To the Editor Of the Enqsirer:
We have some warlike intelligence to-day.
The steamers James Gsy and Pavnes went on
a reconuoitering expedition down to Matthias
Point on Tuesday, when they discovered some
800 Confederate troops, upon whom they
spened fire, and soon scattered the party,
eartainIy killing quite number.
A negro captured on the shore, gave the in
formation that the troops were there for the
purpose of putting up battery, and says that
they would have had it in condition Of de-
fsnse before this, were it not for the difficulty
Of getting heavy guns to the Point. Two
horses were also captured and brought to this
city. 81
It is reported here that Armstead Hall, tne
former master armorer of Harper's Ferry Ar
mory, died at that place last week; he hav-
ing returned there to obtain men to go te
Richmond and work for tn Confederates.
His death was Sudden, of apoplexy.

Llncoln's Foreign Appointments. ::
From the Democratic Banner.

s,- From the Democratic Banner.
Nearly all Mr. Lincoln's foreign ap-
pointments have been unfortunate; and
instead of being a credit to bis admistra-
ton. and an honor to the country, they
are likely to get himself and the country
into deeper trouble. This is owing to the
fact of mere adventurers and village poll.
ticians, instead of statesmen Of high NOR
al and political integrity being sent
abroad to represent our government.
The appointment of the scamp Harvey
recently chosen in place of Col Morgan,
as Minister to Portugal, was both unwise
aud unfortunate. Independently of his
being engaged in giving aid and comfort
to the Southern rebels, he was in no re-
spect 6t for the office. His only claim to
public notice or favor, was the mere fact
that he was Washington lette. writer
for that infamous Abolition sheet, the
New York Tribune.

to trouble. 1t was q foolish, uncalled for,
and wholly undiploma,ic affair, and only
calculated to complicate and increase our

the Administration some serious truths, which
they would do well not only to lay to heart

that even in the present momentous crisis,
