' - Un- : expectedly a company - of - regular' cavalry, wed ! armed and mounted, and headed by "'a traitor, dafdniii tirrough thei-principal streets; yelling like madmen and tiring their pistols right and left as they passed along. - Capt. .Marr, of theWarrenton Rifle's, whose company was stationed in ameadow 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 ering over the fields without their riders. -In 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 slightly wounded. - ' - . . 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 I brother, was painfully affecting. And surely. the ? treatment she received at the hands of her husband his. desertion of her to subiuga.e and enslave, if i rosiblo her verv pare uts. brythers. 4eiterg tend 1 fiieuds, not to say her whole coubUf, were saffi- v ,. . . ... u t . - r. i: p n i.: cieiiL to. arouse urn icciiup mwi. uuu.j j.They parted here, but whether, the brother and the ) Ijuj,,, ever meet U LOU the fi eld .fi battle, anj " -ith what jeult, zejnaui to beu,- J ' t i tJ.ui a 7.i jr( fs. t . THE FIGHT AT -FAIRFAX. THE FOSITICIir OF "ENGLAND. ; The B facie Republicans are getting very uneasy about the position of England towards, the, South- era Gpnfederaey.

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.- ; - While Lincoln's soldiers arc committing outrages on the women and children of Virginia, such vile papers as the New York Times, Herald and Tri bune are urging -the plundering of the whole southern country. The day of reckoning is near it hand. ' Jr UNIFORM OF THE CONFEDERATE - ARMY. The following is the dress prescribed by the War Department for the army of the Confederate States.

How Old Abe spends the Sabbath. The Washington correspondent of the Niw York Daily News, says : "On Sunday, President Lincoln, accompanied by. Thui low Weed, Seward aud Captain Dahlgren, went on board the steamer Baltimore for a pleasure trip down by Alexandria. "Green Seal" was plentiful, and the august party were unconsciona ble merry ! and perchance, after " The life-blood, warm nnd wet, lias dimmed the glistening bayonet," they-will enjoy their Green Seal and delicious viands with a.greater relish than erer before.

' 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. - t ; . . - - . ,-.; . .
