are made up; and as to them the states

are made up; and as to them the states
stand precisely as if there were no feder-
al government over the entire people -
1t is plain, therefore that the two gov
ernments over Virginia are equal and
co-exiStent, in their respective spheres,
separate and independent OF each other
and cannot come, in conflict. there is no
superior allegiance or inferior allegiance
Each is supreme in respect to its own
proper functions.
The government Of the United States, then
in sending an army into Virginia to suppress
an Instruction against its legal authority il.
this or any other state, cannot invade the
state, because il respect to such authority,
there is no state Of Virginia. The state Of
Virginia, as body polite, is organized for
other purposes purely; and when her agents.
in whatever name they presume to act, as
sumo to exercise the prerogative of the fed
eral government, they arc simply an organi-
zed mob and not state. The soil of Vir.
GINA is the soil OF the American Union, and
it is paradox to say that the American
government can invade its own soil in any
nsedfu military operations to maintain its
own sovereignty. AS well might we say
that farmer invades his own farm by eject
ing thcrefrom his neighbors unruly cattle,
or that an individual invades himself by re-
peling the assault OF his neighbor
| But we do not say that it is not possible
for the federal government TO invade state.
| II it should usurp the constitutional prerog-
ative of the state of Virginia, and send an
army here to enforce such usurpation--aa
Virginia has done in respect to that of the
Uniun-that would be nm invasion of the
soil of Virginia, and an invasion Of and
gross insult to hor sovereignty When such
AL invasion comes, then every Vugiuian will
resist it at whatever cost.
We have seen some of the practical re-
suits Of the SO called invasion of States. Ma
ry land did not like to be- invaded and her
mobs shot down uuoifeuding American SOL
dicrs in the streets of Baltimore. Gen. But
Ter, however, invaded Maryland from An
napolis to Washington; but tho people soon
found that that kind ufinvasion did not hurt
much, and in fact it was not many days be-
fore they all liked invasion pretty we'll
Then Baltimore began to think she would
like to he invadei too So Gen. Butler ILL
vaded Baltimore, to the great satisfaction Of
all good citizens. And thus it will he where
ever the army goes, When the people learn
tho objects of its mission, their reason will
return. their loyalty will be secured, and
their love for the Union re-established, - ir-

WAR MOVEMENTS.

The Government for the last week or more
have been constantly throwing forces into
Western Virginia, across the Ohio River
Owing to the exceeding secrcsy and caution
Of their movements we have no means OF
knowing the number, but it must be over TO-
600. The movement Of tn is army appears
to be eastward. Their arrival here is looked
for every day. Notwithstanding the many
rumors to the contrary, we are assured no
Government troops have yet reached Mar
tnsburg from the direction of Chambersburg.
The Conledcrates, who had been cncamped
for some time opposite WlliamSport, we are
advised, pulled up stakes and left in hurry
on Sunday last for llarper's Ferry.

PARTICULARS OF THE AT
TACK ON THE BATTERIES.

" fohlN"IbN, tHVc j, JCOI.
By the arrival at the navy yard of the
steamer Resoutc. Lieut.. Budd commanding,
we have full particulars of the attack on the
batteries at Aqua Geek yesterday. Yester-
day morning the Frcehorn, Captain Ward,
opened fire on the ferry boat Page. lying at
the right Of the depot the second round was
fred at the depot building; the third across
the bow of the Page.
BY this time three batteries opened on the
Frccborn, supported by the gun boats Ana
costa, Resolute, and schooner tender Taylor.
As soon as the vessels had fixed their range,
they conn cnccd firing shell with marked
effect, several Of them falling into the bat
lcries In few minutes three small batter
les were completely sil"nccd. The main bat
terry nn the hill, supposed to I've armed with
ten ritlel cannon, now opened y terrible fire
upon the tiotiila. to which the Freehorn and
Anacosta replied with considerable effect.
The AnacoSta took up position and played
upon the depot with rapidly. firing thirteen
shells, three Of them taking effect and causing
much CONSERVATION among tho rebels. The
Resoute did not use her guns, owing to the
fact that their calibre was too small TO Go
effective service.
Only ono shot struck the fotilla. II was
a ricochet shot, striking the Frceborn CD the
gunwale. and passing over one Of the sail
or'S arms, doing him no injury; then striking
a gun carriage, it fell upon the deck. No
one was killed or wounded upon the Federal
side. On the Confederate side the damage
was considerable rs men were seen convey
ing tn, dead and wounded to places of safe
I,,,,
act loss On the Confederate side. At 10
minutes Of 70 o'clock the firing ceased, and
the Flotila hauled off. The Rcsolute arrived
here at noon having in tow a coal boat, to
obtain fuel for the squadron. The Pawuee
was passed last night en- route for the late
scene Of action. The ilotilla is at anchor
within five miles of Aqua Creek. 1t is be-
lieved impossible to silence the third battery
as it is Of rifed cannon, without landing a
force.
ALEXANDRIA, June LIST.
1t is reported here that Mt daybreak this
morning Company L, S. Dragons, Lieut..
Tompkins were accommodating in the neigh
borhood of Fairfax Court House, ~ miles
from Alexandria, when they were fred upon
by the Confederate troops at that place.
The dra soons charged four times through the
village, and were fired upon by the Conrede-
rates, who concealed themselves in their
houses. Lieuts. Tompk:ns and Gordon boil,
had their horses shot from under them, and
three other horses were wounded. Two men
| OF the dragons are missing, and three are
wounded. They brought to the camp of the

The special messenger that left Wash
ington on Wednesday night for Fortress
Monroe took with him the following let
ter:
WASHINGTON. May 30.
SIR-Your action in respect to the ne
groes who came within your lines from
the service of the rebels is approved. -
The Department is sensible of the en-
barras rents which must surround off =
GERS conducting military operations in a
State by the laws of which slavery is
sanctioped. The Government cannot re-
cognize the rejection by any State of the
Federal obligations, nor can it refuse
the performance of the Federal obliga-
tons resting upon itself. Among these
Federal obligations, however. none can
be more important than that of suppress
sing and dispensing armed combinations
formed for tho purpose of overthrowing
its whole constitutional authority.
While, therefore, you will permit no
interference by the persons under your
command with the relations Of persons
held to service under tho laws of any
State. you will, on the other hand, so
long as any State within which your
military operations are conducted is un-
der the control Of such armed combiua-
tons. refrain from surrendoriug to allie
ged masters any persons who may come
within your lines. You will employ
such persons in tho services to which
they may be best adapted. keeping an
account of the labor by them performed
of the value of it, and the expenses of
their maintenance. The question of
their final disposition will be reserved
for future determination.

up, and ordered them to halt. They replied
that they were Capt Powell's cavalry COM
pany. The Captain ordered to arms, when
the dragons fred voley, and killed the
captain instantly. The Confederates rushed
out in madness and disorder, and fired on the
cavalry at random. The cavalry charged,
and having fred three voleys, retreated. The
Confedsrates pursued them some distance,
and subsequently returned to camp with two
dragons, as prisoners, aud three horses.
