in the rear of the town, on. hearing the firing ran
out to ascertain the cause, when he was shot down
and killed. This fet threw the Rifles into tem
porary confusion, the first Lieut, being absent. In
the meantime, the Cavalry again charged through
the town yelling and firing. . Ex-Gov. Suiith, who
was temporarily here, hastened over to the cantp
of the Rifles, and rallying them, was proceeding
to meet the enemy,-when Col. Yuell appeared and
took command. The Cavalry came dashing thro'
the town for the third time, - when a well directed
volley emptied a number of saddles and caused the
hireling soldiers to beat a hasty retreat. Our men
closed upon them as speedily as possible, and be-
sides killing five and canturins six or ei'ht fine
horses, took eight or ten prisoners; A friend who
heard the firing and saw the retreat of the cavalry,
says there was not less than 15 or25 horses scamp

the skirmish which took place, our only loss
was that of (.'apt. Marr, and he was no doubt killed
by an accidental "shot; another of our men was

THE FIGHT AT ACUIA CREEK.
Fredericksburg, Va.June 1:
1 have just returned from our batteries at Ac
(juia Creek, where I witnessed the fights oi yester
day and to-day, between four or five U. S. steamers
and our batteries at the Creek. "
On Thursday evening four steamers, one of them
the Anacosta, were seen lying 'off Maryland Poiut,
and our brave boys anticipating a .brush, prepared
at once to give them a warm reception.
Ou Friday morning about 10 o'clock, the Ana
costa and three other steamers were seen to get
utidei way, and approaching within 2J miles of the
battery, opened fire on it. Our boys promptly re
sponded, and the fire was continued for an hour
and a half between the battery and steamers, when
Walker's Flying Artillery, supported by a company
from Richmond, came up from Marlboro Point and
opened on the steamers, the firing continuing for
au hour and a half. During the engagement sev
eral men were seen to fall on the steamers, and it
is generally believed that at least one of the ves
sels was badly injured, as all, of . them withdrew
iroui tne ugnt about 4 o cloefc. Uuring tue en
gagement a shot from a rifle piece of one of .. the
steamers passed over our battery about 20J yards
overhead, and fell two miles in the rear. rihe men
in the battery sustained nd injury, the only dam
age done being the tearing to pieces of -the -officers',
quarters by a thell from the enemy's gun.-v
To-day the Anacosta and five other vessels came
in sight, three of "which opened on our batteries.
Th&fight was continued for six hours, , the vessels
firing ib'J shot at us without doing the slightest
injury, notwithstanding the shell, fell as thick as
hail around our battery, and one of them exploded
in our midst. Our battery fired 100 shots, many
of which took effect on the vessels, carrying away
the flag of the Anacosta" and the mast of--ohe of
the other vessels. Tiie last shot fired was-from,
one of Walker's rifle pieces, which struck the
steamer just above the water line, inniK-diarcly af
ter which the fleet got under way and moved off
probably to repair damages.
None of our men were killed during the two
days' fighting only one was slightly wounded,
not enough to keep him from duty.
Luring the fight our men weie as cool as ice
bergs, every one exhibiting a. bravery and deter
mination that would have done credit to. veteran
soldiers. Currcsjtondcttce of I'ich. Liyatch.
An Unexpkctki) Mi:ktjno. A singular, yet
affecting incident occurred at the Kichujond depot
on Friday last. Several companies from Georgia,
which came in from the South, had just reached
the depot, ready to embark lor Richmond, when
one of the privates in the " Macon Guards,"' look
ing among the passengers in the long omnibus,
which was bound South from Richmond, dis
covered and recogiiizcd'a 'sister, whom he had not
seen for six years. Of course lie was overjoyed, as
was the lady at such au unexpected and fortunate
meeting... He immediately obtained a short leave
of abscucc, and accompanied his sister, to the
Southern depot, where he learned that the had
been neatly three weeks getting this far fruru NeW
York, being compelled to remain one week in
Wa.-hingtou" before she was allowed to proceed ;
that her husband, whom she had married - in
Georgia, a few years ago, h.d persisted in voluu-1
teering to tight against her native oouth, her.rela-r
c
i tives and fiieuds, and had joined the iamoiu t tli
i Kegiiocnt, agaiustail her entreaties and protetta-
tions; that all his friends had acted in the same
1 n.atmer, and that she could do nothing else, after
j witnessing their departure fjr Southern .. syil, -perhaps
to murder those uearect and dearest
j to her, but Jeave forever the.coiumunity who.se
I pats ions were so iutlanied, and joiff once more
; those whom she knew would be her .protectors,
i Luring her stay in Washington, almost in the very
presence-of F.er husband, she positively jefused to
see him or Lave anything to do with hiia. - v
ArraDzements were made here for her: iiumc-
! diate and safe passage huuie, where, in ail proba-
bility, she will remain till her life '& end. , The
f scene between this noble woman and. her brave

