The following paragraph, which we clip from a Richmond paper, will impress all with the seriousness which affairs hare assumed. It will be remembered tbst the two officers? Sawyer end Flynu?were drawn a short time since in righteous retaliation for the shooting, by Foderal authority, of two Confederate ie. cruiting officers. It wee the only resource left to our Government, after honorable effort to avert the bloody (Iterualive ; and if the Federal Government carries out the threats conveyed below, it will, in all probability, lead to the iioinu result <M an indiscriminate putting to dvath of tbe priaoncra on both sides ! A Fort reus MLpnroa despatch, dated July 17, aaya : "Yesterday afternoon the rebel General W. II. V. Lee and Captain Winder were re moved from tbe McClellan iioepital to Fortress Monroe, and placed in a casemate under ground, and notice was sent to the rebel.government that if they executed CapU. Sawyer ane Flynn, whom they now have iu clone confinement and under eeutence of death iu Kichi raond, General Lee and Cept. Winder will be executed in .retaliation." A circular from TTeut. Col.

There is evideuce that Lee ia not to ba allowed to quietly retrace hie way toward Richmond, and resume at leisure hia fortified posts along the Rappa hannock. Gen. Meade has the inside track for any point this aide of Gordons* illc, and will hardly give it up without a new trial of strength. The Richmond Kngvirrr, of the 24th inst., in corroboration of the above, aays : "we learn that the enemy ha* appeared in Loudoun and Fauquier counties in large force, having crossed the l'otomac at Berlin and Leesburg ; and that they have possesaion of Snicker's Gap, which they found guarded by only fifteen men.? Another portion of the enemy appeared at I'aria nud Mat khatn in Fauquier ; and ruinoni further say thnt cavalry and infantry have reached Aiuiisville, Rappahannock county. Gov.

The gang num1>ered from 400 to 800, and came from Washington, N. C. At Rocky Mount, they burned the depot, 6,000 bales of cotton, and a large cotton factory owned by Wm. 8. Battle.
