Jons 16, 1801. f Mr. Ramsey: Having i leisure moment I embrace this opportunity of giving you a fer items concerning the affairs at Camp Dcnnison. Last week there was not much done in cmnp, owing to so many three years' volunteers being off on furloughs. But by th middle of this wetk these furloughs will all have ended, and then our camp will resume its usml activity, but according to Col. Andrews we will noi have long lo erj'y its pleaRtuee. The olonel informed one of our officers that this ould be our "last Sunday in C.trap Dentjson." As I am writing, Ilia boys are preparing to march to a beautiful grore just back of our camp, where religious exer- cises will beheld. We understand hat the services will be conducted by the Rev. Mr. Warren, of Marion, O. who has received the appointment of Chaplain for this regiment. He is an exceedingly worthy man, and 8 devoted christian. To-dty (sunday, ) the 9th and 10th reciments leave this camp, but a here they are uoing is very hard to End out. It is currently reported that their destination is Virginia. Uapt. sumasirs niicnigun Artillery Company, alsi received marching orders yesterday. They will probably accompany the twe regiments above named. On Saturday we had our first battalion drill. It was wiinesse 1 by a large number of spectators, on the railroad and the larae bill in front of our camp. The maneuvers of the regiment in column, and flank movements were highly praised by all those who witnessed ihem. We doubt if Uncle Sam has a better regiment in his service. I send you the names of our officers and in this connection let me speak one word in praise of our noble captain. He is the very man the boys have been looking for ever since Andrews was elected colonel. I'ut having never aspired to the position of Captain, and being exceedingly unpre tending in his manners, they could not have a ade a better selection. Though strict in duty, he is at all times kind and obliging. He is ever ready to do anything in his power that will attribute to the enjoyment and well being of the boys of Company A, and what is of great credit to him. he is always to bo found at his post. The boys also made very judicious selections in their first and second Lieutenants. Coate and Gilliam are both gentlemen and will muke splendid officers They have a WAV8 mingled with the boys freely, which has endeared them to those over whom they have o immand. No o'lier actions are noticed so much in an officer as this one feature. The three months volunteers, I believe, have all been sent back, some on furloughs of forty days, hut as their time will have expired, by limitation, in about thirty days hence, 1 suppose we will havd to bid the bovs a lonir furewell. We understand that the salaries of the three months men will be paid by the respeciiv counties in wbich they live, but when it will be paid I bave not 1 arned. The following ore our officers as Ihey were elected and appointed -ince tho re organization of CompHny A: Cap:ain L- W. Carpenter. 1st Lieutenant F. A. Coates. . .2nd do A.

Editor Mr. Virnoh Republican, Sir: Permit ms m inmlila nou with a short statement of natters nnd things as exist ing here, not wishing to add any tiling to tha xTnilompnt alreftilv existing: but con sider it due the citizens tiere, as some oi ibnm Imvs been haselv slandered and abused by those who are epposed to the , i it-: mi.

Now the very men that profess to be afraid of being mooned are me very one that first circulated this base falsehood. Now what are such lies circulated for? We conclude, first, i' is for the purpose of injuring the onion feeling in lhi place, and secondly, they think they may gain sympathisers. Bui if such andrs went no larther than the neighborhood we would not consider this article in place but they may have some credit for their false reports eleewi ere. But they are known here. As for morality and sobriety, they n iwpir. knak tha sabbath, and some ol them get light and abuse those that are well known for honesty ana integrity men who wish to live in peaci wim sn, If a man spek in favor of tho Union ha ia rlvnnlorl Mark ReDublican. black hearted Abolitionist. Ac But if some of them were a shade lighter the dough could be ten in their faces. Now I positively assert that there i not a Union mnn in this neighborhood but would assist in quelling a riot of any k;nd. This is not intended ai a slur on the Demo- cratio party, for we all know that a good share of that party are true to the government, and those that are not are not democrats. We think that any man that is a man is willing to stand by the Union whether Democrat or Republic n. But tho statements in this article are truo as many could testify, and as for mobbing here no one need lo fear unless tho south-ern sympathizers get It up. Let this suf fioe for the present. Respectfully yours, Unionist. Dispatch from tne Seat of War at sparta. Brought through la tho unpreoedent abort tim.9 of soven days by tha ox toam telegraph line. We notice in he Banner of June 18th, an editorial heded "Excitement at Spar ta, in which ( lie Banner editor sets out by sitying that certain wide-awakes, who were too great cowards to enlist as sol diers in the army, made threats that they would hang one B. L S., for the crime of doing his own thinking and speaking without taking lessons Irom said wide awakes. Now we are Informed from a reliable source, t at this is a base false-, hood and that there has been no such threats made in that vicinity against any man, and particularly ;against said , as the Spartans make a practice of Bend- iug lunatic' to the insane asylum, in pre ference to banging. The dannrr further says that sai threat was to have been carried out by a mob on fridny last, but that the sudden and mysterious appear ance of some two hundred strong handed, and brave hearted democrats, "armed and equipped as the law directs," admonished the greasy caped gentlemen that discretion was the better part of valor, so they kept shady. The Banner t link tha' ti e appearance of so many democrats, all armed, was a mysterious thing, and so it was to some; but to those acquainted with the circumstances there is no mystery, as we are informed that there were some five to eight men, rode all thursday night recruiting officers, traver-ing the country for some ten miles around Sparta, beating up for volunteers to defend the life and limbs of said S. Friday morning came at last, and with it came said democrats who appeared so mysteriously. They forctd a murch to within a mile of town, when the order was giv -n to stack their aims, lest their weary limbs, and iubibe a little more war spirit, (from pocket flasks.) After Vesting for the space of one hour snd a half, the order was given to fall into ranks and march, to Sparta. They finally reached Sparta in good ord r, armed with shot guns, corn cutters, and clubs, "as the law directs," The com pany was commanded by oneJQilcs Swet land, armed with a corn cutter s'uck in a p le. The company was marched up in front of the store of Chase & Cj snl ordered to stack their arms against the fence, whpn lo and behold ! there were some thirty old rusty shot guns and rifles all told, besides a few corn cutters and clubs. An embankment was hastily thrown up, and one cob gun, or smooth bored Swetland gun planted on the battery, After several war speeches, of an infl amatory nature were made, the Swetland nun was broti ht to bear on Chase's store and the match applied, and sad to elate, when the smuke had cleared away, and a list of the dead and wounded tnken, it was found that one cream jar was mortally wounded, it being on the porch of said store and exposed to the most deadly fire of the enemy After the firing ceased from the battery, Cap'ain Giles Swell md brought his corn cutter to bear on said store, and had he not been prevented, by his superior of ficers, he would have entirely put the enemy to flight, and probably killed and wounded many, besides taking some pris oners. Said S. was formerly an old line wliiy, then he joined the know-nothing ranks where he figured for some time as a leader, until'he found that would not promo'e him to rank and station, when he suddenly came out a democrat, hoping lha at last he had found the teat that makes fat calves, but alaa. he wa9 doomed to disappointment We have just came in possession of other important facts. By further telegraph it appears that a masked battery of sod corn whukev was conceal ed in a grocery, f nd before said army of democrats left the held, several ot mem were shot in the neck, and badly disabled by some'one concealed behind the mashed whiskey battery. The town iB now in the peacabl possession of the federal foroes and the Stars a id Stripes are floating lo the breeze.

