Given at our Court, at the White Lodge, Richmond Park, this 13th day of May, 1861. ' . ; ! .. IMPORTAN'P DEBATE IN THE ENGLISH ; HOUSE Of LORDS ON THE QUEEN'S proclamJation. i In the House of Lords, on the 16th of May, he Earl of Ellenborough said: I did wish to give public notice of my intention to put a ques tion to the Lord President with respect to the in- terpretation to!be put on some expressions in her MsiestV's- Proclamation, relative to the conduct: -ufiber ;Majesty's subjects in respect to the war in' America. As: this House did not sit yesterday, . hdwever, I had not the opportunity of doing so ; but I hope the noble Erl will be prepared at once to give the explanations I desire. It seems to rue io be a matter of esfenti.il importance that ;a proclamation instructing- her Majesty's subjects; jas:to toe condqet they should pursue in that un happy war, should be clear of all doubt, and to! the last degree intelligible to every individual I that a man should not be obliged to go his lawyer for an opinion as tothemeaningoftheexpressiorcj sused; and, further, that if he should go to h jjUWyer. there should be no difficulty in as-! iSigning to thejwords tbeir true interpretation. 1 iThe instructions to her Majesty's subjests relate .first, to the law of "England, and then to the law ofj nations. As to the law of England, it is clear 'enough ; there is no doubt at all with respect to the duty imposed on her Majesty's subjects. But as toHhe law of nations, as might naturally1 be i expected, there is a great degree of doubt. Her Majesty's subjects are warned "not to break any blockade lawfully and actually established ; by either of the belligerent powers." Now, tbe first t question I wish to put to the neble Earl is in what sense we are to understand those expressions. r We are at present under an obligation to adhere . to the declaration on tbe subject of maritime law; i'agreed to by her Majesty's Plenipotentiaries and f; those of other Powers at Paris. That declara- tion bears directly on the subject of blockades in these words : "Blockades, in order to be binding. ;-. must b effective that is to say, maintained by a , : force sufficient really to prevent access to the coast ; of theeneniy." " i ' Now, if these words are to be uaderstood in I their strictly literal signification, to establish a , lawful blockade would be almost physically im ; y possible. They must receive certai n qualifications i, and explanations. I say impossible, because there i4s hardly in the whole, universe any locality in -which ships can remain safely with the power of absolutely preventing access to an enemy's aast. Blockades are carried on by ships at sea. They must be carried on by ships at sea, and under !' sail, because bo frhips can carry a sufficiency of coal to enable them to act constantly under r steam ; no doubt it would be a great facility if .ripey couia always act under steam ; that would go far to enable them to make the blockade ef fectual, But I recollect having heard that dur- ii ing tae Dlocn;aae3 ot Toulon tbe ships employed , in that service were driven to the Mediterranean aridthe coast of Africa. Such things will occur ,j. again, and, according to the strict meaning, a ' Moqkade might have ceased , to be valid because jj ii ceased to be really -maintained to prevent access H t the enemy's coast. But I apprehend the words I rpust be understood with necessary qualifications, f arising from the circumstances of wind and eatherj wMcu command all such oi orations, and . that the realj meaning is to prevent access by es UbUshinsr, siich a case of danger to those who at- ji tempt to violate the blockade as to induce them to desist from attempting to do so. But if that be the; meaning of her Maieatv'a jj- ministers, I 'confess I think it very much to be I regretted that, instead of adopting totally new i': words, as they have done in this proclamation, ! : they did not warn her Majesty's subjects against breaking, or endeavoring to break, a blockade lawfully established and effectively maintained. J wish, then, first to know from the noble Earl n jj what sense we are to understand the words used j: ih this proclamation. Do they intend to convey j: the exact meaning, with the qualifications I have tnenuoned, of the declaration made by the Pow er? ilf they do not, what further meaning do tey contain T Do they go below or beyond the ords of that declaration ? And why should pot the particular words there used -be adopted on ibis-occasion? I confess I very much regret to iee so much vagneness in tbe expression used as o "contraband, of war." The proclamation 4peaks of 'arms, military stores or materials, or any article lor articles considered and deemed to pa contraband of war, according to the law or modern usage of .nations." .How are plain men to find oat what articles have of late been consid ered contraband of war bv the .usa?e of nation ? t Courts or Admiralty jurisdiction, not only in I his ceuntrvi but in others: and it ia hiirhlv nrn. I' bablfl that thev will be found conflicting with one i fnother, I wish, therefore, to know what are the ;' turtner articles not mentioned to which it is inten ded that the nroclam&tion ihmild iinnlv. .nA i which her Majesty's subjects are cautioned not to parry anon toe sea. The law with respect to con - Itraband of war is in a state of constant change. : aast change year after year, accordingas the it manner of conducting war is changed.' When I 1 Jcoked into this matter six years ago I recollect to iusva iouna a me law dooks ot Dest autnonty vnai au tnese cnanges were controlled Dy one pre vailing principle, viz : that that is contraband; of war which, in the possession of an enemy,! would enable him better to narrv an war. v Thl in a jdear, reasonable and intelligible principle, and I ' i tTA.n Mn.nt. i. iL.. 1 . 