A correspondent of the First Virginia
regiment sends US the following stirring
address of General Longstreet to the army
of the Potomac. Our correspondent says
that over two-thirds of the twelve months
men of the army will re.enlist, aud more
than that proportion of the End Division

"The rebel army of the Potomac will be
disbanded in the spring. Until then will
not attack it. Then, with their fresh levies
against my trained and disciplined hosts,
victory will be certain, success inevitable. "
Soldiers Of the End Division Thus the
commander. in-chief of the Northern army
proclaims the subtle policy by which the
enemy hope to crush US. Upon your deci.
sion the issue depends. The army of the
Potomac has been styled the "Rebellion,"
for with our destruction must inevitably
come the unchecked Yankee horde to over
run aud destroy Virginia, the Carolinas and
the entire South. This is the ouly argu-
ment, the only appeal your general has to
make to a proud and gallant soldiery.-
With the presence of such trained and tried
veterans of the Southern pioneer army, the
victory is already won; with your back
turned upon US and the foe, victory trem-
bles fearfully in the balance. The allure.
ments Of home are strong to entice the citi.
zen soldiery from the field, but the voice is
a syreu, to which, while it preteuds to call
to duty these, may, aye! will, lead US to a
felon's cell, and leave for our mothers,

others to defend the mothers, wives, daugh-
ters and homes of Virginia.? Must battles

fciency Of the army, furloughs will be
granted to all who feel it due to themselves
to ask it.

Mr.. Stewards Apology for the Stone
Blockade Of Charleston Harbor---
Lord Lyons Despatch onthe Subject.
The London Official Gazette publishes
the following despatch from Lord Lyons {:
WASHINGTON, January IA.
(Received January 27.)
My LORD: Three days ago, in obedi-
dience to your Lordships orders, I spoke
to MIR. Seward on the subject Of the plan
adopted by this Government Of obstructing
the entrance to some of the barbors in the
Southern States BY sinking vessels, laden
with stones, in the channels.
Mr.. Seward observed that it was alto.
gether mistake to suppose that this plan
had been devised with view to injure the
harbors permanently 1t was, he said,
simply temporary military measure adop-
ted to aid the blockade. The Government
of the United States had, last spring, with
navy very little prepared for so extensive
an operation, undertaken to blockade up
wards of three thousand miles of coast
The Secretary of the Navy had reported
shat he could stop up the "large holes" by
means of his ships, but that he could not
stop up the "small ones" 1t had been
found necessary, therefore, to close some
of the numerous small inlets by sinking
vessels in the channels. 1t would be the
duty of the Government of the United
States to remove all these distractions as
soon as the Union was restored. 1t was
we'll understood that this was an obligation
incumbent on the Federal government
At the end of the war with Great Britain
that Government had been called upon to
remove vessel which had been sunk 10
the harbor Of Savannah, and had recogni-
zed the obligation and removed the vessel
accordingly. Moreover, the United States
were now engaged in civil war with the
South.
He was not prepared to say that as an op-
GRAFTON in war it Was unjusti6able to des.
troy permanently the harbors of the enemy,
but nothing of the kind had been sunk by
the rebels to prevent the access to their
ports of the cruisers of the United States.
The same measure has been adopted by the
United States in order to make the block
ade complete. When the war was ended,
the removal of all these distractions would
be mere matter of expense. There would
be no great difficulty in removing them
efectually.
Besides, as has already been done in the
case Of Port Royal, the United States would
open better harbors than those which they
closed.
I asked Mr.. Seward whether the princi.
pal entrance to Charleston harbor had not
been recently closed altogether by the ves'

Confiscation Of Yankee Property--Im-
nortont ct of Gnnprase

| pOTGduI ACO VI SOASi065.
We learn that Congress has, in secre
session, finally passed a bill amending th'
Sequestration Law, and invigorating it BY
number of new provisions.
The Richmond Examiner gives the fol
lowing summary of the most important pro
visions Of this law It provides, 10 ths
first section, that all the estates, property
and effects of alien enemies, shall be col
lected aud sold, except thatno debtor chose
in action shall be sold, aud the fund shall
be Immediately paid into the Confederate
States Treasury.
APPLICATION OF THE sEoUEsTRAT1oN
FUND.
The law requires that the fund realized
as above shall be equally applied to losses
sustained BY the acts Of confscation by the
enemy.
1t provides also that it's application may
be extended to other losses on the part Of
faithful citizens of the Confederacy, which
the future acts Of Congress may establish
as proper cases for indemnity.
WHAT ALIENS ExEMPT--MARRIED Wo-
MEN, ETC
The act defines in separate classes, those
who, although living out Of the Confedera.
cy, are not to be considered as aliens within
its provisions. Among the exempts are
enumerated all persons residing in the
Northern States who have in good faith at
tempted to remove their domicil to the ju-
risdiction of the Confederate States, but
have been prevented from doing so by the
force or power of the enemy.
Another exempt class is that of married
women, natives of the Coufederacy, whose
husbands have not voluntarily contributed
to the war upon the South.
HEIRS OF ALIENS TO BE PROTECTED.
Where the next of kin of aliens, in the
ascending or descending lines, are faithful
citizens of the Confederacy, they may have
decreed to them the estate of the alien, as
if he were dead or intestate, on paying costs
in the Confederate States District Court,
taking the property subject to all debts due
from the alien to faithful citizens of the
Confederate States. -. .n..... q
pARTNERsHIPs--REAL ESTATE CONTRACTS
RECEIVERS, ETC.
In cases of all partnerships in which
aliens are interested, it is provided that
proceedings shall be taken against the res
ident partner in the same manner as against
a surviving partner iu the event of dis
solution of partnership. ~
In contracts for the sale of real estate,
made with an alien before the 2kst of May,
1861, the law allows the receiver to exc
cute the contract on receiving the amount
of purchase money, which is forthwith to
be sequestrated.
The law makes some changes with re.
spect to the compensation of Receivers and
their accounts their compensation to be
settled 10 the discretion of the court by
such analogies as may be furnished in the
rates paid executors and administrators in
the respective States, and the provision be-
ing repealed which requires Receivers to
keep separate accounts of every alien estate.
All debtors to aliens are required to re-
port, under oath, to the Receivers within
three months from the passage Of the act.

Letters from the seat ofwar now state
that our victory at Fair Oaks was more
negative than positive. We gained nothing
in position, and hardly in prestige, while we
made some loss in materials for which we
have no corresponding gain, though, in the
matter Of prisoners, we may have rather
the advantage of the rebels. Their loss in
killed and wounded is unquestionably far in
excess of ours, heavy as that is. In this,
and in the failure of their attempt to anni~

We have been permitted to extract the
following from a letter written by Capt
George w. Crosby, formerly resident of
this city, and now Captain in the Twenty
third Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers,
dated five miles from Richmond, June 7th.
Capt. Crosby was in the engagement at Fair
Oaks, and fought side by side with the
Minnesota First. He says: q" When Gen.
Sumner came to reinforce US, my company
was on the right of our Brigade. Sedg-
wick's Division was in the advance, and the
First Minnesota had the right. They
marched along the edge of wood, and my
company joined them on the left. Before
we had formed in line of battle, the enemy
opened Calling fire on us, but we drove
them back. The first knowledge l had OF
the company was in was in looking
around and seeing the familiar countenance
of Francis Baasen, late Secretary of your
State. He cried out, There's George
Crosby You had better baleve we took
hearty shake. After fighting two hours
side by side, we succeeded in taking the
enemy's ground. I then went among the
Minnesota boys, and hearty welcome did
1 receive. Gen. German and Col. Sully