The Great Ut thel Affair. The Baltimore Patriot gives the following account, which in many respects is fuller and more satisfactory than any oilier. It seems to have been derived Irom Capt Butler and other officers who csmo to Baltimore by the steamer Oeorgianna, bearinsr the official report from Uen, But ler to Washington. The Patrol says: Tli ii number of killed on the Federal side will not, it is laid, exceed fifteen oi sixteon. and the wounded fiftv or sixty All the killed and wounded were brought back to Fortress Modroe in boats under the charge of the Nival brigade, who are said to have acted in the bravi-st manner in going on the field and bringing the bod ies oil' during the thickest of the fight thus exposing themselves to the greatest danger from the fire of the enemy. It was the opinion of all who witnessed their conduct, that if they had ben provided with arms, they could have silenced the battery in a short time. The entire blame of tho unfortunate re suit of the affair is laid on the shoulders of Gen. Pierce, who Is execrated by every one for his total want of efficiency. This sentiment was i-hared alike bv both Union men and secessionists the latter especial ly cpenly expressing their contempt for him. Gen. Dutler was perfectly enraged against him. and when Pierce was brought before him, he cursed him, called him a fool and a cowar I, told him he had failed in the performance of his du'y, declaring that he had no connlence in him, and t at he would not hereafter trust him, no matter how small or unimportant the affair.It was the general imprest ion that the battery could have bee.i taken in half an hour, had Gen. Pieroe, when he first dis covered it, withdrawn h's forces, and went two miles below, where he could ha7e crossed tho river in boats, and attack d it In such a way as to have captured it al most without resistance. 1 Qutta Percha Floating Bridge). Mr. John Ryder, No, 139 Broadway, is about to submit to the Government a new invention of a gutta percha floating bridge, whioh, it is olaimed, w'll be of great benefit lo our army when a river has to be crossed, and no sending bridges are near, The gentleman also claims that the forward part of the bridge can be formed into a barricade in a few minutes time, and be perfectly bullet proof,' th' reby preventing an enemy on the opposite shore (rom doing any material injury to those on the bridge. Tl e structure Is simply divided into sec-lions twenty feet loner by twenty inches in diameter; each section being supplied with a large air chamber to be inflated with air, and which the inventor asserta will sustain twenty-two hundred pounds, Theehamber is similar to a clipper ship's bottom, and the inventor says it will flout as gracefully on the water as the finest made yatch, and with perfect saf ty. The sections are united by lacing with hemp rope, the eyelet holes being about six inches aiart. uver tne sections plan if necessary, can be laid down; the pac-between each necti n being sufficiently wide for men. horses and ar'illery to pass without the slightest inconvenience. A y number or secions can be us a it . ... . , , . once, and very lime is con sum en in put ting them together. The barricade referred too, is formei by draw ng up the leading section with guy lines, behind which the soldiers can work their guns t a good advantage. The bridge is simple in its construc tion, and can be easily carried in the ordinary batfgagn wagons. The plan will he submitted to 'he gov ernment on an extended scale in a few days, when it will be fully tested. A "Contraband" at Carlo. The special oorrespndtnt of the Chicago Tribune at Cario, gives the following Inci dent: We have a "contraband" negro engaged tinon the fortification.
