Warlike news.

--The enemy continue to keep up their warfare on the Princess Anne Cavalry, to the great annoyance of the seine haulers, without effecting any earthly object On Wednesday afternoon the Lincoln steamer Quaker City again paid a visit to the beach between the Pleasure House and the inlet, being attracted thither by the appearance of a Confederate flag which the cavalry company had hoisted to a pole, and blazed away at it right manfully, or as fiercely as a wicked brute of a dog would snap at a stick that was poked at him. Finding, however, that they could ‘"hurt nobody,"’ and that it was useless to waste their ammunition, she ceased firing and left.--Norfolk Herald.
