 CITIZENS OF CoNNEcrIcUr Our national ene- mics are still strong in their determination to | destroy the Union. More than ten thousand off your sons have gone to the battle to contend for the honor of our flag, and the supremacy of l our government. The army needs reinforce .ments. 1.-The President calls for another regi- nsnt from this state, and for recruits to fill those in the department of North Carolina. 'Tis your country's call; respond promptly. Organize the regiment quickly, and fill the ranks. Con- necticut should be- true to her early record of patriotic devotion to liberty and public order.

 On Friday the Richmond Rebels threw out l small force toward White House for the, pur- pose of destroying bridge on the railroad in the rear of Nc Clelan's right wing. They did not succeed, but they drove in our pickets at Old Church and went on to Garlick's Landing onsthe Pamunkey rver, where they burnt con. pie of schooners and few wagons, killing the unresisting teamsters. They fred into q rails road train, killing two persons captured col onel of Sickles's brigade who afterward escaped destroyed the telegraph mire and got safely of for Richmond before morning. The sutlers and hangers-on at White house were thoroughly frightened, and most of them took the first conveyance for more Northern location. The Rebels were pursued, but they had a safe start.
 The United States steamer Mount Vernon arrived off Wilmington; N. C., on the 4th inst. ;, from Fort Caswell, with the information that the State of Georgia, had captured the rebel steamer Gordon, owned in Charleston, and sent her to this port. Eight of her crew jumped overheard from the State of Georgia. and attem- ted to escape, but were re-captnred. It was as. certained from the crew of the Gordon that an iron steamer, mounting ten or fourteen Arm strong guns, was fitting out at Nassau for the purpose of conveying six or seven small steam CTS into Wilmington. The rebel propeller
 North Carolina was momentarily expected to
 arrive at Wilmington with valuable cargo.
 l WE have further rebel reports of the prelimin-
 ary operations of our forces against Charleston.
 A dispatch from Agusta, Ga., dated the l2th in- forms us that sharp engagement took place on
 James Island, on Tuesday afternoon, which con
 tinued until dark, the occasion being an attack on our forces, to prevent then, from occupying a certain piece of woods. The rebels put down their loss at from fifty to sixty men, principally
 Georgians, among whom is Col. Williams, of the THE yicksburg Ne'cs of the l2th, states that Gen. Butler had put Dr. Stone, of New Orleans,
 in irons, and lodged him in jail. He had also 1 hung a man for tearing down the American flag.
 It also states that week before last the confeder
 ates seized the New Orleans, Opelousas and
 Great Western Rairoad and captured several
 prisoners. They also cut the levee at Algiers,
 but the foderas soon repaired it. The same pa
 per announces the shclling of Grand Gulf by our gunboats.
 By THE steamer Massachusetts ut Fortress Monroe. from Beaufort, C., on Tuesday, of last week we nave some indefinite news from the neighborhood of Charleston. The Massachu- sets stopped for several hours of Stono Inlet where it was told that Gen Hunters army was l,,k ntall, large Rebel force-about 25.OO0 supposed to
 have come from Corinth, and it was rumored that Beauregard was with them. There had been some fighting, in which the New York 79th and the Massachusetts Cavalry had distinguished themselves; several batteries had been taken by storm, and a general engagement was thought to be imminent, our forces-then within three or four miles of Charleston-to make the at tack. d. -ayasa .,l 5.r,.,#ars ..4 a.rsG OS FR1DAY last Gov. Gamble sent message to the Missouri State Convention suggesting Ethat 1t reconsider its vote on emancipation, out of respect to the President and Congress for the offer of cooperation with any state that would adopt a policy of gradually freeing its slaves. The message with resolutions of sim liar purport, was referred to special committee
 the majority of whom reported in favor of adop- ting the resolutions, and the report was adopted on Saturday by vote of g to 27. A congrat. ulatory resolution on the federal victories at Memphis and in Virginia were also adopted. The convention then adjourned until July f.
