tho oWher vi tne carriage which Harris
and McCraw sent to recover the BODY of
Cal. Cameron, returned late this evening.
He was compelled before released to take
an oath not to reveal anything relative to
the force or defense of the rebels or what
ne saw there. He is consequently chary
IN his communications.
lie states that the party were allowed
10 pass up to Manassas, where upon pre-
senting themselves to Gen. Beauregard
they were arrested and placed in confine-
ment for several days. In the meont;me
Messrs. Harris and McGraw were sent 70
hmond as prisoners.
Burch finally, through the Intervention
OF personal acquaintance at the junction
was examined, dismissed and allowed to
return.
He learned that Mr.. Harris would.
PROBABLY through the influence of promi-
nent personal friends, obtain his release.
but there is no probability of the immo.
diate release of McGraw, who is Penn
sylvanian. Both were believed here to be
very deeply imbued with rebel sympathy.
Burch was not permitted to examine
the battle field.
1t is supposed that Col. Cameron's
body lies unburied on the field, or has
been huddled into a trench with the bod.
les that have been buried.
A reconnaissance was made last night
by large force of cavalry and infantry
in the direction of Fairfax.
Mr.. B. says the hospitals are crowded
with wounded. He reports that the wound
ed are well cared for, that the rebel chiefs
had determined not to agree to any ex-
change Of prisoners.
Burch's carriage driver states that he
heard that Coils. Wilcox and Corcoran
have both been sent to Richmond. He
also states that when he left the Junction.
early this morning, Gen. Beauregard was
making preparations to re-capture Alex
andria tom" rrow or next day.
FoRrREss MONROE, July 2s.-Tbe
Odd Fellows Hall, Jail, and four other
buildings in Hampton were yesterday
burned by our troops, in apprehension of
an immediate attack by the secessionists.
Our troops were entirely withdrawn last
night. Max Weber now occupies Col.
Duryea's former quarters.
Part of Hampton Bridge has been des-
troyed to prevent communication with
this side Of the creek.
1t is reported that the steamer Prince
Of Wales arrived at New Madrid on Sat-
urday with load of horses.
The place is not yet occupied by the
rebels.
A flag Of truce cume into Newport
News this morning with a proposition
giving our troops "a hours to leave. In
case the place is not evacuated they will
force us out.
The gun at Dale, 90 guns at once
went up from Old Point. The Al5otrass
and Penguin are also stationed there,
while the Minnesota and seven gun boats
at Old Point are ready to assist should
Newport News be attacked.
Col. Phelps says he can hold the place
against twice his own force which now
consists of four effective regiments.
Our entertainments are of formidable
character.
The rebels have to-. day been practicing
from battery at Willoughby Point some
five miles below Sewall's Point, and just
below the Rip Raps. Heavy firing is
now going on at Big Point.

of the case, and although no official report has

Death Of an Editor.

1t is with feelings of no ordinary sorrow that
VIC announce the death of one of our best and
most Intimate frends-HENRY V. YATES, late
editor of the Fentonville Dispatch. This sad
aud unlocked for event occurred on Sunday eve-
ming last, at his Hotel in Fentonville, after an ILL.,
ness OF one week. His disease was inflammation
of the langs.
Five years intimate acquaintance with our
friend but increased our favorable impressions as
to his nobleness of character, his happy and kind.
~ disposition and the genial and scholarly tone
OF his WE'LL cultivated mind. He was an elegant
and forcible writer, pleasant and genial COM
panion and an estimabe citizen. The COM
munity in which he had embarked his fortunes
sincerely mourn his untimely DEATH
The deceased had not, We believe a relative
in Michigan. His parents resided in western
New York. He came to Michigan in 1855 and
spent year at the University at Ann Arbor,
He went to Fentonvie to take charge of a Pub
lie School in that village, in which capacity he
acted year or two with general acceptance,
when hepurehased material and started the Dis.
patch, which he continued to conduct with aoili.

A DOUBLE MURDER.-The citizens of Vcks.
bulgh were thrown into high state of excite
ment on Thursday last by the discovery of the
bodies of two infants. They were found in the
privy of a dwelling opposite Williams mill, which
dwelling had been unOccuped dring the winter.
On Thursday family moved into the house
hence tho discovery of the bodies. The child
rem were evidently twins, and as appeared upon
examination, had been murdered Immediately
after their birth.
A coroner's jury was summoned by Justice
Caswel on Friday afternoon, and the bodies con-
veyed TO his Office where the inquest was held.
Tie bodies were enveloped in cloth that was
evidently piece of az, old dress. On removing
this a string was found tight around the neck OF
one of the children; over the head of the
other was drawn black cloth, which was tied
around the neck. On removing this, bandage
of six or eight thicknesses of cloth was bound
closely over the mouth and nose.
The testimony elected before the jury on Fri
day, gives pretty sure clue to the mother OF
the children and also to the woman who was with
her at the time of the birth of the children, and
who must have been equally, at least. implicated
with the mother in their death. The Prosecuss
ting Attorney, Mr.. Farrand, being present, i'm
meGately caused a warrant to be issued tor the
| arrest OF the mother, who was found H. Port
Huron, arrested, and taken before the coroner's
jury on Saturday morning. Huron Press.

Plain Talk In the Missouri Convention.

In the Missouri State Convention, on the l4th
inst, Judge Orr, delegate from Greene county,
expressed some plain truth ia very plain lau-
guase. Speaking of the plot Of the secessionis,-,
he said:
Notwithstanding NAV be called black Re-
publican, | believe that iDs'itutiott Of Siareru
has set this country tack fifty years. 1t Is vel.
enough in the South, but in the North. when
they lack labor, they invent the labor saving
machines. In their vocation, both get along well
enough, but the agitation that this institution
produces is curse to both sections. IL ronld
be the height Of folly for Missouri to seeede
Where one negro escapes TO Illinois, a dozen
would escape, and instead of recovering half OF
them, would recover none"
The Judge ridiculed the pretensions of the
Commissioners who now represent the seceedng
States at Washington, denounced the threat that
Northern creditors shall have 10 pay from the
South as "a left handed way of legaiizing rob.
berry," and added:
Il never expect to 90 out Of the Union, and
will live in Missouri, too. | tell you that | am
going to stay where am. | am going 10 stay
in the Union. | am neither going South or North.
But am told, You are going North No, sir,
am not going to trOt with Missouri over to them.
Veil, then, | am a coercionist. Let me illustrate
by an incident ia my own history. l once had
two sons who took Il notion to run away from
me, and petty soon one of them came back.
What did do then? Instead of shedding blood,
shed tears and the next morning put him on
a horse, and gave him another horse alongside,
and sum of money, and told him 10 20 and
bring back his brother They returned, aud
never thought Of punishment. That's exactly
the way | would treat our Southern brethren.
IL was said by the gentlemen from
Cole (Mr. Knott that he would very much re-
greet TO stain his hands with his brothers blood.
80 would |. But don't want my brother to
stain his hands with my blood-and it may be
necessary, possibly, to stain our hands with our
brothers blood TO save our wives and daughtuls"
