The "RED-LEGG-D DEvILs."-Acorrespon
dent of the New York Herald, who had been
to Fortress Monroe, and mingled with the
New York troops, says while in conversation
with one of the officers of Col. DURYEE's re-
giment of Zouayes, he was told that they
'.were to start the rext day for Yorktown,
thence to Norfolk, and from thence direct to
Richmond" He says the officer also said
''The secessionists aver that they are not
afraid of the Troy, Albany, Col Aliens, or
theVermont regiments, but they would rather
keep clear of the red legged DEVILS as they
call Duryee's Zouave regiment" This same
officer remarked. that one day he took about
two hundred and fifty of his regiment TO cap
ture a party of secessionists numbering over
nine hundred men and armed with cannon.
Upon approaching them. they (the secession
ists) retreated in great haste.
These Yankees go ahead of the Mexicans
in braggadocio and downright lying. We
presume the fight at Bethel Church has salts
fed them that the Southern soldiers neither
dread the ''red legg'd DEVILS" the Dutch,
nor any thing else, in human shape; and that
they cannot be beaten even by superior
force. They will learn something more OF
Southern courage and endurance before they
stay many days longer in Virginia.

A VIRGINIA LADY.-An incident like the
following, furnished by correspondent of
the Stanton Spectator, is truly worthy of re-
cord:
As the Augusta, Rockbridge aud Rocking
ham troops marched down the valley to Har-
per's Ferry, Mrs. Heter, widow lady resi-
ding near the village of Mddletown, in Fred
erick county, but at considerable distance
from the road, gave evidence of her kindness
of heart and sympathy for our weary men.
She had a table carried to the roadside. and
with her own hands, assisted her servants,
carried out quantity of milk, bread, pies
and other comforts. and for two days fed from
one to two hundred. At parting with them
she said: my only son, seventeen years OF
age. has gone in a company from our neigh
borhood. If, in defence of your country, any
of you should sicken or be wounded, and can
get to my house, will do all L can to minis
ter to your comfort"

WASHINGTON. Wednesday. Jun

w
Washington is now a place of secondary
importance. The scenes here shifted to other
points, and we are allowed breathing SPELL
The talk is of the battle of Bethel Both
Generals Butler and Pierce come in for a
share of condemnation the latter for not
showing any of the qualities of trde SOL
der, and the former because he did not pos
sess himself of information of the strength
and position of the Confederates before send
ing his men out to meet them and also he
is blamed for not leading them himself. The
matter will be thoroughly Investigated.
The New York Tribune of to-day advises
that both of them be sent home to practice
their regular professions in the Courts of
Massachusetts.
The only military movement here to-day
was the departure of a District Regiment
from Rockville, about twelve miles up the
Potomac. 1t is believed that they will cross
over toward Manassas.
Thirty thousand soldiers are now approach
ing Harper's Ferry. The Confederates now
say that they have eighteen thousand at that
point and that they can, by the advantages
of the position, hold it against ten times
that number. We will see.
General Winthrop, who was reported mis-
sing after the Bethel fight, is member of
General Buffers staff, fighting on his own
hook.

"Union" was gotten out of the dock, aud
was shipped to Fortress Monroe. Let Sew

From New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, June 14.-Texas advices
say Cortinas was attacked, about nine miles
from Pedmond's Ranchero, by force under
Capt. Benavides, and completely routed, kill
ing of his men and wounding several Cor
tinas escap, d with about 10 men into Mexico.
1t is understood that revolution is inaugu-
rated in Tamaulipas. Guerrero, the defeated
candidate for Governor, issued pronuncia-
mento removing the question as to who
should be Governor, from the ballot box to
the sword. The impression was, that the
revolution would become general, and Guer-
zero would unite his forces with those of
Marquee and Mojca, who have been setting
the Juarez Government at defiance.
