II i citizen OF South Carolina, who was
in the Confederate camp at the time, We
are inlcbtcd for the following particular,
of the cAnncnalc on Wrdncteay last, be
tween Confederate battery and some OF
the ,nemy's steamers:
Tae scene of tho engagement was ii Tree

miles South Of the villayc Of Occoquan,
and perhaps half that distance below the

the preceding week, they completed it on
the following Tuesday evening. II was
built under the screen OF 3 pine thckct
which stood on the river bank, So that the
enemy were ignorant of what was doing
until Wednesday morning, when, the pines
having been cut away the night previous
the guns stood unmaskcd. About eight
clock on that morning one large steamer
and two small ones appeared opposite, and
tic former and one Of the latter opened
fire upon our battery with shell and round
shot. Nine shots were received before the
fire was returned from our side Our bat.
terry then opened and threw eight or nine
shots at the enemy's vessels. Three of
these, from the ''long Tom,' took effect in
the large steamer, and one in the smaller ;
and both the steamers seemed much Grip

sturncd by a fragment Of shell. but was
not seriously injured. There was no fur

The enemy subsequently, and from points
beyond the rang Of our 5ct'cry, commenc-
ed dcsultory firing upon the surrounding
ccverts, in the hope OF striking something
of somebody. One Of these shells few in

OF our battery. THIS firing continued until
our informant left the ground, which was
about two o'clock that afternoon.
The battery was under the command of
Captain Lee, of IIamptons Legion. Sevc-
raj other steamers were cruising IN the vi
cinity, and our troops were anticipating an
attack on "Wednesday night. Other troops
on our side were near enough to support
the Legion, in case OF necessity.

Col. Cunningham,s REGIMENT.

We find the following information con-
cerning Col. Cunningham's regiment in
the Richmond Dispatch Of Monday. 1t
will no doubt be crack regiment:
Some months since, Colonel John Gun.
ningham, of Charleston, South Carolina,
offered to raise for the service of the Con-
federate Government regiment, Or, II heed
be, brigade. The offer was promptly ac-
ceptcd, but Col. Cunningham was inform
ed that the War Department was just
then unable to furnish arms With pat
riotism which cannot be too highly com
mendcd, Col. Cunningham at once ordered
arms from Europe at HIS own risk and cx-
pense. These arms have recently arrived.
They are English Enfield rifles of the la
test aud rost approved pattern. With this
unsurpassed weapon, Colonel G. proposes
to arm regiment of picked men from va
rious States of the Coniedcracy, and to give
the regiment, the proud name of South
Cardinals greatest statesman. In the for
nation of this regiment, Col Cunningham
will be aided by Major w. l.. Blanchard,
of Kentucky, gallant gentlemen, who has
in him the ring of the truest Southern me.

we have named, it will be no matter OF

tablish for themselves the reputation OF

Troubles at Princeton College,
N. j.
The Newark Mercury, of Monday

The Newark Mercury, of Monday
says:
On Thursday last party of over jealous
Union students at Princeton College visit
ed the rooms of Francis Dubois, Jr., of
this city, and Alexander Fullerton, Jr., of
Philadelphia students who expressed scces-
sion sentiments, for the .purpose of ducking
them. Fullerton escaped, but his compan-
ion was seized and ducked at the College
pump. The faculty, discovering three of
the perpetrators OF this punishment, dec-
dad to suspend them from the institution.
This action of the authorities caused in
tense excitement among the students, and
wholesale rebellion was seriously advocated
by quite n number.
At evening prayers the president made
short but decided speech, in which he
declared that it was the firm and unat era
BILE determination of the faculty to put
down mob law in the college, and that if
any student rendered himself obnoxious by
an expression of traitorous sentiments, the
college authorities would admonsh or ex-
pei him, and to them, and not to the stu
dents belonged the action in the matter.
He further stated that the proceedings OF
the previous evening were disgrace to
the institution, and moreover Il direct in
fraction of the laws, which the faculty
could not pass over.
He promised a thorough Investigation
of the matter, and declared that if they
were unable to viudcate their authority in
any other way, they would expel every
student and close up IL institution. o.
Saturday morning the president gave notice
to the three detected ones that they must
20 to their homes until permitted 10y the
faculty to return to their duties.
He was determined upon the sphicct,
and there was no cvading it. The names
of those who are suspended are Howard J.
Reeder, n son of cX.Governor Recdcr, of
f.astcn; Isaac X Casey, ct ilcrrisburg;
Samuel H. llrr'y, OF Phi!adel phia Pre-
gicus to their departure the members of
the college procured large and elegant
barouchc. aud decorated livery tastily with
American flags. To this they tachcd a
long rope, placing the exilcd three in the
carriage, amidst the cheers OF the citizens,
they drove thcIl through the village to the

