The Minnesota and three other veaeels will
leave Fortress Monroe to-day to auforca the
Blockade of Charleston harbor.
Th# New York “Tribune” says that it Is
probable that «n overwhelming movement
will be made against Richmond within the
next three weeks, by independent reserves, to
be kept at Washington. The position of Har
per’s Ferry, it says, may be secured by flank
movements upon Manassas Gap Junction—the
advance via Harper’s Ferry, or Manassas Gap
to be immediately followed by Butler's ad
vance on Norfolk. It further says that Gsn.
Butler anticipates reaching Richmond by the
20th of July; and that Gen. Patterson will
throw the Massachusetts troops down the
Maryland line, from Chambers burg, direct on
on to Harper’s Ferry.
A traveler from Richmond yesterday, saya
the train on which he traveled brought 1.000
S.’Ulh Carolinians to Manassas Gap; that
there were 5,000 men there, tolerably well
equipped, and protected by extensive en
trenchments.
The New York Times says the inhabitants
of Alexandria are sullen and disaffected. The
fortifications beiog erected there, including
the acqueduct bank, is over a mile long and
Sevan feet high.
Twenty thousand mors troops have been
called to Washington.
Marshal Law has been proclaimed over
Alexandria. Mr. Snowden, of tbe "Union,”
refused to publish the proclamation ; where
upon the printers from the ranks of tbe Abo
litionists, took possession of his office, and are
now publishing Snowden’s paper.
BaLTixoan, May 27.— Tbe steamer Adeline
has arrived, and reports Gen. Butler reinforced

day, 27th.
Th* Southerners were confident that the

The Bridge connecting Old Point Comfort

New York. May 2*.—A Zouave Colonel, with
$24,000. raised for his regiment, has been miss-

Richmond, May HU —It is currently report
ed here that a figtu took place to day between
tbeciiizeus of Hampton and • body of Lin
coln’s mercenaries at that plaoe. [Hampton
is a little vihnge near Norfolk, and a lew miles
from Portress Monroe —Eds ] There is in
tense excitement here to-day. Everybody is
preparing for tbe conflict.
Several hundred Federal troops left Alexan*
drin to day, acting aa scouts, and are now re
connoitring along our lines.
The collision on the Railroad when Colonel
Kershaw’s Regiment was en route for Manas
stss Junes ion, was not as serious as first sup*
paged. It is believed that t..ree persons were
killed, but none of them Carolinians. [We
presume frem this that none of Col. Kershaw’s
command were killed, as they are all South
Carolinians.—Eds.]
A detachment ot Ben McCullough's Ran
gers has arrived. They are a splendid look
ing set of men. It is expected that the main
body of the Rangers will be here in a few
days, when the Zouaves. •• Pet Lambs,” and
Short Boys, will be attended to.
A Regiment from Tennessee leaves here lo
night for "the seat of war.”
There ia the greatest activity in mMitary
circles and extraordinary movemeotsof troops
have taken place to-day.
Richmond, May 26.—The Washington Star
of ycsteiuay evening, reports an engagement
at Harper’s Ferry on Saturday, and states that
the Federal troops were repulsed with great
loss. If ibeStar ia correct, our gallant troops
achieved a brilliant victory, and routed the
enemy with great slaughter.
A battle occurred at Hampton, neat' Fortress
Monroe, to day. It is reported that tbe Fed*
eral forces sustained heavy losses io killed
aud wounded, while the loss of Virginians is
comparativelv small. The Federal troops re
treated towards Fortress Monroe.
A Good Hit.—The New York “Tribune”
boasts that Northern soldiers will “ fight like
devils ” The Charleston "Courier” replies
that it has no doubt of it, for "Chess fallen
spirits, according lo the Bible, are all eow-
ards; for St. James says, Renat the devil t and
he will flee from you.”
