The reported Conflict at Hamptoa.

Tn story Of a battle at Hampton probably
grew out Of the following occurrence, which
we ind in ths Richmond Wig:
A gentleman from Hampton reached this
city Saturday, and reported that. on Thursday
last, while the citizens Of that place were eX-
ercis ng the right OF suffrage, a large force Of
Lincsln's 5arbsTisns entered the town aboRt
noon and required the commissioners to close
the pills. BY this time about three hundred
votes bad been recorded, snd other voters
were Awaiting their turn. The commissioners
retired with the poll books, but after the Van
dals had marched back to Fortress Monroe,
they returned, Feopened the polls, and recorded
sixty more votes. The result CT the vote on
the ordinance Of secession was three hundred
and sixty for rstIfying, and six against. The
~ilvsrion procused great excitement in the
county.

The CONSEQUENCES OF DEFEAT
It is Impossible 90 estimate the complicated
difficulties that would overvhslm the State Of
Tennessee in The event tbs southern ticket
should meet with defeat. Her brave volun-
tssrs nov in the field, says The Nashville
Cnioa, would be stricken nervelsss, their stout
arms paralyzed. and their loyalty to their na-
tive State be branded as treason. Our cities
would be overrun By naraudiDg and Hcsntious

i-eted to insult, and the men to infamy and
degradation. The people would sroan under
4 burden Of taxation to support the war
sgeinst their southern brethren-unparalislsa
10 our history, and most g~risvous and oppFea-
sivs to be borne.
Our trade With the South, which is cur only
trade, would be forever brokenup, our farmers
impoverished, & cir lands and slave rendered
vslueless, our mechanics shops deserted, and
the grass be made to grow in our streets
We would lose forever our own respect, and
Be the seorn Of ali mankind. These, and even
greater evils and horrors than these, which me

A REGIMENT OF SCYTHEs.-A meet
ing OF Germans was held the other dav
at Spadelberger's Hall, New York, with
view of taking measures to sustain
the Government in the present war;
In the course ofthe meeting, Mr.. Fred
erick Knapp advocated plan to Or
a'anlze regiment to be armed with
scythes. The idea is very novel one.
The organization Of such a regiment
would be completed at very short no
tice, without much cost. It was stated
by some of the speakers that a regi-
ment Of this kind would do a grea
deal Of service; that if properly di-
rected, they could cause much havoc
among the enemy. 1t would be better
adapted than any other arm now in use
to attack the enemy's cavalry with eff
feet. That such troops could be made
serviceable had been demonstrated in
the Polish revolution, and in the war
Of the peasants in Germany, when the
regular troops were often fought with
scythes. There were u good many
men here able to handle the scythe as
well as the sword. A short RESOLUTION
was passed to organize a regiment OF
this kind proposed, and committee
was then appointed for the purpose.