3 - f ! it. - 3. t j uiiKu regret bunk, insteaa ot. ueiog wie worua which I find in this proclamation, her; Majesty's ministers aid not co back to a Drincirie which all ' can understand, and which is not affected b v , changes in the mode of carrying on war. . Hear, hearl " j ! J i Earl Granville. The questions put bir the ijo j ble Erl are certainly Very important. I feel; it ill fcomewnt difficalt matter topeaENjpon qups h VOB interoaAional law ; bu, at thesaetime, i I H is y duty to give the noble Earl tilOn Infer 1 I mn Ifcaniand if I should happen to make a xaI. l1 gr,tfal to lMrn Lords on uhet sid to eorredt it, in order that to misappre nension may go abroad on a subject of so much importance. fWith respect to, the first, question. What meaning ig to be altauhod to the. words "a blockade lawfully mid actually osUblished?" 1 apprehend that, allhoHtjlJ the agreement of Paris is likely to form m epoch in the;history of inter naLionaUaw and -although itwas concurred in '.iyMM-rMMfcntPC JBrope and by several Amer ican States', 'jrirt.'; it does not' in itself constitute a change in international law, excepting as regards those Powers which signified their acceptance of it. I believe, further, even with respect to those coun tries, which entered into that agreement with us, that what took place at Paris made no change as far as blockades, lawfully and actually established, afe concerned. That question of in ternational law remains exactly the same as before, with this difference only, that mere paper block ades will noiln future be recognized. ' Before a blockade ean be said to ba lawfully and actually established, ii jqust be announced in proper form and manner, and the Stato declaring it must have on the spot such a force as, I do not ea v to make it impossible, but at any rate to make it very difficult for vessels to obtain egress or ingress. The second question which tbe noble Earl has put to me is still more difficult to answer in a clear and satisfactory manner; but 1 can sav. at all events, that the Government have followed the course usual on. such occasions. To a certain extent, the noble Karl answered his own question, for he stated that what is con traband of war- must vary from time to time, according to the character of the war which Is carried on. 'there are certain articles which are clearly contraband of war; but'there are certa in other articles, the character of which can be .de termined only by the circumstances of the case; as, for. instance, the ports for which they are destined, and various other incidents which can be properly judged of only in a Prize Court. The decisions of such Court, unless there has been a flagrant violation of international law, all those who have recognized the rights of the belligerents must accept, j I think, therefore, that her Majes ty's Government, in adhering strictly to prece dent in this matter, took the only course which it was possible for them to pursue. The Earl of Derby. The answer of tbe noble Earl is, for the most part, entirely satisfactory. I do not teel disposed to complain that the terms of tbe proclamation are vague and uncertain. It is impossible to introduce into a proclamation of this description such a definition of the charae'er of a blockade, or of contraband of war, as would satisfy the conditions which seemed to bo laid down by thenoble Erl who first addressed the House. Nor do I complain of the proclamation on the aground that the warning it gives goes beyond the necessities of the case. ' I refer to the warning which is given to British subjects against t iking part in privateering expeditions. Thy proclamation! wisely nd properly informs the subjects of he'r Majesty that if they should engage in privateeriti; expeditions they would have no right, whatever might be the result, to claim the protection of this country against any penal con sequences to which they might render themselves liable. ; I do not complain of that quite the contrary; but there are two points upon which it is abso lutely necessary that her Majesty's Government should lose no time in coming to a thorough un derstanding with the Government of the United States. The first is with regard to the question of blockade. ,: It has been etated that theNorthern States have intimated their intention of blockading the wboleof the Southern ports. Now,, we know perfectly well that it is no.t in the power of the Northern States, if their