It may be, however, that the telegraph com pany did not furnish the dispatches quoted to the “Intelligencer.” We by no means insinu ate that that journal manufactured the said dis patches.

Aug. 28-tde GREEN B. HAYGOOD. | BY TELEGRAPH ) FOR THE “ SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.’’ Richmond, Sept 16—Hon. L. P. Walker, Secretary of War, has resigned, and it is un derstood to day that Attorney-General Benja min will attend tempcrarily to the duties of the War Department. Several names have been mentioned as successors to Gen. Walker, and among them Bishop Polk and others. The Norfolk Day Book of Saturday reports a naval engagement on James River on the 13th inst. The Confederate steamer Patrick Henry dropped down the river near Newport News, for the purpose of using the Federal vessels, Savannah, a large aloop-of-war, and the gun boat Daylight, as targets, to try the range of her guns. The Patrick Henry opened fire and the Fed eralists replied. The Daylight advanced, when she received a broadside which forced her to retreat. Advancing again, she was met in like man ner, and again forced to retreat. The engage ment lasted half an hour, and was only dis continued when it was dark, and the Patrick Henry retired out of James River. Passengers by the cars to-night report that a sharp engagement took place on Friday last near Arlington Heights. A detachment of the Washington Artillery and a portion es Win der's Regiment attacked Hall’s house, and burnt it. The Federal loss was four killed, and many wounded. On the Confederate side there was none injured. The Fairfax Court House correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, under date of Sept. 12, says that an action took place on the 14th instant, near Munson’s Hill, in which the Washington Artillery, with two rifled cannon and two howitzers, supported by three compa nies of infantry from Kemper’s regiment of Artillery and Infantry, did great execution.— The Federals were in strong force, but were panic stricken, and fled, leaving their guns, hats, haversacks and coats. The Confederates were 400 strong, and the Federals nearly 4,000. None of the Confederates were hurt, but the Federalists suffered severely. The steamer California goes to Mobile on Tuesday morning. Communication with Mobile, it is appre hended, will not be cut off on the withdrawal of the Confederate troops from Ship Island. The New York Herald of Friday last gives a circumstantial account of the total loss of the steamer Sumter, on the Island of Trindad, on the 20th of August last. It says that one of the crew, who deserted, says that the vessel was probably intentionally wrecked by a dis satisfied crew. The Herald urgently calls on Gen. Dix to de clare martial law throughout Maryland. St. Louis, Sept 16.—F. P. Blair, Jr., is order ed to report himself under arrest, on a gen eral charge of using disrespectful language when attending his superior officer. Gov.

A schooner run the blockade at Galveston from Vera Cruz, having a cargo of coffee. Capt. Morris of the British Navy at Port Roy al says : “We are ordered to observe a strict neu trality, and if the Confederate steamer Sumter was to come here to-morrow, she would receive the same attention paid to U. S ships.’’ A Frenchman who deseited from the Confed erate steamer Yorktown, (on York River near Fortress Monroe) says she is iron plated to pro tect her sides and upper machinery.
