From Virginia.

AQUA CREEK, Va, July l6, 1861.
EDITORS PATRIOT There seems to be a
disposition on the part of the Federalists
on the Potomac at this point to make
| no offensive movement; their vessels are
anchored in sight. but dare not approach
our shore. A vigilant watch is kept on their
movements, and should they attempt land
| ing they will not fare the best.

near this place, and if there is such posi-
ton, Capt. Dennisou's company, with Lieuts.

ton of defense; but others of more military
skill than myself, think otherwise.

health and fine spirits; but the dull routine
Of military duty and the monotonous mac
iivity of their movements contribute to make
the regular camp rather dull place, but at

all this section, are remarkably kind; they
furnish the soldiers with milk, butter, vegeta-
bles, &C., without cost as far as they are able.

How Gen. Garnett was Kined.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Conamer-
eial furnishes that journal with long and in
teresting account of the battle of Cheat River,
10 which Gen. GARNET was killed. Having
given q description of the retreat of the
Southern troops across the river, the writer
says:
General Gornett was the last to cross the
ford, which he did on foot, aud stood by the
river shore, waving his handkerchief and
calling them to come back and dispute the
passage of the ford. Major Gordon of the
U. 5. army at this moment appeared on the
opposite side, which the rebels had jus, left,
and seeing them huddled in the road, called
to the advance of Dumont's command, which
was rushing along like whirlwind, to come
on. Gen. Garnett directed the attention of
his paHic-stricken rear to the Major, and
volley of bullets fell thick as hail around
him, many lodging in the sycamore stump on
which he was standing. The Major at the
same time saw Garrett, and pointing him out
to squad of Capt. Ferry's company, Sergt.
Burlingame drew deliberate sight on the
General and fired. He was seen to throw up
his hands and fall back on the sand. At the
same instant almost the only man who had
the pluck to stand by the General, "a Geor-
gian, be II said, to the shame of the chivalry
of Virginia. tell dead by his side. Dumont's
regiment had come up in much less time than
it has taken to record this event, and poured
raking fire into the enemy, who made
stand OF some ten minutes, during which the
fire was sharp On both sides, and then they
ran, crowding upon each other in the widest
confusion. Dumont's regiment crossed the
ford, and chased them two miles up the Saint
Georges road, where they gave out from alb
solute exhaustion, and bivoucked for the
night.
Major Gordon had crossed the ford in the
meantime, and came up to General Garrett,
who was in the last agony of death. He dis
covered his rank by the star on bis shoulder
strap, closed his eyes, and selling linen
handkerchief from an Indiana boy, tied up
his face, and composed his limbs.

that her husbands creditors should receive
to the extent of the estate their Just dues.
There are but few small debts otherwise
due. These shall endeayor to meet as soon
as possible. So long as God spares my life.
my daughter and the children shall have
command of such means as my unwearied
exertions can procure for them. Mrs. Doug
las is unwilling in these embarrassed times tsat
the widow of Judge Douglas should claim
more of his friends than the same true and
tried devotion to his memory they have ever
manifested TO him 10 liie

ton, but have been induced to do so from
my daughters distress at observing the nll-
merous generous and patriotic appeals in be-
half OF the family Of Judge Douglas.

LEBANON, July II, 1861.
Hon. WM.- LEDBETTER-Dear SIR: l feel
very much eOmplimented by the action of
the people of Rutherford, and to you for the
terms in which you communicate your own
and their wishes aud opinions TO me. l had
no desire to run for Congress at this time
was really anxious that some other person
might be selected. But since l am convinced
that the people of the District want me to
serve them, | do not hesitate to forego my
own feelings, interests and ease, and accept
the call l have so answered the committee
appointed at public meeting in Franklin
l have made like response to call from
Sumner.
Contrary 10 what 1 thought was my set
tied determination, shall find myself again
embarked on the boisterous ocean of poll
tics. A man cannot tell when he once gets
afoat on such a sea when he may make the
land again, But It may be that the excite
ment of public life may keep off the effects
OF age and protract my days. At all events,
feel it duty TO serve my country in any
position that the people may think can be
most useful to them. | have nothing else
now to live for but my country.
The time is too short, and | am taken too
much by surprise, to make canvass. My
friends must attend to the case for me. As
the questions were all SO fully discussed be-
fore the people in the last canvass, and my
own positions are so we'll known, it would be
perhaps unnecessary to trouble the people
with speeches. 1 will spend the intervening
time in preparations for the efficient service
of the people, in the responsible position to
which they seem disposed to call me.
If however, it should be thought necessa-
ry. can make few speeches in each eoun-
ty.
Very respectfully your friend,
ROBT. L. CARUTHERS.

HoN. r. L. CARUTHERs.-We republish this
morning, from the Murfreesboro' NeaCs, a let
ter from Hon. r. L. CARUTHERA informing
the people of Rutherford of his acceptance
of their nomination for Congress. The tone
and spirit of the Judges letter are admra-
bic. We commend il to the attention of our
readers.
The State needs such men as Judge Ca
RUrHERs in her service now, and can i'll af
ford 10 permit him to descend from the Su-
preme Bench. But the necessities of the
times must reconcile her to his transfer TO
another position where his great influence,
and eminent attachments, can be exerted in
behalf of the whole South. Would that the
State had more such men; OF rather that all
her public men, and those who aspire to her
service, were governed by the lofty motives,
the answering honesty of purpose, and I'M
finching patriotism that distinguished him.
We should not then witness the disgusting
scrambles for Office, the petty intrigues, and
the miserable at tempts to prescribe and
qreak down honest men, which have made
our elections sometimes ridiculous faTces.
