We have had an opportunity of oon veraing with several persons just arrivtd from the interior of. the Southern Slates some of whom left rather than take tbw oath of allegiance lothe new Confederacy and oilier s bt cause their business .was broken up by reason of their still adhering to their old faith and their ancient alle giarce, ' , One of these parlies left Hichmord where he had been - since February, ou Thursday morning last, and spent Friday in Norfolk. He informed us that there was still a fierce enthusiasm seeming to pervade tho Secessionists throughout the South Aomen and children, as well as men; that they have a complete conGdence in their ability to maintain iheir position, that there were, to his personal knowl edge, many Union men in Richmond, and in Norfolk especially, that the counties of Eastern Virginia, as well as the towns, were swarming with soldiers; that almost every man wore uniform, and w. a at tached to some military organization; that the troops ' were, in many cases, ragged, and in . very few cases uniformed, that their cloilies were of homespun, dyed with the walnut bark, or some similar substance, to secure something like uni foimity of color among those of the earne company; that they were very badly off for shoes, had very bad blankets, still fewer tents, and "ere well armed only in certain places, ti at Manasses, and in parts of .Tcnaessee, having, brought each man his squirrel gun or fowling piece, with Bunh fixtures as he could provide at home. : - ' . . In Richmond, there was not much dis-oaderly behaviour in the s reels, and no drunkenness, that he saw, among the soldiers. Among the operatives , and me cbanics especially the Union feeling was strong; but no one could dare to give expression to it. - The Union men,' however, knew each other, and were objects of suspicion to tho e who. ruled ar-d those who uph Id them. The knowledg that a man still ad I ered to the Union was sufft cient lo deprive him of employment, and take away custom from his store.' Many Union men who could get away had left, but the great mass, of courst, could not get off, and they were waiting, in hope, the arrival of the National armies . to .release them from the oppression which was exercised over them. '.j' , The Union men would undoubtedly join the United States flag as soon ns it could be displayed among them.. Thou sands would flock to it who now were si lenced, and who were actually now foiced lo bear arms against it, What was the relative actual strength of the parties there, it was impossible to say. , The Secessionists, werp, in many places in the interior, beginning to be entirely sick of tbis state Of aFnirs, '' Coffee, fifty cents a pound li n?ly any hotel now g:ive coffee some had tea that, too. was high.

' ' - In the western and mountainous region of North Carolina, and espstiia ly in East Tennessee, Ucion men dared still to gather together and speak out, except in. those points which were i losely - occupied by Jeff. Davis' "minions." ' ," In Northern Alabama, too, about Huntaville, and in Northeastern Mississippi, ai well as among the largest planters along the river, the Union feeling was rife and strong, and heard one man say at a "gathering," that "if, he could only see the ol J Stars nd Stripes he would cry for joy," , ' Gen. B. F. Butler mado a speech at Burlington, ' Vermont, on Wednesday evening. He said that if any foreign nation dared to interfere in our intestine war, we would cease dealing with southern traitors as erring brothers, delicately and tenderly, and .should arm every loyal Union man.

Uuol Between Ploketa, A Washington correspondent of the-' Detroit Tribune tells the following yarn :' A good story is in circulation here, bat which hns not yet got into the paper's. As it is too good to bo lost, I put it in shapo' for print, f jr he benefit of whom it may concern: One of the Miehiganders being out oa" advance picket duty, a few days ago. came in sight of a South Carolina rebels also on similar duty, when the following dialogue nnd duel took place: Michigan "Ha'lo, South Carolina, how are you to-day?" - - . South Carolina "Pretty well, thank you; how nre all tho Yankees?" ' - i M. So, so.' 'What's the news over irj . Dixie?" -...;.'; " S. "Nothing in particular, only we're' got somo rifles now that will outshoot your Yankee guns all hollow." , M. "Don't believe the yarn., You! seceshers brag too much, y Can't fooJ your pap on thit trigger.- - - - S. ''Suppose, then, you nnd I jusfi tako d few piivate passes nt each other to1 settle this little question, - What say you.' H.-"" A greed . ' Forty rods and tnree' shots each." . ' 1 Tbe question then arose as to the pre7-' liminaries, ecc-, there being no parties', present to act ns as seconds. These were,-however, soon settled by South Carolina' giving Michigan a gold dollar for the first three shots. The parties then took their positions, and South Carolina bl red-away-his three shots at Michigan, who stood erect and pointed out to South Carolina-tbo direction each of Lis shots had taken1' Michigan escaped unhurt, and no?v cam V his turn to fire. . South Carolina, to hitr credit be it (aid, stood erect and received Michigan's first shot in the thigh, which brought him down flat upon the ground. "Hallo, old fellow, none of that," said Miihigani ''r.o dodging the question: Stand up liko a man, will you? "ioo owa uk two more d n oooo 8Ho79, and you must pay '.bm, mind that, or no more' bragging about chivalry." , . .. But South Carolina, -having ofie leg-broken already by a shot from Michigan-der's unerring musket, could rot stand ou both pegs of his chivalry, end therofoio "squatted," and cheated our honeit Mft U ifftnder out of "tro d u good shots," and thus- ended thi ) fanny iinpromtu duel.
