The latest News
It was currently reported last evening that fighting had commended at Newport News. Intelligence reached us by way of Petersburg that heavy firing had been heard in that direction; and if so, we suppose this must have been communicated to Petersburg from Suffolk. We have no particulars. The Norfolk Argus learns that the Federal troops at Newport News struck their tents on Saturday and marched up the peninsula. By the York River train we learn that heavy firing was heard from the direction of Gloucester Point yesterday, before the cars left West Point for Richmond; but whether caused by an engagement, or by the troops trying the range of their guns, was not known. It is, we presume, all conjecture, and we are very much disposed to regard the rumor of a land engagement as very doubtful.
