Special to the Richmond Dispatch dated Nor folk yesterday noon, reports reception of New York papers to the 18th. Steamer Africa will bs detained a few days to take out Lord Lyon’s response to dispatches from the British Government. The New York Herald says in three weeks the Federal treasury will be leftf without a dollar, and no provision has been made to replenish it. Wall street all confusion; stocks greatly declin ed; entire suspension in the business of the oity. The Herald urges the immediate enrolment of all able bodied men in the city. The Queen’s messenger and a messenger from Minister Adams lefc Boston on Tuesday from Washington. English dispatches were sent in haste to the * | Admiral of the English North American squad j ron at Havana. Toe privateer Sumter overhaulel the ship i Montmorency, frera Bath, Maine; she was ran ; somed for $20,000, and permitted to proceed. Reports were brought to Richmond this morn ing that two Yankee regiments mistook each other near Fairfax on Wednesday, killing some 100 or more, and wounded many. Both retreat ed, and the Confederates coming up took sixlv ! prisoners. The wounded will be brought here. 0 Farther from England and the North. In the Charleston papers of yesterday we fin 1 the following by way of Norfolk: Norfolk, Deo. 18. Late northern papers have been received here The London Observer of December 1 say s that it was settled in the Queen’s Privy (council on the preceding day that an apology must be demanded, besides the restitution of the envoys to the British flag. The Observer declares that they shonld be restored to the quarter deck of ! an English Admiral, at New York or Washing ! ton, in the presence of ten or twelve British men | of war, whose presence would render the blus i tering of the Cabinet at Washington as helpless as was the Trent before the guns and cutlasses of the San Jacinto. The London Times says that the condition of the Northern States is almost identical, in a commercial pomt of view, with that of Russia during the Crimean war; that the breaking up of the blockade of the ports will set free English industry from anxiety in regard to a cotton famine, and wili send prosperity to Lancashire. The Liverpool Courier says that it believes the iron clad frigate Warrior has been ordered to Annapolis, bearing the ultimatum of the English Government. The general impression in Europe is ' that war is inevitable, unless full apology be made. The English Government has chartered the steamer America to carry troops and 'artillery to Canada, She was to sail on the 12rh. The Melbourne was to have left Woolwich on the 12th The Orpheus has carried to Canada 30,000 stand of arms, a large quantity of ammunition and six Armstrong guns. Mr. Faulkner says the voice of the North is for ‘ war to the knife,” and that they are deter mined not to give up Mason and Slidell. Two hundred and forty of the prisoners of war have been discharged from Fort Warren, and sent, to Fortress Monroe to await exchange. Ihe northern papers contain dispatches from all the principal northern cities, showing that the most intense excitement prevails amongst the people, who are unwilling that the U. S. Gov ernment should submit to British bluster. The C. S. steamer Sumter and the U. S. gun boat Iroquois are said to have met and had an engagement. One of the vessels was seriously damaged and had put into Martinique. We have n > information as to which of the two vessels this was. The War on the Coast. The occupation of Beaufoit and Port Royal Island by the enemy, so long expected, has at length taken place. The force there is supposed to be about five [thousand men. Several times during the past week detachments of the Yan kees have been seen prowling around upon the main. They have erected a battery near Port Royal Ferry, armed with 12 12-pounder Parrott guns, which shoot with great accuracy and effect at along range. Some of their firing at our out posts were tine shots and show that they have artillerists amongst them. Although the senti nels of the hostile armies have been repeatedly within a few hundred yards of each other, they have not so far indulged in picket firing. The enemy are throwing up strong entrenchments on Port Royal Island ; and their presence at the | Ferry has kept our soldiers in that neighborhood | constantly on the alert. Gen. Pemberton, who | commands in that vicinity,has under him among j other troops the regiments of Cols. Jones, Dun i o vant, Edwards and Martin, the last being eav ??