The last mails bring us discouraging accounts
from our troops in North Western Virginia. North
ern accounts by way of Cincinnati, state that Gen.
Mcclellan in command of Lincoln's forces, had cap
tured the entire camp of the Confederates at Laurel
Hill. This account is contradicted. Gen. Garnett
is in command at Laurel HILL Recently, it was
said Georgia regiment had captured at that point
a number of Federal troops. Gen. Mcclellan was
in that negh6orhood. He is one of the ablest Gen.
erals of the North and it is possible, with supe-
ror force, he may have captured portion of our
troops. COL Pegram's command, the one said to
have been captured, numbered only 1000, while
McClean's force amounted to 10000.
In the Senate of Lincoln's Congress, on the 18th
inst, the Force bill, &C., passed. In the House,
the bill raising 100000 volunteers was passed
Stirring events are looked for from Winchester
Gen. Johnston, it is understood was prepared to
move.
Governor Letcher, we observe, issued proclama-
ton on the 15h calling into immediate service the
militia of all the counties north of the James river
and east of the Blue Ridge and all in the valley north
of the James river.
On Friday last the federal forces near Manassas
Junction made an advance of three miles towards
the Confederate lines. A battle was thought to be
near at hand.
The Sd and 4th North Carolina regiments near
Suffolk, and Col. Pryors regiment have been formed
into Brigade and placed under the command of
Gen. Pemberton.
Attack upon Fort Hatteras and Oregon Inlet.
We learn that the rumor is certainly correct that
on Wednesday last Lincoln war-steamer attacked
our battery at Hatteras and that she was calamity
repulsed Eleven shots were exchanged, none doing
our men any damage. The steamer, supposed to
be the Wabash A guns, it is thought was damaged,
as she soon abandoned the fight, and put to sea.
We also learn, that Judge Biggs brings the infor-
nation, that an attack was made last week upon our
small force, single company stationed at Oregon
Inlet about 40 miles above Hatteras and near Roam
oke Island, who were compelled to seek shelter from
the shells of the enemy. We fear our coast at that
point is much exposed.

DEAR BoB:-Bully for vacation. I'm hav-
ing the tip-toppest time you ever see. Uncle
Nathe was as glad TO see me Hs he could be.
for he's a cross old curmudgeon and makes
the boys toe the mark. | tell you. lie said
he hoped Id he good, and said shouldn't
be anything else. He whispered something
to Aunt lIetty. and looked at me, tut /
didn't seem to mind it. Hes got new horse
that is very old, and pretends he can't 90
along unless You push him with a whip. II
is all sham, for stuck a brad into a stick
and touched him with it, and he went like
smoke lie kicked his heels through the
dasher, broke the wagon and landed me and
Bill in the ditch Uncle Nathe said he
couldn't see what had got into the beast. but
CUES it was the brad, though | thought it
wasn't best to mention it.
We had flag raising here yesterday. 1t
was big fun you'd better believe. We had'ut
any flag; So | got one of Aunt Hetty's sheets,
and painted Il blue square in the corner with
her indigo bag and chaulked out some stars;
then got Uncle Nathe's pot OF red paint
that he marks his sheep with and made some
elegant stripes and the flag was done. We
took bran new cod fne of Uncle Nathes
for halyHrds, then cut down nice little ma
pie for pole, aud nailed it up on the barn
One of the npighbors went down and told
Uncle Nathe what we were doing, and he
came up from the meadow US mad us a hop.
see 10y the way he acted that he was Sc
cesher. lie took down the flag that we had
consecrated, aud couldn't stand it, SO |
made him a speech, and told him the flag he
bad pulled down was the emblem of our
right to do as we pleased, and that he'd bet
ter be careful how he triiled with the spirit
of liberty. ia better not said it, because all
of us boys had to go to bed without our sup
per that night. and Aunt uetty gave us n
great talking to about the sheet. What Il fuss
folks lnake about trifles
But we had some fine fun next day with
Uncle Nathe. He's got big white rooster
that he sets everything by. SO we caught
him and colored one of his wings blue and
the other red, and ne looked as fine as any
thing you ever saw. The hens didn't know
what to make of him, and they all seeded

he saw was his grower, who got up on the

didn't know what to think of it at first but
when he saw the fun of the thing he didn't
laugh any.
| wish you was up here. If you were We
would train round some, guess. There
plenty of berries, and lots of birds, and Uncle
Nathe has got gun and two pounds of pow

comfortable. Can't you steal away and come
up here, and make 'em think you've gone tC

