Ed. Crescent-I have seen in one of your con-
temporaries lately, one or two communications on
the subject of " Car Manners" and assure you it
was with much pleasure that found at last some
attention paid to that crying evil of the present
day viz: the impoliteness and bad breeding OF our
sex! for am woman myself! and can speak, too,

The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th inst. has the
subjoined particulars of the battle between Gen.
GaTnett's forces and those Of Cen Mcclellan:
Our forces were attacked at camp Garnett on
Thursday last and were driven frona their position
With loss Of about forty killed and thirty wound.
ed, and leaving rartiilery and baggage behind
them. 4 detachment Of our forces was attacked
by ab0us twelve thousand Of the enemy while
throwing up Notifications on the mountain behind
the camp. Colonel Pegram was in command Of
our forces when they were attacked, and had only
some three Or four hundred men uqder him. but
with this small force he repnlsed the enemy three
tmea, killing several hundred of them and keeping
them at bay for three hours. But he was finally
compelled to retreat, and in doing so was thrown
from his horse and somewhat Injured, and then
taken prisoner. Our forces, at this point retreaed
as best they could through the woods, and are
now at Monterey, Highland county.
Col Heck, with portion ofrbis regiment, crossed
over to Gen. Garnetts camp, and the last heard
from them they were,retreatEg in the direction OF
Franklin, in PeHdleton comfy.
The enemy had some 10000 men, and all oui
force there did not amount to over G00D.
Gen. John 4. Hughes, member OF the ConFen
ton from Randolph county, was killed while en-
deavoriug to communicate with q portion of eui
forces, and give them warning Of their danger. Ht
was shot by one of our sentinels, who supposed
him to be an enemy. The loss to army, in ba G
gage munitions, etc., was not very considerable.
The gaiiantry of the men enga ged in the fight is
warmly commended. Col. Regrarl is reported to
have exhibited great sefpossession and bravery in
the terrible situation in which he was placed
Capt. Deauiel, Of Alexandria, in command Of a
piece Of artillery was killed, with several OF his
lGen.
The gallant Carter H. Irving Captain of al Buck
ingham infantry company, was killed, as we're also
several of his men.
A number of other incidents were related to us
yesterday evening by passengers from Staunton
but as they were SO very conflicting, we withhold
them from the reader. We expect to be able to
| give in day or two details which will be more re
| liable than those given above

MISSISSIPPI SoUSp, July IS 1861.
Ed. Crescent-I am aware that Gen. Twiggs is in
command of our land forces in this region, but he
does not command our naval forces. Can you tell
me who is naval commander in New Orleans and
on the Gulf? Would it not be well to do something
in the way of gunboats or launches, to be used
down the Mississippi river or on the waters of the
Gulf? OF course wish for no Information which
it might be injurious to make public, and general
assurance would be sufficient. Commodore Tatpall
has naval command Of 4he coast of Georgia and
Western Florida. That coast, with its bays and
outlets, and adjacent Islands, resembles the
coast of Mississippi than any other, and on the
safety of the latter much depends the ultimate
safety OF New Orleans. Commodore Tatnall, it is
true, is fortitying at proper places, but his chief
reliance is on gunboats. He is contracting for
them in all directions, and they being built in
large numbers. III short time Georgia can laugh
at the mara,tding Yankee scoundrels. Why can
| not oar people do the like? There are ample ma
terais in New Orleans, and hundreds Of ship
| wrights who want employment. On the coast, up
Pearl river, up St. Louis bay, at Handsboro and on
the Pascag0ula river there is security, pine and
| live oak in abundance and hundreds of rstrate
artisans willing to work for Confederate or State
| bonds and food Why don't our authorities act?
Don't let State authorities wait on the Confederate
| Government. The latter has its hands tul, while
| the former have not SO much to do. All expenses
now incurred vii! be finally paid by the Contede-
| rats Government. Then why do not Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama act at once and vigor-
| ousIy? Non action may yet lead TO fatal conse-
quences, and who will be responsible?
Would it not be well, also, for the officer at Fort
! hatehes, to examine every thing? 1t has been
charged that the Brooklyn has received from your
| city what she pleased. Would it not be well to
! place your city under martial law" It may
leisure to prepare against every thing. VIII we do
| it? Time How is gold.

Don't COMPOUND THE NAHES,-The Richmond
Examiner has the following, which will prove in
teresling at this time!
Fairfax station is often confounded with Fairfax
Courthouse. The former is situated on the Orange
and Alexandria railroad, eighteen miles from Alex
anlra and the Courthouse or county seat OF Fair
fax county is village about fourteen miles from
Alexandria, on the wagon road leading to Warren
ton. And the same may be said of Manassas Gap
and Manassas Junction. The latter place is where
our soldiers are encamped, and is about twenty
seven miles from Alexandria. The Gap is in the
valley Of Virginia, running through the Blue Ridge
mountains and about sixty miles from the Junction.
