by our citizens-. It was discovered and
raised out of tbe river some fifty years ago,
and bad been used, most probably, in Fort
Augusta, just above town. It was fired oo
Thursday, on tbe arrival of the Sunbury
Guards, on their return borne from tbe army.
THE MCSt AOS AND THE CRITIC.
There havt been various learned ana ao
learned, wit and nowise criticisms on tbe
President'! lata message, but we claim for
oor neighbor of tba Northumberland County
Democrat tba rare merit of having discovered
something In it wblcb no one else bas been
able to find. lo the Democrat of July 19tb,
tbe editor, to commenting on tbe message,
says, io regard to tbe Presidenl'i views on
Secession, tbat ''
"He acknowledges tha right of Western Virginia to
secede form a new Plate, and elect a Oovenvw and II.
B Senatora ut tlia anme time acknowledging thai .Hilh
ern tecesei'Ui it illegal, time pretending that one-half of a
Slate con secede while a whole Slate cannot."
The editor of tbe Democrat will greatly
oblige os and many others, by pointing out in
what part of the message the President
acknowledges any such right of Virginia to
secede and form a new State,
Now, we had supposed that everybody who
reads tbe papers, at least tbat every editor
knew tbe fact tbat, allhoogb it was first
contemplated by tbe loyal citizens of western
Virginia to form a new State out of part of
the old one, that the idea was abandoned,
aod tbat tbe present government at Wheeling
professes, ond properly, too, ondsr tbe con.
stitution, to be tbe only true government of
the entire State. Our neighbor labors under
the erroneous Idea tbat a new government
necessarily implies a new territorial organi
zation, and confounds tbe two and then
belabors tho President because be has not
furnished both argument and understanding
to all bis readers, which Mr. Lincoln cer
tainly was not bound to do, even though he
is a Republican President,
Wilb tbe above specimen of onr neighbor's
critical aenmeo, we are not surprised tbat
be should Cud some of tbe "paragraphs of
tbe message incomprehensible."
Tbe message, it is true, is not a classical
production, but is perfectly intelligible and
eminently patriotic, a matter of much more
importance at tbis time than
"Woideof learned leuglith and thundering sound,"
11 To amaze the gazing rustics range around. "
The only pargiaph in tbe message relating
to the subject of secession in Virginia, is as
follows :
"The nconle of Vlrcinia have thui allowed this riant
insurrection to make its nest witlnn her hordt-rs : ami
thus the Uovcmnient liusno choice left but to denl with
it where it finds ir, and it tins the levsreaiet, as Ihe loynl
citizens have, in dne form claimed its protection. These
loym ciuzens mis unvernmetit is bound to recognize auu
protect, as being Virginia."
In tbis the President distinctly states that
be recognizes the government of tbe loyaj
citizens in Virginia "us being Virginia."
Our neighbor should leern to discriminate
between a government and a territory, tbe
one being about os much like the other as a
farmer is to bis farm.
aoiTiiKii sYMPATiiizens, nut patriots.
Men wbo sympathise with the South, some
times complain that they are called secession
ists end disunionists. They are perhaps not
in one sense obnoxious to tbis charge, but
when men professing intelligence and patrio
tism, find fault with tbe President iu culling
out volunteers for tbe defence of our govern
ment, under tbe plea tbat be has violated the
Constitution, tbey need notcompluiu if such
charges are mudo. 1'he man wbo would not
shoot down an incendiary wbo was about to
apply tbe torcb to the building tbat contain,
ed bis family and all be held most dear in
this world, because such an act would be a
violation of the strict letter of tbe law, would
be looked upon as a poltroon or an idiot. And
this is precisely the case with the President.
Tbe chiefs of tbe rebel traitors at Montgom
ery, after opening the war on Sumter, declared
they would soon t&ke possession of our Capi
tol in tbe same way, and our southern sym
pathisers contend that we bad no right to
prevent tbe destruction of tbe best govern,
tnent on earth and tbut wo should have wait
ed until Congress could be assembled, to
declare war, although before that could be
done under tbe forms of the Constitution the
rebels might themselves occupy tbe Capito!
at Washington. We can in some measure
excuse ignorant men led by desiguing politi
cians, but we have no patience with men of
intelligence professing to be patriots and
union men, and yet advocating such misera
ble secersioo sentiments. ucb was precise
ly tbe conduct of the tories of the Revolution
Tbey all professed themselves in fuvor of
America, but tbey were opposed to taking
op arms against hngland. Jf there is any
difference between onr Southern eympathi.
o r s and tbe tories of tbe Revolution, it is in
favor of tbe tatter.
C3T Dr. Russel, tba intelligent army cor
respondent of tba London Timet, who wit
caused all the great battle in the Crimea
act ia Italy, wet present at Bull's Run and
Man ems, and gives the following interesting
account of those battles :
E. Ri'ssiu,' Cosiiibkt tron rnn Bat
TLx.Cupt, Dolliver, of tbis city, wbo was
neat the contending hosts from an early hour
on Ibe morning of the late battle aritil itt
close, says tbat person unacquainted with
military . movements could only make out
vast columns of smoke, and hear Incessant
peals of heavy artillery, and the whistliog of
bullets.; During several hours of tbe fight
be was in company with Dr. Russell, wbo was
mounted on a Sue bOrse, and who explained
lo bita some of the muvuuioots at tbey
progressed.
Tbe Union troops, he laid, were too Im
petuous) tbey rushed forward with reckless
valor, instead of steadily gainiug ground, and
holding every Inch as tbey gained it. Dr.
Rnssell rode op to tbe flanks of the various
divisions rbgaged, and saw the distance they
were aparlnad the effect of the firing, wbieb
was deeltieol? In fuvor of the Union troops.
Dr. Russell reoms to have anticipated some
disaster in the rear, from a casual remark to
the effect tbat tbe bailie wai won, "if no
miebaD overtakes the rear of the Federal
forces." As be explained to Capt. Dolliver
some of tbe movements, be loaned him bis
glass to see for himself. lie said that our
troops held their own like veterans when
opposed by superior numbers, but they lacked
steadiness in falling back.
Dr. Russell saw tbe rebel cavalry as tbey
emerged from tbe woods, and remarked lo
Captaio Dolliver that they numbered about
a thousand, and Capt. D. himself sayi that
he thinks that Dr. Russell was about right
in his estimate. A very small force of even
infantry properly posted, could have driven
them off tbe field. But that for:e was not at
band. They charged among the teamsters,
aod created a panic, which was more destruc
tive than tbeir swords.
Capt. Dolliver remarked to Dr. Russell
tbat be thought tbat the troops from the
front, as tbey came op, would stop the
retreat at a certain point ; but the Doctor
said, "oo, tbey are all more or less infected,
it is painful very paiuful, to we must look
out to make good our own tetreal."
Captain Dolliver and Dr. Russell retreated
In company until all danger from the victori
ous rebels was past.
Cant. Dolliver says tbat tbe men suffered
mucb from want of water, and that tbey had
been inspired Wjtb tbe hope of Gen. Uuller
bearing down roioo our tluok and General
Patterson bponftbe other, while they drove
in the centre. Tbey fooght confidently that
victory was within tbeir grasp, and boew not
the disaster in the rear nutil too late to
retrieve it. Botlun Traveller.

