I'ooii Old ViitoiMA. Formerly noted for her hospitality, her chivalry, and her patriotism, she peiiniltcd berseil to be mar-haled into tbe ran!. a of rebellious States. Having sacrilied her loyalty ou Ibe altar of shivery, she followed the idiotic counsel of Wise, and yieldod to the tyrannic sway of the thief Floyd, and the meuace of the lit artless and unscrupulous Moaon. What a spectacle does Virginia prenent to the clvili.ed world! In vain the voice of l'otrick llcury comes echoing along the aisles of the past, in tcnc f patriotism that stir the heart with emo tion. In vain the words of the gresst Washington who in Ihe car of the "Old Dominion." fche is deaf and dumb and blind with rebellion, awl stumbles over t',e tomb of Washington into lie itulf of ruin, bite now spits upon patriotism, and tramples It in the dust, and bums it iu ctiigy, and billies It behind masked baitcriea. If her cities be burned to the ground, und her soil plowed Willi caunon-balls, and watered with blood, and the whole baud laidwaste.lt is her own fault.

Ilobel prisoners captured by this force reported the return of Oenoral Rousseau's expedition to J iln B her man : ' T'pon leaving F.irt narrancas ou the 21st Inst., and after marching somo thirty miles, we at tacked a force of the enemy at dtybreuk, at Camp Gon.ales, on tho I'eusacola Itailroad, lif tecn miles above I'ensacola. There were three companies of the 7th Alabama Cavalry, in com mand of Colonel Hudson, of over l'-"l men each. They bad completed a new fort, which they de fended most vigorously ; hut which submitted to Ibo dash of our men after hall an hour's bard tmhting. they left tbclr regimental Mag, a large quantity of stores, amiimni ion, horses, cattle, etc., and eight prisoners, among whom was a lieutenant. We advanced toward Tollurd, and had a slight cnvnlrv engagement between part of C iinpany 11, lltb New York Cavalry, and a part of the 7th Alabama Cavalry. We capiuied three prisoners, with horsos, arma, Ac , losing one horse killed. Tho prisoners taken state, that to chock our advance ihe Hetuls had destroyed tbo F,no Italic n Bridge, on both sides of which art im passable swamps. With a view of destroying a trusel work at and below l'erdtdo station, and cutting the telegraph line, and descending between l'crdido river and Mobile Hay, und so capturing the camps of Withers and l'owell. an order was despatched to have transportation in readiness on the 'Jtitb at Ntienecis Ferry, on the 1'erdido river; but, after advancing some seven milos further, wo received from reliable sources information that all the available forces from Mobile were being sent up the railroad to check our progress. It was then deemed prudent to return, having but a small force and only two pieces of artillery. General As both returned to Harrancas without the loss of u man. All tbe prisoners taken agreed in the statement that Rousseau's force had cut the Alabama Railroad, snd having InllicMd I great deal of damage, had returned north. S. (. Tim', July 31.

An unknown iron-plated rm, bearing the United States flag, passed the Isle of Wight, to tho westward, on tho 2 ith ult.

Our F.uropenn advices by tbo Itihrrnlnn and Oft of London inform tia that an Ir.m-pl ite I steam' war ram, hoisting tho United States' flag, was seen passing the Isle of Wight on tho afternoon of the 2bth of July, steering t lh wes'word. AVe regard this Intelligence as conveying a fac of the utmost importance, and consequently cal tbe especitii attention of the fxocnttve,revenuB mil port authorities to it. 1 he ni ed States Govern ment has no ram of any description employed In if service off the cousts of Knrope or on the Atlantic, whereas the Rebel naval representatives in the Old World have, as everybody knows, tiaded in vessels of this description, from L iird's v ard, at Ilirkenliciid, K.mtland, to Hordcnux, In France, and thence away to the shores of tha Uo'Pborna. - Toe steam ram which passed the Isle of Wight on tbe 2btb of July was, in all likelihood, a Bcb.-I ram, notwithstanding the fact that, she displayed the Union flair. This bas, no donbt, been done in order to enable her to escape luterrapption ou the part of our cruisers. If the were a Hehel war vessel, she must he nnar our coast by this time, find it behooves the ?ort officers and naval authorities nt New York, loston, Philadelphia, Portland, and the mouth of tbe James river to keep a sharp lookout f ir ber. An iron-plated Rebel mm could Inibct the most serious damage npon our city In a sink'le niftht.
