e strait for such weapons. The Persia, off Cape Race, brings news from Europe to the 15th instant, four days later. The London Times ridicules, editorially, the new passport regulations of the United States, and says that England's only complaint in the matter is, that the Cabinet in Washington treated Lord Lyons discourteously in leaving him to learn of the new arrangements from the newspapers. The news is confirmed that Span is to join in the Anglo-French expedition to Mexico. The papers of Turin and Genoa believe the report that Garibaldi had been offered and had accepted a commission in the Union army. English troops were preparing to embark for Canada. Mr. Russell, of the London Times, seems now to entertain a favorable opinion of Gen. McClellan, and the Federal operations. It was said that the new steamer City of New York had fifty-five cases of rifles for the use of our Government on board, but the agents of the line denied that she carried any "contraband of war."

et firing on the Potomac — health of the army. From our army under Gen. Beauregard we have a report that the enemy in strong force attacked and drove in our pickets in front of Munson's Hill, on Thursday evening, occasioning us the loss of two killed and two wounded slightly, while the Yankees suffered severely. Our men soon rallied, and being reinforced, in their turn drove back the enemy, and occupied their original ground. Notwithstanding the orders of both Gen. Johnston and Gen. McClellan, picket firing is continually going on, resulting in the occasional killing and wounding of men on both sides. With the exception of picket fights, everything remains perfectly quiet in that section. The health of the men is generally good, and the number of sick has rapidly decreased in the past week or two. Rumors of a speedy forward movement have obtained very general credit among the troops, and have had a fine effect in hastening the convalescence of the sick, and all look up

Northern items. --From our special files from the North we gather the following items. In order to satisfy public curiosity, we will say that our Northern files arrived by the "contraband line:" The colors of the Highland Regiment of New York, Colonel Stevens, were returned to them on Monday with befitting ceremonies. The colors, it will be recollected, were taker from them at the time of their insubordination or scrutiny by order of General McClellan. Two 68-pounders intended for the frigate Pensacola are on their way to this city from Charlestown. They are of the Dahlgren style, smooth bore, and weigh about four and a half tons each. An elegant $240 sword is soon to be presented to Captain Dericke, of the Duryea Fire Zouaves, stationed in Baltimore. Another beautiful sword is to be presented to Colonel Paine, of the Fourth Wisconsin Volunteers, by the Jefferson County Guards. It is stated that the sale of arms in Cincinnati has fallers, off largely. No

forces. [from our own Correspondent.] Fairfax, Sept. 26, 1861. A skirmish took place last night, near Lewinsville, in which the enemy were again defeated and driven back to their entrenchments. Word was brought in the evening that McClellan was advancing with considerable force for the purpose, it was supposed, of throwing up batteries at Lewinsville, and of fortifying himself there. A body of men, consisting of four regiments — Kershaw's South Carolina, the Ninth Georgia, and twpossible to conjecture.--It was probably slight, as the artillery was little used, and the abolition soldiers took very good care to keep as far from the infantry as possible. From the first indications, and from the large force brought out by McClellan, it was supposed that a general engagement would take place; but he either did not intend it, or changed his plan of operations on the field. These are the statements current in Fairfax, but I shall get further particulars in the morning f

fortifications they have constructed. These works are very strongly built, and heavy siege guns, howitzers, sea coast howitzers and rifles are mounted on them. McClellan positively asserts that there shall be no more defeats, and swears as terribly as Queen Anne's "army in Flanders" that there shall be no more Bull Run affairs. The people generally have confidence in McClellan's bravery and military knowledge.--He frequently rides along the outposts and makes reconnaissance in person. He is popular with the soldiers — even with those who are opposed to the war.--It is believed that there are no general works on Munson's Hill, and that the object of retaiguns, as his battery was also re-placed immediately. Every time firing is heard on this side the river the citizens flock to the hills with their glasses to see McClellan whip the "rebels." Generally, the city was very quiet. That is all Mr. Carver could tell, but I venture to assert that if "your own" could be dropped in Washing
