WAR ITEMS.

RICHMOND, Oct. 19.-There was heavy Skin
mishing on the Potomac yesterday, near Harpers
Ferry and Transport. The particulars have only
partially transpired. Passengers state that Ash
bys cavalry engaged the enemy, between Leesburg
and Harper's Ferry, killing sixty and taking ff
teen prisoners, The Confederate loss was one
killed and one wounded. 1t is reported thatthert
is large Federal feet from Fortress Monroe lying
below Transport unable to pass the Confederate
batteries. The Potomac is believed to be block
AIDED at last. Officers from the camps in the
mountains report nothing transporting of unusual
interest. Other camps quiet.
The Norfolk Day Book reports that all is quiet al
Roanoke Island, but the federals evidently intend
attacking the island, because they have reinforced
Hatteras to about 5000 men, with large mum
Der of gun boats, barges and fats. Gen. Mansfield
is commanding at Hatteras, and scheming to or
ganize an expedition to attack Norfolk.
MOBILE, Oct. 1S.-Thomas p. Porter, late
President of the Kentucky Senate, and Lieut.
Governor of the State, was at Nashville yesterday

llshment of a regular monthly mail between New
Orleans and Tampico, to connect with the British

and 1900 letters are in charge of one of them who
left New Orleans on the 10th instant. Another
