FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

.The crcwaing of the tatter is believed to have ta
ken place ou Saturday and Sunday, at Leesburgi
at which point and on which occasion occujred
the cavalry fight mentioned in yesterday's MEnJ
quuer." Qur lines between Culpcper and Fred
ericksburg are still strong enough to oppose any
ivico iuo enemy may De able at this time to bring
against it, while a strong farce, which will 'be
strengthened to day by State . troops, will stand
prepared for any attempt Uie enemy may make
from the direction of the Peninsula to marcik on
'Richmond. i "i
Official news from the Peninsula on yesterday
states that the enemy were landing in force on
James river at Brandon, and at some- point ou
York River. In view of this the Governor issued
a call upon the citizens to organize to meet, the
invasion , which was promptly and enthuaisticallv
respbuded;to last evening in the Capitol Squjare".
It ia evident that the enemy ddsire to make a diver
tion by this movement to the detriment of Gen.
Lep, but he will fail ; and if his advance is made
very fr up the Peninsula, it will prove a failure
both ignominious and disastrous. We havk no
doubt that the Vandals will make a blazing raid
in the lower counties ; but that they will accjouw
plish aught else of any impoftanceis, in our Opin
ion, simply absurd. j .
Although th'u news of thenemy's movements
bwlow cornea through official sources, as indicated
above, it reaqhod those sources in such a 1 way
that many grains of allowance are to bo made in

Camp Outdo, Va., JuneiJa, 188?.
It waa with fealings of the deepest indignation
read ia your paper of tie 1st mat., some
U ftdria the.North Carolina Standard, of. the
extrai
39th. lilt; i you ay trulyj "that you ot tneouteiae
canndt without danger dissent from the insidious
doctrines promulgated by the Standard. , Fot the
Standard ia ever ready to pert ert .a rebuke to

I trujst I am no lees sensitive about the hoc or of
North i Carolina than the Standard, but I have
neref discovered anything in the denunciations
of lf.IIolden and his poisonous doctrines, that
appeared to me to be the least Offensive to North
Carolina. On the oontrarv, the Richmond papers
have been careful to disclaim any . intention to
reflect! upon the honor, patriotism, or valor, of
Nortihj Carolinians, whenever they have seen fit
to rebiika tha Standard. Mr. Holden must think
to denounce him is to insult North Carolina. It
must, be very gratifying to him to gain the appro.
UitiiJn, of Greeley, and his like, for certainly such,
l'UnirMiM nn nunia from his racer reflects the
KtentilmenU of few of the Deople, and none of the
VttoforthOaroliiia. Iti. painful, though,
Mr. iEditor, to witness the efforts to injure the
fair fame of the Old North State" that are
docstajnt); being made by a person who pretends
1o 'jprotect and defend her." For he, and all
whoiej-sentimems are "reflected by the language
alluded to, : are enemies to their country and to
rNorth Carolina.
I'upe the Standard will not.be the standxi-d
by which North Carolina ia to be judged. The
deedk of North Carolina soldiers, on many a
bloody battle field, are sufficient proof that such
sentijnaentsjlad no favor here.. We love our old
Stale,; and we are jealous of her honor. We have
fougjht and suflercd, and bled for her rights srd
her Jpjnor ; and we will continue to do so till they
are secured ; and we appeal to our friends.at home
to d( down all who' would put a stain upon her
I bright name. For North Carolina may, I think,
be jiifltly proud of ner pact history,' and the last
itwo lyseart of it particularly. .
i i uavo written mis, jur. caiior, uoi wuu a uopu
that ill will effect any change, or even modifica

wish vou to understand that its views are not re
flected by the North Carolina soldiers.

