DHFIcUIrx AT Mouspsv1LLE-AR-
REST OF srcEsstoNrsTs-on Friday night
last there was considerable excitement in
Moundsyille, growing out of some express
sions made by certain secessionists of that
place. which the Union men considered in
tolerableand not 10 be endured. For some
timepas heseceders that place, like those
of that persuasion elsewhere, have grown
holder than usual. On Friday night some
expressions were made use of which so ex-
asperated the Union men that they assem-
bled in considerable numbers armed with
bricks, and other missiles, and it was found
that they intended to make an attack upon
the houses of the prominent secessionists.
Lieut.. Britt, of company a. First Virginia
Regiment, who is stationed at MoundsvilIe
with few men, Immediately arrested some
half dozen reputed seeessionists, more
to ensure their safety than anything else,
and on Saturday morning brought them up
to this city on the steamer Iugomar. They
were taken to Camp CarliIe and confined
in the guard house, where they will await
q hearing before the proper authorities.
The fact of the matteris, as We were yes
terday informed by prominent citizen of
Moundsville, that nun cannot live peace
ably in that town and talk secession.
Our informant says that as long as seces-
sion doctrines are attempted to be promuI-
gated, just SO long there will be rows and
fights The Union men are determined
that the. thing shall be crushed out, and
they do not intend to adopt any course that
requires temporisiug.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OFF
THE GrREAY Hattie.


A correspondent of the Richmond Enguirer
relates the following incidents as having or-
CURED at the battle Of Bull Run, on the 18th:
Among the many incidents related OF the
affair, is one Of this character, and it fairly
illustrates the military spirit Of the whole
army. Connected with the seventeenth Viz
ginia regiment is little fifteen year old boy,
naBed Clarence Carey, Of Alexandria His
position in the regiment is that of "markPr,0 .
and be was supposed to be Of no more use
upon bat lie field, than a brass band in a
meeting house. The colonel accordingly or
dered him to go TO the hospital, and remain
there until the fight was over. The little fell
low had no such insignificant idea of himself,
however, and as soon as the colonePs back
was turned, off be went for his musket, and
was soon in the fight. The result of his marks
manship is said to have been one dead Yankee
and one "Winged"
Another little chap-a drummer bov from
LYnchburg-not much more than a yard high,
hurried to the field as soon after the battle as
be could, 70 get a gun and a revolver, but un-
fortunately was too late, and his only trophy
was an odd looking knife, with a buckhorn
handle. He says be examined the clothing of
a dozen or fifteen, to see il he couldn't make a

believe it possible to exist. The only produc-

the shoulder, and knocked down another who
was accompanying him with his revolver.

TRADING WITH THE ENEMY IN
LAWFUL

- \ ~
We clip the following from the Charleston
Courier:
OFFICE OF THE c. 5. DISTRICT ATTORNEY
CHARLESTON, July 20, 1861. !
NJ. z. w. MARsHALL-Sir: have recsiy-
ed your communication asking me tie follow
ing questions:
l. Is it lawful for a citizen of the COnfeder-
ate States to purchase of our enemy State
stocks or bends Of any Of the Confederate
States and demand the interest when due?
2 Is it lawfgl for the same parties to pur-
chase notes given by merchants of the South
ern C5nfeieracY to northern houses and de-
msnd payment OF the same?
3. If lawful and proper to pursue the above
course, would it not be equally legal for the
small trader to buy merchandise Of the enemy;
or, in other words, does the law intend to
operate in favor OF the fortusate holders of
capital against the humble dealers in wares
and merchandise
The acts specified by you certainly consti-
iute "trading with the enemy" peculiarly OBJ
lectionable, because they afford direct assis-
tance to the enemy by the transmission Of
money to foster bis resources. And, in addi-
tion, such conduct is highly unpatriOLic be-
cause directly injurious 10 the interests OF the
Stats and citizens of our ConfedeTacy, whose
Obligations are thus withdrawn from the enc
my's country, where it is for the interest of
such States that they should remain, since
they could not there be called upon for
payment during the war. Such opera
tions are certainly worse than the sim
pie purchase of merchandise in the enc
my's country, because they, at the same time,
aid our enemies and iniure our friends.
beg leave to refer you to A letter addressed
by me to Hessrs. Aveilhe and others, publish
ed in our papers yesterday morning, for fuller
statement Of the principles which govern this
class OF cases. Very respectfully,

SOUTHERN NEWS FROM NORTH
ERN SOURCES.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, Of the 22nd, has
just seen gentleman Of undoubted veracity"
from New Orleans, who deposeth IS follows
The most unbounded enthusiasm prevails at
New Orleans and the whole country there
sbouts. They know not the remotest idea of
being conquered, and regard the establishment
of their independence as sure of accomplish
ment. Their machine shops and founderies
are producing an abundance Of arms and can
non. Some of the finest rfed brass pieces be
has yet seen he saw at these New Orleans
works, and had no idea they could produce
su,h.
They are building several gunboats, one Of
which-the largest--was nearly finished when
he left. It is made out of the tow5oat Whit
nqy, a Baltimore built sea vessel, drawing
twelve feet, and having two propellers. The
sides Of this boat bave been cased with six
inch plate iron, and the bulwsrks guarded by
dOuble-lapped railroad iron bars Il has sew
ers water tight bulkheads, go that the pierre
ing OF one will not cause the vessel to sink.
Its Prov ia projection OF so id iron. It's pro
pelling power are two powerful engines, and
the object Of the vessel is to run down the
Brooklyn, now blockadiBg the mouth Of the
Mississippi. The French government has war
vessels Of the same kind, built as strongly az
iron and wood can make them, with powerful
engines, made to resist shot and shell, and to
sink vessels by running against them with all
the force at command. This is the way 1t is
intended to operate with this vessel. Gun
boats, constructed after the same style, but Of
lighter draught, are being built to operate as
far up as Memphis.
Four Thousand trosps had left New Orleans
a short time before our informant, for Arkan-
sas, to join Ben McCulloch's division Of the
Confederate Army. In New Orleans every
body seemed to belong to military company,
aud the companies to be constantly drilling.
AS for provisions, there is an abundance Of
them. The crops Of Texas, it is estimated,
will be sufficient of themselves to feed the
whole Confederate States for two years. Such
crops were never before known in that region.
All along the railroad, from New Orleans to
Memphis, the same enthusiasm and activity
prevails. There are large bodies Of troops
near Memphis. One thing was notlcibIe they
believed that the Confederate troops were
everywhere whipping those of the North, and
readily swallowed every Muuchausen story
about the success and prowess Of their own
men. The fabulous story about the annihila-