navy were three times as as powerful as ineffectually to blockade all these ports. There is no doubt they might effecUallv blockade this or that , or the other ports, and that would be a blockade wh?ch we should be bound to recognize; but I do think slavery important that her Majeatys Government should not commit themselves to the doctrine that the United States are to lay down the principleof a universal block ade; that that universal blockade would be recog nized by her Majesty's Government, and that all j her Majesty's subjects who might choose to dis regard it would be likble to penal consequences. Hear, hear; I apprehend.that to make them so liable the block ade must be' one the validity of which has been re cognized by their Government. It is important, therefore, that he Majesty's Government should come to clear a understanding with tbe Government of the United States that a mere paper blockade, or a blockade extending over a space to which it is physici-lly impossible that an effectual blockade can be applied, will not be recognized as valid by ' this country. Hear, hear. The ether point is one of, perhaps, still greater importance. A noble and learned Lord was understood to say a few clays ago thjit by the law of nations privateering was piracy, and that, consequently, the Northern States would be perfectly justified in carrying out their threatfto treat all privateering as piracy, and visiting it with capital puni hnient.' I ap prehend tht if there is one thing clearer than another, it s that by the law of nations priva teering is not piracy that no enactment on the part of any bne nation can make that piracy as regards the subjects of another country which is not piracy by the law of nation?, or by the law of that country. f The Northern State, therefore, mu3t not be allowed to entertain the opinion although it may be right that we should warn British subjects that if they should engage in privateering ex peditions they will not be entitled to claim the pro'ection of their Government that thev are at liberty so to strain the law as to convert pri vateering into piracy and visit it with death. The punishment, under such circumstances, of persons entitled to her Majesty's protection, would not be viewed with indifference, but would re ceive the most serious consideration by this coun- . Y . r T la . I . iry. j.t is rignt, on inepne nana, ID at tne people of this country should be warned of the peril of of engaging in privateering undertakings; hut it is essentially necessary, on the other, that the in ortnern states Bbould not be induced to . rely upon our forbearance with regard to a violation of the law Of nations by visitineorivateerine with a penalty wjiich is not attached to it by that law. Lnear.j j It is said is that the Northern .States treat the Southern Confederation, not as having the rights of belligerent, but as rebels, whose acts will be visited witujall the penalties of high treason, in cluding capital punishment. But that is not a doctrine we admit, because we have declared that the Southern States are entitled to the rights ot belligerents- The Northern States, on tbe onehand, cannot be entitled to olaim the rights of bellige rents lor tnemselvea, and. en tbe other, to treat the Southern States, not as belligerents, but as rebels. These are the two points upon which it is most desirable that a clear understanding should be come to between her Majesty's ministers and the Government of the United States first, that we cannot recognize any except a really effective blockade, such as the United States may . be able to enforce ; secondly, that we cannot recognize the doctrine tnttl byiany proclamation or any - enact ment the Northern States have power as against the Southern Confederation to treat privateering as piracy, andlto visit it with death. Lord Brougham heart. y wished that all priva teering were piracy by the law of nations, but un- nappuy, it was now xlis opinion- on this point had been misunderstood. What he said was that privateering undertaken by the subjects of one country against the trade of another country, with which their- own was at peace, amounted to piracy. Privateering, however much it might be repre hended, was undoubtedly, in the case of recog nized belligerents, not piracy according to the'law of nations, as that law was at present undrstWl and administered; but, if any persons, subjects of this country, fitted out a vessel against another liuuuuY wiwi wuu.ii wo were at peace, mat, in it self, constituted a piratical act, and he was clearly of opinion that the persons so acting would have only themselves to blame, if after Ml warning they entered upon that course. Taking Into account the great changes and im provementetin all the appliances of warfare which t "tear"uken place,hesbould hold that coal might oe i looked upon as amounting tooontraband of war, if furnished to one of the belligerents to be used in Warfare against theother. Hemightadd that he entirely oencijrred in the opinion that it was not necessary that a blockade, in order to be looked apoa as effective, should be of such a ma ture as to render access to anv nart f th. impossible, but that it would be sufficient to oon. stitute it a real blockade, that it precluded the ex tstence of any reasonable nhanoA nrntranM Lord Chelmsford said he wished to bring the opinion to which his noble and learned friend had given expression to a -tastA -The Confederated States of America were admitted by her Majesty's Government to be entitled to: exercise the rights of a belligerent power . That being so, he ahould wish o know from, his noble and learned friend whether he meant to contend that if an English ship wre commissioned by thes States and jtftted out as a privateer against the Federal Government, her crew would,. .