strenuous effort,-a very fcint one
made by this already disrepntable

fact of its audacity compels us to pass
few remarks. Not a little aston

Official dispatches say we have taken

the rebels without water for their cavalry.
That a most gallant victory has been

not to be expected that our army will be
victorious in every battle, still our regret

FIT. MONROE, July II.
Steamers from Norfolk were seen land
ing troops this morning at Sewalrs Point,
where it is apparent that formidable prep.
arations are being made to annoy our
shipping and perhaps the fortress itself.
There are doubtless masked batteries
at Willoughby's Point, aud at point op.
posite the Rip Raps. These preparations
however, will be Intellectual in view of
the terrible engine of destruction to be
brought against the rebels opposi the
fortress, In case they attempt to disturb
u.s.
Sewalrs Point has no strategic impor.
lance. Norfolk and Portsmouth are on
the road to Richmond, but should the
Confederates annoy Old Point, they will
at once be routed.
Two negroes escaped from Pig Point
last night. They report the rebels in
large force opposite Newport News.

Since the order Of the British Govern.

OF pr!vateers into their ports, the Charles
ton Mercury is almost disposed to declare
war against England. 1t says:
1--WE are surprised tina, any of the
Commissioners have remained dav in
London after this order was issued. This
is an attack Of quasi hostility, which, i,
appears to Us, ought to have arrested all
conference with British authorities. 1t
is well known that whilst Great Britain
has the greatest interest in the indepeud.
ence Of the Confederate States, there is
an element Of anti4lavsry fauaticism
which would, in all likelihood, paraly re
