The War spirit of the sou,h.

We are permitted by friend to publish the foE
lowing extracts from a letter addressed to him BIZ
friend Of his and ours, who lately left this city
for Virginia, to the sights. The letter is dated
Lynchburg, May 31at;
Along the whole line of the road the utmost en-.
thusiasm prevails, and it was well worth the trip
up along the road TO see how thoroughly aroused
the people are. AT every house and hamlet men,
women and children ran ont in crowds to throw
bouquets and wave hats and handkerchiefs at the
soldiers. No description could give would afford
the slghtest idea 20 one who has notyet seen these
things, how much Of unit the South is.
The Washington Artillery were eagerly looked
for oil along the route, and they will meet with
@ prlil1snt reception everywhere, Everybody has
| frrneo.-Ed1 We stopped one day in Huntsville,
Ala, TIE prettlesf place have been in. The
scenery IN irginia surpasses anything ever ex~
pected and the living is ahead Of anything ever
saw-strawberries and cream in abundance, and
as much milk can drink.
We passed some 10000 troops. at Corfnth, Miss.
some fifty n9iles east of Grand Junction. Some of
the partings Of the Mississippi troops and their
families and sweethearts ct the various stations
along the Mississippi road. They are the widest
set Of boys ever met, and can beat any Indians
yell5Eg.
It is said here that Jackson's brother has killed
some 8fteen or twenty of the New York Zouaves
in revenge of his brothers death, by concealing
| himself in the bushes and underground around
| Alexandra, and picking them off with his rife
| whenever the opportunity offers.
1t is sad that the Naryander8 have large NUM-
Der of buried in their State and that as soon
as the q. s: forces sustain a defeat they will be
| attacked in the rear by the Maryland boys.
| The ladies' of this place Q1ynchburg) very
enthusiastic; and make Up uniforms for whole
regiment at tlfe shortest notice. They have an
immense society room, with a couple of dozen
sewing machines, and turn out an astonishing
| amount of work every day
The citizens here have made excellent provision
for their soldiers families. A large warehouse is
filed with bacon, -four sugar, etc., and every day
| OF help.
| 1t does one good to see how these Virginia pee,
pie open their fearts and purses in the cause. II
seems to afford them pleasure to be able to assist
| soldier in any way, and do not look upon assist
ance so rendered as a bore. The gentleman al
whose house we are staying has three sicls sol
diers in his house, and this house, as all Others
lin the place, are open to similar sufferers.

BALTIMORE, June 3 An intense excitement was
created here to-day by the rHmor that Gen. Butler
had been captured. Lieutenant j. H. Shots of
the Navy from Washington, stated that he heard
a dispatch read in the Navy Department at Wash
ngton this morning, detailing the fact that on
Saturday last. Gen. Butler, with number OF others
of the army, were on a accommodating expedition
when they were captured by the Confederates:
Several gentlemen from Washington tonight,
concur in the statement that greater NUMBER OF
the Federal forces were killed at Fairfax Court
house and Aqua Creek, than has been reported
One of our evening papers of today states that
the employees on the Baltimore and Ono railroad
have been sworn to secrecy as to the passage OF
troops over that road and to the number OF dead
| bodies returned to the North.
| Our military companies continue to be disarmed

SUPERINTENDENT OF INDIAN AFFAGRs-The State
Convention has turned over the office OF Super
nendent of Indian Affairs for the Southern Super
ntendency TO Major Elias Rector, former Superin-
tendent who will continue to conduct the affairs OF
said office until some ton in regard to it is taken
by the Southern Confederacy. From the known
ability of the Major in Indian matters, and from
the able and satisfactory manner in which he mas
discharged the duties of the office for the last four
years as we'll his known position as an original
States Rights Southern man, he will doubtless be
continued as Superintendent by the Southern Con-
federacy if he desires to do so.

NEWPORT NEws PoHT.-The origination of the
name of this Point, lately made notorious by the
advance Of Cen Buffers force, is thus explained ::
The early colony on James river was at one time
reduced to straitened condition, and some OF its
tcntion of proceeding to England. They reached
the bend in the river, which is at present an obecs
Of interest, and paused for some days. When they
we're about to set sail, they saw ship coming np
the Roads, bearing the British ensign. They de-
iayed till it should arrive 1t proved to be Lore
Newport's ship with his Lordshp on board, who
brought the intelligence that the ship which thu
colony had long before despatched to England TO
supplies, ard which was many months overdue
! Meantime, his Lordship distributed provision
among the colonsts who, from these circun
stances, named the place ''Newport's News" o
account of the good things which his Lordshl
brought to them

ANorHER ISLANDER REFrTED.-tarlile and his
brother traitors i'll the Northwest have charged that
the cotton States, after having drawn Virginia out
of the Federal Union, are now leaving her to fight
her own battles against the whole power of the
North. To prove the assertion, they quote a re-
mark attributed to Howell Cobb, President of the
Congress of the Confederate States, to the effect
that "you Georgans will h9se no fighting to do
Virginia will be the battle-ground" leaving the in
ference to be drawn that Virginia would have a
monopoly of the fighting in this Yankee war: The
whole story is sheer fabrCatiOn-a misChieVOuS
falschood Howell Cobb never made the remark
attributed to him, and every man now sees that the
cotton States and the people thereof are all mani
