The Latest News.


The New York Hsralds correspondent says it is
estimated by men entitled to know, that there are
$4,000 Confederate troops between Harper's and
Edwards Ferries awaiting an opportunity to force
crossing into Maryland. In the meantime the
Secessionists are gathering on the Eastern Shore.
The correspondent of the New York Times states
that the Confederates, with three cannon, attacked
on yesterday, the pickets at Balls Cross Roads
The Federals fell back, but again advanced and are
now occupying their old posts

We have no information of a general engagement
near Arlington Heights or Alexandria. The i'm
preston appears to prevail, however, that great
and decisive battle is near at hand. It may be,
while we are pennlng these lines, that Arlington
Heights have been taken and that Washington
City is about to fall before our forces. The North
ern papers and their Washington correspondents
evidently apprehend battle on a large scale soon,
and this is also the belief i! is aaid of Gen. Scott.
Gen. Beauregard's scouts were, several days since,
almost within the range of the federal guns.

The mails may bring us later and more stirring
news than we have, but friend writing from
Camp Masked Battery" on the 3lst ult, says:
1--WE have not yet had an engagement-that is our
brigade. There was small fight yesterday some
or 10 miles from us. Gen. Longstreet's brigade
was in it. Tney killed some 10 or 20 Yankees,
took several prisoners, and drove the enemy back
to Alexandria. We expect marching orders con-
stantly and should not be surprised to have orders
to advance at any time, if not for an immediate
fight portion of our Artillery is in full view of
Washington City. & s. 1t is certain
our commanders are preparing for big fight, but
it may not come off as soon as We expect"

Martin, aSnlnStOil, leTtioru FaSquoIailk anu per
haps Camden and Currituck, are in mourning. low
deeply do We sympathize with them.
We learn that Beacon Island was evacuated on
Saturday morning, and that the federal fleet left
Hatteras on Friday bound to the Southwark We
simply give these particulars as we heard them, but
there is still a mystery over this affair. We hear
no mention made whatever of any attack of our in
fantry upon the infantry of the enemy.
On Saturday morning Gov. Clark sent down Lieut.
Crossan as bearer of flag of truce, to ask for
dead and wounded.
We learn that troops are being sent rapidly to the
seaboard, and that large force will be concen
trated at all the important points. All our boys ask
is chance on land at our cowardly enemies, who
skulk around to ravage the coast but who lack the
| courage to face armies on an open field.
LATEST.-We learn from an authentic source that
we had only killed in the fort and only % wound
ed. Three have died SINCE The names of the
killed we have not been able to learn. The flag of
truce sent down BY Gov. Clark by Capt. Crossan,
was not permitted to 60 to the fort but met at
short distance, and communicated with him. We
learn that most of the feet had feft for Old Point,
with the prisoners say $50. force has been left,
and two or three vessels, and the Yankees are re-
building the fort The houses of the dwelers about
the Inlet it is said we're consumed by the Yankees.
1t IS said that Com. Barron was among the
wounded The Yankees took the wounded with
them. Mr. v. D. Gilbert, printer, late Of this

The Guard were invited by the President to

were introduced bv their captain, who also in.
troduced Colonel Vaughn as their speaker upon

excellent remarks, to which the President re.

proper that brief history of their organization

In closing, we have only TO say, that these
