Norfolk Sept. 18, 1861.
The Federal steamer Fanny Cadwallader came up as far as Craney Island yesterday afternoon, with a flag of truce from Old Point having on board two gentlemen and their wives, from New York, and whose residence is in North Carolina.
They state that their trunks were thoroughly searched by the detectives at New York, and sealed.
The search also took place on their arrival at Philadelphia, and finally at Old Point by Picayune Butler's Massachusetts female.
I learn here that it was currently reported in New York, that Old Abe and Seward had reached that city to avoid the noise made by Gen. Beauregard.
I am informed by passengers just up to the city from Craney Island, that there are two large vessels lying off Newport News.
There are six at Old Point, f
A remarkable Career of villainy checked.
--The arrest of Captain J. M. Wing, on yesterday, says the N. O. Bee, of the 12th, has brought to light and checked one of the most extraordinary careers of villainy we have ever heard of, showing him to be at the same time a traitor, a swindler, and a seducer.
Before the commencement of the present war, Wing was well known here as a steamboat man, and when the Abolition Koontz, who is now Commodore of Lincoln's river flotilla, was ordered to leave our port with the City of Memphis, while he took the cars to make quicker time, Wing took charge of his boat for him and carried her up the river, to become afterwards a Federal gun-boat.
Wing came back and professed to be an ardent Southerner, but is believed to have been a Northern spy. He seduced the wife of one of our city merchants, a young lady only twenty-one years of age, and who is the mother of an infant child.
This lady, is considered on all hands one of the most beautiful of all

A splendid prize.
--An agent in this city of A. Belmont, of New York, has been purchasing, for some time past, a large quantity of tobacco for his principal, which is said now to be in store in this city, to the handsome amount of three thousand hogsheads, worth, in round numbers, $350,000. The agents of Lincoln have been very active for some time past in seizing the funds and property of Southern men in the Northern cities.
We are rejoiced that the Confederate Government have, in this magnificent lot of tobacco, a fund sufficient to cover a very large portion of the recent Yankee confiscations at the North.
Auguste Belmont is a well known banker in Wall street — the same whom Secretary Chase recently sent over to London to attempt a negotiation of the Federal war loan, and who met with a signal failure. A. Belmont is also the intimate friend and financial agent of Gen. Fremont, and is doubtless a sympathizer in that officer's brutal measures in Missouri.

A battle Imminent
--The latest arrivals from Columbus, Mo., says the Memphis Appeal, of the 17th, declare that a battle must be fought there very soon; perhaps to-day.
On Saturday at four o'clock in the evening, two Lincoln gun-boats, the Conestoga and Lexington came down, and taking a position above Columbus, so as to have the bluff between them and the Confederate's battery--they threw four shells, one of them when over the town bursted in the air; had it fallen before bursting the effects probably would have been terrible; another fell in the river; another bursted over Thompson's camp, and the fourth fell below the camp.
We learn from a Columbus correspondent that on Sunday the steam boat Grampus, commanded by the Capt.
Marsh Miller, was fired into by the enemy's pickets; several balls passed through the pilot house, and two struck very near Captain Miller, but he and the rest escaped injury.

Lincoln's Instructions to Fremont.
--President Lincoln transmitted a letter to General Fremont on the 12th inst., on the subject of his recent proclamation.
He says:
"Assuming that you, being on the ground, could better judge of the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamationPresident Lincoln transmitted a letter to General Fremont on the 12th inst., on the subject of his recent proclamation.
He says:
"Assuming that you, being on the ground, could better judge of the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamation of the 30th of August I perceive several objections to it, the particular objection being the clauses relative to the confiscation of property and the liberation of slaves.
It is objectionable on account of its non-conformity to the act of Congress.
On the 8th of August last I wrote you expressing a wish that that clause should
The enemy on our coast.
--The Franklin (St.
Mary) Register, of the 12th instant, says:
From almost every quarter we hear of the doings of the enemy on our seaboard.
From the mouths of the Mississippi to the Sabine on the West, a perfect cordon of Lincoln cruisers may be seen or heard of, and from which a detachment of men now and then make a descent on shore and supply themselves with fresh provisions, vegetables, &c. What is every body's business is most generally nobody's business, and ere long we would not be surprised to hear of another Hatteras affair somewhere on our Southern coast.