£TOSr H. COLQUITT, f JAMES W. WARREN. 1 Edltor * 85 Pi R ANNUM , together with several artillery companies. \ - egret to learn that typhoid pneumonia, and omer diseases incident to camp life, are prevailing to some extent among our soldiers.— We would suggest that the officers cannot be too rigid in enforcing such camp regulations as will conduce to the health of their men. We are informed that the country commanded by the enemy may afford them about fifteen hun dred bales of Sea Island cotton, and that about three thousand negroes are on the islands in their neighborhood. The provision crops, which were good, are ample to sustain the slave pop ulation for a long period, if undisturbed by the soldiers. So tar as we can ascertain, the Yan kees have made no progress to the south and west of Broad River. It is reported that a launch belonging to the enemy, and full of men, was caught up a creek last week. Our jjtrqops fired into it and killed seven of those on board. Ch. Mercury, 18. The Lincoln Gunboats at North Edisto. —On Tuesday afternoon, seven vessels of the Lincoln fleet appeared off North Edisto Inlet, four of which soon crossed the Bar and stood into the harbor, firing shells on both sides as they came in. Yesterday morning their vessels came up to Rockville, where a part of the Ri fle Regiment under command of Col. Branch, was stationed. On the approach of the ships, our troops retired from Rockville to a position some miles in the rear, the detachment only being placed at the above point to observe the enemy. It is reported that some sixty men from the fleet landed and took possession ot Rockville, but information on this point is un certain. Until further information is received it is impossible to say what the enemy intend. [ Ch. Courier, 9th. No evidence has been indica ted to confirm or authorize the belief that the late great fire was the result of design.— Ch. Conner. Badges of Distinction.—The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, writes that Congress has decided to give med als and crosees of honor to officers and privates in the Confederate service who distinguish themselves in action. The Fleet.—We learn that a lurge steam ship was seen this morning among the fleet outside, says the Pensacola Observer of the 14th. It is supposed to be the Baltic bringing the 75th-New York Regiment, as we reported by telegraph yesterday. Timely.—The Savannah Republican, of the 19th inst., says, we have good authority for stating that a cargo of 2,150 sacks of coffee has arrived in a Confederate port within the last week. Three cheers for stone fleets and Lincoln’s blockades. Nine vessels of the Lincoln fleet passed Stono Northward on Wednesday. “IT IS MORE BLEESEB ” Give! as the morning that flows out of heaven; Give! as the waves when their channel is riven; Give ! as the free air and sunshine are given ! Lavishly, utterly, carelessly give. Not the waste drops of thy cup overflowing, Not tlie faint sparks of thy hearth ever glow 7 - in Jll o> Not a pale bud from the June rose’s blowing: Give as He gave thee,who gave thee to live. Pour out thy love like the rush of a river Wasting its waters, forever and ever, Thro’the burnt sands that reward not the giv er, Silent or songful, though nearest the sea. Scatter the life as the Summer shower’s pour ing! What if no bird thro’the pearl-rain is soaring? What if no blossom looks upward adoring? Look to the life that was lavished for thee! Give tho’ thy heart may be wasted and weary, Laid on an altar all ashes and dreary ; Thopgh from its pulses a faint miserere Beats to thy soul the sad presage of fate, Bind it with cords of unshrinking devotion; Smile as the song of its restless emotion ; ’Tis the stern hymn of eternity’s ocean ; Hear ! and in silence thy future await. So the wild wind strews its perfumed cares ses, Evil and thankless the desert it blesses, Bitter the wave that its soft pinion presses, Never it ceasesh to whisper and sing. Y hat if the hard heart give thorns for tl.y - roses ? W hat if on rocks thy 7 tired bosom reposes { Sweeter is music with minor-keyed closes, Fairest the vines that on ruin will cling. Almost the day of thy giving is over ; Ere from the grass dies the bee-haunted clover, Thou wilt have vanished from friend and from lover, What shall thy longing avail in the grave? Give as the heart gives whose fetter are break ing* Life, love and hope, all thy dreams and thy waking, Soon, heaven’s river, thy soul fever slaking, Thou shalt know God and the gift that He gave.
