Tnit Defeat of Tyler.—The Js'ew Yoik
Times, on the strength of intelligence received
by way of Cincinnati, accepts as highly proba
ble, the report already given ofthe surprise and
defeat ofthe Federal forces under Col, Tyler In
the Kanawha valley. The Times fears that that
Important district of Western Virginia will short
ly revert to the Confederates. “Salt,” says the
Times, ‘‘isselling in Richmond and Petersburg
at sls a sack. The Confederates must have this
necessary article, and it seems that they know
where and how to get what they want—lead in
Missouri and salt in the Kanawha.” The Times
regards the destruction of Tyler’s command as
possibly but the beginning of an onset that shall
sweep every vestige of the Union army from that
part of Virginia.

Monti.k Races.—We learn from the Mobile
Advertiser, that owing to the war, the Magnolia
Jockey Club have withdrawn the programme
for the annual fall meeting of iSf.I, Should
peace he restored, or other circumstances war
rant it, the Spring meeting of 1302 will come

—***&- *
Vs- The last mail from London (by the city
of Washington) brings the response to the ad
vices from this side to the 31st July. The Lon
don Times’ money article thus refers ro the N.
York private letters receive ! by the Cunarder of
that date :
‘•'The mercantile letters from New Yoik by the
present packet describe great despondency, ow
ing to the impression produced by the had man
agement and inefficiency shown at Dull Run.
People, it is said, are losing confidence in the
Government, and another defeat would bring a
large number oyer to the policy oi allowing se
cession to take place pcaceab y. Some f>ersons
now express a belief that the North wiii have
to acknowledge the South before the end of the
year, but the real tendency of events seems to
bo more and more in the direction of the stata of
affairs that will reader both parties glad <fa
compromise. The national troops are stated to
have evacuated Harper’s Ferry and Hampton,
and much anxiety was evidently felt for the safe
ty of Washington. The opinion was, however,
that it would be great mistake on the part ol
the Confederates to attack that city. If defeat
ed they would lose ail the prestige gained at Bull
Kun : and if successful they would again unite
the North against them as one man: while, if
they abstain from needlessly arousing animosity,
and remain on the defensive, the North, it is as
sorted, will soon divide into two parties, an event
which would greatly interfere, not only wi:h en
listment, but with the raising of money.'’
A Bolu Stbike of the Enemy.—The enemy
are pressing upon our lines in force, and are seiz
ing u- jn every hill or wood that will command
any portion of our camp. They evidently medi
tate some bold stroke, end that it will fie both
skillful and bold we have no reason to doubt, in
view of what they have already done. Raw
troops are a. nothing against entrenchments,
while behind them they are almost as good as
veterans. This was our weakness at Bull Run :
it will be our strength in the ensuing fight. But
it is useless to speculate. If we lose Washing
ton, it will be worse to us than a dozen Bull
Runs. If wo beat the enemy the tide of war
will have turned against them forever. The
next few days are big with the fate of the Great
Republic.—A. 3 . World, Aug. 2‘d.
Selling Oi t. —A Utah correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican says, that Fort Crittenden
had been disposed of by auction, and that almost
everything had been sold to the civilian?, f>r
next to nothing. Property which cost five mil
lions of dollars, ha not brought one hundred
thousand.

The Enlrenclnneats at Munson’s ilill.
The correspondent of the Washing!an Star
writes :
Near Hunters Chapel, l a., Aug 30.
I write to give you some pailieulars as to the
position of the Confederate forces in this vicin
ity. From a hill near S. B. Corbett’s barn, not
far from here, a gocu view of Munson's hill can
be obtained. Yesterday, to observers with good
field glasses, great activity was noticeable there,
a large force of infantry and cavalry boing vis
ible, as if they were parading for our inspection.
In the afternoon they had a drill, which, but for
the damp foggy weather, would have been aa
interesting sight. 'An it was, their marching,
counter marching, Ac., could be distinctly seen.
They are throwing up entrenchments on the slope
of the Bill—apparently all around it —and a
largo force was at work yesterday.
' Man /of your readers are no doubt familiar
with the high, bold, open appearance of the
hi!!, crowned w ith a few straggling trees A tall
pole has been erected on the highest point, and
on that pole, a Secession flag is flying at least
45 feet above the tops of the highest trees. The
three stripes arc plain y seen. A smaller flag is
visible to the left. No doubt these flags can be
seen from the dome of the Capitol in Washington
with a good glass, a? Munson’s Ilill is distinctly
visible with the naked eye from that point.

The Blockade a Farce.— Thu Ptnsaeola
Observer says :
The inefficiency of Hie blockade ul fcoutheru
ports by Lincoln is so notorious, and establish
ed by so many in-tances, tha l : if the British and
French Governments enforce their definition of
a blockade, they will soon declare it no block
ade at a!!. In the last month 1 l vessels Lave
entered the port of Charleston an l 33 the port of
Wilmington, X. C. During the seme period
$1 m»,000 have been paid the Collector of the port
of New Orleans in duties on goods imported in
spite ofthe blockade. This ought to be enough
to prove that it is utterly inefficient, and ought,
according to the understanding of France and
England, to be declared rugatory. and not to
be respected.

