"Things are Progressing." --The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, in an editorial upon the events of the day, says: As soon as Virginia and North Carolina are actually members of the Confederacy, they will be ready to show that they are live members. Things are progressing, if not with telegraphic speed, at least as fast as they can be expected to get along, and before Lincoln is ready to march his men in buckram, as programmed by the New York Tribune and Herald, we rather think that his heroes will find the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the James river, and Roanoke, to resemble Jordan in the important particular of being "a hard road to travel."
From Old Point. --Mr. Decormis, formerly a resident of this place, but latterly of Baltimore, came down as far as Fort Monroe in the steamer Georgianna on Sunday morning, where he was detained a prisoner for twenty-four hours. He states that the authorities at Old Point took the mails destined for that post and sent what was due here back to Baltimore. Wm. Hopkins, Esq., former deputy collector at this port, was also on board the Georgianna, as escort to two young ladies who had been North, and were anxious to return to their parents in this city; and some words passing between him and Purser Bradford, of the Navy, who came on board at Old Point, the latter was summarily knocked down by the former. --Norfolk Herald,
