The BLocKAp1NG FLEEr.-Tbe sea front G

The BLoCKADING FLEET.-The sea front of
our harbor was quite an object of interest
among our citizens yesterday, there being in
sight of our port at one time no less tnan four
armed vessels. During the day party went
down in the steamer Charleston, and ap-
preached them US near as prudence would die
tate. Of the four vessels off the port one Of
them is the Minnesota, which has been off this
port over a week. Near her was large steam
fr;gate, apparently of the first class, and as
seen about three miles of, much more sight
ly vessel than the Minnesota-if not the va
bash, she is no doubt the Roanoke or Cobra
do. The two frigates were anchored quite
near each other and apparently expect to stay
for time The other two vessels seen in the
morning were steam ships of about GOO to 1000
tons, and were both vessels that had been
merchantmen. but are now part of Lincoln's
provisional forces.
Soon after midday one of the latter had dis
appeared. no doubt gone South, and three o.
clock P NJ, the second was working in the
same direction the boat seen astern of MINES
sofia on Thursday was not in sight yesterday,
but as vessels of that class are sometimes en-
ployed as tenders to a feet, she may be one Of
that kind. We are informed that the new ar
rivals saluted the Comm odore yesterday morn
ing, and we think it is the order at present for
all vessels eff the blockading feet, as they pro-
ceed South, to come in and speak the Commo-
dore on this station, receiving any c,mmuni
cation he may have to make, and bringing let
ters, papers, &C., for the vessels off here. The
brig Perry has not been seen of this aaybor
so far as we can learn, but she is no doubt
cruising ia the !ghborhood.-CAaTles Cou-

RUAORED BATTLE IN VIRGINIA!
TENNESSEE GOES FOR SECESSION BY
SIXTY THOUSAND

The Virginia papers of yesterday are full of
rumors of movements of troops, skirmishes,
etc. :
1t is possible battle may have been fought
between Yorktown and Hampton. The Rich
mond Dispatch says:
It was currently reported last evening that
fighting had commenced at Newport News
Intelligence reached us by way OF PETERSBURG
that heavy firing had been heard in that direc-
ton and if so, we suppose this must have
been communicated to Petersburg from Suf-
folk. We have no particulars. The Norfolk
Arous learns that the Federal troops at New
port News struck their tents on Saturday and
marched up the peninsula.
By the York River train we learn that heavy
firing was heard from the direction of Glouces-
ter Point yesterday, before the cars lett West
Point for Richmond; but whether caused by
an engagement, or by the troops trying the
range of their guns, was not known.
It is, we presume, all conjecture and we are
very much disposed to regard the rumor of a
land engagement very doubtful.
The Erpress says of the same affair:
A gentleman who left Yorktown Saturday
informs us, that Virginia forces had moved
down from that point. with five days rations,
but to what exact destination was not known.
Yesterday morning at o'clock, a couple of
rockets were seen to ascend in quick success
sion, and Immediately after firing was distinct
ly heard, from cannon as well as small arms.
It is also stated by gentleman UP from Nor
folk Yesterday afternoon, that the Yankee
troops were seen retiring from Newport News
Yesterday forenoon by gentlemen in Norto k,
who with the aid of strong glass. were ena-
bied to obtain very fair view OF the scene OF
operations. These are all rumors, and as such
we give them.
There were five hundred different rumors
afloat through the city last evening To give
the half of them would occupy all our space,
and be oe no benefit to our reader. We shall
probably hear to-day reliable accounts in re-
gard to the matter.
The Norfolk papers speak of cannonading
back of Hampton, and very probably heavy
action has occurred.
One of our scouts had been surprised by
FIVE scouts Of the enemy two Of whom he
killed Also detachment of our Howitzcrs
met company of the enemy below VII
liamsburg and routed them, wounding mum
Der OF the enemy.
Desperate work is expected hourly at Har-
per's Ferry, at Manassas junction and near
Hampton.
Tennessee has ratified the Ordinance Of Sc
cession by an immense majority.
NASHVILLE, June 10-The Union vote i:
not so large as was anticipated. The State has
probably ratified the ordinance of secession by
60, 900 majority.
LYNcuBrKG, June 1O.--Returns from Ten
nessec received here, indicate bat the State
has voted for the ordinance by large major;
ty, estimated by competent Judges at 10000
The Union vote in East Tennessee was mucf
smaller than was expected.

