BATTLE OF THE CROSS LANES.

By a gentleman who left Gen. Floyd's
Brigade on Wednesday last. and the camp
Of Grn. Wise on the next day. We are able
10 supply accurate and iuller details Of the
victory al Cross Lanes on the Goth uIt.
While General Floyd was crossing eau.

81 Floyd. having BY that lime learned that
he had under.estnaatsd General Floyd's
force. The same night a Union man
LEFT the camp Of Tyler, and joining Floyd
reported 10 him the enemy's strength and
position. An attack being resolved upon on
our side, the advance Was made IN three
columns. BY as many different roads-the

right under Colonel Heath, aud he left IN.

also held position 10 the fight, but what il
was our informant did not reeoIlect. They
fell upon the ebemy's camp simultaneously

completely By surprise.

when the military arm of Lincoln cannot

to extort money; the object being, cnnfsca-
ton. The arrest Of women is surely the last
confession Of weakness. Miss Maria J. Win
die got slender living by writing letters
from Washington for the Southern press.
She is a clever woman. smart and shewy, and
her sympathes, il seems. are with the South.
For this she is arrested. Mrs. Phillip Phil

mel Phillips, formerly Of the Charleston bar,
subsequently Of the bar Of Mobile, and lastly
! Of the Washington bar. A man Of talents,
he served Alabama.in the Congress Of the
United States for awhile, and afterwards set
tied in Washington, as plea,er before the

j. c. Lew, formerly OF this city, now Of Sa.

synpdfhises with the South, aud for this she
is arrested. Could there be any more con.

The despotism OF Venice and ITS mysterion,
silence as to the fate Of prisoners is re-en-
acted once more. aud in this nineteenth Gen.

OUR COAST DEFENCEs.

! The Richmond Wing refers to official doc
.aments TO show that the Confederate Gov
ernment has been vigilant in making timely
preparation for the preservation Of North
carolina from invasion. ltshows that Capt.
Lee, of the G. 5. Army, was dispatched on
the 4th OF July. first to the Arsenal in this
place, then to the defences Of Cape Fear,
embracing Considerable Point (once /" Fed
vral Point,") Oak Island Battery, Fort Cas-
well, Fort Johnson. Smithyille, Battery on
Zeek's Island, at Prices Greek, Reave's
Point Firzs, Camp Wyatt. &c.. &c. He
next proceeded to Fort Macon. then to the
Newbern Battery, then to Beacon Island,
Orracoke Inlet, Hatteras Inlet and finally
Oregon Inlet. Capt. Lee made report,
dated oath July. and covering IS pages, in
which. the Wing SAYS. he gave "a most in
teresting account OF the Arsenal and its APP
pendages," and described the various forts
and batteries. The Wing tells how many
guns and how much powder were at the va
rious paces-(we suppose our readers would
have as little idea as we have Of the proper
amount OF these. except from results aud
closes with the following extraordinary par.
agraph:-
Thus il will be seen that the system Of deieLces
80 far the coast OF North Carolina is concerned wa.
not neglected by the Confederate Government Thee
were guns, and ammunition. and men enough on the
ground, according to established military principles, or
the repulse Of the enemy. The President and the
Secretary Of War could do no more. And, indeed we
learn that in North Carolina itself one pretends TO
cast any censlre on the Confederate authorities"
III established military principles" assert
that 700 men. with % guns OF such Short
range as could not hit the enemy, were
" enough to repulse 1000 men, and twenty
odd ships. with more than 100 guns OF such
long range as could do execution whilst post

" military principles" we say, we would not

uliounded and cruel impatation upon the
brave men-Drase even 10 rashuess-wha

hours without the possibility Of making any
resistance with the Inadequate means a, then

having Seen ,cana and .s,iea ~ our men.
One handred and three prisoners, including
the wounded, had been taken. and our troops
we're hourly bringing in more Of the strag-
glers.
On our side the loss was two killed and
two severely wounded. The former were
both from Nicholas county. With so small
a loss was this brilliant advantage gained.
Gen. Floyd's troops pursued the enemy, in
hope Of taking his baggage wagons; but fear
ing to fall into an ambuscade. they desisted,
after capturing three wagons.
They then returned to their camp near
Garnifax's Ferry.
We learn. also. that General Wise had
been skirmishing with the enemy, near
Hawks Nest, almost daily; and it was as
serted that the enemy had evacuated that
position. and fallen back on the Gauley.
About this, however, there was doubt.
