The skirm .h at PhiIIIppI, Va.

We learn through passengers who arrived

day, that on the night of the 81 inst. the
Lincoln forces to- the number of three thou
sand, marched iron Grafton to Phllippi. in
Barbour county, where portion of the VIr-
GINA troops, under the command of Col.
POrter6eld were stationed. Our troops were
compelled TO retreat towards Beverley, in
Randolph. This they did in good order.
The enemy pursued them for few miles.
when our troops turned upon and repulsed
them. Col Kelley, of the abolition forces,
was killed. We are not inf, rmed OF the loss
otherwise. Col. Kelley, we learn, was
Yankee by birth. He married in Wheeling,
and after residing there for some time. aud
failing in business, removed to Philadelphia,
where he has since resided. When Lincoln
attempted to raise regiment of abOltiOnsts
ia Virginia by recruiting OhiOans and Penn

of the Cincinnati papers are, as We predicted
yesterday, substantially false.
P S-Since writing the above, we learn
that our troops got decidedly the better OF
the battle near Phlllippi. They killed some
sixty or seventy oil the invaders, and wourd-
ed several others. We are sorry to learn.
however, that several of cur gallant soldiers
fell in the conflict. Among those killed on
our side, were Capt. Richardson, of Bath
county, and Lieut.. Danger field, also of the
Valley, and Mr.. Simms, former mail agent on
the Danville Railroad. We did not learn the
names of the other soldiers killed on our
side. Our ,lders repulsed the enemy three
times, and after the third repulse the enemy
fell back on Phlllipp.

AN Ex-TEACHER OF THE HUME HIGH
ScHooL.-A gentl man of this city showed Us
Yesterday, letter which Re had just received
from Mr.. G. A. WOODBRIDGE, recently Il
teacher in the Hume High School. We
are permitted to make the following extract :
..LoCKPoRT, June 5, 1861
ssThe moment 1 crossed the OHIO differ
eut scene presented itself to me, from that to
which my eyes had already become aceus-
toned, and indeed all through the North
there is but one sentiment in regard to this
subject A minister told me few days
since that "he would go into this war with
the same feeling that he would 60 the COM
munion table" He is considered very
moderate man. You have no idea of
the fate that awaits Tennessee and every rebel
lious State unless they become loyal. Within
ten DAYS time so. 900 will march through the
State from Memphis to Knoxville, rallying to
their standard tens of thousands who can
not now give utterance to their feelings
l hate to think OF the fate that is awaiting my
best friends in Tennessee, which they could
avert, if they wOnld."
Mr. WOODBRIDGE had better retain his SYM
pathies for those who will need them-hls
Northern brethren. The people of Nashville
don't want them. We have no doubt the
minister be speaks ofwill go into the war with
the same feeling he goes Ito the communion
table''-the feeling of a cowardly knave and
hypOcrite. We have heard before of the in
4 -, fboncanH
they reach Memphis it will BE- early enough
for US to begin to prepare for them. Instead
of rallying tens of thousands to their stand
ard, they will encounter the united 'sts OF
Tennessee, now ready and anxious to strike
blow in defence Of their liberties, and, Nj.
WOODBRIDGE, you may rest assured that but
few of the in, adcrs will be left to tell the
tale of their folly.
We presume. Mr.. WOODBRIDGE, from the
tone of your letter, you think the people OF
Tennessee large portion OF them, at
least-"canEot now give utterance TO their
feelings''-and are cravenly permitting their
right to sprak to be taken from them. Your
opinion is a libel upon them; and it is, prOba-
bly,, well for you that you express il at con-
yeDi-ni distance from the State. 1t is evil
dent that your change of res dence has rid
Nashville of one enemy to her peace and
prosperity. Thank God, We have thrown off
the Yankee government, aud the time is at
hand when We shall get entirely rid of Yam
kee impostnres, whether they come in the
shspe of calch-penny school books, pharisai-
cal preachers. or insolent teachers. To get
rid OF these curses were worth revolution,
if the South had no other cause.
Now, Mr.. WOODBRIDGE, one word more
You came to Nashville, Der citizens treated
you kindly, and you prospered beyond your
merits. You have gone away, and do Ten
nesseans the injustice to think they would
rally to the standard of the Washington usur-
patton and war upon their friends and neigh
bors. They cannot brook such an insult. Be
sure, now you are safe on Northern soil, to
remain there. Don't waddle down this way

Late and Interesting from the Indian

We had the pleasure yesterday of an in

and Chickasaw Indians under Captain Nc

The Dead-shOt r ingers under Capt. NJ ay berry.
Mr.. Peel also Informs US that the Chcka-
saws held a council on the 24ih oil May, and
formally dissolved their connection with the
manif sto to the CbOctaws, Creeks CherOkees

ly Indians are all in favor of it. They had

was preacher, aud hung them. The forts
were all TO he garrisoued 10 twenty days, in
accordance with treaty made with the Re-
serve Indians.
Mr.. Peel further states, in illustration of
the spirit of the Texas troops, that within
forty eight hours after the news came across
the Texas border that the Kansas bandit
Montgomery was coming down. there were
10000 men under arms who started immedi-
ately to meet him. He says that instead Of
there being any Abolitionists in Northern
Texas, the people are unanimous for fighting,
and all classes, including preachers, were
eager lor the fray.-N. o. Crescent, 7th.

bly, the BEST ALE manufactured either in this