CAPT. F. T. BRYAN

It was understood during the session of the

was made to him by his friends directly, the
terms agreed on, and that he consented to come;
In few days however, without his being ADVISED
of it, the salary first fixed upon was reduced AID
Gen. Hoke elected
We are gratfed at being able to state upon
good authority, that Capt. Bryan has resigned
his position in the corps of the U. S ToPographi.

the South is reaping the benefit of his valuable
services. in the great struggle for Southern free
dom and independence. Capt. Bryan is now IN
Missouri, where his family resides, having mar
ried a lady of that State. We feell sure that
his native Stale desires and demands his
services, and We hope to hear soon that he
has again rendered them to her, or has identified
himself with the patriotic men of Missouri in al
uprising against the high handed and wicked

Down on IOnny Bull.

The n. Y World pitches into the Queens
Proclamation we suppose the wal!lings of this
Black Republican puppy however will hardly
disturb the slumbers of her Majesty or ruffle
the quiet of her prime ministers. The World
says:
The queens proclamation, now that we have
it IN full, proves to be cautious, cold-blooded,
doublefaced document n disgrace to the SOW
ereign of a country which justly makes consti-
tutional liberty its boast. Timidity peeps out
of every sentence. Ministers have made her
Majesty seem only solicitous not to offend
those highly respectable cotton raising, slave
breeding gentlemen, who ''style themselves
citizens of the Confederate States The writer
seems to have weighed his words by drams
and scruples lest there should be breath's-
weight of sympathy manifest upon the side of
law and constitutional liberty. The men who
have undertaken, by the vilest treachery that
history records, to break up the most bene
ficent government ever formed, and who have
done this for the sole avowed purpose of pro-
pagating slavery, and who maintain their as
cendancy undisputed in their own States only
by fear and the violent suppression of the
truth are placed upon exactly the same foot
ing as the members of that government under
which this country has in three quarters of a
century risen to the first rank among the ma
tons This is not neutrality. 1t is but a
miserable sham; politicians counterfeit, too
himsy to deceive the least practiced eye This
according to the rebels all the rights of bellige-
rents, this fastening to give them every recog-
milton, except mere formal diplomatic recogni-
ton, is giving them countenance, which, COM
ing from a power like Great Britain, is both
and and comfort The proclamation recognizes
their right even to establish blockade equally
with the government Of the United States, and,
for that matter, even with Great Britain her
self This is neutrality with vengeance
The warning not to enlist is a matter of course.
The declaration that our blockade will be re-
spected, if legal and actual, is superhuous al
most to impertnence. That is a matter which
we should in any case look after ourselves, and
cause to be respected by all other power, Great
Britain included, who do not desire to go tc
war with us. Could the gentlemen who &C
companied the Prince of Wales, in his trium
phal progress through the North but a few
months ago, have been consulted, we are will
ling to believe that this proclamation would
have breathed less timid, selfish tone. L
will cost our brothers who live In the old home
across the water more than honorable folk
can we'll afford to pay to make us forgive-w'
can never forget-this faithlessness to all th'
sympathies and sentiments that we had fondly
thought to be our common heritage.

GIVE us DIsc1PLrNE.-We want discipline in
our military affairs. Orders should only be
issued by those having the right to issue them
and when issued they should be obeyed. The
Military authorities should make the duty of
each and every commissioned officer plain and
then there could be no clashing of opinion or
refusal to do duty. We blame no one for the
excitement here yesterday in reference to the
conflict caused between officials, but we beg
that the Comuander-in- Chief and the Military
Board will remove all these cases Of trouble
as far as may be. We are compelled to say
that SO Ear, We have had nothing but disvision
and confusion at this point aud if things can
not be better or differently managed the ef-
aciency Of the service will suffer greatly there

that the cause ofthe troubles yesterday is to DC
laid before the proper authorities at Raleigh.

Never shall our pen trace line nor our voice
utter syllable not in condemnation of this
