THE ENEMY AGAIN.
About three O'Clock Yesterday morning an
express reached this city from the Pau,%ent
bringing authentic intelligence that the enemy
were again ascending that river, in twelve or
fifteen bargcs, and had arrived rs high as the
Village OF Benedict. The express brought
letters to the Secretary OF War from semitic
men at Nottingham requesting assistance.-
In compliance with this request instructions
were immediately issued to Gen. Van Ness
ana IN an hour the necessary orders were dis
tr0uted. 1t gave US much pleasure to Wit
ness the same degree of promptitudc and a.
iacl1ty on the present occasion, as have here
totore distinguished the militia of this die
ti1ct. AT ten O'Clock the fine companies Of
Georgetown Artillery and Riflemcn, UNI
Ger their respective captains Peter and
otuli the Georgetown Dragons, the troop
OF APT hcrnton OF Alexandria, and that
OF Capt; Caldwell of this city amounting in
All 10 ABOUT two hundred and eighty men,
were IN complete readiness to march. and
soon after departed for the Patuyent thc
whole under the command of Major GEORGE
Peter.
We learn that the enemy have pursued
the same system of barbarous warfare that
was commenced last summer under the moro
rlous Cockburn. They have burnt many
dwellings and plundered number of families
on the shores of the PatuXent
The force which marched hence YESTERDAY
morning, is, In conjunction with the troops al
ready Iii that neighborhood, deemed adeOuate
to stop the progress of the incendiaries and
drive them back ; but if not, there are bun-
dreds OF other brave men in this district who
are willing to march, at an hours notice. To the
aid of their fellow-citizens.

The Augusta Herald states, that a company
otgentlemen have obtained grant from the
Cherokee Nation to open road through their
country from the most convenient point on the
Tennessee river to the highest point of navi-
cation on the Tugalo river, in this state--that
the President of the United States has sancti-
oned the grant, and that the company have
progressed fifteen miles in their laudabe I'M
deltaking.
The advantages which will result from this
acquisition are valuable, and will no doubt be
permanent. BY this new route it is calculated
that trip can be made from Knoxville to
Augusta in about 80 days and, in Transports
ton alone, about one half will be saved in
time and nearly two thirds in expense. II has
Z so been estimated that the State Of Te1nes-
see, by the facilities which this direct commu-
cation VIII give TO land trlnsportations, can
save an expense exceeding twenty thousand
dollars per annum. The interests of the two
states will be more closely ccmcnted by the
reciprocal advantages which here present