Critical Situation in Western
Vfrglnia-ROsen March
ing ON the Big Sewell.

Intelligence of this most important and
critical nature has reached here from the
seat of war in the West by special express,
arrived yesterday evening The news from
our camps on the Gaulcy line is as late
. as Wednesday last, furnishing most un-
common instance of the dispatch of intel
ligence from that quarter
On Friday last Gen. Lee arrived at
Floyd's camp at meadow Bluff. He was
accompanied by an escort of twenty men
and three baggage Wagons. On the Sun
day following, Gen. Lee proceeded to Wise's
encampment, on the Big Seweli, and made
q thorough reconnaissance Of the position.
1t was known that Rosencrantz had
crossed the Gauley and was making his way
towards our lines 1t was reported that II
lad crossed the Gauley at Hughes Ferry
taking up his line of march on the Wilder
ness road, but learning the position oi
Floyds forces, had retraccd his march,
crossing the river again at Carnefax, (thc
locality of the late batte,) and directing
his movements towards Wise's position on
the Big Sewell.
Gen. Lee had taken four regiments
of Floyd's command to reinforce Gen. Wise
The juncture of these two forces would not,
it is said, amount to more than 5000 men
and it had been determined to give battle
on the approach OF the enemy. Roscn
crantz's force WIS estimated ut $4,000 men
1t was understood that the position OF
Gen Wise was exceedingly strong. The
dispositions of the forces had been made
by Col. Henningscn, and it was hoped that
they would be able To check Roscncrantz
Notwithstanding the considerable superori-
ty Of his numbers.
On Wednesday last, Cen. Floyd had
prepared despatohes to hurry up reintorcc
nnehts on points from the route to R'ch
mond Col. Russels Mississippi Rcgi
ment had arrived out, as Col. Phillips Lee
gion or Battalion 600 strong.
At tn time OF the preparation ot these
dispatches, it was rprted i'll Gen Floyd ;
camp that an engagement had already Ia
ken place, or was in progress, between
Gen. Lee and Wise and the enemy. Mead
ow Bluff is about fifteen miles distant
from Wise's position. If an action had Ia
ken place, or was being contested, It's result
was not known or certainly anticipated al
the last reliable accounts which lave reach
ed here by special express
i he "hotel rumOrS wElcn were III Clrcu
lation last night are not subjects o! notice
as we are satisfied that we have the latest
reliable advices which reached here ycstcr
day from the seat of war, and that they dc
not contain any information ofthe result Of
an engagement with the enemy
4. If it should become necessary for ouI
forces to fall back from the Big Scwell, ii
is understood that they will do so upon
Gen. Floyd position, which is said by 4
mountain bluff, and on the other by q con
siderable steam Our forces, in the posi-
ton now occupied by Floyd8 command
could not be outtlanked They would com
mand the Wilderness road aud the Boyer
Ferry road, both of which connect with
the pike, and guard the only passabe ap
proach to Lewisburg. .-Rtchmona E,cor:
