bove them as at any time, if we had men in charge of public affairs capable of handling there resources. There, and there alone, the contrast lies between ourselves and our adversaries. Union troops near Norfolk. The New York Times states that the Union force at and between Norfolk and Suffolk amounts to between 8,000 and 9,000 men, consisting of the 3d and 4th New York, the 1st Delaware, and the 31st illinois infantry regiments, and the 11th Pennsylvania cavalry, all stationed at Suffolk. The 13th Illinois has seen severe service, and the 11th Pennsylvania cavalry, under Lieutenant Colonel Spear, is spoken of very highly. In addition to these, there were near Suffolk the New York Mounted Ritles, Capt. Howard's battery of the 4th United States artillery, and the three regiments composing Gen. Ferry's brigade, which has just arrived from the Peninsula, where it formed part of General McClellan's late army. At Norfolk there were the 99th New York and a Wisconsin regiment.

The battle in Maryland--McClellan again defeated. The reports with reference to the battle fought in Maryland on Sunday and Monday very as to particulars, but concur in the statement that the enemy was repulsed after Gen. Hill was reinforced by to the engagement is, that the fight commenced between Gen. D. H. Hills's division, 15,000 strong and the divisions of McClellan, Burnside, and Sieged, amounting in all to some 80,000 men.