-under such circumstances, he guilty; of piracy?; ..British-. subjects soengaged would, 'no doubt, "be answerable to the laws of their own country but it was perfectly clear that jn accordance with the principles of international law, they would not be liable to be treated as pi ratoi. ' That warning should be given to English1 sea men by means of the proclamation was, of course, a most Useful and necessary step, and if after that warning, they would engage in such expeditions as those to which he was referring they must of course, take the consequences of their conduct. - , . The Lord Chancellor said his nobl friend, the President of the Council, had laid down the law on the point at is-ue with perfect correctness. If, after tbe publis&ing of the present proclamation, any Englisb.subject were to enter into the service of either of the belligerents on the other side of the Atlantic, there could be no doubt that lhe person so acting would be liable to be punished for a violation of the laws of his own country, and would have no right to claim her protection to sljield him from any consequences which might arise.' . There could, however, at the same time, be no doubt that he ought not to be regarded as a pirate for acting under a commission from a State admitted to be entitled to the exercise ot bellig erent rights, and carrying on wha. might be cal led a -juntum bellum. Anybody dealing with a man under those circumstances as a pirate, and putting him to death, would, he contended, be guilty of murder. Hear, hear. Lord Kingsdown said- he supposed the Federal Government deemed itself j ustified in publishing tbe extravagant order in referenci to privateering, which it had issue!, inasmuch as America had insisted upon maintaining the right of resort ing to that mode of warfare, when it had been abondoned by the great Powers of Europe. In the present case, the issue of the order was, no doubt, based on the ground that the Federal Govern ment was dealing with rebels, who might be hung as persons guilty of treason to the State of which they were subjects. That was a matter for their own consideration, but he could not help thinking that to act upon such a view would be to have recourse to a piece of barbarity which wou'd raise an outcry throughout the whole civilized world. Hear. .. " He trusted, therefore, the order in question was a mere bruium fulmen, upon which it was not in tended to act. Be that, however, as it might, the case assumed a diffVnt aspect when looked on with reference to the position of English subjects. This country has recognized, not as an indepen dent Power, but as a body pressing the rights of a belligerent; the Confederation of the Southern State. Therefore, they were treated as having power to issae a regular authority for privateering; but the principle as against British subjects es tablished by the proclamation, was that if they choose to engage in privateering, and so act in vio lation of the orders of their own Government, they should hot have the right to call upon the Government to interfere for their protection. Lord Brougham trusted that alt persons would take notice of the warning given in the procla mation, that in the event of interfering in the dif fernees prevailing in America, they must run the risk of whatever measures might be adopted by tbe Americana on one side or the other, hear, hear,! j'ist as in the case which occurred thirty years ago, two English subjects were tried and hanged for piratical interference on the land, and not on the sea, and not one step was taken to protect or avenge tnem. The Earl of Ellenborough feared very much that a good deal of what' had passed that night would lend to diminish the apprehension of those disposed to engage in the privateering which had -been alluded to. He hoped it would not have Jhat effect, because he was sure that long before the diplomatists could terminate their correspon dence the men so interfering and captured would De nanged. i From the Atlanta (GaM) Southern Confederacy.

These bonds bear interest at 8 per cent, which is payable semi annally. inig arrangement will be a great convenience to farmers in the sale of their produce. They will not have to cro into the market to be chaffer ed with and cheated by sharpers. Every pound of cotton or tobacco, or bushel of rairn. whfwt or rice, which a farmer will have to spare, he can at once engage to tne uovernment, and then be at no further trouble about finding sale for it.

