..,..- ....s-.-s... LYNCHBURG, Sept. z.
There is considerable diminishing between
pickets near Alexandria, but no general en-
gagement yet. aus,
Saturday s Northern papers state that the
Confederate flag is flying in full view of Wash
ingtOn, and expresses the opinion that bat
tie cannot be avoided many days longer.
Our inform ,tiOn leads to same conclusion.
The capture of Fort Hatteras is fully con-
firmed. Fort Macon commanding the en-
trance to Beaufort harbor was threatened on
Sunday night, and an attack upon it viii
probable be made. Fort Macon is the most
formidable one on the North Carolina coast,
and is well prepared to resist an ass ault.
The Furnishing town of Washington N. c.,
is reported burned by Yankee priyateers, but
the report is discredited. -
A perfect reign of terror is reported TO pre-
vail in Northwestern Virginia. Union resi-
dents of that region give accounts of the
withdrawal of Northern troops, who were
rapidly leaving for Yankeedom. In Braxton
county every tory has been shot by his neigh
bors. and in several other counties, citizens
devoted to the Confederate cause are doing
good service in the same way. seg5 Is. s.E
Confederate Congress adjourned Satur Jay
night, until the Sd Monday in November,
unless sooner convened by the President.
Among the acts approved by the President
and made public, is one providing for the Sc
questration of estates, property, and effects OF

ARRIVAL FROM Rio DE Observation-Disclosures
standing the vigilant blockade, the brig
West Indian, of New Orleans, Capt. F. Arnet,
arrived here yesterday in forty-one days from
Rio de Janeiro, with a cargo of fifteen hun
dred bags of Coffee, consigned to that enter
prising commercial hous, Geo. w. Williams
& Co. Ninety-seven miles East of the Bar
the w. l. was chased by a man of war under
canvass At half-past 5, A. NJ, on Sunday,
made steamer and sailing vessel off this
Bar blockading, but in consequence of their
being at anchor the West Indian was enabled
to reach the Swash Channel and get safely
into port.
No news of special importance at Rio.
Coffee was high, and there was some forty
sail of Yankee vessels in port, which found 1t
difficult to get freights in consequence of the
existing troubles. The Yankee Captains EN-
ployed part of their time in abusing the
South, and saying what terrible things their
countrymen at the North would do. English
vessels that had reached Rio report being
chased by Privateers near the Equator, but
the latter changed her course when English
colOrs were displayed.
Freights in English vessels were somewhat
injured, many persons thinking that there
would be wal. between the English and Yam
KEGS, when the latter would cover the ocean
with their Privateers.
The brig West Indian was passed into
port by the pilots attached to the Guard
Schooner Howell Cobb, who proceeded out
side the Bar in their vessel and piloted the
brig into port.-Chdrleston Courier, I'd. s.sssE5dS

RICHARD HENRY LEE, E~q-

GEN. JEFF. THoMPsoN.-A correspondent
of the Memphis AUaianche, writing from
Sykeston, Missouri, thus refers to Gen. JEFF.
THOMPSON
That we will be assailed on the line of our
march in some of the vast swamps through
which We must pass, there can be but little
doubt. Our immunity from such assaults
and from ambuscades is to be ascribed solely
to Gen. jeff. Thompson and his Missouri
scouts, who precede us on the lince of march,
and penetrate the swamps in every direc-
ton.
This entire country is one vast intermiua-
BILE cOrn6eld, intersected with impossible
swamps and lagoons which nothing can PEN
citrate but bears, swapping turtles and JEFF.
Thompson. This gentleman is decided
character. He is tall, thin, wiry and active,
full of life and energy, sieepless and tireless.
He rides spotted horse which is nimble, Of
ten at midnight passing at full speed through
our encampment which he visits in order to
consult with our commanding officer. With
him it seems that Capt. Bankhead, of the
Flying Artillery is an especial favorite.-
There is much of the same restless daring
spirit actusting both these men, and when the
day of battle dawns, both will be found at
the post of honor and of danger. l know
nothing of the early history of Gen. Thomp-
son. Ii he were not born among the Ca
manches, and nursed by catamount, ma
lures laws have been outraged. A battalion
of his own men occupied, on yesterday, the
place on which we are encamped to-day
AS soon as we approached SykestOn, they be-
gan their preparations for their departure
They are lily clad and equipped. and yet
evinced much good humor; there was more
singing and laughing among them than
thrice the number of Tennesseeans. These
men are armed with rifles and shot guns; but
one company of the six had muskets and
bayonets, these weapons having been taken
from the Dutch, who were supplied by the
Federal Government, from the st. Louis arse

