Our FINANCIAL S1TuATIoN.-The Rich.
moud IHhig says: We have the most EN-.
phatio and valuable encouragement in the
tidings from England that cotton notes are
selling there att premium, and that more
than fifty millions of dollars have been Of
fered for investment. It will require but
a modicum of financial ability to turn this
fact to the most material advantage to u.s.
Our currency ought soon to be equal to to
gold-and will be, if Mr. Memminger wall
only arrange, as he can readily do, through
the instrumentality Of cotton, to pay the
interest Of the public debt in gold. The
action of the British merchants and bank
:, ers 81 in this matter is the Judgment Of the
most sensitive and intelligent tribunal on
earth, that our independence is established
and that our public faith. will be observed.

1t becomes our duty, however long we
have struggled against the necessity that
sAhas now come on US, to make such new
terms as will secure the continuance Of our
publication. The high price of paper, and
the difficulty Of procuring it tall, has been
felt throughout the country, and now 1t be-
ascomes necessary for us to follow suit with
athe other papers Of the State. The price
of subscription to the ENQUIRER will here
after be Three Dollars per annum, in ad.
vance, and Of advertising 81 per square, of
katen lines, for each insertion, and nothing
counted less than square. Clubs of FIVE
.or ten will be received at 50. The size of
onr paper is as large as any in the State,
j and our columns are not numbered with
useless adsertisements-the matter is stu
diousl7 chosen with reference to the times;
:. and We have spared no labor to make the
paper what the District requires. We have
ssheld on as long as justice to ourselves would
allow it, to our old terms we rest our
claims on the friends of the paper for con-
tinued support, assuring them that none are
SO anxi6us, as. We will be found, to return
to old prices, and old dimensions.
These terms go into effect for the future;
Il the fact may not be known, but it is SO,
that the imprinted sheets costs us almost the
price charged for the paper, and the arti-
81 Gle is not falling in price under such cir
eumstances, an increased subscription might
not be sought, but We are willing to labor
9 for the public who have encouraged us
heretofore, and as our advance is but small,
we still cansnrge our claims on public favor.
Saspeasion would be our only alternative.

K1NsToN, April I've received glo-
rious news from below last night. Relia-
bic information has been received at this
place, stating that Gen. Pettigrew with his
brigade, engaged the enemy in heavy force
at Blount's Greek, in Beaufort county, on
Thursday evening last, the 9th inst, and
gave him a genteel thrashing.
It appears that very large force Of Abb
olitionists, supposed to number between ten
and fifteen thousand, (not less, J under Gen.
Foster, finding it impossible to reinforce
Washington, as things now stand, landed
at the mouth of Blount's Greek, II miles
below Washington, on the South side Of
the Tar River, with view Of attacking our
troops under General Hill, in the rear, at
Rodman's farm.
Gen. Pettigrew attacked them and rou-
ted them, horse, foot and lragoons, killing
and wounding many of the enemy. The
Yankees broke and ran in dismay and con-
fusion at the first attack, (cutting down the
forest for miles in their rear to impede the
progress of.our pursuing troops,) leaving
all their camp equipage, ordnance, com.
missary and quartermaster's stores in our
possession;
. 1t was complete rout and no mistake.
Next morning Pettigrew was reinforced,
but not a Yankee could be seen on land,
they having taken refuge during the night
on board Of their shipping, which lay well
off in the stream, out of harms way.
P. s. Since writing the above we have
learned that the enemy marched by land
from Newbern to Blouut's Creek, and did
not go by shipping, as was first supposed.
They did not retreat on board their boats,
but won't back by land as they came.

NORFOLK. VA.

Great CONSERVATION prevails among the
Yankees and traitors in this city. General
Keys, commanding the department, has is
sued orders stating that the proximity of
the Confederate forces renders it proper to
notify all foreign cousuls and their families,
all women, children and other persons not
in the service of the United States, who
prefer safety to the conflict Of war, that on
the approach Of the enemy to any town or
village within that department and the
range Of the Union guns, such a town or
village will be fred on without further con-
sideration. The citizens of Norfolk have
been required to deliver up all fire arms in
their possession This is owing to the in
syestment of Suffolk, by Gen, Longstreet,
from whom We momentarily expect good
news.

THE SITUATION.

The attempt to take Charleston is for,the
time abandoned. The iron clad feet Of
Admiral Dupont and the army of General
Hunter have been withdrawnto Port Royal.
The experiment. proved too hazardous
The batteries of the enemy at Sumter,
Moultrie and Cummins' Point, and the OBJ.
structions in the channels, presented obsta.
ces too formidable to be overcome by the
force brought against them. By the arri.
val Of the Arago from Charleston bar on
the 4 1th instant, We learn these facts: The
fire from the batteries was tremendous, as
the condition of the KeoAuh shows. She
was fairly ridded through and through with
highly polished steel shot, weighing hun
dred pounds each, furnished to the rebels
by England. Our vessels fred in all only
one hundred and fifty-one shots at the forts,
while the latter struck the boats over five
hundred and twenty times. The armed
transport George Washington was destroy;
ed by the rebels in Coosaw river, near Port
Royal, on Thursday morning last, as before
reported. She remained behind for special
service under COL Hawley, who was acting
as post commaudant at Hilton Head while
the forces we're away. Gen. Saxton, who
was in command at Beaufort, sent for the
Washington to make a reconnaissance a.
round the island. In company with the
gunboat Hale, she went up the Coosaw
river, was attacked by rebel battery, which
sent shot through her magazine and blew
her up. The crew were fired upon while
attempting to escape, and several OF them
killed and wounded.
Our correspondence from the Blackwater
today gives an interesting account of the
rebel advance upon Suffolk, the capture OF
our outposts, and the flight Of the women
and children. The object of this attack is
to prevent roinforcem ents from reaching
Gen. Foster 10 his perilous position at
Washington, N. G., and to cut off our forces
at Suffolk from communication with Nor
folk, which latter place, no doubt, the req:
els intend to invest. Intelligence reached
Fortress Monroe on the 18th, that the ene'
nv had retreated four miles from Suffolk,
and that the gunboats sent to Fosters as.
sistance had succeeded in running the rebel
batteries.

The repulse Of Admiral Dupont's iron

operations against that rebel stronghold
The door will doubtless be kept more close
ly guarded than heretofore against English
blockade runners, with their "aid and COM
fort to the enemy;" but, as the sickly sum
mer season in few weeks will revisit the
South Carolina seaboard, we conclude that
nothing but some overwhelming Union
successes in other quarters will secure the
capture of Charleston before the return OF
the malaria killing frosts of autumn. In.
deed, it is broadly limited in leading abo-
lition journal that the idea Of crushing
spring campaign has been abandoned at
Washington, and that probably our military
operations, until the end of the summer,
will be limited to pegging little here and
