Our Coast Defences.

ana rules OF the Board. -
Il Our Coast Defences.
We Judge from what We learn, that our batteries
on the coast are in good state of forwardness and
we hope by the time our necessities absolutely de.
mand it. asuticent force will be concentrated at or
near the different points, to give the Yankees warm
reception. It may be that the poor success Of the
enemy in Virginia may wholly discourage him. and
he may leave US upharmed, but it is wise and proy
dent to be ready for him at all points.
We observe that Mr. Pennington. of the Newbern
Progress has recently visited our defences at Hat
teras, and he expresses the opinion that similar
visit by the members Of the Legislature and Con.
vention would do good. How, or in what way, he
does not say. The following remark of the Prog
ress, probably means something:
CoAsr DEFENcE.-Federal steamers are con-
SANITY passing along our coast and our attention
should be turned that way. There are not troops
enough at certain points.
We have regretted to learn that the monotony and
inactivity which prevail in the camps on the sea-
coast renders number of our soldiers dissatisfied
They are anxious to be more actively employed and
the stirring events in Virginia render them restless

= WHO TOOK sHERMAN's BATTERY?
The Lynchburg Virginia gives the following &C
count Of the capture of this celebrated battery
1t was Col. j. A. Early, at the head Of his gal
liant brigade, who charged upon and took the Sher-
man battery. We have this from returned soldier
who was in the fight on Sunday, and have learned
it from several other sources. Gen. Beauregard
pronounced it the most splendid military achieve
ment he ever Witnessed The GOODNESS and intrepid
ty of Col. Early were subjects Of special comment
and praise.
The Manassas correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury says however, at one time during the bat
tie, Sherman's celebrated battery of q. s. Flying
Artillery WIS the point of destroying Hampton's
LEGION when Col Garland, Of the Eleventh Virginia
regiment was ordered to charge the battery at the
point Of the bayonet He Immediately led the Vir-
ghians to the charge under terrible fire, and after
fierce struggle captured the entire battery, and
turned its guns upon the enemy.
HAD OsE OF TuEM.--A gentleman who was at
Manassa on Tuesday morning, saw a negro man be-
longing to an Alabama officer march Zouava into
camp The negro, a short thick set fellow, had two
guns on his shoulder, and drove bis prisoner before

wore his arm in sling in consequences Of his wound

officer was standing he handed over his price say
