Affairs at Norfolk and SUFFOLK.

The correspondence Of the Baltimore 1ncri-
eda, from Fortress Monroe and Suffolk, has the
following information:
From the direction of Yorktown VIC have ac-
counts of considerable skrmishing between
our forces there aud those of General Wise.
There had been some skirmishing in front of
our lines at Suffolk, where LOngstreet's rebel
division of over 10000 men had advanced.
Their presence there was presumed to be to
prevent relief being sent from that direction to
General Foster.
Orders had been issued at Suffolk for the wO
men and children to leave, and large number
arc here on their way to Baltimore. A similar
order Is about to be issued at Norfolk.
The death Of Lieutenant Colonel Kimball, Of
the Hawkins LOuayes, at Suffolk, has created
much feeling throughout the department, he
being universally popular, and the pet of his
regiment. The facts of the case, as near as |
can ascertain them, are as follows:
The night was dark, and Col. Kimball had
charge Of the advance picket. A horsCman
was observed approaching, and Col Kimball
challenged him as usual, "Who goes there ?"
/ The answer was, "A friend with the counter
sign The stranger was then, according to
army regulations, ordered to " DismOunt, ad-
vance, and give the COuntersigu." The stranger
replied, II am General CorCOran," and moved
on without dismounting. He was again Chal-
lengod and ordered to dismOunt, and Col. Kim
ball seized his relns, when Gen. Corcoran fired,
the ball entering Col. Kimball's neck. There
arc said to have been no witnesses present, and
the matter will he Immediately Investigated.

Reported Fight at williamsburg

vIoKsBURG, April lO.-Nothing new here
Two additional transports went up the river
to-day, loaded with troops, and others arc pre-
pairing to go.
The Wig says, reports were in circulation
yesterday, that a fight took place at Williams
burg, on Saturday, between Wise's forces and
the enemy. These were confirmed by passGu-
gers last evening. At an carly hour, Saturday
morning, our troops drove In the Yankee pick
cts, and occupied the town, the enemy retiring
to Fort Magruder, from which point they COM
menced shelling the place. General Wise took
a position near the College and replied. Our
casualties, up to the eighth, were slight.
cavalry movement had been ordered, the result
OF which had not been learned. The rumor is
that we captured forty prisoners, and burnt a
large quantity Of commissary stores, but this
Is not vOuched for.
The Wilmington Journal of Thursday even
ing has report that the town of Washington
has been taken by our forces, under General
Hill, the previous day, but the Journal doubts
the correctness of the report.
The Kinston correspondent of the Raleigh
Journal of the 10th reports the Yankees have
fallen back from Swift Greek to Newbcrn.
The Wing has rumors of fighting for the past
two days Oh the Blackwator, but not of roa-
bic character.
A report from Petersburg says the Yankees,
in large force, entered Isle of Wight Court
House on Wednesday, captured four piekets,
and retired.

The following Is from Richmond papers:
CHARLESTON, April 0.-AccOunts from Fort
Sumter reflect the highest credit on the garrison
for GOODNESS and bravery In tho recent fight
When the Monitors were discovered approach
ing, the men were at dinner. At the sound Of
the ''long roll' they sprang TO their guns with
cheering. The battle flag was run up to tho
air of "DiXie," played by the band on the para
pet, and a salute Of thirteen guns fired. Col
Alfred Rhett was the commanding officer of the
fort, Lieut.. Col. Joseph Yates commanded the
barbOttc batteries, and Major Ormsby Blanding
the casemated batteries. Tho enemy fired
eighty shots at the fort, of which thirty -four
struck. The garrison are eager for the next
chance at the Monitors.
COMMENTS ON OUR mON-CLADs.
The EhdHIiHcT has an editorial In which IL
argues that the whole feet ofMonitOrs is worth
less-drawing its conclusions from the report
that the turrets of the Keokuk were pierced
from side to side by balls. II thinks the slanted
sides Of the Virginia (Morrimac) and not the
thick walled turrets of the Monitors the true
model; and deems the money and time cX-
peffdGd by the United States IN the construction
Of the fleet, as thrown away; concluding by pro-
nouncing EricssOn's last invention to be like
his former, an ingenious failure.
In another article the Examiner alludes to the
result of the Confederate loan In Europe, and
claims that not only cotton but well-grounded
confidence IN the ability of the South to obtain
and maintain her independence, has given II
the standing which 1t occupies.

The Baltimore papers Of this morning speak
in the highest terms Of Manager Grau's splen-

receive such patronage on Friday and Saturday
evenings, in this city, that ho may be persuaded
to remain two or three nights longer, and bring
out the operas Of Db,orah and II Wasclera (thc
Masked Ball. at the Washington theatre.
We have received communication from a
gentleman, who complains Of extremely uncivil
aud unjust treatment from the attaches Of that
theatre, last Monday night, in regard to seats;
hut during the opera season there will be no
difficulties of the sort, as Manager Grau will
have all the internal arrangements of tho house
in the hands of his own agents.
