-There were four ships at Newport News, and a propeller going down, we suppose for reinforcements. I discerned, with my glass, a transport coming from the Rip Raps, and another putting out to sea. All the Federal tents in the vicinity of Hampton were struck as soon as the firing commenced. We supposed that our hero Magruder had routed the enemy again." Notwithstanding these statements of our correspondent, and others, equally positive, that we have received, we ascertained from Mr. Charles H. Wynne, of the Howitzer Battalion, who came up in the York River train yesterday, that all was quiet on the Peninsula when he left Yorktown the night before, and that nothing worthy of note had occurred.

Before any serious damage was done, the fire was extinguished. At half-past 1 o'clock, another fire alarm was sounded, which, upon investigation, turned out to be the burning of a chimney attached to the printing establishment of Mr. Charles H. Wynne, on the corner of Main and Fourteenth streets.
