came out, when she made furious onslaught
upon him, striking him several times and inflict-

made no attempt At self-defense, but to escape
from his assalant, thought to gain an entrance

NEw YoRK, Dec. 24.-The Express states that
rumor this P. n, says that in an interview
which Lord Lyons held with Nj. Seward, the
latter read to him letter that he had written
to Minister Adams, ten days ago, In which he
said that if the British Government claimed Ma
con and Slidell upon the ground Of illegal cap
ture, and as contrary to the Law of nations, and
would consider the surrender as settling the
principle for both Governments, they would be
given mp on request.
BosfoN, Dec. A.-Nothing Is known in Bos-
ton in regard to Mason and Slidell leaving in
the Europa tomorrow, and the rumor to that
that effect is doubtless unfounded.

Fl. HosxoE, via BALTIMORE, Dec. 24.-The
skirmish yesterday was slight affair. Two
Companies of the Goth New York Regiment
started for Newport News at 9 o'clock this
morning and proceeded to New Market Bridge
to look for q man who had been lost In the
woods the day before. As we hear, while near
the bridge, they found themselves surrounded
by rebel cavalry and infantry, numbering TOO
men but succeeded in cutting their way out
without loss. Reinforcements were sent for to
Camp Hamilton and the remainder of the reg.
iment was sent forward. The Naval Brigade,
under command of Col. Wardrop, was also un-
der arms and proceeded as far as Hampton
Bridge. Six Of the Goth Regiment were slight.
~ wounded. Twenty of the enemy are known
to have been killed and . number wounded.
Seven dead bodies we're found this morning
one was that Of an officer and was taken to New.
port News. He wore buttons lettered "A. NJ.

name is supposed to be one John Hawkins. It
Is reported that whole Company of negroes

MATTERS At CoLuNBus.-The reports In re-
gard to an attack or New Orleans by the Fed
eral feet, and the consequent withdrawal of four
or FIVE regiments from Columbus, and a large
portion Of their gunboats, is now viewed by all
parties here as . rxse on the part of the rebels.
Authentic accounts from Columbus contradict
these reports. No regiments or gunboats have
been withdrawn from Columbus. Fourteen gum
boats are lying there-two with rams, Oh the
brace and bit principle. Their land forces, or
infantry, amount to over forty thousand effective
men. Their land batteries in all amount to l 80
guns, all of heavy cslibre-the smallest of
which is the last and lowest battery Of S2-pound
ers. The portion of the Chalk Bluffs above CO.

an immense and tremendous cannonading force.
But whether this enflading fire will retard our
fotilla is as yet matter to be tested. There
are several stubborn facts to be overcome ON the
part Of the rebels at that point. First-we
have the best artillery in the world, made from
the latest improvements of naval gunnery.-
SecOndly-we have the finest naval officers and
generals in the world, who never fire gun until
they get the range. Thirdly-wc have vessels that
they may fire away at for a day or q week, and
these: they have not in their possession piece
Of artillery that is worth anything, except the

the release Of Congressman Alfred Ely, although
he (FaulLa er) says that Ely is prisoner of war

his parole of honor to return If he could not
effect the release of Mr.. Ely. When the rebel
yawl came out to take Mr.. Faulkner on board,
