dispatch from its own correspondent =
ALEXANDRIA, June l, lSGI.-The scene of the .kir-
not Arlington Mill, we were at first informed
1t is about fOnr miles out en- the road to Fairfax
courthouse.
There is nothing TO add to the details of the at
fair except that the conduct of the soldiers in ia
king possess sion was unusually fragrant. The own
er, Mr.. Cloud, trusted everything TO the colsidera-
tons Of the troops who forthwith broke open the
desk, stole all the money it contained mot large
amount) rif1zd his papers, took clothing, and at
tempted 10 rem owe part of a library. The officers
did not succeed interrupting these outrat es I'M
til much injury was done.
The women Of Mr.. Clouds family were held in
great terror by the lawessness around them, and
could hardly be convinced, after what they saw,
mat they were safe from more potent intryislons
The alarm of the household at first prevented them
from applying to the officers for prote elton, but at
ter the case understood vigorous efforts were
made to control the soldiers.
Wherever LNCoLN's troops have invaded Vir-
gnia, similar Outrages to that noted above have
marked their presence; indeed, their acts in num-
per OF instances have been even worse 1t is very
clear that large proportion of LNCD4N's army
are Of this class. 1t is this horde of Ysndals that
are thrown upon the borders of the South TO invade
ana conquer Us. In this war of barbarian upon
CIVILIZATION the South could not be otherwise than
united to repel the invaders The Southern man
who would give such enemy ountensnce. is
worse than they are and the South is go place for
him.

THE FIGHT AT FAIRFAx!
Death of Captain MARI.
PARTICULARS OF THE SKrRmIsH.
From the Richmond Enquirer, June ,.

FROM tie RIchmoad Enquirer, June b
The enemy, on Friday morning about O'Clock in
numbers about eighty strong, entered the town OF
| Fairfax Court House, under the command of Lieu>
tenant Thompkins. The company was the United
States regulars from Texas The enemy dashed
INTO the town so Unexpectedly that the Warrenton
Rifles, Capt John z. Mari, had only some ten min
| utes to prepare tor them. The enemy fired at the
quarters of the troops, killing Capt Mari instantly
and though near TO his command his death was moi
known until after nine o'clock, when his body was
found The Lnemy pushed on through the town.
The NarrentOn Rifles then formed, under Col Ewell
and Gov Smith, into two platoons and proceeded
down the road after the enemy, and taking position
on the side of the road waited the return of the
enemy. Very soon the enemy returned in disorder
when a VOlley from the rifles scattered them and
caused retreat up the road. They reformed into
"fOurs,' and came up in good order, when another
fire from the rifles again scattered them and they
returned by cross road to Alexandra.
Our troops took four horses, branded d" U. S. .
" b, and killed three horses. The ret-eating de
tachment were seen near Anandals, with fifte en-
led horses and wagon containing Wounded men.
Four prisoners were taken during the fight and
nine others are reported as having been found in
the neghbOrhOod during the next day. Saturday
Five United States soldiers were killed Several
carbines, dragon swords officers swords, double
barrel shot gun and eight dragoon reYoIyers were
picked up by our troops.
Our loss was Capt MARI skilled-A1brave and eff

most useful citizen. He a 3leInber of the
Virginia Convention, and had filled many RESPONSE
bic positions Col Ewell was sli2afly wounded in

company was also severely wounded Capt Marr's
company were badly armed, having only rifles

They nobly performed their dnty, notwithstanding
there was no officer of the company TO command
them. captain MARI was killed before the cOmpa-
ny was formed, and Lieut. Shacllelford was abb
sent.
Capt. Mari death was caused by a random shot
while selecting ground upon which to form his
company. The darkness prevented any one seeing

Lord Brougham Down on Anti.SIaVeFy
Meetings i'm England.

