We gather from Virginia papers the following particulars of the occupation of Alexandria by the federal troops: On Friday morning. May 24th, (?ol. Terret re ceived information that the federal troops w*' .Id oecu|»y the city at (5 o’clock, and immedif.te • e- parations were made for the Virginia troop.-s to leave. Ellsworth’s liegiment ot Fire Zouaves came to the whurf and disembaiked in 3 minutes, foriu- ed into coiiijianies and proceeded into the city at double quick time, whooping and shouting in the New York iireuian fashion. Our sentinels and pickets at the Long IJridge fired at the steamers as they pa.ssed, and all the riflenien down the side of the river did the sanic it is not known whether any were killed. 'I he Flying Ariillciy and Cavalry c:ime frotn Washington liy the chain bridge. 'I'hc federal troops hurried to the Depot, but the cars with tlie Virginia troops moved oifjust in time to escape, taking all except a small cavalry company. It ajipears tliat Capt. iJall of the Fairfax Caval ry, told his men tiiat the federal troops would not be there till 8 o’clock, and a portion of them laid down to sleep. The consequence was that forty of them Were taken prisoners. 'i'he capture could have been prevented if Capt. IJall had not proven a traitor. Kegarding the shooting of (.’ol. Ellsworth by the proprietor of the Marshall House, .Mr Jackson, two or three statements are made. One is that Ells worth had taken (htwn the southern flag and was passing through J.iekson’s roo:u with it wound around him. Mr Jackson, who was in bed, de manded the cause ot the intrusion, ami Ellsworth cursed him; whereuj)on Jackson sliot him down with a double-barrel gun. 'I'he Zouaves tlien rushed in and murdered Mr Jackson. .Another account states that Jackson shot Ellsworth down a.s he entered the house. And another account : says that Ellsworth ascended to the roof of the j .^lar^^hall House, and secured the flag. Coming down with the flag, lie met Jackson and remarked “IJere I have got a prize.” Jackson replied “Yes, and here is another prize”—at the same time level- I ling tiis double-barrel shot gun and shooting Ells- I worth dead on the spot. Certain it is, both Jack- and Ellsworth were killed. Mrs Jackson and her sister, it is st.ated, took possession of the flag, drew revolvers and defied the Zouaves, who endeavored to take it from thetn. The ladies tore the flag into .'rhreds, h termined that it should not pass into the hands of Lincoln’s ruffians. The telegraph ofTice was the first place seized by the J/incolnites, but the operator had just time to gather his instruments and run round the corner of the street as the ruffians entered the office from a different direction. The oflice was rendered com pletely useless, as all the instruments were remov ed to Manassas Junction. The wires at the Junc tion were detached so that the enemy at .\lexan- dria cannot hear anything from the interior. 'i he citizens left Alt'xandria as fast as possible. The railroad track in the vicinity of Alexandria was torn up by the Zouaves, and the railroad bridge was burnt by the Virginians. 'The Kichnu)nd Dispatch, speaking of the mur der of Jackscm, .«!ays: ‘‘The noble \’irginia jiatriot who has been but chered by this invading horde, was one of the most exemplary citizens of Al»?xandria. His family and his country have been despoiled of a precious jew el. But his fame will last for generations, and his example will be followed by every man ar.d boy in Virginia and the South who can pull a trigger. Ilencelbrth let us have no more words, no more hopes of puace. We are in war, with depraved, brutal and merciless savages, and our only motto, by day and night should be—‘‘War to the Knife.” A FLAG RAISING AT WASHINGTON. Lincoln exhibits him^f'!/.

