British naval movements. --By an arrival at Wilmington, N. C., from Bahama, the Journal learns that the British steam sloop-of-war Styx appeared off the bar of Nassau, New Providence, on the 20th ult., with dispatches from England for the Admiral of the West India fleet. The Admiral had left for Bermuda and the Styx proceeded immediately to that point. Captain Cave, of the Styx, brought information of the fight at Fort Sumter and of the blockade of the harbor of Charleston by the Northern fleet. It is probable that a large portion of the British West India fleet will be ordered to our Southern coast, to protect the interests of British commerce in these disturbed times.

Fire at Fairfield. --The Mobile (Ala.)

ompensated themselves in some measure by their rapid sale for the comparatively small demand for general literature. Messrs. West & Johnston, of 145 Main street, have besides a large collection of military books any quantity of Hardee's Tactics, Army Regulations C. S. A., Volunteers' Hand-Books, &c., which are eagerly sought after, not only by people here, but by those thousands of miles distant. The war fever may be judged by the fact that within the last six months 20,000 copies of the above works have been sold by them. They are now publishing Col. Gilham's manual for volunteers and militia, and will have 10,000 copies ready by the 20th inst. The work is being done in Charleston, S. C., and the style shows that the South had no need ever to have relied on the North to get its printing done. A work on Light Artillery (from Gilham's) is being also issued by this house, which will prove most convenient for reference to parties engaged in that important arm of the public service.

A Misapprehension. --Many persons are of the opinion, that under the Governor's proclamation of the 20th inst., the militia of the city will not have to go into camp. All who so think are mistaken; it requires over seven hundred more volunteers to completes the ten per centum required under that proclamation, and unless that number be furnished, the entire militia force of the city will have to go into camp, and that ere the end of this week. We would also call the attention of those who have certificates of exemption, as well as those who think they are exempt from bodily infirmities, to the special order of the commandant of the 179th Regiment in this day's issue.
