ry — Reappointment — the equinoctial — movements of troops — Medical Suggestions, &c. Norfolk, Sept. 19 The Federal steamer Octarara went to Craney Island yesterday under a flag of truce, having on board several ladies and children from Baltimore, returning to their homes in the South. They arrived here last evening in the steamer Arrow. Among the letters recently received here by flag of truce, was one from a prisoner at the Rip Raps, from which $20 had been stolen by some of Lincoln's conscientious officials,--The money was intended for the prisoner's wife. Mr. Henry W. Herbert has been re-appointed Master Mason at the Navy-Yard.--Mr. Herbert is a very competent and skillful workman, and is well qualified for the duties of his position. He superintended the erection of the Washington Monument, which adds so greatly to the attractions of the beautiful grounds around the Capitol at Richmond. Mr.--Snead, who has long been an employee at the Navy-Yard, has been

Lincoln boats here. --A steamboat loaded with cannon, muskets and men, landed at our wharf at the foot of Third street last evening. It was from Cincinnati, and is the flag boat of an extensive fleet of steamers and barges. Some ten other steamers, each towing ten barges, are in the river above, and will reach here in few hours. The expedition was purchasing chain cable and anchors in this city yesterday, and all things combined, seemed to indicate the making of a bridge across the Ohio or Mississippi as formidable as that on which Xerxes contemplated his marvelous deeds. Some of the boats are loaded with men, some with cannon, and some with chain cable. In addition to those barges, some thirty or forty barges went through the canal yesterday so that the whole of the barges must number 150--quite enough to bridge the Ohio, or to be sunk in the Mississippi.--Louisville Courier,Sept. 15.

Northern items through Southern sources. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 19. --The Louisville Courier of the 16th has the following items: There is great activity in the Northern Navy-Yards. New vessels are building and old ones being repaired rapidly. About one hundred families have left Paducah, Ky., since its occupation by Lincoln's hirelings. Houses in Louisville have been searched for arms. A fleet of steamers and barges arrived at Louisville on the 15th. The barges are to be used as bridges.

d, however, to strike a blow in the face of the enemy before returning, they charged a distance of two miles over a boggy and broken road, upon their pickets, capturing several, together with three ambulances and a number of arms and knapsacks, and returning unscathed to camp. Among the prisoners was an old college chum of the Beaufort Troop's Commissary, who recognized his Southern friend that was immediately, and a traitor Virginia, resident near Brentsville. From them we learn that Lincoln has, or will have, sixteen thou- sand pieces of artillery and fifty thousand cavalry wherewith to wipe out the rebels from the memory of ment. But supposing the horses to be shortly forthcoming, many are altogether unable to imagine where the riders will be found. For myself, I have not the shadow of a doubt but that every man of the "Grand Army" would have mounted a steed after four o'clock on the 21st of July. But be that as it may, if they will only ride them over the Potomac, to test

Fremont: Washington, D. C., Sept. Mr. Lincoln to Gen. Fremont: Washington, D. C., Sept. 11, 1861. Maj. Gen. J. C.

Assuming that you, upon the ground, could better judge of the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seto the Louisville Courier: Chicago, September 10.--The Tribune, of this morning, contains a severe article on President Lincoln's letter to Fremont, saying it takes away the penalty of rebellion, and leaves the war a mere opportunity for mutua passes through here this morning.

o N. E., rendering it impossible for her to enter, whereupon the schooner was anchored and the Captain and crew, with most of their goods and chattels, came ashore in their yawl. About the time they got ashore, the vandals had made sail on the Pender, and fired a salute in honor of their victory. Captain Keough expresses his gratitude to Mr. Nixon and other gentlemen on the Sound for their very kind assistance and generous hospitality. The schooner, owned principally, we believe, by the captain, might be worth some two thousand dollars. It is evident that there is a Yankee armed vessel, bark rigged — whether a privateer or in the direct employment of Lincoln, we hardly know — browsing along our coasts, making false signals to decay off pilots; and committing all manner of felonies and other misdeeds, and this is fully confirmed by our correspondence from the camps. The same bark is said to have been off Camp Wyatt this morning, bobbing around for more corn vessels

The Dahlgren. --The inventor, Com. Dahlgren, commands the Navy-Yard at Washington, and is making strong efforts to fit out a great naval expedition, which, it is very likely, will first impinge on Ship Island and the adjacent Mississippi coast. The State of Mississippi has a respectable force-under the command of Brig. Gen. Dahlgren, the brother of the Commodore. The latter is manufacturing guns for Lincoln, while the General has furnished the drawing for which the Dahlgren is now cast in New Orleans, Greths, Natchez. Memphis, and elsewhere. Brother against brother; but the Mississippi brother does not seek out the brother in Washington to destroy him; it is the Northern brother who pursues with deadly aim the Southern brother.

o reason to suppose that they will vary much from those of ten years ago. It is due to the Northern born population of the South to say that the great majority of them are as patriotic and reliable in all respects as any of our people. Indeed, it would be signal injustice and wrong to question the fidelity and loyalty of men who have given all the proofs and hostages that men can give of sincerity and devotion. Because there are some citizens of Northern birth who evidently sympathize with the Lincoln Administration, it no more follows that the mass are untrue than it does that the native-born population of the South are unsound, because the Scotts, Crittendens, Gutheries, Carliles, Pierponts, and others less audacious in their treason, have proved traitors to their country. Some of the best and most efficient officers and soldiers in the Southern army are natives of the North, whilst others are contributing by every means in their power to the efficiency of the national defence.

During the last Presidential election he supported Douglas for the Presidency, as a member of the Virginia Democratic Convention, and afterwards was chosen one of ten district electors. After the election of Lincoln, he firmly adhered to the Union, advocating its preservation and maintenance by constitutional means; and it was only when President Lincoln declared war against the seceded States that he sided with the South, preferring rather to become an exiPresident Lincoln declared war against the seceded States that he sided with the South, preferring rather to become an exile a third time, and to abandon property, family and a host of warm friends, than to become untrue to the great cause for which he had striven all his life, the principle of self-government. He repaired to Montgomery in May last, and offered his services to the Government in any capacity in which they might employ them, either military, civil, or diplomatic. He was most kindly received, and offered a colonelcy; and when he accepted it, an authority, signed by the Secretary of War was hand
