THE FIGHT ON FRIDAY.
On Thursday 53 of the encmy's vessels
steam and sail. hove in sight, and on Friday
at 10 o'clock, a. m, commenced the engage
mcnt in force. Their vessels came within two
miles of our batteries, where they opened fire.
The engagement lasted from that time until
night, and was terrific.
They had perfected their arrangements car
ly in the engagement for landing their troops,
but having found the resistance much greater
than they apprehended, were unable to land
They had their small boats ready for that pur-
pose. Our shore batteries continued to pour
their volleys into them with considerable sue
cess. Two of their steamers hauled off at one
time from the engag cmcnt, and from the
smoke that was seen to arise from them it was
thought that they were on fire
Early in the engagement rcinforccmcnts ar
rived at the Island, and every one was SAN
guinc of success. Our gunncrs are said to
have acted with GOODNESS and delibcration in
the management of their guns, and much exc
cution is believed to have been done the enc
my, which impression was materially con-
frmcd by the cncmys drawing off towards
two o'clock from all batteries except two.
The enemy fired into several of tae private
residences on the Island, and set them on fire.
This was all the damage done us on Friday.
THE LANDING OF THE ENEMY.
During Friday night the enemy were per-
mttcd to land their forces, supposed to be
about five thousand, at Widow Baum's poirt,
which is above our lower battery. We say
they were permitted, because it is the opinion
Of those acquainted with the localities, that
they could have been easily prevented from
landing. From this place of landing they
were pushing on up road or causoway
through the marshy land to the mainland. and
at seven o'clock on Saturday morning battle
commenced, which continued until 10 o'clock
when it ceased for couple of hours, and

From the Fort Arown Flag of the
10th, we take the following important
intelligence. 1t seems that war is to
be the business Of North America for
the present year at least:
President Juarez has responded to
the situation in which the alliances
between England, France and Spain
has placed the Mexican nation, and
de6antly accepts the combat, prefer
ing to die free rather than live liz
slavery" Gov. Doblado, who has
assumed the position of Secretary OF
State, is one Of the ablcst men in
Mexico, and he is already infusins
the nation with his spirit.
BY express from the city of Mexi-
CO, we have the decree Of President
Juarez, acknowledging the existance
Of a war with Spain, and calling up
on the States for quota Of men each
amounting to $4,000.
1t is thought that Mexico can mus
ter an army of 100000 men to meet
the Spanish invasion; and it is conf
IDENTIFY asserted thatthe warwill take a
different shape than one Of defence
when the Mexicans become thorough
" united. A counter demonstration
under fiillibuster auspices may give
to Spain as much work as will keep
her army busy in Cuba.
We learn that the National Guard
in all the States Of Mexico is being
organized with energy and en-
thusiasm' The people throughout
the country are responding to tho
call Of the nation for soldiers.

The Suffering Poor.

Under this head the editor Of the

bad state of affairs in that city; moth
ing less than starvation among the
poor classes. He says:
ave had conversation lately
with some of the ladies who have so
magnanimously taken an interest in
the welfare of the poor people in and
around Natcbez. From them We
learn there is much suffering, aye
abject misery. in our midst, that until
the investigations of this committee,
were not believed to exist by the
mass of our people. We viii. give
single instance: family, a mother
and two children, We're found; all
three were sick, and for three days
previous to the visit of the kind
hearted laday who sought them out,
had not had morsel to eat. a pan
full of corn-meal was sent in from a
neighbours, and as soon as those fam
ishing children saw it they clutched
and eagerly crammed the dry meal
into their starving mouths. This is
but one case. There are more, aye,
dozens Of the same kind, in this
proud, beautiful city Of Natchez."