A NAscENr NoBtLIrY--In the number of
DeBow's Review for July 1860, is an elabo
rate article from the pen of George Fitzhugh,
Es, author of SOCIOLOGY for the South" :"
and long a prominent advocate of disunion.
In the article designated he gives expression
60 the following aspirations
England has once tried to dispense with
nobility, and France twice, but each expert
meut was Il failure. In America we have
aristocracy Of wealth and talents and that
aristocracy is some what hereditary. The
landed aristocracy of the South, who own
slaves, approach somewhat to the English
mobility. Time must determine whether the
quasi arstocracy of the South has sufficient
power, permanence, and privilege to give
stability, durability. and good order to So
ciety. 1t is sufficiently patriotic and con-
servative in its feelings, but, we fear, wants
the powers, privileges and prerogatives that
the experience of all other contries has shown
TO be necessary.
If such was Mr. Fitzhugh's fear while the
South remained in the Union and under the
Constitution We presume his hopes have con
eiderably risen since the outbreak of the
present war, for in the same article he ayows
a preference for military government, as
being the "most perfect" known to man, and
siH puGeS IL as Il IdUiI 10 lle lGtpuOIlcdu party
that the more advanced Of its numbers were
averse to wars. Mr.. Fitzhugh's language
under this head is as follows Qt will be
seen that he finds the perfection of military
government in the fact that it allows the
least liberty" to its sul5eets):
Wars seem unnecessary and unnatural,
but cd, who is wiser thau We, has insttu-
ted them for salutary purposes, aud prompt
ed mankind to prepare for them. The mon (
rabid of the Republicans and the most ma
7ignant and mischievous of them, are c,lied
,ou-resistants, and prefer to dispense with
war altogether, as quite sUperlluous and un-
necessary. This is only one of the thousand
forms in which Republicapism wars against
nature. The most perfect system Of govern
ment is to be found in armies because in them
there is least OF liberty, aud most of order
subordinaton, and obedience. e.-NatiolaI In

TIE Roar OF a TERRIBLE BEAsr.-The fol-
lowing from the Richmond Dispatch ofSept.
10th is much in the vein of Falstaif:
gheir papers for nearly two months have
teemed with praises of McClellad, and with
hints of his admirable preparations for anoth-
er ''onward movement" Our own generals
have come out from among those treacher-
Gus "masked batter les" which are supposed to
have cost the Yankees the disaster at Bull
Run. and now stand in the open field ready
to fight on terms the equality of which cam
not be disputed; yet. with all their heraldcd
preparations for great achievements, and all
these inducements to light they crouch with
in their entrenchments, permitting us TO have
our own way outside OF them.
There can he but one explanation OF their
conduct, and that is that, they neither dare
nor are prepared to offer us battle. The soul
of the Yankee is cowed and his Generals are
afraid to trust him further outside of breast
works All that preparation can do has been
done for the defence of Washington. Artil-
ierv of the most formidable supply has been
provided; arms, ammunition, all the appIi-
ances of battle have been brought in the
most prodigal requistion. But there is enc
great trouble which cannot be overcome
their soldiers are towards, and cannot be
trusted in the open field. The doughty Me-
Clellan does not do what the unlucky Nc
Dowell did venture to do Far from march
ing twenty-five miles to attack, he is atraic
TO accept battle offered i'll the immediate
front of his Notifications

Yin they reached place where the water was
about two feet deep. where she pulled him
over backwards, soused him under and pulled
his head up again. "Drown yourself, down

TIE DAY OF Young MEN.-It is notcea-
ble that the men who now hold the reigns of
power are generally young-betweeu the
ages say, of thirty and forty. This is par
ticuarly the case on the Southern side where
there are very few old men in command aud
these, for the most part, in subordinate posi-
tons. At the North. only two or three vete-
rams manage to cling hold to the plank Of Of
flee with sufficient energy and vigor. Dix,
an instance of a reformed politician, is Just in
this situation, and may drop off at b ,llimore
into the Chesapeake any day, and will not
be missed. Several army officers are in the
same position, and have young Mcclellan,
and young Fremont, and young Banks, rank
ing above them. Our veteran Lieutenant
General Scott, has ceased to take any active
part in the war, but gives good advice to the
young Generals he has educated TO do the
work, and stands ready TO pat each of hi,
boys on the back when he comes back to the
veteran General with a fine victory. Geuer-
al Wool, another veteran officer, is n sort o
connecting link between the old school an,
the new, with the experience of the forme
and the energy of the latter; but even Ii,
organizes expeditions and sends Butler t(
lead them. Take all our Major Genera S
our Colonels and their inferior officers anC
you will find young men in the majority
young men in the ascendency, young men il
command. This is as it should be, and Will

strain and direct youthful energy and zeal
