We hear that Baylor, of Norfolk, son of our former Sheriff, is an officer at Old Point, and declines to resign, though urged to do so by his friends. But all such instances of a preference for what is deemed the stronger power are not to be dwelt upon. The power opposed to us cannot subdue us. Our cause is just. We are doubly armed.

C., on the 2d April with an assorted cargo, including a lot of gun carriages, for citizens of North Carolina, and put into the Elizabeth River on the 24th, short of provisions, &c. She hoisted a signal of distress and the steam-tug Young America, belonging to Messrs. Baker, started to her relief from Norfolk. A large launch carrying a swivel, was also sent to her from the U.