The " old wreck" has been borrowing largely for years ; and every time a cali has been made, its agents have gone " shinning round" in Woii Street, making terms with those whose aim has always been; to clutch eveiything possible by all sorts of foul combinationa and unpatriotic conduct. If our Government had attempted to get money abroad, it would have obtained it readily for its loans were solicited by European capitalists- but it would have had to endure the same flaying and gouging operation, to a greater or less extent, that all others do who go to such sources for means of support. All this is wisely and most happily avoided, by our Government taking from our people that which they have to spare, and which will answer their purpose exactly the same as so .much gold; and then giving in return for it that which exactly suits the people. From addresses which have been issued to the planters of Georgia, by Messrs. Howell and T. R R. Cobb, and E. A. Nesbit, we see that every member of Congress has been constituted an agent of the Government, to bring this subject before the people of the Confederacy, and take their sub scriptions. The plan was set forth in ' the late speech of ex-Goy. Cobb at this place, which we published. With the remarks we now make, and from that speech, all our readers will under stand this matter hence, we do not publish either of the addresses, on account of the great pressure of news, &c., on our columns.

THE CHARUE OF MURAT AT EYLAU. It is at Eylauthat Murat always appears in his most terrible aspect. This battle, fought in mid winter, in 1807, was the mast important and bloody one that had then occurred. France and Russia had never before opposed such strength to each other, and a complete victory on either side would have settled the fate of Europe ; Bonaparte remained in possession of the field, and that was all ; no victory was ever so like a defeat. The field of Eylau was covered with snow, and the little ponds that lay scattered over it were frozen sufficiently hard to bear the artillery. Seventy -one thousand men on one side, and eighty- five thousand on tbe other, arose from the frozen field on which they had slept the night of Februa ry, without tent or covering, to battle for a con tinent. Augurea, on the left, was utterly routed in the morning. Advancing through a snow storm so thick he could not - see the enemyV the Kussian cannon mowed down ins ranks with their -destructive fire, while the Cossack cavalry, which were ordered to charge, came thundering on, al most hitting the Fiench infantry with their long lances before! they were visible through the storm. Hemmed in and' overthrown, the whole division, composed of 16,000 men, with theexcepof 1,-500, were captured or slain, .lust then the snowstorm e'earing up revealed to Napoleon the peril to which he wa3 brought, and he immediately or dered a grand charge by the Imperial Guard and the whole cavalry. Nothing was further from Bonaparte's wishes or expectation, than the bring ing of his reserve into the engagement at this early stage of theibattle, but there was no other resource left him, ' Muiat sustained his high reputation on this occasion, and proved himself, for the hundreth time, worthy of the great confidence Napoleon placed in him. Nothing can be more imposing than the battle-field at this moment. Bonaparte and the Empire trembled in the balance, while Murat prepared to lead down his cavalry to save them. Seventy squadrons, making in all 14,000 well mounted men, began to move oyer the slope with the Old Guard marching sternly be hind: Bonaparte, it is said, was more agitated at this crisis than when,: a moment before, he was so near being captured by the Russians. But as he saw those seventy squadrons came down on a plunging trot, pressing hard after the white plume of Murat, that streamed through the snow storm far in front, a smile passed over his countenance. . The earth groaned and tremblodas they passed, and the sabres, above the dark and angry mass below, looked like the foam of a sea-wave as it crests on the deep.; The rattling of their armor, and the muffled thunder of their tread, drowned all the roar of battle, as with firm, set array, and swift, steady motion, they bore down with their terrible front on the foe. The shock of that immense host was like a fall ing mountain, and the front line of the Russian army went down like frost work bfore it. Then commenced a protracted fight of band to band, and sword to sword, as in the cavalry action at Eckmubi. The clashing of steel was like the ring ing of countless hammers, and horses and riders were blended in ; wild confusion together , the Russian Reserve were ordered up, and on these Murat fell with hjs fiprce horsemen, crushing and tramping them down by thousands. But the ob stinate Russians disdained to fly, and rallied again and again, so that it was ho longer cavalry cheer ing on infantry, but squadrons of horse galloping through broken hosts that, gathering into knots, still disputed, with unparal'.ed bravery, tbe red and rent field. It was during this strang3 fight that Murat was seen to perform one of these desperate deeds, for which he was so renowned. Excited to the high est pitch of pasnon by the obstacles that opposed him, he seemed endowed with ten fold strength, and looked more like a superhuman being, tread ing down helpless mortals, lhao an ordinary man. Amid the roar of artillery, and rattline of mus ketry, and falling of sabre-strokes lika lightning about him, that lofty white pi u me never onco went down, while over and anon it was seen glaring through the smoke of battle, the star of hope to Napoleon, and showing tbat his " right arm" was still uplifted )and striking for victory. He raged like Jan unloosed lion amid the foe, and his eyes, always terrible in battle, burned with increased lustre while his clear and steady voice, heard above the turmoil of strife, was worth more than a thousand trumpets to cheer on his followers. At length, seeing a knot of Russian soldiers that lor a long time bad kept up a devouring fire upon his men, he wheeled his horse and drove in full gallop upon theirj levelled muskets. A few of his guards, that never allowed that white plume to leave their sightj charged after him.