THE! RECENT FIENDISH OUTRAGE BY
ApiYANKEE UPON A YOUNG LADY
IN MATTHEWS COUNTY.
From Captain L. W. Allen, the commander of
the jseouting party, a member of which captured
Mcphull, we get the following particulars of the
:outtajge before referred to in these columns. We
'static the facts as calmly as we can, and with as
!mu$h minuteness of detail as we deem necessary.
! At the time of the perpetration ot the outrage,
iMias C'ary, the victim, was visiting at tbe house of
a near neighbour, Mrs. Foster. McCoull came
up id the bouse, accompanied by two soldiers, who
k allled him Captain. He, with an oath," ejected
Mrs.! Foster from tbe house, and placing the two
men at the doors as sentinels, seized and forced
Miisi Cray into a back room, despite her cries and
entreaties, and U rew her upon a bed, holding a
loaded pistol at her head, and threatening to blow
herj brains out if she resisted him. In this condi
tion,; worse than death, Miss Cray was kept for
fln hour and a half by the fiend, until her motfier,
attracted by her screams to the spot, looked in
through the window. So shocked and overcome
was the agonized mother at the spectacle, that she
actually begged the wretch to shoot her daughter !
McCoull bad promised his two companions the
gratification of their lust in turn, but the discovery
hastened them all off. After they bad .gone Mr.
Bell, a prominent citizen of the neighborhood,
wehjt down to Yorktowri with tbe two ladies
namied, and made complaint to General Key'cs,
the Federal commander there. Xeyea at first
sparse and acted as though be mistrusted -holr
missiion and the statement they made. They
named the regiment and the company to which
McCoull belonged, and dwired an opportunity to
point him out. Keyes practiced a ruse and order
ed the particular regiment, the Second New York,
to tiass in review before a point whe'e the ac
cusers stood, but sept back the company to which
McCoull belonged. Tbe regiment pa38ud,and the
ladies said be was not there. Keyes then became
impressed with the conviction that there was
i something in the complaint, and ordered the com-
t?s' r-
pany 10 wnica juciouu oeiongea 10 pass, in an
instant both ladies exclaimed simultaneously as
McCoull. appeared. i That's him 1 That's him 1 "
McCoull whs called and stepped from the raoks
aahy pale, and trembling with fear and agitation.
General Keyes at once ordered him under arrest
inj the guard-house, placed irons upon him; and
promised to have him court martialed and proper
ly' punished.
A few days after this'occurrence, a man in
Yankee uniform dame over from the direction of
YTc rktown, wearing Jtpair of handcuffs. To those
wbb first encountered him he explained his
jmsfnacled condition, by saying that he had been
placed in irons for striking a non-commissioned
officer, and bad escaped.' His story being plau
sible enough, was believed, and his fetters being
broken off he was allowed to go free.. The man
started off towards the Potomac, and in passing
through Matthews cjunty he was arrested by Mr.
Dtajbson, of Captain Allen's company. About that
time a house had been burned in the neighbor
hood, and Mr. Dobson held his prisoner on that
amount, as a. suspicious character. The " terri
b1j4 outrage on Miss Cray was at tha same time
agftating the community, and it Began to be
suspected that the prisoner might be the man.
Titie young lady was sent for aiid recognized him
at once as McCoull, and was so overcome as to
falfl insensible to the ground.
As We have stated heretofore, McCoull has been
brought to Richmond and confined In Castle
THunder with a twenty-four pound ball and chain
to-; his leg. Since his imprisonment, with tbe
probable consequences of his crimes staring him
in 'the face, McCoull has manifested. great contri
tion for his offdnae". He was yesterday delivered
up to t He civil authorities Of Matthew county.
! and returned to that place for trial.

