The States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas, and IL we mistake not, all the States in
the Southern Ccnfederacy, continue to support the
different staff Departments Ia their State military
organizations, although their regiments may be
pissed over to the Government IF the Confederate
States, as soon as organized
The reason and necessity for this is obvious We
are not only fighting the battles of this war for The
rights, honor and independence Of the Gonfederacy,
but Of each separate State, 1t is the duty, and
should be esteemed the privilege, of each State in
the Conederacy to render all the assistance in its
power to the Confederate Government The Con-
Tolerate Government is not fully organized in all its
vast and complicated departments. Even if ne
had uninterrupted peace, it would require months,
nay years, to efficiently and thoroughly organize
every department so that they would work with
perfect precision regularity and smoOthness.
great Confederate Government with all its varied
qualifications and its multiplied agents ard officers,
cannot be improyised in day, aWeek or a month.
It must receive its strength, support and power
from the established State Governm ents until it can
be permanently and strongly built up In time Of a
great war for independence it is doubly important
that the States should lend their assistance counsel
ana power 70 HldAuteHaDCe OF armies ana pr0Yl-
sion of munitions and supplies, to support armies
To abandon every thing and leave the whole burden
Of defence upon young and struggling Govern
ment would have the appearance of shifting the
responsibility and burden Of the great work from
shoulders used TO the cares Of State to those just
trembling into existence. The probability is
that this is war in which the combined
and the individual energies of all the Confederate
States viii be called into action. Tennessee is q
frontier State and there is the strongest probability
that her fields will be attempted to be invaded, and
that therefore, it will be necessary that her whole
military organization should be in complete efieien-
cy Our State Government viii, from time to time,
be organizing new regiments To supply these
with arms, clothing and subsistence, all the appro-
pirate departments must be kept in action. We
must take care of our selves at heme when through
sny error or mischsnce weak point is overlooked
by the more distant Government In this way, we
may guard every point and make sure of our de-
fence.

From the Richmond Dispatch. Aug 81.
Passengers By the Central train yesterday report
ca that fighting wa going on the previous day 10
the neghboThood of Annondaie, Fairfax county, and
that nifty of the enemy were killed and six taken
prisoners, The loss on the Southern side was not
stated butas our troops had passed Annonfale at
the latest aceounta and were between Shutters Hill
and Arlington lights, the probability is that the en-
envy suffered decided repulse. The Washington
kilograms report that considerable force Of the
enemy had advanced to meet the Coufederates, pro-
basiy on Wednesday. They admit the loss Of ,.sey-
eraF killed and wounded ia skirmish. The Lynch
burg Republican of yesterday has the following:
a skirnish occurred on Wednesday morning last

were brought into direct conflict aud the battle was
wage with considerable feIceness for some time,
the result Of which the loss Of three killed
on our side. while the Hessians had ten killed and
fifteen taken prisoners Eight ofthe prisoners were
sent to Richmond yesterday by the Central train,
The Republican also publishes the following ex-
tract from letter dated Fairfax Court House, Tues
day, August q : A
The Home Guard returned late yesterday even
ing from Falls Church. and report the killing Of six
of the eDemy's piekets We lost none. The Home
Guard say they killed two, and that two Of our in
dependent scouts killed four of the enemy. Our
company (the Rife Greys) are Just about to start
out on picket and it said We will go to Annoniale
this time. A Georgia regiment belonging to our
brigade left here last night for Falls Church, with
several pieces of artillery
Everything indicates the early occurrence of
startling events upon the Potomac. If the enemy
can be made to leave his stronghOlds and meet our

We are informed that deserters from the neigh

Correspondents Of the Richmond Dispatch
FAIRFAX H. Aug, 26-As most false repre-
sentatiOn of a meeting between our pickets and
body of Yankee cavalry has been given in the Lin
In papers, Ihave concluded to give you true
statement of the facts in the case.
On Sunday, the 18th ult., Col Stuart, of the first
Regiment of Cavalry ordered 1t SouthalI of the
Amelia DragoOns, to go with twenty eight men to
the neighbOrhood of POhick Church-a part of the
country not hitherto visited by our pickets-and
station Dickets at such points az he might think sd
visable.
The Lieutenant proceeded Immediately with the
specified number OF men, detailed without choice
on his part,) from the several companies of the
regiment and on the Braddock's road stationed
eight (S) men; at Turner's station on the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad, four and on the PObick
road, eight more With the remaining eight ne
himself went forth on to the Pohi * Church. Soon
after arriving at the Church fifteen Yankee Ora.
goOns made their appearance from piece OF pines
and Immediately our men charged on them and
put them to flight 1t turned out, however, that
these flying fifteen were only small detachment of
large body of cavalry that were but little dis
lance off; and in g short time, they having Joined the
main body, the whole of them amounting to seventy
five. sreturned towards man.
Here then, were SeUeHty fiUe ankees against nine
Southerners-the bIlance of the twenty-eight men
beng too far distant to render any support their
comrades The entire body of the Yankees came
within fifty PAGES Of our little band before they
could distinguish them from friends They were
then comma .ded to halt to which they paid no re-
gard till they were third time ordered TO halt and
this last time they obeyed promptly. Thus serenity
five men were brought to stand by nine. At length
the valiant Yankees advanced at charge upon our
little corps firing voiley of shots at them. Uuder
such cirCum Stances the only alternative left our
men was TO retreat, and this they did though reluc
