Washington, july 20.
Late Richmond papers contain the pro-
ceedings Of the courtmartial which tried
Com. Laken on the charge of culpable
destruction of the Merrimac. He is
awarded an honorable acquittal.
The Richmond Enquirer Of the 24th
has IN editorial on "Lincoln's damnsble
policy aud his project, in which it j. said
that the usurpation of the Government
that sets at Washington has been SO great
and radical as to totally dissolve any
bonds they may have supposed bound US
to the Northern States. The people are
called upon to endure the most extreme
distress, to make any sacrifices, even to
life itself, sooner than yield 10 such foe,
so disgusting and SO malignant.

Men ana Means.

The war committee. appointed at The
meeting Saturday night, are organizing
and going 10 work in earnest, and their
efforts, We arc glad to say, arc seconded
By our people generally. Meetings are to
be held in every township and thorough
canvass made of the county for men and
money. Other counties are filing up
their quota Of men rapidly, and our peo-
pie ale resolved that old Lee shall not be
behind We have 10 raise about 1--WE
companies in THE county, and in order IL
pay bounty OF fifty dollars TO each vol
unteer, and s25 to the families of such as
have families, it Is estimated that about
twelve thousand FIVE hundred dollars will
have to be raised. A subscription is to
be circulated at once, and every citizen
will be called upon. Let all respond lib
orally. What is our property worth with
out governmental protect it? What is it
worth to us il the minions of treason
should ever succeed in carrying the war
into the free States? Let us realize at
once that our all is at stake in this con-
test, and let those who cannot 60 to the
war contribute literally Of all that they
have to reward those that do. There are
many who are willing to serve the coun-
try, but who cannot provide for their
wives and little ones without they receive
something more than the Government
pays. We earnestly hope, for the credit
Of Lee county, That the SUM required will
be promptly subscribed and paid, aud that
there will be no delay in raising the two
companies required of US. The Govern
ment pays SCI bounty and one months
pay in advance-in oil S40--upon enlist
ment, Add to this the amount proposed
to be raised in this county by private SUBJ
scription and the amount is sufficient to
enable each recruit to leave his family Ia
a comfortable situation. Let every man
feel that he has something to do in this
matter Individually, and the work will be
speedily accomplished.

/ am credibly informed that large rebel
forces are being concentrated on the line
of the James RIVER above tho junction Of
the Appomattox and Jnmes They came
down from Kichmond by the Petersburg
and Richmond Rail Road. 1t is believed
they already number from fifty to sixty
thousand. and that jackson is in com-
mand. There is no truth in the rumor
that he is in pursuit of Gen. Pope. My
informant is very confident that the rebels
are now making bold stand at the above
named place, and are bringing all the
forces there they can spare from Rich
mond. He believes it is the intention OF
the rebels very soon to make an attack On
Suffolk, as they are within twenty miles
of that city with considerable force.
Night before last company of rebel
cavalry came down on Gloucester Point,
opposite Yorktown, seized and carried of
a lot Of contrabands that had accumulat-
ed there. and also forced into the rebel
army all the males that could be found
there capable Of bearing arms. They set
on fire lot Of ship timber and left.
The rebel cavalry are almost daily
prowling about that region, soaking plum
der of every kind and pressing into the
service al men they think will be OF any
use to them. Similar deprsdations sre
being committed in the vicinity Of VIII
liamsburg, whether by gucrrilas or regu-
lars of the rebel army, II is hard to de-
termine, as they often go clothed alike
BY the disguise, they assume authority
which otherwise they could not in their
naked characters. They commit many
depredations, telling civiliars they have
authority for their acts, being regular
