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. - .4a*— • Monti.k Races.—We learn from the Mobile Advertiser, that owing to the war, the Magnolia Jockey Club have withdrawn the programme for the annual fall meeting of iSf.I, Should peace he restored, or other circumstances war rant it, the Spring meeting of 1302 will come off. —***&- * 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 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.” PEYTON H. COLQUITT, ) « Hitora JAMES W, WARREN. < Edltor,< $5 PI3R ANNUM. 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.

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. #g^. Capt.
