Special Correspondence Of the National Republican
FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
FORTRESS MONROE, July l9,


We are more and more impressed, every day
and night, with the absolute necessity OF more
cavalry and large artillery for the successful
| Virginia In connection with this point is the
movement Of our troops and munitions of wal
| by means of the seashore aud rivers. The ex
perience of our armies in Mexico illustrates the
| argument with great force. The uavigable
waters Of Virginia are its most sssailable quar-
ters. All the batteries that have been, or can
be erected, will or can avail anything against
such ship force as we ore able 10 bring 10
bear. Whereas on the land, in this section oi
the State, where SO many Virginians are mounted
and drilled as cavalry, the Union troops are
always at great odds. The secession troopers fly
in and out of their woods, and bushes, and
swamps, hidden by the darkness Of night, to
prey on our. scouts, and cut off the inexpe.
renced footmen. Horsemen must be met with
horsemen artillery with artillery ships with
ships. More of these are indispensable at this
moment We must have them.
A circumstance which occurred at late
hour last night, illustrates in striking manner
the power Of these arguments. A scouting
party, consisting of six men. Messrs. johnson,
Small, Halliday, and Jenkins, and Shurtlef, Of
the Naval Brigade, at Hampton, in company
and one other-went out beyond Hampton, to.
ward Great Bethel. They had stopped in a
barn to rest, and were on their return, when
assailed by troop Of Virginia cavalry. Capt.
jenkins was wounded, and taken prisoner BY
the enemy. Mr.. Shurtleff was seen to fall and has
not been found. Small was taken prisoner. Dr.
Rawlins was killed on the spot. 1t is reported
that two of the Virginisns were seen to fall.
On my next visit to Hampton, will obtain
all the additional authentic particulars, and re
port. Give US more cavalry, without delay.
The health of this command continues good
Divine service is to be held in the Baptist
church, in Hampton, next Sabbath afternoon

deeds of cruelty or dishonor. Let them re.
member that, without the sanction Of heaven,
and without the respect aud sympathy of the
civilized world, success would be achieved in
vain. Let them still battle maufully and nobly,
and re.estsblish the authority Of the Republic
over all its domain, in such manner as to con.
vince the people Of every State that exalted
patriotism, and not an ambitious, nor mer.
cenary, or proscriptive spirit, has inspired them
to the great achievement.
Whatever may be said respecting the alleged
fanaticism Of the army Of Oliver Cromwell, we
would have our officers and men to emulate
the discipline of his army as depicted by the
accomplished historian, Macaulay, in the fol.
lowing opposite passage: r.. .... ..
"Other leaders have maintained order rs
strict. Other leaders have inspired their fol.
lowers with zeal as ardent. But in his camp
alone the most rigid discipline was found in
company with the fercest enthusiasm. His
troops moved to victory with the precision Of
machines, while burning with the widest fanati.
cism Of Crusaders. From the time when the
army was remodelled to the time when it was
disbanded, it never found, either in the British
islands or on the continent, an enemy who
could stand its onset. In England, Scotland,
Ireland, Flanders, the Puritan warriors, often
surrounded by difficulties, sometimes contend.
ing against three.fold odds, not only never
failed to conquer, but never failed to destroy
and break in pieces whatever force. was op.
posed to them. They at length came to regard
the day of battle as day Of certain triumph,
and marched against the most renowned bat
tslions of Europe with disdsinful confidence.
Turenne was startled by the shout Of stern ex.
ultation with which his English allies advanced
to the combat, and expressed the delight Of a
true soldier, when he learned that it was ever
the fashion of Cromwell's pikemen 10 rejoice
greatly when they beheld the enemy and the
banished cavaliers felt an emotion Of national
pride, when they saw brigade Of their coun.
trymen, outnumbered by foes and abandoned
by allies, drive before it in headlong rout the
finest infantry Of Spain, and force passage
into counterscarp, which had just been pro.
nounced impregnable by the ablest Of the mar.
shals of France.
But that which chiefly distinguished the
army of Cromwell from other armies was the
austere morality and the fear Of God which
pervaded all ranks. II is acknowledged by the
most Jealous roayalists that, in that singular
camp, no oath was heard, no drunkenness or
gambling was seen, and that, during the long
dominion of the soldiery, the property of the
peacesble citizen and the honor Of woman were
held sacred"

THE BATTLE AND THE ARMIES.

