A special correspondent of the New York

date Of JuAe ID gives the following gloomy
sccouus OF the desolation and ruin that prevail
in that portion Of the Old Dominion. The cor
respondent says:

The following statement is sent us by Mr.
David Bi&by, of Fredericktown Knox Go.

The lst Of May 81, l have sold 294 lbs. OF but
ter from five common native cows, Besides
supplying my own amily (of four grown per-
sons) with butter and cream, which we used
plentifully. We also fed two pigs on sour
milk, whieh we sold this Spring for $40 more
than | paid for them in the fall, and two
calves that are worth 50 each. The butter
and cream used estimate equal to 3 lbs Of
butter per week, making 90 lbs. of butter for
81 weeks; total, 359 lbs; sold at Is cents.

Alarming Condition of ouson vtotO-

1t has often been hinted that Queen Victoris
inherited from her grandfather, George III, q
predisposition to insanity. Her present con-
dition is truly deplorsb!e. The London CORES
pondent of the Levd9 Iutellissncer, alluding to
the betrothal OF ths Princess Alice to the
Prince of Hesse Darmstadt. says:
The marriage has been hurried on, believe
and " Il take place great deal sooner than
WAS first intended. Her Aajesty's very delicate
state of health is the cause for this. 1t is be-
lieved to be matter of the very first inpoy-
tance that something oho1ld be done to rouse
her from the unnatural melancholy into which
she has fallen ynce the death of her mother
Apropos TO this curious statement was made
to me in the beginning of the week namely, that
her MTjesty's state OF health was used in an
argument against turning out the Government
into the lobbies Of tho House of Commons for
a few days before the great division. 1t was
sEid that if all the anxiety and worry incidcn-
tai to change of Ministry were thrown upon
the Qlecn at the present moment, the consc-
quences might be too serious even TO speak of.
There was really a good deal of force in The
argument, and it had weight, l understand, viii

The Grand EEovomsnt WHICH is to Do-
eide the Fate of tho south.

The Richmond (Va) correspondent of the
Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser affords US an
insight into the apprehensiOns of tha rebels
and what they regard as the grand move
ment' of the army of the Union. In his let
ter of the 4th instant he says:
1.-The grand movement against Richmond
and the South will be made, it is believed, by
an enormous army Of chosen men, numbering
between thirty-fve aud fifty thousand. The
possession Of Manassas junction, where the
battle will be fought, is as indispcnsably es.
sential to the protection of the rear of the
Confederate forces at Harpers Ferry as in
arresting the penetration Of the invading
army into the interior Of the State. So upon
this hattie will hang fearful results to Vir-
gnia and the SoIth, and impressed with its
momentous and terrible import, the feeling is
that our gallant army will fight until every
tart between Manassas and Richmond shall
become soldiers sepulchres end steamS Of
blood and carnage smoke up to heaven"
What JEFF. Davis is doing TO protect so inn
portant place as Manassas junction, upon
the possession of which twill bang fearful re-
suits 10 VirginiA and the South" the same
correspondent says:
General Bonham, OF South Carolina, with
10000 men under his command, is at ManasNa
Railroad junction, in@Fairfax County, with
