I will, however, give you a few items which may perhaps be agreeable to your numerous readers. We were reinforced on Saturday by the arrival of two companies, (Capt. Bell and Capt. Blodgett,) rifles and muskets, numbering 192 men, from Augusta, Ga ; and also, on yesterday, (Sunday morning,) by two companies more from the same place, rifles, numbering 92, commanded by Capt. W. C. Muegrove, of the Burke Guards, and Capt.--. They are all eager for a fight, and willing to sacrifice the life of each man in defence of Southern rights, if required. We have not as yet been attacked, or had occasion to measure arms or exchange shots with our enemy. Our market is bountifully supplied with green peas, strawberries, soft crabs, and other luxuries of the season, and all selling at moderate price
