Among the staunchest Union men Of
Eastern Virginia is Hon. THOMAS L.
UrToS, who was electedio Congress last
May, from The Alexandra District, but
was deprived Of hisseat by some alleged
informalitihs in his election, Since the
occupation Of that part Of the State by
our forces, he has written letter TO a
friend in Philadelphia from which we
make an extract expressive Of the cOndi-
ton of things there:
Seeessionists In your city, by spreading
ialse reports, are endeavoring 20 deter Union
men from returning TO their homes Ga Fair
fax. brt the eif5Ft win be 10 vain, for they
are daily coming back, aud what Is more,
hicgD are kindly rscGped Jy their Sscsssioa nei5h
boris, who lcOk TO them now for protection.
and who admit that Virginia has 6aen guilty
Of the greatest folly, aud that Secession Is
"played QUIZ vu-
All along the country bordering the lower
river there is a great deal of Union senti.
ment, not only among the inhabitants, but
among the troops. macy OF whom have been
impressed into the tervice. Sumo fifty Of
the men, who had elhded the roaming bands
OF cavalry, and have thus far escaped being
| impressed into the service, are reported by
their families as being somewhere in the for
ests getting out timber for raft, on which
| they s'!!!! attempt 50 fIias5 their escape.
Captain HsEiiltoni has been six miles up
| the IOugbieOmieo, aud bad conversed with
as many as a hundred OF the people, who
treated him with the greatest cordially, and
expressed sentiments Of loyalty. They say
that they only want the protection Of the
| Government, aud Chat when the flag is
hoisled again 10 that section, hundreds will
! riinck VOG diieyT state that when the militia
/ was being drafted, many of the men ex-
I pressed wish that gunboat would come
( up the river In order that they might seize
the opportunity to escape. They ere almost
in smshed condition, the country having
been despoiled of everything III the way oil
/ provisions. &c. r H.aa ..'
! Captain Hamilton has reliable Information
that Fsrt Lowry, Of twelve guns, on the
Rappahannock, has been Abandoned and
that the river is entirely free, from the
mouth to the town Of Rappahanuock, about
forty miles up.
Last week b. went with bolps crew NJ

An ErIcsson NavY.

Captain Ericsson left here yesterday
morning, having fully completed ar
rangemeuts for the rapid construction Of
six new Monitors, or, as our Southern
friends have dubbed them, Yankee
Cheese boxes" The construction of
these vessels was announced some DAVIS
ago, but some slight changes having
been decided on, for purposes Of conye-
nience in the working Of the vessel and
guns, the matter was delayed short
time till the department could be con-
ferred with. Now, however, they will
be pressed forward in completion with
the same degree of energy Capt. Erics-
son displayed in the construction Of his
first vessel Now that it is fully set
tied that vessels upon this plan possess
superior sea going qualities, and that
they can be constructed for moderate:
price, comparatively, it is reasonable TO
expect that we shall soon have an Erics-
son navy, that will at least not suffer in
comparison with the boosted navies of
the old world These new Monitors
are to be of superior size and strength,
and will possess ample room for the
