Gorernor of Nort4 Cuar s f lua. s Sin.: I have the honor to report that 8O0 men of my regiment, and 360 Virginians, i were engaged for five and a lntlf hours with a fonr and a half regiments uf the enemy, at e Bethel Church, nine miles from Iampton. The enemy made three distinct and well sus e tamed chargea, but were repulstd with heavy ,t luss. Our cavalry pursued them for six miles, when their retreat became a total rout. Fear I ing that heavy reinforce:nents would be sent . up from For;ree Mouroc, we fell back at , night fall upon our works at Yorktown. I i rejre to report the log of one man killed, private Henry L. Wyatt. Edgeconbe Guard, t and seven wounded. The los of the enemy, if by their own confession, was 150, but it may I. be safely estimated at 250. Our regiment be e haved most gallantly. Not a man shrunk e from his post, or showed symptoms of fear. b When more at leisure, I will give you a de ,f tailed report of operations. . Our heavenly Father has most wonderfully interposed to shield our heads in the day of I battle. Unto His great name be all the praise i for our success. With great. respect. s (Signed.) D. I. HILL. Col. ist Regiment N. C. V's Later from Missouri.--The Invaders to be Driven Out. Sr. Louis, June 14.-W. 0 Barrett, a broth er of the late member of Congress from this e District, has been arrested on a charge ol treason. Other prominent citizens are impli t cated. The Federal troops are being distri bute-d through the State. Three steamiers ars now at the arsenal, taking on board troop des-ined for Jefferson City. The bridge over t" the Osage River, on the Pacific lhiiroad, eight miles East of Jefferson City. has been burnt. Governor Jackson has issued the f.:llowing proclamation: Outrages of an unlooked for , and unp~aralelled character have been inflic ted on the peace and dignity of this common wealth, and upon the t iglhs and liberties of t its people, by wicked and unprincipled men, f professing to act under the authority of the Federal Goverr:menit. The solemn enactments of your Legislature have been nullified, your Sveluite'r soldiers have been arrested, con Smerce with our sister Sttates tippressed, trade i with vonur own fellowy-cirizenis mande subject to the fiarrtssing control of armed sul tier.-, p'eaceful iiti,.xns imprisoned without warratn. u tofi;mnglii and delf eneess met-n, womnen and children ruthlessly :hot down and i urdered, and other unbearable indignities heaped upon your State and yourselves. To all this you have submitted with a patriotic forbearance which has only encouraged mitore daritig usur . p:tions. My object has been to preserve peace and avert war from our border. With that view, Gen. Price made an arrangemuent with Gen. Ilarney. The State Coa-ernment has faithfully adhered to this agreement, while the Federal Governinenut has manifested its disapprobation by the dimiissal of Gen. - ilarvey, and has cotnne:aced proceedings tt t terly lustile to the agreenent. Waiving the I di.iity of Missouri, I solicited an in:erview I with Gen. Lyons, the successor of Gen. iliar ney, anda to him madti propositiis which were f more honorable to the Federd Government 1 than to Missouri, that if the Federalists would withdraw, I would pledge myself to disliand the Militia, and that all citizens, regardless of their political opinions, would unite to re - pres inisixrrection and mtaintaini a strict neut tralixtv. Ifcncessary to carry out these piedies, I wo:.ld call the assistance of the .F'ederal atuthorities. Nothing but a diesire to avert the horrors of civil war could h-ave in 'bduced. me to make such humiiliating proposi i tisi. These piropositionis were ijected, and I no'tw call for 3O000 militia to repel thtese in-. vaders. -Our Free Colored Poptulation.

