SOUTHERN REPoRrs.-A dispatch from No
bile (January p says that FIVE or six thousand
national troops, from Ship Island, had landed
on the coast at the town of Biloxi, capturing
two guns. If there has been any such landing
at all, the number of troops must be greatly ex-
sggerated.
The report that Fort Pickens had opened
fire " on the first instant, seems to have had no
other foundation than little firing upon
rebel steamer moving from Pensacola to the
navy yard.
From Charleston, in addition to the story Of
the capture by the national troops of Station
number four" on the railroad from Charleston
to Savannah, we have the following, of which
the reader will believe whatever he chooses to
believe:

troops, killing six and woundng twelve South
Carollnians. The enemy's loss is about the
same.
To-day the enemy landed in much larger
force at the same place. Gen. Gregg's brigade
fell back a short distance to an eligible posi-
ton. The pickets were skrmishipg all day.
The enemy design an attack on the railroad,
and cannot avoid battle.
The steamship Ella Warely, formerly the Isa.