" 'I'HK lilOHTS A.ND DcTIES (»F I’AtlTNKItSHtP.'^. —'I'he ('harle.'>fon Courier publishes the following legal opinion, from two distinguished lawyer.^, in volving «|uestions ofco partnershi]> between citi zens of (he Confederate States and citizens of the Cnited States. It will be found of the highest importance to our inerehantile community, and will be read with interest: We have considered the qu. stion projiounded by you as to tiie effect of the existing state of things ujion your co-partner.ship with the house of , New York. You are a citizen of the Con federate States, and they citizens of tin* I’nitcM! States. Our (’ongress at Montgomery has lately passed an act recognizing a state of war as exist ing between the United States and the Confed erate States. A state of war im[>oses restraints and disabili ties aniJ dutie? which are inconsistent witli co-jiart- n»*rship between the citizens of belligerent gov ernments. It interrupts and renders unlawful ail trade and comnierical intercourse between them, and it has accordingly been held tkat such a state works a dissolution of co-j'artner»liip. If, as we understand you to .say, your Xew York jiartners considered it “treason to their (iovernmci.t” that they should manufacture goods according to the , terms of co-|'art nerthif), to be sold and used i.'i this citv, there can be; no better illu.itration (A' your mutual inability, consistent with your public duties, to carry out the object of your co-jiartner- .'•liip, and, therefore, and the law holds after tiie brcakiui; out of war, a commerical co-partnership exifeting between the citizcns of two countries at war is dissolved by the very act of war. '1 his doc trine is well expounded by the court of Errors of New York, in theca.se if CJriswold Wadding- ton. (It) Jones’ lieport. 443.) We are of the opinion that your co-partnership witii the citizens of New York is dissolved by the act of war, and that it is your duty to give notice to that eflect, and to conduct your business here after without the use ol* their names, and for your account and bcneflt. r.\p,^RAl,LKi.Kl) BtU T.vr.lTY.—The Ilichmond En(|uirer states the 'ollowing facts upon reiiable information: ‘•An officer in the A’irginia army; who resigned his commission in the I'nited State.? Army some time since, and who.-e family is still in Washing ton. asked permi.'sion the other day to vi-it that city to attend the burial uf a deceased child. jen- erul Scott pru’.nptly and indiunantly iTfu.sed, de claring that if thonanils of childien were to be buried, no officer of the Virginia Army c-'uM vis it Washington without arre.-il,’’ modate four thou.'and persons, wh.s densely packed, and thousands could not find standinsj room. 'I’hat all might hear the gifted Kentuck ian, it was determined that he should speak from | the .«teps of the Court House, where for nearly] two hours he held the vast crowd enchained by his powerful argument. j ^Ir Breckinridge discu.sscd the issues now be- ' fore the country as a patriot and statesuian. He ! did not seek to inflame the passions of men by [ that wonderf'ul eloquence of which he is the com- ' plete master, but rather appealed to their reason and patriotism by argument. He declared his ]>urpose of following the f'ortunes of his State, which had so often honored him with phices of honor and trust. But above all, he pointed out that Kentucky should be united, whatever }K>si- tion ihe miLrht assume. He showed that if Kentucky remained in the Federal Union, although she might desire to be neutral, that she would liave to furnish millions of dollars per year to aid Lincoln in subjugating the Southern people, to whom we are allied by in terest and blood, (,’ertainly Kentucky has done right in refusing to send .vjldiers in response to Lincoln’s c:ill, and it was now neces.«ary to decide whether she would jviy tribute to sustain Ijincoln in a mad and unholy war. He favored arming the State in all events. He did not believe that a state of armed neutrality cmild long exist. Kentucky was already in a state of rebellion. Gov. Magoffin’s action in re fusing to call out troops was endorsed by the pe«)- iile. nt’.d he believed it was universally apjdauded by Kentuckians 'I’he idea advanced in the late meeting here, that Kentucky was going to fight for neither Lincoln nor tho South, but for the Union, was ridiculous. Our proud old Common wealth must play a manly part, as she has ever done. In his judgmen*’, the whole fifteen slave States ought to unite, and this may save us from the horrors of civil war. But if nothing would re strain Mr Lincoln from his reckless jiurpose, he had no fear of the result, 'riiirteen million.s of people could not be subjug.ited. They might be exterminated—but coiujuered, never, never. He beirged that all jiarty differences and rancor be forgotten in tlie midst of the?e distraetioii.s. Maledictions had been poured upon his devot ed head, and unjustly, but he had no further re membrance of them. Our safety and security re quired one setitiment, one action—lot (here be no division in our councils. He thought Kentucky ought to call a Conven tion before the 4th of .july, at which time Mr l..incoln would convene his (’ongre.^s, and that her people may determine her future action. He de plored civil strife, but it w’as necessary that we should be prepared for any emergency, and there fore the .^tate ought to be armed. Intestine war was fearful, hut war does exist, and we had to look the dangers bravely in the face. If we had to fiirht, we wouM fight for liberty and honor M r Breckinrige was frequently interrupted wiih rounds of applause, and his speech created a deci ded sensation.—Louisville Courier. ALL HAIL TO THE OLD NORTH STATE We have no words to exjire.ss our admiration of the action of North Carolina. She is one of those common sense States, which, like common sense imlividuals, never say nor do foolish tliingh, which art. always listened to with respect, and followed with confidence. 1‘rob.ibly, in all America, there was no stronger Union State than North ('arolina, in days gone by. Jn all the North, at this mo ment, there is not a State whose Union principles we have as much faith in as those once held by North (’arolina, an«l this because the North is for Union on account of what it makes by it, whilst North Carolina, like Virginia and other Southern States, were Union from genuine loyalty and patriotism, in opposition to their pecuniary inter ests. Three months ago, North Carolina agreed to accept the Crittenden proposition as a basis of settlement, and at the same time declared tliat she would view any attempt to coerce a Southern State as a declaration of war. 