RICHMOND, June 14.-The Virginia State Convention to-day signed the Ordinance of Secession, which consummates the indepen dence of the State. The latest reports from Bethel idnicate the alfair to be a complete victory, and route of the Lincolnit es. A flag (of truce came to Col. Magruder for the purpose of burying the dead and exchanging prisoners. Col. Magruder Said they "might do the first, but, as for the last, I will see them damned first." The officer hearing tbe flag of truce said their loss in killed and wounded was 230. Two of their ollicers and one general officer are supposed to have been killed. Butler is said to have been in command, and possibly he is the dead man. Thirteen prisoners were taken, and have been brought to Richmond. The Maryland Legislature has instructed their Senators to vote for a recognition of the Southern Confederacy. From Washington. WasuixsitsrN, June 14.-There will beso attack on Manassas Gap by the Federal troops until Harpers Ferry is taken. It is known here that several natives of the Northern States have left for Europe, for tlhe purpose of fitting out Confederate privateers. Intense excitnent prevails here from ru mors that the Confederates are marching on Washington. Advices to this etreet have been received at the War Departmnent. A detaehment has left Fortress Monroe; under a flag of truce for Great Bethel, for the purpose ol burying the dead. - Persons who have arrived here from Mont gomery county, Maryland, represent that ve Licles of every deacription, laden with arms, provisions, anunnitions, &c., are en route for Baltimto.re, via the Chesapeake Canal, for the Southern forces. In view of Austria's refusal to receive Bur lingane, who was appointed Minister to that Empire, by Lincoln, the former has been ap poiuted Minister to China. The National Inte'ligencer says that the Government here will soon pay its troops. Gen. Schenek has been ordered across the Potomac with his brigade, an attack on Wash. ington City by Gen. Beauregard being appre. hended. The gossip of the New York Tribune says that Arkansas is sending arms and amnuni tions to the .Lissourians. The New York Herald says that there are indications of an attack on 'Harper's Ferry, at all hazards, by 35,0100 Federal troops. Evacuation of Harper's Ferry.

How M:'Mints is to uE TArry.-The Mem. phis Bulrin of Friday has the following : 'I Cl. Prentiss said last Wednesday that he want.d at least seventy five thousand troops to invade the South, and that they did not in tend to move at all till they obtained them. i:e said he expectel to get t.iem ready in ten days, and that if he did. they would march down the river in three columns. one column of twenty five thousand troop< in twenty-five stea:noats, to proceed down the river, sup ported by a column on each side of the river of twenty-live thousand troops.

In publishing the Roil of the " Edyle/ci: Hac ears," in our last issue, the name of Private E. A MiMs was unintentionally omitted. Executive. The Governor's Read Quarters are temporaril: at Edycwood, his residence in this immediate vi einity. Of course he holds himself in readines to go at a moment's warning to any part of th State where his servicoe swny be at all nece.sary But until such necessity ariaes we pirelume h will remain at his home, at least fur the greate portion of his time. Cotwuniratintin will roael him readily mailed to this point; and should unu sual expedition be desirel, dispatches ria the Telegraph Olice at Augusta will he promptly for wnrded. We learn informally from his Excellency, tha applications for arms have crowded the depart ment beyond its abilities to meet. It is koped that parties thus applying will retmmber that th governor bas not recnurs.e t"an (overtlowing armor3 but rather to one that has already been well nigl exhausted by the demands of the war. Not onl: have arms been supplie1 to the troops of our ,.wi Stale, but the necesities of the crisis have re quired that large help he affeorded in this resper to the States of North Carolina, Tennesco an< Florida,-which has been done. The Governor Is still doing all he can to meet the application that press upon him, and has recently furnishe< the Hlampton Legion with a park of artillery, I.e sides-five hundred newly-rifled guns,-the best he could do without depriving certain efficient troop for home service, to which he would not consent Such in fact is the present difficulty in this busi ness, that the Executi. e has been compelled will muih regret to declare to Voh. Onat i, inabilit. to supply his legion with any arms. True, it i the part of the Confederate Government to afli rd arms to its troeps. But our State Governmen has hitherto (one all it could iuxiliary to thi end, nnd we are sure that Our. i'tetn~ss will stil endeavor to dl so, as far as the means are withit his controil. Still they go. A letter from our townsman, Dr. T. J. TrAmCr: dated Columbia, June 12th, informs us that le has joined a Rifle Company attached to the regi ment of Col.
