sacola, is that there will be no battle at all at Pickens, or at least that it is not now the intention of the Confederate authorities to attack it. Arkansas was by unanimous vote admitted a State of the Southern Confederacy, and its delegates to the Southern Congress. They are R. W. Johnson, of Pine Bluff; A. Rust, of Little Rock; A. H. Garland, of Little Rock; W. W. Watkins, of Carrollton; H. F. Thomasson, of Van Buren,--N. Y. Times, May 26. Three merchants of Baltimore, Jerome A. Pendergrast, James Whiteford, and George McGowan, were arrested charged with riotous conduct in obstructing the track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on the 19th of April, while the Massachusetts troops were en route to Washington. They were under indictment by the Grand Jury, and were admitted to bail.--N. Y. Times, May 26. The military department of Virginia, to embrace eastern Virginia to the summit of the Blue Ridge, and the States of North Carolina and South Carolina, was created;

ly returned by the batteries, and for nearly a half hour the action continued. It was found that but one gun of the steamer could reach the battery, the gans of which being heavier easily reached the former, and several shot struck her. During the affair the most intense excitement prevailed, and hundreds of soldiers ascended the ramparts and roof of the Hygeia Hotel, for the purpose of looking at the scene. The Lane returned in an hour after the action, and made an official report to Com. Pendergrast of the squadron. Lieut. Duncan, of the Harriet Lane, states that the fight was pretty hot. The steamer threw several shells into the battery with much accuracy. The battery was well served, the damage to the cutter having been inflicted with a 34-pounder rifled cannon. It was at first thought that no battery existed at the place where the fight occurred, and the Harriet Lane was sent to ascertain if the report was true. She found out that one did exist, and that seven guns were moun

ds, (rendezvous Abingdon.) He was in a lucrative practice of law, but has given up all for our just and glorious cause, which every true, patriotic man will do now, if he deserves not the name of man. "Who would be a coward now, Let him basely die." M. A letter from our regular Norfolk correspondent, (which arrived somewhat behind time,) says that the British barque Volant and the Swedish brig Tyres, which were stopped by the blockade in Hampton Roads, and afterwards reported by Pendergrast to have sailed for New York, are probably lying at anchor in Lynnhaven Bay; sent there, no doubt, in order to be out of sight of those whom the blockheads expected would be sent to look after them. The letter also alludes to the fact that the troops at Fortress Monroe have taken possession of wells of water in the neighborhood. The writer believes the real object is-- To encroach, little by little, in two different directions, towards Richmond, with a view of possessing themselves

ck.--Twenty-two are at this time inmates of our hospital. The two brothers of the young man, Smith, who died in Portsmouth a short time since, are both lying sick. They are properly cared for by the patriotic ladies of that city. I am glad to know an arrangement has been made whereby our soldiery at the various points will be allowed the benefits of religious worship. This is a commendable move, and one that must result in great good to the military. It is reported that Mrs. Pendergrast declines living with her husband, if he does not immediately resign. I cannot vouch for the truth of this, but hope it is so. Too much credit cannot be awarded to the devoted ladies of our city. Since the arrival of the first company, their hands have been busy, and in no instance have their hearts been reckless in yielding to the substantial wants of those who have come from afar to defend our land. Truly are they ministering angels upon earth, and all praise is due them.

or in the same manner. It will certainly be carried out, for the generosity of this people knows no bounds, especially when gallantry and public service are to be signalized. The rumors about the capture of the ship Argo, at Fort Monroe, recently, loaded with tobacco at City Point, are confirmed to-day by dispatches received from reliable sources at Norfolk. The vessel has been sent North as a prize. It is to be hoped that our citizens will expose nothing more to seizure by Pirate Pendergrast, as it appears no flag is to be respected. Let us keep what we have at home, instead of filling the pockets and the stomachs of Northern plunderers. The company of free negroes, under the command of Captain Finn, who have been engaged at Norfolk for several weeks, returned this afternoon, to spend the holidays with their wives and sweethearts. They will go back next week. It did one good to look on their happy, joyous faces, on which not a care of any kind has left its imprint. T