"We have ai la3t direct and5 positive intelligence
Ig .n
upea'V
from beyond the Mississippi, which clears up ai
doubts, mvthajaod rufhors which have been vex
iDg us for some weeks past
We leather our Information from an intelligent 1
centlem
ntleman, just from theheadquartert of Uerai 4
Kirhv Smith, who has
omciai wiuuum
army, and who crossed the Mississippi river at
Natchea tast irriaay.
The first important fact we learn is, that Gen.
Smith is fully posted as to the situation at Vicks
burg and PorfHudsOn, and ia directing the foyecs
of bis department with a view to second General
Johnatxm on this side of the riV3r in the work of
raising the seige oT those two cit'es. Gen. Smith's
headquarter! were at Shrievepoft, from which
rirvt-ha has aaav water communication with the
Mississippi, to a point near Vicksburg, by the Rdd,
Black and Tensas rivers His troops are already
at the posts selected for them in carrying out Gen.
'Smith's creat plan, which is to cut off General
Grant's suppuei.- u mis ena ueu. a -vision,
of Geo. Dick Taylor' army, was already
at Young's Pint with 7,000 men, and the artil
lery necessary to command the river as, to trans
ports and other woJdeo vessels.
Three thousand men, undar Brig. Gen. Green,
were on thffTemnsula opposite to Port Hudson,
and in a position, with the aid of Gen. Gardner'
batteries, to completely, close the river to Ue ene-
my's boaU. . '
Marmaduke, of Gen. Price's army, was near
Helena, and Gen. Price, wittt 17,000 men, was on
the march for that point, his object being the same,
to command the river and cut off Grant's supplies.
The great fall in the Mississippi river, 28 feet be
low high water mark, afforded great facilities to
these cnerati'ons. The narrowness of the stream
fo rced passing vessels to come wu un easy range oi
the shore batteries, while the ivSr had sunk so
low that the attacking parties could not be reach
ed by the enmj's gunboats.
The garrison f Port Hudson and Vicksburg
are both well provisioned and in fine spirits each
uneasy about the fate of the other, but entirely
confident in their own situation. They have abun
dant supplies. News has been received from
Vickshurg up to Saturday night. Grant's army
is undoubtedly 'suffering for want of water, and
suffering more from being obliged to drink the
water of the Big Black, which is very unwhole
some. As our informant says, Gen. Johnston is
in no hurry to move, for this, among other rea
sons: that he does not like to interfere wit:, ins
action of the waters. . He is in regular com; . ; i

move off.
Louisiana has been abandoned by the enemy,
and there are no Yankee troops except about'Do
naldsonville. Gen. Morton, with 7 000 men, is at
Franklin, St. Mary's Parish. In their retreil'-ne
Yankees carried offmulea and destroyed n ry
wagons. But most of the negroes havr?ibipen ;
captured, and are being sent btck to their own
ere.
The R'xl-River is free of i ankee'veisels

constant and uninterrupted. The enemy's t n
boats are Dowerless to prevent it. Ten thou jad
head of cattle were on their way to ihis side, " id
have probably passed by this time.
The Crescent regiment and the 18th Louisi a,
both of which, were formerly stationed iear J -bile,
are at Bayou Lamourie, sixteen miles" beiow
Alexandria.
Gen. Magruder has his eyes tixed on Vicksburg,
and is co-operating with his fellow-soldiers nearer
tbe scene of action.
The foregoing facts may be relied upon for their
general accuracy ;. and they put a new face or. the
great campaign in tbe Valley. Pemberton and
Gardner shut up in their strougbold4with plon
ty to eat and drink, and ample powder and ba'l
for the entertainment of the enemy defy and
l&ugh at the hosts vrho are scowling and digging
outside of their works. While Grant sits down
quietly that is, as quietly as Big Black water and
the sun and mosquitoes will permit lo starve out
Pemberton, Kirbv Smith, Price and Taylor are
arranging littledetails to starve him otit and com
pel him to abandon his unhealthy locality.
OncQ again, our climate comes to our aid. The
rivers have fallen with unwonted rapidity and the
enemy's vessels, stranded on sand banks, ar bcau-
ty spots on the picturesque scenes' of the great riv
er. If Grant is forced to retire, many of the ves
sels of the Yankee fleet between Vicksburg and
Port Hudson must be lost. When scarcity, bad
water, malaria and demoralization have done their
work upon Grant's hosts, Johnston's opportunity
will have arrived, and we have strong hopes that
a combined attack between him and Pemberton
will result in realizing one ot those "pulverizing"
military operations of which we read so much In
Northern papers.
We think the situation greatly relieved, 'and
we certainly "breathe freer." We cn now afford
to await events with becorning''patienc Mobile
