ohio is an exaggeration of the worst points of the Puritan character; it is "lewd, sensual, devilish," without one trace of the few redeeming virtues which preserved some likeness to humanity in the original stock.

w direction. Mr. Stuart resigned the editorial charge he had hold over it for two years, and published The Volunteer, the only campaign paper started for Southern Rights north of Mason and Dixon's line. In connection with ex-Secretary of State, Tucker, MacMakan, and others, he took a leading part in two organizations against Abolitionism and Republicanized Democrasy. He and McMaranhave now become citizens of the South, as there was no longer safety North for men of their views. Mr. Tucker isding part in two organizations against Abolitionism and Republicanized Democrasy. He and McMaranhave now become citizens of the South, as there was no longer safety North for men of their views. Mr. Tucker is about settling in Georgia, Mr. Lawrence in Lonislana, and the other gentlemen in other Southern States; so that New York has not even "the ten men" which Sacred History tell us were necessary to save a "doomed city" in the days when God made fearfully manifest his dealings with mortals.

The Press to be Muzzled. --For daring to oppose the unconstitutional war policy of the Abolition Administration, Mr. Tucker, editor of the St. Louis State Journal, has, the telegraph informs us been arrested by the Abolition agents at St. Louis. For daring to write and print his thoughts, he is deemed guilty of treason and iberty. This act of the Abolition agents of the central power exceeds in atrocity the tyranny of old John Adams under the odious sedition laws of 1800, and Mr. Tucker is the subject of a greater indignity than was Mathew Lyon, of revolutionary memory. The latter was placed in durance under the operation of a tyranical law, which, although passed by Congress, was condemned by the people as soon as their voice could be expressed; Mr. Tucker is the victim of a tyrani's will which seems destined to become, wherever his power is recognized, absolute. In America, as in France, the press to in only reflect the wishes of the Government — the interests of th

Meeting last night. --A large audience assembled at the African Church last night, in consequence of the announcement that an address would be delivered by Hon. Roger A. Pryor. It was, however, stated that Mr. Pryor was detained in Washington. Col. H. C. Cabell was afterwards requested to take the chair, and Dr. Tucker moved the appointment of a committee to wait upon the Hon. James M. Mason, and request him to address the citizens on Thursday night. The motion was carried, and the meeting adjourned. Mr. Pryor is also expected to address the people on Thursday night. Before the organization of the meeting, several impromptu speeches were delivered.

ted persons, putting the deluded ones in the way to political salvation, and turning the others over to the proper authorities, to be dealt with according to the law of the Convention. We have nothing further from Gilmer, where at last accounts civil strife was going on very actively. In Tucker county the disaffected are very bold. We learn that Lt. McChesney, of Rockbridge, with nine mounted men, went from the Laurel Hill camp a few days since, to be present at a Union meeting in Tucker. On his way he was warned to be on his guard, as he would probably fall into an ambuscade in a short distance. He persevered, and had not gone far before he was shot dead by party of Union men secreted on the roadside. One of his men returned to camp wounded, but the other eight had not returned at last dates, and it was feared they had been captured or killed. McChesney was a gallant and brave man. He had been an active skirmisher, and but a few days before had shot one of the volunteer

ar at the Rich Mountain, which placed him in our rear. The General determined to abandon Laurel Hill at once, and we marched about twelve at night. My regiment was assigned to bring up the rear, and with Gen. Garnett and Capt. Shoemaker's battery we remained at the trenches till the balance of the command had gone some distance up the mountain. On getting within a few miles of Beverly, the General was informed that the road had been blockaded, and he then determined to proceed through Tucker and Preston and into Hardy, and having passed the road that led that way, we reversed the order of march, which threw my regiment to the front, which order was preserved during the day, except that Colonel Hansbrough's Battalion passed us to the front. That night we camped on Cheat river, and next morning Col. Hassorough, Col. Jackson, and myself were marched in front of the train. Gen. Garnett, now anticipating an attack from Gen. Hill, (as I understood,) also placed Capt. Shoemaker w