Arrival from Western VirgInia--A
scouting Party Misstng--Prospects
af STIRRING Times.

Through the favor of Sergeant Eaton, Of
the Sixth Guthrie Cray Regiment, we have
obtained the following information OF the
nroeress of events in Western Virginia. Mr..
Eaton left Beverly on Thursday morning
last. He reports that on Saturday previous.
at three O'Clock, Captain Willis Wilmington
left the camp with two hundred and nifty
men on scouting expedition, and had not
been heard of at the time OF bis departure,
Eve DAVIS afterward. Fears for the safety OF
the company were expressed, in as much as
the enemy were supposed to be In large Ior-
ces somewhere in the neighborhood.
On the day previous to bis leaving Beyer-
Nv. the Ninth, TweRty-third and Twenty
fifth Ohio Regiments arrived by q hurried
march from Buchannon, and were ordered to
proceed at once to Huttonsville the next
day. Here they were to join General Key
nolds. in command of the brigade stationed
at that point. In addition to these three re-
giments, the Fifteenth and Seventeenth lndi-
ana, and the Third Ohio, now at that place,
would make bis force consist of six or seven
thousand men, He had besides, thirty-ons
pieces OF artillery and four mountain hoWitz-
ers, of such convenient size and shape as 70
be easily transported on the backs OF mules.
Little waa known OF the force and position
of the rebels, but it was supposed that Gene
raj Lee with his full force wasin the vicinity
OF Huttonsville, near Cheat Mountain, and.
therefore, an engagement was hourly ex-
pected.
The returning party brought with them to
Columbus twelve rebel prisoners, under
charge of Henry McAlpin, First Lieutenant
of Company B, Sixth Regiment The men
are reported to be generally well, and N nne
spirits.--ci Hetnsafi Pres, .as2usf ~. sra

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Times.

=. WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.
The Rebels are constructing railroad
track from Winchester to Strasburg, from
iron taken from the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road track west of Harper's Ferry.
The Rebel demonstration at Edwards
Ferry was expected by the Federal officers
there.
To-day, in their semi-circular approach to-
wards our Washington lines, the Confeder-
ates are half mile nearer than before. our
advance to Fairfax, previous to the battle of
Bull Run.
They have seized and fortified several i'm
portant strategical points.
The line of the extreme advance begins
near the Chain Bridge; thence to Munson's
Hill, the key to the country for miles around; ;
thence to Bailey's Cross Roads, to Glands
mills, and to point near Fort Ellsworth.
Besides the three new Notifications that we
know the Rebels have erected, there is rea-
son to believe that they have six more con-
cealed.
Their movements are well known to Gen.
Mcclellan, who is ready to receive them at
all points.

