parture of those belonging to Messrs. Jas. S. Garrison and Dr. Baker, of Princess Anne. It is generally believed that they have succeeded in getting on board some of the Federal ships. Negroes, however, sometimes leave their homes and take to the woods and swamps, where they remain, with the hope of getting off in small boats, and they often turn up after an absence of weeks and months, and even years. There is some talk about the intention of the enemy to land at some point between Cape Henry and Ocean View, and force a passage across to Kempsville; then taking the road round by Providence and approaching the city by the Great Bridge road, with a view to attack the town and attempt to take the Navy-Yard from some point on the southeast of the city. But little confidence is placed in this report — some contending that the attempted landing will be made to the westward of Portsmouth, not far from Pig Point, whence a large force will strike for the railroad, while the main body w

Chickens 20a33; geese 50a75; eggs 18a25; sweet potatoes $1 per bushel; Irish potatoes 75; scuppernong grapes 8a10 per quart; cabbages 3a6--Other vegetables plentiful and cheap. Fish and oysters in good supply, and sold at reasonable prices. There are a large number of carts and wagons in town to-day, as is usual on Saturdays, from the counties of Norfolk and Princess Anne, and from the neighboring counties of Carolina. Corn, in the grain, has advanced in price in consequence of a scarcity. The market will, however, be fully supplied very shortly. We may quote the article now at 35a40, according to quality. There are no changes in current prices worthy of note. The supply of ordinary building shingles is greatly diminished in consequence of the demand for temporary building purposes — officers' quarters, &c.

Your readers have doubtless ere this heard of the great battle of Wilson Creek, Mo., fought August 10th, between the Federal forces upon the one side, under Gen. Lyon, and the Missourians and Confederates, under Gen. Ben. McCulloch. The Federals had in the engagement near 10,000 men; Lyon, with 6,000 men, (among whom were 4,000 regulars, the remainder Kansas "Jay-Hawkers." Illinoisans, and Iowans,) attacked us upon the North and West, and Col. Siegel, with 3,500 Hessians, attacked us upon the South. They took possession of every commanding point during the night, an

But little confidence is placed in this report — some contending that the attempted landing will be made to the westward of Portsmouth, not far from Pig Point, whence a large force will strike for the railroad, while the main body will try to fight its way to Portsmouth and the Navy- Yard, while the gun-boats will open upon the fortifications at Sewell's Point and other strongholds on the roads below the city.--But all this is mere surmise. The movements of the enemy are carefully watched, and it is quite certain that he will not succeed, should he ever make the attempt, in getting possession of Norfolk, the Navy-Yard, or any location within twenty miles of this place.

They took possession of every commanding point during the night, and at daylight began pouring a heavy fire of grape and shell into camp, while as yet we were half of us asleep, the others cooking breakfast. Our men were immediately ordered to form, which they did gallantly — some of the regiments, however, under a most galling fire, the enemy havi

ce of the demand for temporary building purposes — officers' quarters, &c. I have information just from the coast.--There is nothing of importance to communicate. A strict look-out is kept to prevent the escape of slaves, as well as to watch the Federal ships that continue to prowl about, though now, for some reason, keeping at a respectable distance — probably on account of the masked batteries. I have heard of no slaves escaping since the departure of those belonging to Messrs. Jas. S. Garrison and Dr. Baker, of Princess Anne. It is generally believed that they have succeeded in getting on board some of the Federal ships.

Gen. Huger and his officers are prompt, vigilant, and active in preparing to receive the vandals. The only cause of fear is that they will not be in a sufficient hurry to pay us a friendly visit, and that our gallant men will have to wait a considerable time longer before they will have the pleasure of crushing down the ranks of the cowardly hordes of Yankees, who so greatly desire to desolate the towns, villages, and country places along our coast.
