m behind trees, fences, and out of hedges, would go forth the hissing lead that would sound the requiem of more than one. We see their steamers daily going up and down the bay, and occasionally a short distance up the Rappahannock where they recently captured two vessels bound to Fredericksburg, and loaded with wheat and corn, belonging to some citizens living on the river in this county. The cavalry of this county, which has been about three months in service near the Potomac in King George county, have very recently returned to this county, and will have two rifled cannon in a few days, with which they can test their marksmanship at some of Lincoln's steamers.

We have no report direct from Evansport since the affair, it being witnessed by our troops from the hills adjacent to Aquia creek.
