VIRGINIA We have late and reliable intelli-
Reuce from Z" the Valley" and Eastern Virginia
with reference to the state OF popular sentiment
there, which strengthens our conviction that with
prudence on the part Of the Government Of the
United States when the disunion army may be
driven back on Richmond, there will be very
general and prompt organization Of the popula.
ton refusing to follow the retreatng foe, to re-
cover and to maintain by arms their former rights
n citizens Of the United States II 10 beyond all
question true, that the ughout the State
already realize the sacrifices exacted Of them In
behalf Of the conspiracy Of South Carolina and the
cotton States, whose yoke they feel 70 be CALLING
past further bearing. We hear, from a gentleman
who left the Piedmont country last week, that
Union sentiments are again finding loud and elo-
quent utterance, where three months ago IL was
worth mans life or liberty to whisper them
above his breath. The sentiment obtaining there
ts that Virginia's secession policy was monstrous
fraud, made successful for the time being by the
fear and force Of bayonets ard that It's triumph in
the State must end whenever the masses feel toll
erably sure that the United States successfully
aid them In the recovery Of their lost liberties
In the Valley the Union sentiment was never
20 strong a. at this time; yet the there being
all In the hands OF those chaned for the time
being to the car of the oligsrchy, It finds utter
ance only In bold protests against and denuncia-
tions Of the monstrous wrong, rather than In
general concentrated efforts to put the wrong
down by force.
We learn from our informant of the present
attitude Of many Individual gentlemen Of the
Valley and the Piedmont region, formerly
staunch Unionists, who however permitted
themselves to be swept into the vortex of treason
for the time being, and who now have resumed
and openly avow their former opposition to the
secession heresy. They are not molested for so
doing, simply because the oligarchIsts know that
they are too clearly representative men to venture
to stir up more general opposition by venturing
70 exercise dsspotic authority upon them.
Once drive Beauregard and Johnson, and their
followers from other States, back Of Manassas and
Loudon, Jefferson, Fairfax, Morgan, Frederick,
and Hampshire counties, IVA, y will soon be able
TO free themselves from the presence Of every man
belonging among them not disposed to resume
his rights as a citizen of the United States.

ia Judging, from the kind of timber
placed OF the head of three out of the SIX
regiments which have been authorized by
the Preside15 from this State, we cannot
predict much conassort or glory for the men
who enlist in the re.2ks. Many of the Of
ficers are quite efficient in packing and con-
trolling crossroads Conventions, but are as
great strangers to military knowledge as
they are to common modesty. If the gov
eminent cannot find officers with other
qualifications than efficiency as county
politicians, it had better not muster men
into the service at all.

Last Nights Dispatches.

81. LOUIS. June Iy-The TtepuBIlcan
gives further particulars Of the battle at
Boonville. The Federal troops landed i've
miles below BoonvilIe and about one mile
below the encampment Of the State forces.
The latter had a battery near Boonville
pointed towards the river, but it was cir
cumvented by the Federas, and proved use
less Gen. Lyon Immediately advanced on
the State troops, aud was in line, when
the firing commenced. The balance of the
description of the fight was substantially
the same as reported last night. Jackson
was about mile off, surrounded by Capt.
Kelly company as a body guard. 1t is re-
ported that he was severely reprimanded
during the engagement, by the men of his
own party, for cowardice and lack of Giscis-
ion Col Parsons was not in the fight
having previously been reported sick
Boonville is not injured, no shots having
been fred into it, Gen. Prices absence is
thus accounted for. On Sunday morning
the pickets brought reports that seven
steamboats, were coming up the river with
Federal troops A consultation was immedi-
ately held between the Governor and Gen.
Price. The Governor ordered the State
troops to disband, not being able to sustain
themselves against such force. Price then
went home. The troops, however, deter
mined to have a fight. Col. Marmaduke
then became disaffected and resigned. A
few hours later, the reports about the steam
boats proved untrue, and the Governor or
dered the troops to prepare for resistance,
appointing MIR. Little to command. There
are no reliable accounts as to the num-
Der killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. 1t
is stated that Gen. Lyon once had the State
troops in position where he could have kill
ed them in large numbers, but he ordered
the firing to cease, and proceeded to make
prisoners. 1t is said the State troops are
gathering in the counties West of here, and
another stand will be made in Jackson
county.

WAsHTEGToNyJune H. Reliable accounts
received from Poolsyille, dated al 9 o'clock,
says that Col. Stone IS stilI there, and not
at Leesbnrgh, as reported.
Yesterday afternoon the enemy attempts
ed to make a crossing OF Goose Greek in a
ferry boat, opposite Edwards Ferry, with a
force estimated at from SEQ to 1900 men.
Col Stone had given orders that if any at
tempt was made to move the boat, To fire
upon it. In compliance with these orders,
Lieut.. Hasbrook fired q spherical case shot,
W hich covered the boat with shower of
bullets, and fragments. The boat was rap
idly drawn back to shore The enemy then
formed in line along the bank and COM
menced firing, bnt a few well directed
spherical case shots dispersed them and sent
them flying towards Leeshurgh. 1t is untrue
that the masked battery at Vienna had been
taken. Also the report that the Federal
troops had taken quiet possession of Fairfax
Court House.
There is official authority for both these
denials.

Just received the following dispatch from
Jefferson City. Mr. Gordon, of st. Louis
and other gentlemen som above, give the
following account of the battle at Boon
vile: Gen Lyon landed .loa4c miles below
BoonvilIe, aud opened a heavy .cannonade
against the rebels, who retreated Gad dis
persed into an ads AGENT wood, from where,
hidden behind bushes and trees, they open
ed q brisk fire on our troops.
Gen. Lyon then ordered hasty retreat
to boats, and the rebels, encouraged b., this
into a wheat field Gen. Lyon now halted
and faced his troops about, and bringing the
whole of his artillery to bear, opened a
murderous fire on the rebels three hundred
of whom were killed the balance fed in
all directions, leaving their arR1s on the
field.
General Lyon then moved forward Atsd
took possession Of Boonville.
General Price was taken with violent
diarrh9a at the beginning OF the battle,
and was taken on the steamer and carried
to his home in Charaton.
Gov. Jackson viewed the battle from a
distant hill, and fed for parts unknown,
after the defeat of his forces.
