JHs IMPRESSION AT OLD POINr.-Onc Of the
editors OF the Baltimore American, writing from
Old Point, says:
Among naval and military men at Old Point
The impression IL that the feet landed on Bulbs
ishnc, al the mouth Of Bulls Bay, Sunday,
the distance from Cape Romano, where the Acct
WAS passed on Saturday hight being but fifteen
miles The storm having damaged the Southern
klegraph, their landing could not be known at
gence from Norfolk indicated that the point of
landing was believed to be at the Port ROYAL
entrance to Beaufort, some forty miles south Of
Cnafleston, whilst Bulls Bay Is thirty miles
north Of Charleston. Gentlemen who passed
through that section of the State represent that
