FROM VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, Oct. 15.--There was heavy cannoEadng on the Confederate batteries, at Transport, on the Potomac, this morning. Ten Yankee steamers opened fire at II o'clock. A. m., and continued until two, P. M., whsn they withdrew--having done us no injury. The is supposed to be considerable.
 Signed: DIXIE.
 RICHMOND. Oct. 14.--Twelve Yankee pri- soners reached here to-day, who were taken by the scouts of party of Cables legion, near Newport News. They belonged to tho tenth New York Regiment.
 All the indications here point to stirring events at an early day, though there Is noth- ing reliably true or interesting from the camps.
 RicHMoND, Oct 15.--Surgeons, |. F. Guild, formerly of the United States Army, J. H. Logan, of Georgia, and J. J. Cheshom, of South Carolina, have been constituted by the Secretary of War board to make weekly visits to tho hospitals in this city, to examine the sick and the convalesecnt, and make re- commentators to their removal from the hos-. pitals by furlongh discharge, or retusn to- duty.
 FROM TENNESSEE.
 NASHVILLE, Oct. 15.=The Louisville Con- rier, of to-day, confirms the destruction oP two spans of the iron Railroad bridge, over Green river, by misappruhehsion of orders to the officer in charge. Any forward movement that may have been contemplated by our forces, is necessarily delayed by this inexcuz sable blunder.
 The Lincoln force at Smithland is reported to be about four hundred.
 The Lincolntes destroyed all the water craft, of every kind, on the Cumberland River, seven miles, and then returned.
 Parties from Wastern Virrnis d;roct va port that Rosencrantz has gone to Kentucky.
 FROM ARKANSAS.
 MADISON, Oct. 16.--Ihe following Is from the Appeal, of to-day, of fatal duel: In consequence of difficulty, having its origin in personal matter, connected with tho pend- ing Congressional Election in Mississippi: Col. Wm. A. Lake, of Warren connty, and Col. Hal. Chambers, of Coahoma county, had hostile meeting on the Arkansas shore, op- p,osite this city, yesterday forenoon. After all attempts to effect reconciliation had fail- ed, the gentlemen exchanged shots, and at the third fire, Col. Lake fell, having been struck in the back part of the head. The weapons used were Mississippi rifles. Distance fftv paces. Col. Chambers escaped unhurt. Col. Lake was immediately brought to the city, and is now lying at the Gayoso, under the att tendance of our most skilful Physicians, who, we are sorry to say, entertain bat slighthopes of his recovery.
 This unhappy affair Is greatly to be regret ted, as both were gentlemen who justly en- joyed the confidence of the public.
 Col. Fake has resided number of years in Vicksburg, and has represented his District in the old Congress, and also in the Mississip- pi Legislature. Col Chambers has also re- presented his county in the Legislature.
 Col. Lake expired last evening, between eight and nine o'clock.
 We understand that his remains will be ta. ken to Vicksburg by the earliest mode of con- veyance.

HE NORTHERN PROGRAMME FOR COAST lNvAsioN.--A correspondent of the Griffin Confederate States of the 30th uIt., says: The following extract from letter, just received from lady near Brunswick, gives some in- sight into their designs:
 My sister-in-law writes that she has just seen southern gentleman, just from the North, who says they are getting up every craft they can, to send south, and it is said 100000 men are to man them. There are maps selling on the streets of New York giving the plan of the seahoard and ten miles inwards, with every plantation and the owners name, the number of his negroes, the name of every inlet and creek, etc. Their object is to des- troy the crops and carry off the negroes.

CoRNED BEET.-We gave simple recipe some days ago; correspondent of the Rome Courier gives another, which we have often used with perfect success:
 For picking 100 pounds beef. Take six gallons of water, nine pounds of salt, three pounds brown sugar, one quart molssses oz saltpeter, 1oz red pepper, and log potash. Boil and skim it we'll, and let it stand until entirely cold; then having rubbed your meat with fine salt and packed and closely filled in water-tight cask, pour the brine ever it-- after standing six weeks, reboil the brine and return it to the tub, or if you prefer making it into bacon, take 1t out of the brine at the end of the six weeks, and smoke it we'll with green hickory wood. This receipt answers admirably for curing hams also. J.RS.