THE FOSITICIir OF "ENGLAND. ;
The B facie Republicans are getting very uneasy
about the position of England towards, the, South-
era Gpnfederaey. Tliy .have the impudence to
1 threaten that por trith vengeance for favoring
The "southern rebellion," If is not hi

L ,Qf tbe,Tact. that , lhase' who threaten , her were

The New York Trmcs, a black repnbltcan organ,
speaking of thc position1 '6f linlandjays: . . ' '
., .fit is evident from the conduct of . the English
.ministry, and the tone of a portion of the English
press, that there is so active sympathy felt in that
quarter for the movements of the southern traitors.
rlierc. can be no doubt that the English Govern
ment is disposed In every way to lend them aid
and comfort, and we 6hall soon have evidence af
forded us .that they are ready, to extend to them
material support. . The movements of 31 r. Russell,
the correspondent of the London TirucSj are rery
suspicious. Let him beware. . We have now in ad
dition, too, the facts of the insolent conduct of the
English Consuls at Norfolk aud Havana,: and the
refusal of the steamer Persia to bring arms and
munitions of war .purchased in England by the
agents of our , government. In the face of all
these and other startling omens,., it behooves our
government to be more firm and vigilant, for here
is the most, subtle and powerful enemy we have to
contend with. The forts in all our harbors should
I be at once, properly armed and garrisoned, the pos
session or, those m the. hands otthe rebels is now
the more imperative, and the occupation 'of every
southern seaport is indispensable for the prevention
of that export of cotton which the Lritis-h, under
some pretext or other, will insist on maintaining.
The object of England is to destroy the power and
prestige of this government." -
The Times ' goes on in this strain, and talks
about punishing England, &c."fcc. In regard to
retaking the Forts, why don't the Times make its
friends commence the work at once why don't
they retake Fort Sumter? Some people think old
Abe has about as much as he can do to hold the
Forts he now has.- ; -

:.r. - MOB LAW. ,i . , . '
The usual quiet of bur ; townr- much to the rev
gretof all good, law-abiding citizen, was disturbed,
yesterday by the predominance of a mob, which,
regardless of counsel, judgo-aml jury, violently
entered tho jail,' breaking looks and doors as they
proeeeded and forcibly took but - a "ngro-whom
they executed. -L, t''it J, -
. The negro, Oscar Ford, was the same- that wm
trifd here at the-pring term of the superior court
last year, and convicted of an attempt ioornrhit a
.rape on.tha person of Mrs Bryaat- of "Concord.
His counsel, however,- procured 'for hiynjaneir
trial, which came' off at the. present term of-the""
superior courts -He was acquitted, though entirely
unexpected and against the general feeling, of
the community as to his guilt. As soon a (Tie
decision of the jury was made' known, "a crowd
began to assemble' at the court-hon.ef ar'ined with
clubs and pistols, which gave evidence of their
determination to carry into execution previous
threats. The greater nuniboV of which, we are
informed, had come from the towns of Concord
and Charlotte and the county of Iredclly for the
.purpose of mobbing the negro in "case 'he was
acquitted. No resistance was shown-thorn-until
they became too formidable to be controlled by the
town authorities. .After they had' increased to
about fifty or sixty in number, they proceeded as
above stated, took the negro to the outskirts Ot
town, hanged him up, fired several shots into his
body and left him dead. ' . ' - . ; 7 -: ' "
. Without reflection urfrn the intelligent'jury.or
the able counsel for the defence, having heard the
principal testimony in both trials, we have no hesi
tancy in expressing our belief that the regrowas
guilty and justly merited the punishnlent he re
ceived for so high a crime, even though it was
administered at the hands of ft mob. 'Yet, in
-God's name,- for the sake of. society, religion and
social order, fur the sake of humanity; civilization
and domestic peace, deliver us from the predomi
nance of mob law. . There is nothing to be con
ceived that would so soon plunge us into a state of
the most woeful anarchy and utter insecurity, or
prove, a greater curse to our every interest, than
the toleration of such a thing. It would be a stain
aud stigma upon the fair name of our-country
inimical as well as destructive of the tnipcrRbund
ant liberty we so much love and enjoy; and all
good and true citizens, upon due reflection, Can
not fail to agree with us and see its evil tniport.
Overthrow our legal authorities, which ore. amply
sufficient for the. protection of all, then bur shield
is gone, our freedom hi a farce, and we are but one
step from barbarism. If such a thing is tolerated
no man's life is safe; but any of us is liable; at any
time, to be compelled to succumb to mob violence,
led ou by the worst passions of men. -
