A Drill of the Patrick Henry Rifles took place on Saturday at Jones' Cross Roads, in Hanover county, distant about 20 miles from this city. A flag of the Southern Confederacy was raised.

A single ball from the land battery, striking the side of one of his vessels, instantly sunk her with all aboard. In 1801, the French, with three frigates and six thousand men, were beaten off from the poorly constructed works of Porto Ferrairo, which had a garris
