arrived The sentiment in California is al

pate.

A REGIMENT OLE INDIANS.

The Petersburg Express thus refers to
regiment of Indians, three hundred strong,
now among the forces Of the Confederate
States:-"These stalwart sons of the forest
are from the county 81 Cherokee, North Car
DINA, and, under the skilful training of Gen
eral Jackson, distinguished member of the
North Carolina Senate from Cherokee, are
now ready for immediate action. A more
formidable looking body of men, we are in
formed by gentleman who has seen them,
never have been congregated on this CONT
nent. Not one of them is under six feet in
height, and, being built in proportion, they
look more like modern Samsons than any
thing else to which we can compare them
The rife has been their constant companion
almost from infancy, and they are confessed
ly the best marksmen the world has ever
seen. They shoot running or standing with
the same unerring certainty, and load and fire
with rapidity which is really surprising
Each man carries, besides his rife, scalping
knife and tomahawk. 1t is gratifying TO
know that the tribe mum bers several hun
dred, and should their services be needed
they can all be transported to Virginia in
forty-eight hours"

having in tow tue Smith Point Light-ship,
which she was sent to capture. The ship
was found up Mil Creek, branch of the
Great Wycomico.. The expedition was fired
into and some fifty musEet shots exchanged.
The two pieces of artillery could not be
brought to bear on the enemy, who were con-
cealed by bushes. Lieut. Flusher, who was
in command of the expedition, says that
Capt. Thorne's men conducted themselves

three schooners loaded with tobacco, the
Emily Ann, Mary Willis and Delaware Far-
mer, belonging to and bound to Baltimore
from Richmond, which surrendered to the
steamer Harriet Lane, and were ordered to
this port by the Flag Officer Of the Minneso-
ia. Outside Cape Henry the Mary Willis
broke loose, and, as the Live Yankee turned
round to secure her, the Emily Ann got i
lurch and sprung her malnmast. The fore
mast had to be cut away to save the vessel.
She arrived at the wharf leaking badly, and
had to unload. Lieutenant Bryan, of the
Navy, who had the prizes in charge, stated
that the ship North Carolina, in ballast from
Havro, and another ship, the Arago or Argo,
mad been seized and sent TO New York.
Twenty vessels had been detained by the
feet off the coast of Virginia. including five
tobacco schooners, which will probably be
sent here.
Intelligence from Old Point reports that
twenty vessels have been detained there by
the blockading fleet.
