s and shouted "good bye." There were several women on board the Express, who came out to gratify their Yankee curiosity, and they, as well as their male companions, seemed struck with amazement at the scene. Two war steamers were lying off Newport News Point, but their names could not be discerned. The Northampton started on her return trip at 8 A. M., and on the way the company visited the Confederate war steamer Patrick Henry, where they were courteously received and entertained by Commander Tucker. The crew of the steamer were put through the naval drill, which was a novel exhibition, and afforded much pleasure to the visitors. The Northampton arrived at her wharf at Rocketts at 6 o'clock Monday evening. One of the released prisoners, in a letter to a comrade left behind, alludes in terms of high praise to the kind treatment received from Capt. Hicks on the way down, as well as the good fare provided. If these men carry to their homes the emotions with which they seemed to eme

heavy peals of thunder. The engagement was plainly seen by some persons from the tops of high buildings, &c. and was carefully noted by the signal officer. It is asserted that one of the Federal frigates is very badly damaged, a number of balls having struck her hull, rigging, &c. The Patrick Henry, apparently satisfied with the result of the engagement, costly withdrew and proceeded up the river, when the gun-boats followed, and the Patrick Henry finding that she was pursued, turned round and dashed after them; but they quickly changed their course, and succeeded in making good their retreat beyond the range of the well-aimed shots of the gallant Capt.Tucker. The "Queen Sisters, of Charleston," will on Wednesday night, give an entertainment at the Opera House, for the benefit of the Norfolk Humans Association The house will no doubt be densely crowded. The weather is getting stormy again. The wind is blowing freshly, and the air is cool enough for the season.

y of the enemy's chosen infantry, and a sharp encounter ensued. The enemy occupying a sheltered position, behaved with unusual spirit, obliging Lt. Col. Lee, whose horse was killed under him early in the action, to dismount a portion of his command to dislodge him. This was done under fire with coolness, and resulted in the enemy's total rout--seven being killed on the spot, and ten captured, including a Lieut. and 1st Sergt., three of whom were wounded.--Col. Lee's loss was 1 killed, (private Tucker, Co. A,) and two wounded, one of the latter the lamented Chichester, having since died. This affair occurred in sight of the enemy's encampments, and caused alarm throughout their line. On the 26th ult., Col. R. Ransom, Jr., 1st North Carolina cavalry, with a portion of his regiment, came upon a column of the enemy's cavalry near Vienna; and although he had the disadvantage in numbers, charged him with so much spirit and skill as to put to ignominious flight the entire column — the

defilement of their own homes, with the single exception of Benedict Arnold, who was a prodigy of virtue in comparison with these Southern traitors. As for the foreign General, with the unpronounceable name, who was associated with Thomas at Somerset, and who is said to have risen from the position of porter to that of General, we consider it very doubtful whether any such exchange of avocations can be properly designated as promotion. An honest German porter at a hotel is a much more respectable character than a Yankee General of an invading army, especially an army of Ohioan, who, according to Judge Tucker, have nothing beneath them on the face of the earth but their own swine. It is of such materials, however, that the great bulk of the invading army is composed. At least two hundred thousand foreigners are arrayed under the banner of Lincoln, and endeavoring to subjugate a country which gave them refuge from despotism, and to enslave a people who were their best friends.