Our columns narrate the incidents of o bat.
tie more remarkable than any other Of which
modern history affords an example; battle
iu which by far the smaller army has assailed
the larger upon the ground chosen by the latter
for its natural advantages, and TO which every
art of the engineer had been applied to render
il impregnable battle also in which the as.
sailants have exhibited spirit of intrepidity
and endurance worthy the noble and honorable
spirit that animates them, and characterized
by the heroism of veterans rather than the un.
certain impulse of an untried soldiery. What
ever may he the comments of the hasty chron.
icler of the present hour in relation to an
unsuccessful struggle, the judgment we here
pronounce with respect to the achievements of
the soldiers of the Republic engaged in the re.
cent struggle, will stand approved in the calmer
verdict Of the historian, even upon the testi-
mony Of the enemy against whom they have
acted, and by whose prowess, duplicity, and in.
human cruelty SO many of them have fallen.
The butchery Of the wounded by the hands
Of the secession forces was not anticipated in
this warfare, malignant and degraded as those
AOECeo huVo h"fosoioic proven themselves. IL
was the practice with tie savage foe once en-.
countered BY the white man upon the soil of
Virginia; but from the entrance Of civilization
till the present moment, it has not heretofore
been known and, as with the uututored savage
then, 80 with the retrograde hordes of the rebel
army now, we are placed at disadvantage by
the fact that we cannot retaliate the barbaric
cruelties they practice but must continue to be
merciful even where mercy is hurtful to our.
selves.
We would appeal, under the circumstances,
TO the commanders Of the rebel forces, and i'm.
plore them to save themselves from the great
shame Of which we speak, did we not know
that every blow inflicted by them in opposition
to the General Government, is parricidal act,
and that the most cruel malgnity is but its
natural offspring.
.5 We invoke the soldiers Of the Government to
remember ever that their cause is just and
holy, and that it must ueveS be ia. pisbed by

A NOBLE LETTER FROM A WASH.
INGTON PASTOR.
From the New York Evangelist

WASHINGTON Cry, July l3, 1861.
Besidas all my pastoral duties, coming upon
me daily, perform the ministerial service Of
visiting regularly the sick and wounded in
the United States Hospital on E street. NV
visits are every day, sometimes twice day.
In May and June there were received into
the Hospital 532 sick or wounded soldiers,
with every one Of whom have had more or
less conversation. They are generally intel.
ligent--some of them pious and interested for
the siritual welfare of their comrades. They
come furnished, in most cases, with Bibles or
Testaments. The depository here is open to
me, out Of which I supply oil who have need.
Besides, the frequent distribution Of tracks is
another of my privileges. The Hospital will
compare favorably with any other 'similrr in.
stitution. The number Of deaths is particu.
larly small, and must so continue, with such me.
dcal skill, experience, and attention.
Ladies in our city have been very kind in
these cases. One name l must mention, par.
ticularly, as she was born in your State, at
Pittsford, near Rochester and came to nv
church on certificate from Iowa. Her husband
is Mr.. Joseph T. Fales of the Patent Office.
Mrs. Fales has been as an angle of mercy in
her visits, two or three times day, furnishing
articles of necessity and comfort out of her
own means, and distributing to the soldiers
from sources of friends open to her in your
State and elsewhere. In my daily visits
meet her and then in the prayer meeting, and
in the ssnctury, we meet with devout men and
women, not few, to pray for the Divine bless
ing on all who have come at the call of the
Government in this the hour of peril.
These times and these scenes have given
me new and large experience, and higher ap.
probation of the blessings which we have 40
long enjoyed. / am thankful to contribute nv
influence, personal and ministerial, " the cause
of our common and beloved country Ireceiye
no pay for my services, and esteem it privilege
to render all in the name Of our Lord Jesus
