d out one of the plates 10 inches in thickness, and, at the same time, carried away the back fastenings.-- The second shot was fired from an ordinary 100-pounder Armstrong, with a solid projectile weighing 110 lbs. This struck the battery at another point, but without doing equal damage with the first shot, yet making a breach cleae annoyance was disabled, and thirteen men were found lying dead near it. Another piece belonging to the enemy was struck five times in a very short period. The Armstrong gun, he said, was, in fact, the finest weapon ever invented. Though there is some difference of opinion in the Board of Admiralty, the preference for rifledrrior and the Black Prince have again undergone modification, and that a larger proportion of rifled guns are introduced; but the above is as the order stands at present.

If he ht the Almighty will nerve my arm to avenge him a hundred-fold. Captain Ashby had over forty shots fired at him, and his escape was miraculou from pursuing the enemy.

t Terrific fight between thirteen of Colonel Wallace's men and seventy-five Confederate troops. A correspondent in Winchester, Virginia, has forwarded the Baltimore American the following account of the skirmish between the pickets of the Federal and Confederate armies near Romney. It is an extract from a letter addressed to Hon. J. M. Mason, at Winchester, by a gentleman in Col. McDonald's regiment, dated Headquarters, 4 A. M., Romney, June 27, 1861. Yesterday (Wednesday) Richard Ashby left with a portion of his command, twenty-one strong, from Captain T.

losed doors, and their action is not therefore certainly known, but as delegates to the Southern Confederacy were immediately sent, no doubt is entertained that an act of secession was passed. Gen. Douglass H. Cooper, agent of the United States, for the Chickasaws and Choctaws, resigned some time since, has been adopted as a citizen, and is appointed Commander-in-chief of all their forces. Gen. Cooper is a Mississippian, and a relative of President Davis.

I must enumerate what she has done, unaided by the County Court. 1st She has a company denominated the "Taylor Greys," Capt. William R. Aylett, numbering seventy or eighty. 2d. An artillery company, Capt. Carter, numbering 80 or 86. 3d. Some 15 or 20 with Lee's Rangers, (now at Ashland); and 4thly. Some in two or three companies that have left Richmond. There are only 300 mustering men in this county, and considering the "slow coach" (the County Court, I mean,) we've had to contend with, King William has done well.
