FAIRFAX, g. H., June j.
AT an early hour this morning our vii
loee thrown into great excitement by the
arrival of Federal troops, the firing Of
guns, and the yells of the enemy.
Being an invalid, and consequently
not an eye witness to the scene, can
only give you such facts as we're repeated
to me 10y others.
Unexpectedly n company Of regular
/ Cavalry, we'll armed and mounted, and
| headed by traitor, dashed through the
! principal streets, yelling like madmen,
and firing their pistols right and left as
they sped along. Captain Mari, Of the
| Warvcnton Rifles, whose company was
stationed in meadow in rear of the
! town, on hearing tho firing, ran out 10
ascertain tho cause, when he was shot
/ down and killed. This fact threw the
Rifles into temporary confusion, the first
Lieutenant being absent; in the mean
time, the United States Cavalry again
charged through the town, firing and
yelling. EX-Gov. Smith, who was tempo
rarily here, hastened over to the camp
OF the Rifles, and ralving them, was
proceeding to meet the enemy, when
Col. Yuellappearcd and took command.
Tho Cavalry, in the meantime, came
| dashing through the town for the third
time, when wcll-digectod volley cmpti-
cd q number of saddles, and caused tho
hireling soldiers to beat n hasty retreat.
| Our men closed upon tho Hessians .as
speedily as possible, and besides killing
| five of them, and capturing six or eight
fine horses, took eight or ten prisoners,
three or whom were carried 10 Manassas
Junction for safe keeping.
A friend, who heard tho fireing, and
saw the retreat OF the valiant cavalry,
says there were not less than fifteen or
| twenty five horses scampering over tho
fields, minus their riders; and another
informs me that he has seen fire dead Jod-
ies OF cavalry men.
In the skirmish which took place, our
only loss was that of Capt. Mari, than
whom more brave soldier, or gallant
gcnteman, ever lived ordiod; and he was
no doubtkilled by an accidental shot
Another OF our men was slightly wound-
cd. Let us be thankful that the God of
Battles is with us, and relying upon His
providence, aul tho justness of our
| cause am sure we shall eventually tri-
umph over our onomies, |'s

chants in this city, from which We make
the following extract:
"As soon as tho steamers are able to
run between this port and Europe, we
will import direct: and as we have every
facility for direct importation, having
bought largely in London the past ten
years, and having agents in Paris and
Germany, wo think we shall be able to
mako arrangements to import for the
Southern trade at low rates. f.
The North hayigg made war upon rs,
prevents forever, any chance OF recon-
struction. In the hope that it may never
take place, Southern merchants must i'm
port direct, to avoid paying duties twice.
When we call to mind that the South
has @l3O,OpO,O00 surplus products for eX-
port--the bulk ofwhich the foreign world
wants and must have, surely every branch

ment at Washington, says the New Or
leans Picyuae, is certainly a most sagac-
Gus one. They stop shipments OF bread
stuls and provisions to us at the begin
ming Of a most bountiful harvest in the
richest agricultural country in the world,
three times larger than all Franco, when,
indeed, we usually begin to send flour in
large quantities to tho North. They cut
of our coal in the middle of summer,
when our greatest difficulty is to keep
cool. They are mastering their hosts to
sweep over us, so soon as they get ready,
say about August or September, when
only the acclmati2ed can live, in large
numbers, safely in the South; and they
have ordered fleet down here TO block
ade our ports, just as the season Of fever
opens all along the Gulf coast. Sagacious

We would suggest to all citizens the
prudence Of giving rs little currency as

The exciting events of the day are con-
staully ongcndcring. Unless there is

What is our Condition.


Many Of our fellow-citizens in the ooun-
ties Of Middle and East Tennessee have
lately asked us what has been done to
prepare our State for defence?
We state, from the highest authority.
that every thing has been done that could
be. for this object.
There is now established on the Missis-
sippi river, five or six batteries, of heavy
guns, including mortars, columbiads, and
thirty-two and twenty-iourpoundcrs, COM
monding tte river from Memphis to the
Kentucky line. These batteries are COM
named by Col. j. p. McCown, formerly
of the United States Artillery, now Col. OF
a corps OF ten companies OF Tenncsso Ar
tillory.
FIELD DEFENCEs.
In addition to this, various field defen.
ces have been established in West and
Middle Tennesse, at tho proper points
under the direction Of experienced Off
rppg.

Fi.ht om FederaIHiII.

We have received the Baltimore Clipper
of the morning of April l9lh-the day of
the fight. 1t contains interesting details
of the troubled night that preceded the day
ofviolence and bloodshed. A big Secession
meeting was held in the evening, at which
speeches were made urging immediate or
ganizatiop and armed resistance to the pas
sage of Northern troops AT the close of
the meeting an adjournment was had 10 the
headquarters ofth Minute Mon Union)
and attempt was made to haul down the
Stars and Stripes. The attempt was frus-
trated. Secession badges we're displayed
and caused frequent fights between Union
men and Secessionists. At one o'clock in
the afternoon one hundred Secessionists
planted a Secession flag on Federal Hill and
saluted it with cannon. Five hundred
Minute Men attacked them, destroyed the
flag and threw the cannon into the dock.
During the night armed bodies of men
of both parties were in the streets and
there were frequent threats of collision.
Gov. Hicks issued proclamation counsel
ing peace and promising that no Maryland
troops should be sent out of the State, ex-
cept to defond Washington.
