It is reported that tbs Z nave pickets ware attacked, and after several rounds the South erners retired, leaving six of their number captured. [This ia very definite and vary aatislactory J 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 by 8.000 men. When she left, it was under stood tbsl Norfolk would be attacked on Mon day, 27th. Th* Southerners were confident that the place was impregnable. The Bridge connecting Old Point Comfort and Hampton had been burned by tbe South erners. New York. May 2*.—A Zouave Colonel, with $24,000. raised for his regiment, has been miss- ng for ten days. [That is not at all surprising.

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.” Dkath or Charlk* Liver —Charles Lever, tbe celebrated novelist, died at Spettia in the latter part of April, lie was a native of Dub lin, and was educated in Paris as a physician lie was the author of some twenty-five vol umes.