'I’rue to her word, when IJncoln’s proclamation came out, North (’ar olina declared for separation, and promptly re assembled her JiCgislature, which called a (^jn- vention without delay. On Monday, the L3th, the members of that Convention ’vere elected : on .Monday, the 2(>th, only one week afterwards, the (Convention met and immediately ratified the pre vious action of the people atid the JiCgislature. by passing the Ordinance of Secession by a unani- ui front of the (ieneral Post OlSce Department. The ceremony was one of the most meagre -nfi'airs that I ever witnessed ; true, there was any amount of shouting and yah-yahing, but it wa.s very evi dent that the great concourse could not boUeve the broad a.ssertions of the several speakers, when they declared there could not bo a separation of the gloriou.s United States. A platform was erected over the front door, on a level with the second story; a pole was erected on the top (front) of the buihllng, the halyards were rove, falling to the platform. At noon the i’resident and several members of his (’abinet took their places on tho stand. Tfie band performed several national airs, (lon. Skinner then, iti a speech, inaudible to every person on the street, made known the object of the meeting, and concluded by reijuesting tho President to hoist the new flag to its destined position. The act was porformed quite creditably. When it was first hoisted, it hung very sluggi.shly against the staff, but in a few moments a breeze sprung up, when it displayed its full proportiona. Shout after shout and cheer after cheer went up, but not witli a universal good will. Mr Lincoln then came forward and delivered a short speech, which wouhl be considered a mas terly effort on the pr.rt of a youth of ten years. He said, “ a few weeks ago he thought the Stars and Stripes hung laiilch/; true, this flag, when it was first hauled up just now, hung tdnkly, but the glorious breeze of Heaven had Ci U.sed it to float proudly forth, and it would continue thus to float over a happy and united pc*op!e.” .Mr Blair was thcfi called for He c:nne forward and made some very amusing remarks. He told the crowd that his country /'the South) was true to the Union; that if the people of the South would only speak their sentiments, the same devo tion and loyalty now exhibiti'd before him would be manifested for that glorious old banner now waving over u.^. Secretary Seward was then called for, and in re sponse, male a few remarks. He acknowledged the courage and resolution of the Southern people; “ there are two things they cannot do, one is to destroy Hail Columbia, and the other is to destroy the Star Spangled Ihinner. Human nature re- iuire“ them, and what human nature requires (}od ■Vhiiighty decices.” He denied the possibility of destroying the Union; “ it cannot be allowed; in a very short time the old state of things will bo revived, ani this glorious country continue to the latent period of recorded time, acknowledging one ( rod, one (Constitution, one Star Spangled Banner.” Secretary Smith, in response to the loud calls of the crowd, came forward and followed in the same strain, keeping entirely out of sight the causes of the troubles, only sounding the [)raises of the Stars and Stripes. It was very evident the crowd wearied of the ‘7/r/.s7t” 'They anticipated a more extensive display. 'The whole thing did not last over thirty or forty minutes. In a few days, if there is not more serious work, another “ farce” will be gotten up to divert thu minds of the people from the gross ini(iuity of the contemplated contest. Ft'trx to the oflTicers and flag-raising to the rabble, will become stale and nauseous. 'I’here has been several serious accidents among the troops in conseijuence of their i_-norance of the use of fire-arms. i)iscase and d aih are also bu.'jy with the raw m.iterial procured for them by the fratricidal policy of thi.s Federal Adriiinistration, and fearful indeed will be the responsibility—u doubly fearful atonement, for all the blood that will be shed in this unholy crusade against the rights and liberties of a tree and unoffending people. TLLF.fiirnfATE VmoiMANs.—The Northern {taper.s exult greatly over the supposed Union senti ment in Virginia, and talk bravely about Kending down an army into our State, to give the Unionists a chance to maintain them.‘ielves. That there are a few Yankee .settlers in Virginia, who have no love for the Old Commonwealth, and who came into it to gain profit and wealth by speculating upon the ea.sy good nature of our people, we do not doubt. In some of the border counties of the Northwest, (here is a mfingrel herd of I^ennsylva- nians and Ohioan.s, who have h ft their own State.^ to get a living in Virginia. Those men are not of us, nor with us. 'i’hey are of that loose band of notnadic adventurers who roam the earth in quest i4 prey. They will .soon be »qiif-lchi'd out by the true stoek of (Jld Y^irginians—the descendant ot* Andrew Lewi.-i and his comrades of llevolutionarj memory, 'i'he impudence of tliese illegitimate \'irginians of foreign birth will speedily be re vote. As the jicoplr had gi\en the ratifica- ; their attenti(jn turned to other cliniatCH tion in advance, the Old North State is formally I out before Virginia; and what is more, has full possession of every Federal fort within her limits.

No Qr.\i{TKn to bk (JrvK.\ to thk IIerkls.— 'Fhe Buffalo Express, a prominent journal of tho Fillmore school thus closes a lung and bloody arti- (Jnly fine point of resemblance is left between the ] cle upon the policy of the Lincoln Administra- droain of ‘-(Md lUip” and the f-plendid energy with which our determined neighbor is marching to the onset. It is said that when Old Rip came down from the Catskill mountain, after a twenty year's nap, he found the painting of (ieorge the '1 bird, which used to swing over the tavern door, ronioved, and the form of the •'rent (.’hampion of American Independence su>>stifuted in its stead.

'fhe Richmond Enquirer refers to the well known historical fact that King George’s Gov ernor of North (,'arolira, upon the eve of the rev olution of '76, wrote home to the mother country that North (,’arolina was the most trrmbl^^omft of all the American (,-olonies.
