s@-H is knova that Gen. Longstreees army
has been investing Suffolk, Va, for some days
past, and had several skirmishes with the Lincoln
army stationed al that point and il is also known
that the enemy, last week, surprised aud captured
one of our Batteries. The Petersburg Express
of Thursday last relates how this misfortune hap
pened MS follows:
"The flag Of truce boat to City Point, brought
among other parolcd prisoners, lis meu, who with
q battery of five guns, were captured nc Keeliug's
Farm, on tho Nansemond river, Saturday night
last. From one of those, Sergeant d. Murray
Mason, Of Stribpg's Battery, We learn s6mo Of the
particulars Of their capture. They were ordered
to the locality named on Thursday night, and bav-
ing placed their guns in position, annoyed the enc
my's gunboats and transports very much during
Friday, Saturday and Sunday One Of the Feds-
raj gunboats was certainly sunk by this Battery
! and others seriously disabled.
Sunday night, soon after dark, they were sud
denly startled by loud cheer in their rear, Aad
soon perceived that three Yankee regiments, (ths
Oath New York, 9th Connecticut and another from
New Jersey,) had by circuitous march on the
southsde Of the river crossed the stream 10 :rans
ports some distance below them, aud thus come
up in their rear The support was q brigade
least two miles distant, but they calamity stood
their ground, and gave the enemy Fight, killing
aud wounding, rs was subsequently ascer tanned,
some thirty or forty ofthe invaders. We lost one
man killed, aud bad some four or five wounded.
Capt. Stribfng stood his ground firmly, and only
surrendered after he had discharged every barrel
of pair of five shooters.
We lost three twelvs.pouDdOr Napoleon field
pieces, and two 24-pound brass how,Een-tho
latter were captured by us at HArper's Ferry. We
lost horses or harness, these having been LEFT
behind, when We occupied the position on tho river.
There were but SIS Of Capt Striblings CON-
mand present. The other prisoners were attach
ed to two companies of the 44th Alabama Regi-
mcnt We understand that Maj. Boggs, GcB.
Longstreets chief Of artillery, protested against
occupying the position, as il was too much expos
! ed, but his circumstances were of no avail"

We learn from Morris Island that the Keokuk is
fast settling in the quicksands where she sunk, and
that her turres and stack have also disappeared
All efforts raise her will be abandoned. Observa-
tons for the past two days show considerable stir
board the Ironsides. Her masts ere being raised,
and, in connection with other movements, seemed TO
indicate intention to proceed to II was
rumored yesterday that the whole feet of Iron-clads
were about to sail for Mobile. Another report was
circulated that the Ericsson Floating Battery had
appeared off the Bar Friday morning, with the object,
s supposed, of making attempt to raise the
Keokuk. The last report doubtless arose from the
appearance of the Ironsdes in getting ready to
sail.-Chariesfon Courier april 25th.

PRoMoTED-Captain Samuel N. Stowe, of
G aston county, has been appointed Major of the
2sth Regiment, North Carolina State Troops, vice
Major W. II. A. Spear promoted to Lieut. Colonel
We learn that Maj Stowe, at the battle of Fred
ericksburg, kept his men firmly in line against an
advancing column of the enemy, even after they
had used all their cartridges, and that these
gallant men held their position till number OF
them were bayonetted, because they heard no
order to fall back. The Company thus proved
that it was correctly named the "Gaston Irwin

Although the above shows an increase in revenue
of over S532000, do not think it matter to
cause much felicity the part of the public at
large, for doubt the most of the increase is
owing to the enormous charges for freight and
passengers. Railroads, like spectators, are sriv-
ing to make all they can out of the necessities of
the times. We record the ''statement' but are un-
willing to accord any congratulation the showing
The revenue has been increased but the accommoda-
