Correspondence of the Wing.


To the Editor Of the WIG:
| have noticed a communication in the Wing from
Colonel A. Staples of Patrick county, Va, complaining
of rj ustce to Patrick, Henry and Franklin, by report
ing those counties delinquent in the way OF volunteers,
and surprised the failure of the Colonel to speak
of company in the southeastern part Of his coun-
ty then nearly made up and since organized. Two of
its members Captain John f. Penn and Lieut. j. G..
Penn are now in Richmond for the purpose of undergo
ing military drill while the necessary outfit is being
made.
1t ia worthy of note that there ten Penns in this
company. second lieutenant and three prvates are
grandsons and the captain first lieutenant orderly SER
geant and four privates great grandscns of Colonel
Abram Penn who rendered efficient service in the Rev
dictionary war-frst as captain Of volunteer company
and afterwards colonel
Colonel Penn was raised by his uncle John Penn,
distinguished lawyer of his day and Of the gnes of
the Declaration Of Independence.
When duty called Colonel Penn left his home in tie
then Western wlds to aid in the glorious struggle fer
American freedom, and his descendants leave tie
same homestead and neighborhood to assist in estab
fishing our second independence, aud will doubtless
show themselves worthy of such a noble ancestry.
Should an opportunity present ITSELF predict the
whole company will give ample evidence of the fact
that they are not the men TO fly from either real I'M
aginary danger. +.

The N. Y Evening Post heads its account Of the affair
at Fairfax Court House as follows "7hs Rebels attacked
at Fdirfar c. H. Gallant Charge Of Lieutenant Temp
kins-Fsderdi Loss one killed and too wounded-Rebe
Loss, Thirty killed aud five prisoners" The Post then
gives the number of the .Rebels" fifteen hundred.
Without doubt if the "Federals" could fight as they
lie we should be an awfuy usedup people, in little less
than no time.
The paper heads its account Of the cannonadng
at AQUA Creek as follows Rebel batterits silencsd-
Dead bodies carried Away by The Rebels.
The paper informs us that the assertions from
Harper's Ferry amount to twenty-five daily.
1t also publishes statement to the effect that the
morning after the last engagement at Sewes Point "he
fragments Of human remains were scattered about,
and it admitted that nine had been killed and a
large number wounded"
Another interesting budget of news appears in the
Post under the following heads: Flight Of Southerners
-Beauregdrd at Menphis-7hs Southern Crops Dsvds-
tated6y the Army Worm.
Other articles bear such heads these: The Rebels
flying in all drectiOns-RepOrted evacuation Of Har-

THE SOUTHERN CLIMATE AND YANKEE SOL
DIERS

In his work on military surgery, inst published, DR..
Gross says-"The number of sick that may be expected
to be costanty OH hand during any given campaign is
estimated on average at ten per cent but this pro-
portion must be necessarily exceeded, especially in an
invading army, with raw, undisciplined and unaccima-
I'd troops This was eminenty in the Crmea,
in climate comparatively healthy within few miles OF
the sea- We may well imagine what would be the effects
Of the climate of the South upon the northern troops,
they were to pass far during the hot season, beyond
Mason and d xons line. Disease, in its wors. form,
would beg sure to invade and thin their ranks at every
sep Fever-typhoid, typhus, remitten and intermit-
tent and yelow-dysentery, diarrhoe scurvy pneumonia
aud inf .mation OF the liver would accomplish more, n-
fnely more for the southern than all the wea-
pons of war that could be placed in the hands of the
Southern people Typhoid typus and yellow fever, dysen
tery diarrhoe and scurvy would, in all human proha.
billy, soon become epidemic, and occasion mortality
truly appalling The southern soldier the contrary,
thoroughly acclmated as he is, would suffer compare
lively little"

The New Orleans Bee, speaking of the operations Of

" 4 number of prominent citizens own stock in
these lucky prvateers and they have known be

been more than doubled in a week. aud will probably

vast encouragement 10 many capitalists who have not

The GenoreI Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church Told SchoOl.)

This large and irauenal denomination Of Christians,
which has hitherto stood like intuition OF rocks
against the anatcsm Of the day, is now rent asunder
BY Northern ultraism. They have not taken any new
ground upon the subject of slavery at their last meeting
IN PHILADELPHIA; but in calling upon the whole church to
uphold d" the Federal Government have proclaimed a
purpose to lend their whole lence TO tyrsnnical dSs
potism and have thereby suudcrcd forever the unity OF
the church It is not perhaps very strange fact that
in common with so many others at the North the Pres
bvteliins of that section have idea of any Cor
err,sssssi, except the Administration of Lincoln.
Such thing unfolding the Supreme Court, which the
Black Republican party has long threatened to rsorgan
i-stlat Il to sAy-renier Subservent to their pupo-
ses - this seems never have entered their minds.
and yet what is the Supreme Court but part of the
Government? The suspension Of the "Ilabeas Corpus

able Chief Justice of the a United States has struck