Splading, of this 'city, "who was a participatorin the recent! 6561 at PbiHippi, gives us tbe following particulars Ot that affair. Our forces were posted in the town of Phillippi, and numbered in all about 700 effective fighting men. Tbe commanding officer, Col. Porterfield, hav ing been infirtned on Sunday, by a courageous lady, who rode from Fairmount, in Marion county, through the lines of the enemy at Grafton, ana thence to Phillippi, a distance of 26 miles, that it was tbe purpose of tbe enemy to attack us. and knowing his superior force, determined upon re tiring to Beverley, which is distant 30 miles. Not having at hand tbe proper mode of convey ance, horses and wagons were impressed, with the view of leaving at midnight. It is stated that an order was issued for the pickets, outposts and scouts to be in at 11 o'clock on Sunday night, and this order was obeyed. The baggage of the respective companies was pla ced upon the wagons, but for some reason best known to the commanding officer, the horses were not attached, and they were left standing in the street. It was in this position of affairs-that on the, morning of Monday, about daylight, the enemy opened fire upon us from a two-gun battery of 6 pounders, posted upon a crowned point upon tbe opposite shore of the Tygarts' Valley River, which successfully commanded the camps of the Church- ville Cavalry, of Augusta, and tbe Cavalry of Kockbridgp, numbering altogether 180 men, who were situated on the opposite side of the river. - The horses of these corps being unaccustomed to tbe fire of artillery broke from the picket ropes, by which they were tied to the fence, and stamped ed in the wildest confusion, dashing in among the half-formed infantry and filling the streets. It was some timo before the confusion produced by both tbe fire and stampede was overcome. Meanwhile the enemy upon the opposite side of the river endeavored to force the passage ot the bridge with one piece of artillery, which he had held'in reserve, but in this movement he was checked by a bold charge of Capt. Richards, of tbe iiath (Javalry, who was stationed an the op posite side of the road. A running fire then en sued, which continued up the main street ot the town, the enemy having finally succeeded in cross ing the bridge, and the successive discharges from the troops brought him to a stand during every fow rods of his progress. On reaching the curve of the road 'leading to wards Beverley, the foot troops having been form ed by their respective officers, the main engage ment took place and terminated in the' final fight at Sturn's house, a mile and a half from the vil lage. Here the enemy received a check, gave up the chase, and Col. Porterfield made g&od his re treat to the village of Beverley. Colonel Willy, of Morganton, was taken pris oner in bis quarters, opposite to Capoti's Hotel. When last seen he was near the window, having been an invalid for some (days. A Mr. Martin, of Northwestern Virginia, "is also believed to have been captured by the enemy. The corps of Capt. Moorman, of Pendleton county, were particularly effective, as was also that of Capt. Hall, of Monterey. Lieut. Thompson of the Fairmount jR'fles, bore himself well during the action, closing up his ranks with the coolness of n old soldier. .So did Captain Higginbotham, of Upshur's corps. The successful termination of the fight, and the warmth of the contest, may be attributed to the wonderful gallantry of the men, rather than to the superintendence of any general officer, and numerous instances might be related of the most determined bravery on the part of individuals. The majority of our men showed admirable pluck. The U. S. soldiers fired at random, though armed with Minnie rifles, which accounts for our small loss. The enemy were about 3,000 strong, though from the character of the country they were un abloto bring theentire body into action. Through a lady, who has since arrived at Beverley, it ap pears theyacknowledge to 25 killed ; but the pre sumption is, that there were many more, to say nothing of sixty or seventy wounded, who were rapidly removed from the field. Our own