I BLOW STRICK IN IIKFEMI OF CEMCIA SOIL i i Immediately after the arrival of the news uu Monday morning that the enemy had made a landing on Tybeu 1 aland and that several of their war vessels were anchored in Tybee toads, Commodore Talnuli got bis little mosquito fleet —at. present comprising three small steamers and one gun boat—ready, and in the evening went •lown to bis anchoiage near Fort l'ulaski, where l>e remained during the night. From ('apt. Cercopely, o! the steamer ldu, who artived here from below Imp l evening, we Irani that at about hulf-piul 12 o'clock, yester day, the Commodore, with his little Hummers, mailed out Mini gallantly al'ucktd the em my’s Ih-et of ix war vessels. Two oi them being nearest und within reach, returned the liru briskly. I'uriug the engagement which lusted about one lo>nr, some forty or titty shots were exchanged with the ruemy’s vessels The shot and shell from the enemy flew thick and fast over und around our little steamers, but without doing any injury. No ono was hurt oa our side. Tho damage to the enemy is not known, though it is believed by those who wit nursed the aflair that route of our hulls took ef fect on their vessels. Finding it impossible to draw the enemy in range of the guns of Fort Pulaski, our gallant and intrepid Commodore r *ve up itte unequal contest and retired to his anchorage. We learn that there was, last evening, six large war vurtielH inside the bar, oue*of which, a very large frigate, was lowed in over the liar by * steamer yesterday afternoon, W o also learn that the enemy Imvc established their picke's all round Tybee as far ups* King's lunding. We understand tiiat the general iuipiessioo below is that the V ankoes are concentrating their forces, and that us soon as they have got a few | more vessels over tho bar they iutend making an attack on Fort J'ulatki. Wo hour it reported that they have also laud jed troops on Warmw, and have pitched their . tents on the island. If they have tnkeu poa i session of Warsaw, they will bo able to cut ofl our water communication with Florida. The movements of the enemy during the past few days indicate a purpose on their part to get control of this port.

Nay, number (itself) in aiutles iuiparteib nos much, where the people are of weak courage; for as Virgil faith, ‘lt never troubles the wolf how many the sheep be.’ The aiuiy of the Persians, n the I'iaius of Arliela, was such a vast sea of people, as if did somewhat astonish the com manders of Alexander’s army, who cnuie to him, therefore, and wished him ti. set upon them by night; but be answered, ‘lie would not pilfer the victory’—and the dt feat was eusy. When Ti granes, tho Armenian, being encamped upon a hill with 160,000 men, discovered the army of the Romans, being not above 11,000 marching io wards him, he made himself uiorry with it, and said,'Yonder men are t o many for an embus Huge, and too few for a tight;’ but before the sun set he b und enough to give him the chase with infinite slaughter. Many are the exam ples of the great odds between number and sour ag#.” M S Kxkcl'tivk Apihuhtmeht.—Gen. Win. If. T.