The Lundon Telegraph of the LRITuUn
referring to some fabrications of the press of the
Fnited States, adds:
“The public throughout the States still gov
erned from Washington must have begun to learn
that the misrepresentations which so painfully
deceive the American citizen' are wholly with
out effect in London.”

The Federal Fleet... Fort Macon Threatened.
The Petersburg Express of Wednesday, 2d
in?t, has the following :
Our latest advices from North Carolina are up
to nine o’clock last night. At that hour it was
known in Goldsboro’ that a formidable Yankee
fleet was in sight of Fort Macon, and an attack
this morning, even if deferred until daylight, will
not surprise the garrison. We are pleased to
hear that they are well prepared fur the assault,
and will resist with a determination and daring
worthy of tbe glorious cause in which they are
engaged. Fort Macon commands the entrance
to .Beaufort Harbor, and is said to bo the most
formidable fortification on the North Carolina
coast.
It was reported in Uoldsboro last night, that,
the Yankee ,pirates had burned the flourishing
and spirited little town of Washington, in Beau
fort county, but the report needed confirmation.
We may add, that it was generally discredited.
Active preparations on the defensive still con
tiuue all over the State, and every man in it is
prepared to die iu defence of his native soil if
necessary.
The Charleston Mercury has the following :
Goldsboro’ N. C., Sept. 3.—2 p. m.
The latest advices received here from Pamlico
Sound stato that no forward movement Lad been
made in the direction of the main land.
Two steamers and two tug boats of the North
ern fleet are lying inside the bar. There are
supposed to be about three thousand Yankee
troops at Cape Ilatteras and tho vicinity. They
are busy mounting heavy siege guns and other
wise perfecting the defences of the position. It
is thought here that they cannot, for the present
be dislodged.
A flag of truce sent to the enemy was not per
mitted to land. The bearers of it were informed,
however, that seven of our men were found dead
and twenty-five wounded, besides those who were
brought ofl by the Confederate steamer Win
slow.
Intercourse with Europe.
On this subject a communication in a late
member of the Charleston Mercury contains the
following sensible suggestions :
At the end of four months of war with the
North, we have no mode of communication
with Europe, independent of tho route through
New York. This is no credtitable either to the
sagacity of our Government or tho enterprise of
our merchants. e have been so long depen -
dent on the Northern way if reaching Europe,
we seem to have iurgotten that, in the early pe
riods of our history, tho established mode of
passing from one continent to the other was by
the West India Islands. What prevents our go
ing back to the old way? A fast steamer of
light draught could go to Barmudain forty-eight
hours. The Bahamas are still nearer. Bermu
da and the Bahama Islands may be points of
connection with the British mail steamers. They
may be made entrepots of g iods for the South
ern ports. Kraal! last vessels, commanded by
men who know our coast, could go and come
with vety little risk. The Government des
patches may lie sent in that way, instead of
running the gauutlet through the enemy's coun
try. We would establish a ready direct means
ol access to the ear of tho European world. 1
don’t know what the route of the British West
India steamers now is, or whether they touch at
Bermuda or Nassau, New Providence. But Ber
muda is a naval station, and the intercourse with
England must he frequent. As soon as the
British merchant knows that his goods may reach
the Southern ports by tbe route suggested, he
w uid be ready to despatch them where tbe de
mand u\uld reach them. The people of the
Islands would be immediately and warmly inter
ested in this new channel of trade opened to
their enterprise. Commercial frknds would soon
become political friends.
Consolidation,
The tendency of the Northern States lo rush
headlong into a consolidated military despotism,
is no longer distinguished by the leading Aboli
tion journals. The Philadelphia Enquirer, un
der the heading of “A National Army,” editori
ally says :
We heartily had the new movement of General
McClellan in forming a National Army— not an
army composed of State regiments, but an army
in each regiment of which every loyal State per
haps may be represented. We hail it as a step
in advance in every respect, and more especially
as tending to make us less of a confederation and
more of a nation. The founders of our govern
ment did not make our national name indicative
of a federation, but of a union ; and everything
that tends to make us more Americans and less
citizens of petty commonwealths, is a step in a
direction which dire experience Las shown to be
tbe right one.
Our fctate Governments were intended for the
administration of local affairs, and, such pur
poses they answer more or lets wetl. But the
noxious dogma of superior State allegiance
strikes at the vitals of our nationality, and we
see with the greatest satisfaction every step that
tends to make us one great nation, rather than an
assrm'lage of insignificant nations.
Ike ilriiisli Skip Alliance.
'J be Ktfhntoml Examiner says the running of
the 1 ederal blockade by tbe British ship Alli
ance has been fully confirmed by dispatches re
ceived at the War i>. partmenf. Her Captain

The Alliance landed at Beanfort, in North
Carolina, a harbor on the neck of Cape Lookout.
It is further stated that M the time tbe Alliance
entered, a rminb' r of merchant vessels were ob
s.rved out a* sea, an.i it was supposed they might
follow the Alliance it. under tbe protection of
the Briti-h steamer that was lying off the coast.
This is the first instance of the entrance of the
vessel of a neutral power into our blockaded
ports.
Salt. — The Tndianola Courier says, iLat
enough salt can be gathered upon the coast
marshes of Texas to supply the whole Confeder
acy. and the business will soon teome very piof
italile.