RevuIsion of Feeling I'm Pennsylvania
Seizure of Democratic Orsans--.e-
cessfon Among the Troops---The
Demoerass Rebel1fng-
NonRIsrowS. Pa, Aug. rs, 1861
Dear Sir A great excitement exists in
different parts of Pennsylvania just now. and
you need not be surprised 10 hear of stirring
scenes before many days. What would you
think if the State should pattern after Mis-
souri? And yet have heard Republicans
and Democrats freely suggest the idea
Hitherto, Democrats have furnished the ma
jority, if not two7thirds, of the volunteers.
They now refuse and the Consequence is that
soldiers are hard to get. Officers are plenty,
but men are scarce. The reason Is that Re
publican journals have taken high ground 10
denouncing Democrats Disunionists. until
many good Unien men have almost been
driven into the Secession idea. e
But the great operating canse now is the
action OF the authorities at Washington 10
attempting to drive Democrats into the Re
publican ranks. under the cry OF mo party"
This will not be submitted to, andin every
county where the Democrats strike for the
old Democratic doctrine, the edict has gone
forth from Washington that Democratic
organs must be .confscafed." Several pa
pers, I understand, have already been seized
oy the Marshal.
The Easton Sentinel was mobbed and de-
stroyed on Monday last. aud the result In
old Northampton is a terrible state of bad
feeling I
The Jeffersonian, West Chester, was also
destroyed by secretly organized mob at
midnight on the same day. On the next
day passed through. or rather into the vii
Iage aud the excitement ran very high
This is State -camping-grouud, and parts of
two companies organizing to make up re-
giment were almost broken up by the attack
on the Jeffersonian office. Out of about $50
or l70, Que Lieutenant and fifty men with :
drew their names, declaring that if such was
to be the order, the Republicans might fight
their own battles. The feeling ran SO high
that an immense patrol, armed with rifles and
muskets, has been kept up to prevent an at
tack upon the borough while depositors have
withdrawn their names from the bank.
Since, / understand. the Marshal has closed
the Office of the. Jeffersonian, though the ma
teriais were destroyed. This has increased
the excitement through the country to a
high fever.r If this goes on, you may take 1t
Democratic soldiers, or in fact any kind, Tor
they will be needed at home.
This is blind policy. The Administration
had better not rain mischief in Pennsylvania.
The Democrats there are Union men to a
man, but many, very many, are anxious for a
restoration of peace On any tel ms that Will
Secure Union aud honor to the nation.

An attack ON a Federal m.n-of-w.r.


The steamer Harmony. of this port. after
taking on board one of the rife guns srom
the Navy Yard. proceeded this morning
about 81 O'Clock tn the Deighborbood of
Craney Island. for the purpose of barrassing
Federal vessel lying at the mouth of James
River
We learn that the steamer. having taken
position near the battery at Pig Point, began
operations /; aud has already fired number
of guns al the vessel, but with what success
does not as yet appeur. The qualities OF the
gun on board of her however, gives us much
reason to b. lieve that the powder used has
not been thrown away.
Since the above WAS written we have visit
ed position in this city from which obser-
vations were taken of the whole engagement.
The firing lasted for one hour. during which
the Harmony fired 20 shells at the Savannah.
the frigate above alluded to. The S. fred A
times at her in return and the battery at
Newport News fired six.
The Savannah lays about mile off
from the shore at Viewpoints News Point, and
the Harmony is snugly under the protection
of the Pig Point battery.
We arrived on the spot too late to witness
the engagement, but saw the position of the
two combatants. The shell from the Har-
mouy few all around and over the Savannah,
and whilst hers could not reach the Harmo-
ny. We understand that one of the shells
from the Harmony was observed to burst
just over the Savannah, with what eject of
course is not known.
The firing from the Harmony only ceased
when their ammunition gave out. She took
down only 80 rounds, and probably one
proved defective. The object of the expe-
dition was merely to test the range of the
shot and she'll of the new rit1ed gun, and as
the Savannah presented such good target
they availed OF it. 1t is believed if they bad
more ammunition they could have disabled
the Yankee, as soon after her opening fire
on the Harmony, she swung round at her
moorings and was more at the mercy of our
long range.
The Savannah's shot could not reach the
Harmony, we understand within a nile,
while the ribed cannon sent them half mile
beyond the Savannah. -
Great excitement prevailed all over the
city during the commanding, and every ele-
waited position on house tops that could be
got at was filled with spectators s
This one OF the sauciest freaks of the war.
The Harmony is nothing but {, little steam
ferry boat, and can carry not much more than
one or two such guns even as freight.
p. S--But the sauciest thing OF the whole
affair is that in coming back to the city, the
Harmony ran as near the Rip Raps as it WAS
safe fer her to do, and fired the remaining
shot into that piace.-NorfoIk Day Book, 20lh.
