But what are the causes ot thw solicitude? They are to be found chiefly Ip our selves. It is not that the enemy h« gained (sreat military advanta;ea; these calamities oan J>e re paired. It is not that our soldiers have lost their ancient courage; they are tho same firm and taith- ful warriors who nav« on a hundred battle fields borne the Has of the South in victory and saved the freeiom and indepeudeooe of their country. But, alas! the harmony »nd mutual con fidence that once made us a band of brothers have been riviely a.S3ailed, and the demon of discord setres to have £^11 possession of theniiud* otsome of our public men.

At London they were placed uudcr cuard in the cen- ir*» «>i the cd up ot iho " hird Jventucky infantry coaniianded by Col. Dunlap.' Around the camp, in evary dirtjction for thrws quarters of a mile! ti’nber had been f-.lled. But one open path led from t.ie canip,^^nd that was strongly guarded, with the object, Capt. Hines supposed, of keeping the few r.cnegaie Kentuckians in tho regiment trom running away, aud, at the same time, to pre vent the escape of prisoners In the centre of the camp, in a small bouse, 12 feet by 14, Capt. Hines and fiis two oompanions were coufi.ii*d. Two men were constantly-on guard inside, and iu front of the door, the only way of egress, ten others were posted at night with loaded muskets Having detenuiuod in his own mind te attempt his own escape, Capt.

Tho part of the cargo ititended for the State was purchased in Europe by a special agent ot the State Govern ment.

Our informant states that Caf>t. Maffit, of Burrough’s battalinn, had recently come out from Princefa Anne ftounty and joined Col Gritfiu’s command; and that he is entirely certain, from what ho heard from out iifficjcrs, that seven of ilaffit’s men, taken by the enemy, were hung. This present theatre of guerilla warfare has, at this 'time, a mojit tmportant iaterc.^t for ou*" authorities It is described aa a rich country, ci}uiparing favorably with the Missisvippi bottoms, and one of the roost important sources of meat supplie.9 that is now accessible to our armies. The estimate made tons is, that there are three million pounds of meat in this c junfry, yphioh may he secured by the military cntt^rprise of our authorities. In a late raid of Cul. GniSn’s forces there were captured eighty, or ninety thousand pounds of beef and more than a hundred cattle.

It is 10 be hoped that Gol.'Griffin’s force will be more effectiyeiy organized, and also enlarged for a campaisn^o secure the valunble supplies be tween the Biackwater'and the Roanoke. A por tion of C.ol. Griffin’s force, at present, are North ('arolina State troops, who are very effectively com manded by Col Hinton; but it is desirable, lor several reasons, that the S'^ate organization ehould be put at tho dispoMtiiin of a Conf derate officer There has been some discord, or, at least; a want of CO operation, between the Georgia troops and «he North Carolina authorities. We are informed that recently a petition was made to the Gover nor of North Carolina, for tho exolusioti of th Georgia guerillas fiom the State, signed by »7t5 names; but that a curious circum.stance of the me morial was, th-»t 403 of tho names were tho^e of conscripts.

Skinner, from Bermuda, in attempting to run the blockade at W'ilmington, on the tpi)rniug of the 7th inst.‘, wa» discovered by two of the blockading squadron, who immediately gave chase.. The Dare ran dowa the coast, hotly pursued by the yankees, throwing shells every few minutes, until, on approaching Georgetown, about 2 P M., the blockading steam er ofi" that port threw herself directly in her path, and also comraenced firing Capt. skinner thera- upon turned his vessel’s bow to the shore, and ran her on the beach, about six miles from George town—the passengers, officers and crew escaping lu the boats. Two launches were sent from the yankee steaiyers to take possession of the Dare, but one of t^'em was swamped in the euri, aud three of her crew drowned. The other succijeded in boarding the vessel, and after remaining on ' board for a short time, l;.iDded on the beach, wher# they had been but a few minutes when they had been surrounded by a detachment of our cavalry, and the entire party, consisting'of a lieutenant, a subordinate officcr, aud twenty four seamen, made prisoners.- The three yankee steamers then com menced shelling most furiously, and succ*^eded in setting the Dare on fire, but the tide being out, the Coufederate& boarded her and extinguished the flames. Next morning the baffled pursuers again vented their impotent spite • by throwing shells^ which was continued, without doing any damage, until the evening, when they withdrew, completely bafflijd in tbeir designs, and with the loss of a considerable portion of their crews, and two fine launches, which are in our poi^sessioa. The Dare hud an assorted cargo, which is now being lauded ou the beach, and will be nearly all saved iu good conditioti. The prisoners mentioned above arrived l)y the Northeastern train. They belung to the U. S. steamers 'iontgomory, Aries, and brig Perry. The officers captured are as follows; Geoigo H. Pendleton,' faster U. S. steamer Montgomery; George M Smithy Fnisign; G. M.

Sloody Work in Ten.Ht>ss>'e.—In its news from Longstreet’s command, the Atlanta “(5onfedera- cy” has the followin^: About four or fiyo days ago at-quad of our men, ten or twelve in number, captvired a lot of Yan kee clothing, and were in the act of draping themselves in their capture! property, when they were recaptured by the Yankees, who finding them in Yankee ci*)thiag, contrary to tneir pub lished orders, led them out for the purpose of shooting them. Jtist at this time the 4ch and 7:h Alabama regiments of cavalry arrived upon the spot and charged them but not in time to ave our men, who were shot down in cold blood, the ruthlc'S villains escaping. - A few days afterwards the regiaientj above alluded to caught 15 cr 20 yankees and shot them in retali ation.