loss, so far as is ascertaineJ, are Mr. Hanger, of Augusta Cavalry, who was killed near the bridge ; Mr. Martin, of Rockbridge, and Mr. Thomas E Sims, of Richmond. The latter indi vidual, when last seen, was bravely defending himself, near the wagon of the Quartermaster, to whom he was an assistant. The first wound he received was from a man who was mounted, but who afterwards met his deserts at the mouth of a musket. His last and mortal wound Mr. S. re ceived while between his wagon and' the fence, when he was endeavoring to mount a horse which was near by. He had been up during the entire night, preparing the vouchers fer the horses which had been pressed into service, and were to be paid for. These vouchers were upon his person, and, with his body, are presumed to have been taken by the enemy. Capt. Richards, of the Bath Cavalry, who was reported to be killed, escaped unhurt, and reached Beverley with his corns on Mondav. Private L. .B. Dangerfield, from the Warm Springs, was not killed, as reported. Heieccived a severe and painful wound on the left leg Just above the ancle, both bones being crushed. He was taken to Beveiley in a wagon, where his leg was removed on Tuesday morning, just below the knee. Nearly at tho same time Mr. Dangerfield was struck, Mr. Hogshead received a flesh wound in the arm, and a number of others were struck, but not dangerously injured. One of the most frightened individuals of the entire party was a negro, who was knocked down by the wind of asix-pound bail. He immediately sprang to his feet, jumped upon a horse and reach ed Beverley two hours in advance of any one else. Such wasthesuddenhess of tbeattack that some of the men had not time to dress. j Col. Porterfield is now at Beverley, where it is expected he can successfully maintain his position until reinforced. No doubt is entertained that the information of the absence of artillery in the command of Porterfield was conxmupicated to Gen. McClelland at Grafton, together with the fact that our forces intended to move that night, by resident traitors. As an illustration of the bravery of Virginia women,' we have above given an instance. Here is another : W'hen the; firing commenced, and while Mr. Sims was trying to get the Quarter master's baggage upon a wagon, a lady seeing his difficulty, boldly came forward, notwithstanding bullets were flying around her, took one end of the trunk and assisted him io his work. The chest of the Auams Express Company was captured by the enemy, but fortunately Quarter master Jordan had taken the precaution to remove tho money it contained, and tbe funds are now safe at Beverley. A number of defective rifles from Harper's Ferry were no doubt also taken from the jail, but the number of arms heretofore reported as captured is greatly exaggerated. THANK GOD FOR THE HARVEST ! ' The last week in April many of our farmers commenced reaping. The yield will bo enormous. Irom every quarter the gratifying intelligence comes of an abundance of Wheat, Rye, Oats aDd Barley ; and the Corn never looked better at this season The prospects of a super-abundance of bread to sustain our families and armies while struggling m bitter strife for our independence has elatedour whole population. In this blessing we gratefully recognize the kind band of Provi dence and again we say, f Thank God for the Har vest I Thank God once more for the fruitful plain, Where waves a sea of the bending grain ; Where the golden huesof the morning meet . A mirror bright in the dew-bathed Wheat. The famine-fiend with his wings had thrown A. Wood of gloom o'er the oarth's wide zone: J,t.lJ?Wvthe,8hoata of tho reapers ring, 11 the black bird start on hir trembling wing, While hu heart grows glad as he flies away, O er the harvests brown and the fragrant hay. Gay sounds are heard wber before awoke Wo sound from shuttle nor aniWstroke, And where was heard bat the voice of wail, The dance, the song and the smile prevail. Then God be praised for the fruitful plain, Where waves a sea of the bending grain ; Where the golden hue of the morning meet A mirror bright in the dew-bathed Wheat. -Waco (Ifeeo) Southwest- tUARTEB.