Increase OF the state Debt.

Since the excitement attendant on the breaking
out OF hostlities has begun to subside the folly
OF the first impulses of the hour are becoming
more apparent. The first proposition was to raise
twelve regiments for the defense of the State of
Indiana alone, and bill to this effect we be-
lieve, passed the House of Representatives. This
would have constituted State force yearly as
large as the standing army of the United Statesi
The appropriations for the regular army for the
year ending June 80, 1860, amounted to Sl4, ,966.
o5f, or trifle less than fifteen millions of dol
lars. Had the ineonsiderate and hasty action of
the House been sustained by the Senate, how
would the people of Indiana been able to betr up
under the heavy taxation it would have entaleig
Strong efforts were made in the Senate to cut the
thing down to three regiments, and we believe it
was done at one time, but COMPROMISE was
finally effected ON the six regiments bill. Our
Senator invariably voted for the reduction, and
was against the scheme altogether.
The State Constitution provides that the Leg
islature shall not create any debt except in the
following cises "To meet casual deficits IN the
revenue; to pay the interest ON the State debt to
repe invasion, suppress insurrection. or. If hos
tilites be threatened, provide for the public de-
Tense" Under this clause a bill was passed in
crelsing the public debt TO two millions of dol
lars-and for what2 We have no insurrection
here The law for buying arms for the militia Of
the different counties certainly sufficient for
the public defense: and as 70 repeiling invasion.
tite Cincinnati Commercial. good Republican
authority says that "Soutern Indiana is IN about
as much danger of invasion as Northern Mime
sofa y There is truth in the sarcasm. So what
will we have gained with all our military display,
and what will we have to show in return for our
increased debt and axationi"-SulliUGn De1no

Ru.ine. of Conxre.s.

We notice by the New York city Republican
papers, that the business of the coming session of
Congress has nearly all been arranged, SO that
there will be but little for the members to do but
to pass the bills maturel in advance for them.
The New York Commercial Advertiser, in a late
number, thus speaksb by the card
We learn from an authentic source in Wash
ington that the business for the extra session Of
Congress, to be convened on the Fourth of July.
will be so compactly arranged and presented to
them, that but a very short session will he re-
qure1 for it, dispatch. According to present ap-
pearances, almost a perfect unanimity will pre-
vail; the measures which have been taken, with
such happy combination of wisdom and vigor,
by the President and the Administration ger err
ally. will secure prompt and cordial approval hom
the people; an impetus will be given to the loyal
sentiment which, thank God, is so general. and
everything done that can be done 10 bring the war
TO speedy ard successful termination.

Effect of war on california.

California is likely to be among the most Sc
cluded parts of the Union, in the coming contest
between the sections. So far rs home interests
are concerned. the newspapers of San Francisco
have few expressions of regret at the changed
condition of public affairs. They anticipate that
the shipments of treasure will be suspended,
chiefly ON account of the hazIrls of transporta-
ton on the Atlantic coast, and that in eonse-
quence, the precious metals will rsmain at home
to stimulate industry. The San Francisco Her
aid says:
CLOSE up the Golden Gate for treasure ship
ments only for one year, and we shall have the
agreeable little sum of from forty five to fifty
millions of gold. without counting our silver. for
home expenditure and seeking employment in the
various resources of our State"
Manufacturing, too. from the difficulty of con-
tinuing mportations, is expected to receive a new
impetus. As the manufacture of beet 5 Igar was
commenced in France, and afterwards grew to an
interest of the first importance, owing to the ne
cessity of producing at home what could not be
procured abroad, pending the war with Great
Britain, so California may possibly learn to de-
pend on her own resources for the supply of a
large variety of articles now obtained elsewhere
such as hardware, WOODEN goods, tobacco, &c
California may also be tempted to embark more
largely in commercial pursuits on her own ac
count, directing attention to China and Japan
Australia and the Pacific coast; ard perhaps
considerable number may seek her shores for
refuge. But this is the best side of the picture
