THE NEWS.

The cars on Saturday night brought US
nothing startling.
No confirmation of the Acquia Creek affair,
further than the following from the Richmond
Examiner of Saturday evening:
The Fredericksburg cars due here yester-
day at two o'clock did not arrive. We learn
that the conductor of the train telegraphed the
superintendent of the road, from Fredericks-
burg, that the cars had been ordered to return
to Acquia Creek with troops. We afterwards
heard it rumored that another dispatch had
been received stating that four large United
States war steamers had made attack upon
our battery at Acquia Creek, and fight was
then going on. We give these rumors as we
heard them, and do not vouch for their accu
racy. As we are not allowed now to receive
telegraphic dispatches, our readers must con-
tent themselves with these vague rumors until
we hear the facts, perhaps from the Freder-
icksburg papers mert aceek.

still in session but we know nothing of its pro-

Hampton mountaineering Facts

The following from the Pet EEpress con-
cerning Hampton Roadsand localities there
abouts will be interesting at this time:
TOPOGRAPHY OF HAMPTON RoADs.--Hampton
Roads is the name given to the broad eXpanse
of water between the mouth of James River
and the entrance into Chesapeake Bay. New
port News PoiHt on the North side of the riv-
er, and Pig Point on South, at the junction
of the Nansemond with the James, may be
considered as the mouth Of the James, Between
these two points the distance is about five
miles. Craney Island lies at the mouth of Eli
zabeth river, some six or seven miles East of
Pig Point. SewelTs Point is about the same
distance North of Craney Island. These four
points, therefore, form very nearly paralelo-
gram. Old Point is five miles North ofSe Wills
Point. Along the Northern shore of the
Roads, it is believed that no batteries have
been erected and the Federal troops may be
disembarked without any resistance. If the
reduction of Richmond is the object, as the
signs seem to indicate, the march of the FEEDER
al Army from Newport News will be ninety
miles. But whether the invasion is made with
one column, or two or three columns, it will
require an army of overwhelming force, and in
the highest state of discipline, to cut it's way
to the Metropolis. Whether Scott and Lincoln
have such an army at their command, our
readers can judge as well as we; but for our
part we do not believe they have. When the
attempt is made, the peninsula between the
York and James will be watered with blood

For the Progress

Mr.. Editor The President of the Confed-
crate States having appointed the 18th of June
to be set apart as day of fasting, humiliation
and prayer to be observed by the people, let
us make preparations to carry out the sugges-
ton throughout our beloved country in spirit
and truth let our stores be closed let all
business be suspended; let our servants and
cattle be relieved from labor; let divine SER
vices be conducted in all our Churches; let
prayer go up from every village and school
house and cross road, aye, from every private
dwelling; let it be day of rest from earthly
occupation and devoted to calling upon the
God of our fathers, that he would be pleased
in his infinite mercy to turn from us all those
evils which we most justly have deserved; that
he would protect our beloved country and give
us peace that he would go up with our armies
to the battle as he did with Moses when he
fought against Amalek; that he would bring
to naught the counsels Of our enemies; send
terror into their hearts and cause them to be
utterly cut off and destroyed. While they are
boasting of their strength and riches and trust
ing in horses and chariots let as trust in the
LIVING GoD and he will deliver us with great
deliverance. Verify there is God that heareth
the cry of the humble and those who trusts in
him shall never be confounded.

Well Spoken.

We believe with the Richmond Examiner
that we should not give an inch to Lincoln's
invading thieves; and no federal soldiers foot
should be permitted to polute Virginia SOIL
Why should Hampton and Alexandria be held
by federal forces when we have $4,000 men in
Virginia under arms? Let every advance be
disputed and every invading force be cut to
pieces. 1t is only necessary to give the order
to our brave men and it will be done. Indeed
we learn that there has been great difficulty
in restraining them. The Examiner says:

fensible. But for the South, it had better have
been burnt to ashes than fall prey to the North
ern horde Of robbers that now hold possession of
it. Had few hundred only of Yankees been
killed in an attack upon it, the gain to our cause
would have been as great as the loss was signal.
It would then have been guessed and calculated
that this business of invasion did not pay aud
that the debit of kicks greater than the cred
it Of coppers But, things have gone for the
last six months, the pleasure and profit has been
entirely their own.
If the South desires to check this invasion,
its troops must resist everywhere, with success
or defeat, but at least with sanguinary determin-
alton That is not all. We must attack to de-
fend. So long AS the people of the North find
that they have nothing to do but send all the
troops they can raise to Virginia. take Southern
cities. occupy Southern villages, outrage South
ern families, 6ne Southern citizens, and reap
fields Of green wheat to make fodder for their
horses, as they have done in the neig ghborhood of
Hampton, they will carry on the war till it is
