From the selms Reporteri
The situation in the above named States is
exciting considerable attention. The latest re-
liable advices from Virginia inform rs that our
pickets are in sight CT Suffolk, and that almost
ineesssnt skirmishiAg is going on between the
two armies. Our readers will remsmbsr that
the distance between Suffolk and Norfolk is
triling. Oar forces are in possession of Nor
folk, and the Petersburg railroad within two
miles of that point, and a strong detachment Of
our army is marching on the Roanoke and Sea-
board railroad, and probably by this TINA have
taken possession of shat line. These railroads
intersecl near Suffolk, aud if they ara held by
our forces, viii cut off tho eneny's eOmmu0ica-
tion with Portsmouth and Norfolk. The Nan
semond river is the only outlet that remains,
and that we have obstruete1 to prevent the pas
sage of the euemy's gunboats With all com
munieatiOn cut off, and his garrison surrounded,
the entire force at Suffolk may be captured by
bold and rapid movement.
The Yankee force at Suffolk does not exceed
90 600, and consists, 10 the main, of raw troops.
OGr forces bsing in their rear, it viii be imDos-
sibe for them to get reinforcemsnt5 flom Nor
folk or Fortress Monroe.
The aspect of things in North Carolina are
not less important than those in Virginia Tae
seige of Washington by the ConfsdeTates under
fact that Yankee force Of about ten thousand
marching from Newbern 70 the relief of that
place, was met at Blount cTesk, seventeen miles
distant from Washington, and defested by Gen.
Pettgrsw. This movement was intended to
gain Hills rear, but being defeated, the timber
was felled for miles to prevent The progress of
our pursuing troops. As the garrison at Wash
ington can no longer receive supplies by tho
river they wAl be forced to surrender.
The Examiner says that the news of The bat
tie Of Williamsburg had thrown the Yankees
about Hampton and Fortress Monroe into great
alarm RamArs had reached there tbst tha
army had suffered most disastrous defeat, and
so exaggerated were the accounts, that it was
feared fer while that the army had been ami
bilsted and surrounded, and communication cut
off The alarm soon assumed the proportions of
a panic and fearing that their army ct Will
liamsburg had been hemmed in, and that our
forces might advance, the bridge connecting
Hampton and Old Point, as precsUion, was
piled up with pine wood and straw, and other
iuhsmmable material. thstit might be destroyed
at a moments waruing. Osher steps were
taken to guard against tho advance Of our
troops, which was confidently looked for by the
YaDkana

To the Editors Of the St. Paul Press:
GENTLEBIEN: To prevent exaggerated ru-
unors relative TO an attack made By a party of
hostile Sioux on a small detachment stationed on
tho south branch of WstOnwan river insthe
county Of that name, 1 beg leave to state
through your columns, for general information,
that one soldier was killed and two woupd=d,
and boy of eight or Ten yezrs of age killed
and two women wounded, whsihar seriously or
not, is net mantioned in the official dispatches.
Prompt measures have bean taken for the pnY-
suit Of the party who committed the outrage,
and, the monnlsd companies, having received
their arms, will be placed so as to cover the sp-
breaches to the settlements on both sides cf the
Minnesota river. The report Of the ofiseT con
eerning the detachment indicates that the at
tecking party was composed Of nearly fifty In
dians, but in the darkness and confusion he
probably oveTsstimsted the number; and it may
turn out that it was composed of ths few men
who wsre seen by the indians lstely taken By
my scouts, and who advised him of their inteu-
ti9n to steal hogses st any point where they
could be found on the south side of the Mime
sofa river. There were some horses, including
one government horse, taken by the Indians
who made the onslaught Respectfully,

MEMPHIS, April 2l.-Ol Saturday, April
18TH three regiments of infantry the 9TH Ohio
cavalry, and Spears Ohio battery were sent out
on the fernando Tosd-tp mako Reconnaissance.
The expedition -EEas lRder the command of Mai.
G. S. Hayes, who led the advance. When near
NoncoDah, he was met by FIVE hundred rebels,
under the command Of Blythe. A shor! skirmish
took place, and the rebels fed across the Cold
water, by the me ferry, which they de-
slroyed. Oar pom the opposite side of
that stream, yes continued the sbirm
shing, closing tho dey with no loss on our side,
and brt five wounded on the rebel.
On Saturday night, companies d and T, of
Msior Hayes command, were placed on picket
duty, our force then being few miles from the
Coldwater, and on Sunday morning the Major,
seeing a detachment Of rebels, ordered charge,
he taking command Of company B. The
slaughter for few minutes was terrible. The
rebels were raw recruits, lately conseripted, and
were poorly armed to meet men ike the 5th
Ohio cavalry. The rebels in that charge lost
thirty killed, forty wounded, and eighty pris-
oners. The casualties to our forces were two
wounded.
The rebels recrossad the Coldwater and were
reinforced. Major Haines then fell back to Her
nando, eight miles from the Coldwster. Col.
Bryant moved forward from that town and gave
day, without any decided advantage 10 either
army. How many rebels were killed was i'm
possible to tell Oar loss was Eve killed and
fifteen wounded. Among the wounded is Msj
Haynes, he being struck by a Minnie ball in
the right hip, (the wound will, am told, prove
fatal and two commissioned officers.
The rebels were reinforced on Sunday at dark
by a large force under the command of Chsl
mers. Col. Bryant fell back to within eighteen
miles Of Memphis.
On Monday morning the 2i Wisconsin cav
airy was sent out to Teconnoiter, aud reports
the rebels still on the opposite side of the Cold

NEWBERN, April I6. 10 M-Gsnerel Foster
Lieutensnt-C Colonel Hoffman, Capt. Gouraud
and Lieutenant Edward W. Peters, aid-de
camp, arrived here last night at nine o'clock
on the steamer Escort, in safety, f.om Washing
ton, having successfully run the batteries on
Rodman's point and that at Hills point
The Escort left Washington yesterday morn
ing at half-past Eve o'clock, hsvirg on board
the above named officers. When the boat ar
rived within the range of the upper battery on
Rodman's farm, the rebels opened upon her
with artillery, and, as she approached the shore,
with volley upon volley of musketry, which
was continued without intermission until all
the batteries had been passed. The channel of
the river, for about four miles between Hills
point and Rodman's farm, runs close in Shore
where the rebel batteries are plReed, and the
dagger was most imminent As soon as the up.
per battery on Rodman's farm had bean passed,
the second one took up the fire, and the third
and continued it until the Escort had reached
point within range Of the works a.. Hills point.
Then the noise of the cannonsding and mus
kerry was indesd terrible No less than egh-
teen solid shot and shell struck and passed
through the steamer, completely riddling her up.
per works, and partially disabling her ms-
chinery, while the bullets of tho eneay's sharp
shooters perforated her i0iner work Ike q sieve
When opposite the lower battery, on R9dman's
fsrm, the pilot, Mr. Frederick, native Of this
State, was killed at his post by one of the rebel
shsrpshooters. Immediately upon the fall Of
Pederick, Capt Wall sent for negro who
knew the channel, and compelled him to point
out the course of the steamer past the blockade,
while one of the New York pilots Of the boat
handled the wheel. The boat vent on down
the stream at rapid rate, snd, though experinc.
ing, probably, the hottest FIRE to which ever a
transport boat was subjected, reached and passed
the lower fort and blockade without further loss

during the entire trip, and by bis coolness and