A noteworthy sign of the times is the uncGremO,
NOUS manner in which Lord BRoUGHAN snubs the
abolitonists who have been proposing meetings in
London, with view to give anti-savery cast to
the war in this country. In the House of Com,
mons, during debate growing out of a question to
ministers concerning the Spanish acquisition of St.
Domingo Lord BRoUGHAM said:
There were meetings being held in this country
which he entirely depreeated-meetings which
ought not to be held-meetngs at one of which six
or seven weeks ago he had himself promised to
preside; but when he found, after what had taken
place in the United States, that it was called meet
ing on American slavery, he said on no account, by
no means whatever, would he have anything to DO
with holding, presiding, attending meeting OF
that description. He strongly recommended all
whom his voice nigh reach to abstain from holding
such meetings. At the present moment 1t could
not fail to do great mischief in relations to
America if anything like agitation took place ON
question whereupon the Americans of the South,
and almost all Americans, were peculiarly sensitive
and jealous; it would be the worst possible caam-
ity, and might endanger the peace of the country
without serving the slave. but rather postponing in
definitely his liberation. Hear, hear

A FAIrHLEss WIFE AND HER PARAMoUR KILLED-At
Cone bayou, Ark, on the st. Francis river, six
miles from Walnut Bend, on the Mississippi river
lived W. II. Roberts, planter Of some wealth and
much respected for his amiable personal qualities:
he was a widower. With him was residing I. J.
Dale and wife. The former active manager
in raising some crops in which both were concern
ed. Mr.. Dale had for sometime doubted whether
improper degree of intimacy did not exist be-
tween his wife and Mr. Roberts On Wednesday
morning last something occurred that gave defin-
lite direction to his suspicious. The next morning
he left the house early 20 get the hands TO work.
but soon returned, when he found Roberts in bed
with his wife. He presented his gun at Mr.. Roberts
when his wire begged him TO spare the partner Of
her crime and to kill her. He fired both barrels
Roberts fell dead his arms, face and chest rddled
with the contents of the gun. Astray shot entered
the brain of Mrs. Dale and she. too, lay a corpse
beside her partner of guilt. When our informant
left Mr. Dale had not been arrested but stood ready
to submit to legal investigation whenever he
should be called upon. The shocking occurrence
has cast q deep gloom over the neIghborhood. Mrs.
Dale was the mother of two children. Mr.. Roberts

Gov. Foote'S Return.

Hon. II. 5. FooTE returned yesterday from East

Some designing persons are endeavoring to prOpa-
gate the idea that the misguided men, who call
themselves Union men, will be violently prevented
from voting in Nashville. No such intention has
been cherished by the friends of Southern in
dependence, and they have not the least color for
the charge, than that we and others have sug-
gested the voting of open ticket so that it might
be known where men stand. We now say that this
suggestion was not made for the purpose of doing
violence to any one voting and we do not believe
that any violence will ever be offered to any man.
who has the patriotism to acquiesce in the will
of the majority and who abstains from playing the
spy in our midst or encouraging the invasion of the
State by armed bands of LNCoLN's mercenaries.
All who acquIesce will be protected in all their
rights of person, property and liberty. But all who
continue to live in our midst after the 9Th of June
and shall act the enemies of the State the people
and the public peace, will have short shrift as we
feel authorized to say, from our knowledge of the
people. They cannot suppose that they can eneour-
age foreign mercenaries to cut the Threats of our
people, burn our dwellings, and deyastate our
fields, and then escape cOndign punishment them>
selves.
But, we repeat that no sort of violence viii be Of
fered to voters at the polls after the election if
they submit to the will of the majority. If they
consider that request to voters, to vote open
tickets, is an effort at compulsion then their idea
of candor and manliness is very different from

FIendlsh outrage by Yankee troops.

Great excitement has been produced at Old Point
by an outrage perpetrated by government soldiers
on Saturday last II appears that party of them
had gone to gentlemans house near by, and as
saulted young lady some sixteen years of age,
with the design to outrage her person. Her father,
an aged man, came to her assistance, when these
ends seized him. and threatened his life if he rails
ed an alarm; and with revolver pointed at his
head he was forced to witness the contamination
of their vilainous purpose upon the person of his
child. Gen. Butler was yesterday afternoon en-
gagged in examining into the case but the result had
not TRANSFERRED when the steamer left. Constant
complaints are being made to the officers there by
persons living in the vicinity, whose lands and
dwellings have been invaded by the government
soldiers, who steal whatever they fancy from their
houses, and carry off chickens, sheep and hogs,
wherever they can find them.