The Odd Fellows Hall, the jail, and a few

yesterday by our troopa in apprehension of an

Capt. Bryan, of tba Georgia llrmers, and
four others, came in yesterday with a flag of
truce, relative to tbe baggage or Capt. Jen
kins and tbe artist Sburtliff, wbo were
wounded and made prisoners bv tbem some
time ago. It turns out tbat they were met
by a party or amateur soldiers on the other
tide. Tbe flag was received by Capt. Duller
and Liieul. vviegol, outside ibe entrench
ments. A proposal to exchange them for
two Confederate soldiers was rejected, but
arrangements were made to forward tbe bag'
gage of tbe wounded men, Tbe flag of truce
was evidently a feiut for rtconnoiteriog
Hampton and vicinity.
A flag of truce came into Newport News
this morning with a proposition living our
troops twenty four hours to leave, with tbe
threat that in case tbe place was not evacua
led tbey would fotce as out.
Tbe gun boat Dale, twenty four gnns, at
once went up from Old Point. Tbe Alba
tross aod Penguin are also stationed there,
while tbe Minnesota and seven gun boats at
Old Point are ready to assist should New

Col. Phelps says that be can bold the
place against twice the number of bis force
which now consists of four effective regi
ments. Tbe entrenchments are of a formi
dable character aud the rebels will meet with
a warm receptioo. Both flags of truce of
course represent that there is a very large
rebel force between Yorktowu and Old
Point.
Tbe rebels bave to-day been practising
from a battery at Willoogbby'a Point, some
five miles below Sewell's Point. Heavy

In the thickest of the contest it OecMaion
Colonel of Cavalry waa knocked outof hia saddle
by a ball from one of our riflemen. "There goes
Old Baker, of the Georgia Firat !" shouted one
of our bovs, in hearing of his chaplain. "Who!"
queried the parson. "Colonel linker, of th
Rebel ranks, baa just gene to bis long home !"
"Ah! well, replied the chaplain, quietly, 'tlv
longer I live Ihe less cause I have to find fault
with the inscrutable acta of Divine Providence !
An unlucky private in one of the New V
regiments was wounded in this fight, and hia
father arrived at the hospital just as the aargrenn
was removing the ball from the back of hia

on the pallet. "Ah! my poor son," said the
