Coming Doaon.-Fresh butter was offered
in the Second Market yesterday at eleven
and twelve dollars per pound, with few
buyers. Conscious that those in the cOun-
try who make bu4er for sale are at no ex-
pence this season of the year to feed their
cows, people are determined not to submit
to the extorti0naie demands Of holders, and
they will therefore still have to lower their
prices two or three dollars per pound before
The article can readily be disposed Of Eight
aud ten dollars are the figures it will have
to be sold at, and those who bring it to
market had as well come down to them ai
once.

aud the whole statement regarding an ad-

A train arrived from Chester last night
about O'Clock, bringing few Of our
wounded men. They state that heavy skir-
mishing was kept up during the day yester-
day, about three miles from Chester, be-
tween that place and the Appomattox river,
aud that the enemy were driven back at all
points. We recaptared the Notifications
which the enemy occupied after our men
had been Withdrawn to send to Petersburg,
aud indicted severe punishm ent upon them.
In some instances our men charged over
the bresstworks in pursuit Of the fleeing
Yankees. The caeualties on our side are
reported to have been very slight.

MoaRIs ISLAND, 3. C. March 26, 1852.
Since operations were commenced in Florida
there has been very little Of general interest to
communicate from this point. Occasionally,
however, we manage to pick up an item that
would perhaps interest aportion . Of your nu-
merous readers.
GenerslTer for the past two weeks has been
absent most Of the time at Hilton Head on
court-martial duties.
The guns on the northern portion Of the Is
Land continue to send shells at intervals into
Charleston. As an item Of curiosity WIN state
that one SO-pound Parrott discharged 4,sl5
rounds of she'll at Charleston before it became
incapacitated.
The effect of our firing cannot be questioned.
The lower portion of the city is without doubt
rendered completely useless TO the Charlesto-
mans for the ordinary purposes Of business. and
the upper portion is not considered by any means
a safe habitation. 1t is seldom that civilian is
seen in any of the streets in the vicinity Of the
piers and when seen he is invariably observed
to hurry along as II extremely anxious to tran.
sact his business and get out Of the way as
speedily as possible. Notwithstanding the as
sertions of the rebel newspapers thai the people
are Indifferent to our shells, the statements are
far from being confirmed by the real facts Of
the case. Refugees who have entered our lines
recently, assure as that better effect. save the
absolute destruction Of the city, could moi be de-
sired by Us.
The troops are in excellent condition both on
this and Folly Islands. Gen. Terry preserves
admirable order and discipline, and is always
ready to meet the foe st any time, no matter how
numerous he may appear or in what manner he
may choose to come.

An Absurd Rumor Explodsd-Review OF the
Light etigade-RebeI Cavalry Routed.
The army transport Dictator arrived at
Hilton Head from jacksonville Thursday
mornine-also the steamer Ben Defad.
The absurd report circulated here to
the effect that Col. Barton's brigade at
Pilatka had been captured by the enemy
was wholly without foundation. Our
special correspondents at both Jackson
vile and Pilatka assures us that Col.
Barton's position is good in every respect
and no fears are apprehended that the
rebels will attack him.
On the 2Sth inst, the Light Brigade
at Jacksonville was reviewed by its COM
mander-Col. Guy V. Henry. The COM
mand passed through the various evolu-
tons in the most satisfactory manner.
The drill of the cavalry, comprising
fighting ON foot, skirmishing. charging
as foragers, charging in squadron and
battalion, was very creditably performed.
The 4Oth Massachusetts, Mounted Infan-
try under Capt. Jenkins, made hand
some appearance. Battery B, 1st U. s.
Artillery, commanded by Capt Elder,
was on the ground, and, it is not neces-
sary to add, went through the parade in
the most admirable style.
During Col. Henry's absence atHilton
Head, on Court Martial duties, the Light
Brigade was in command of Major Ather-
ton Il. Stevens, Jr., of the Independent
Battalion Massachusetts, Cavalry.
A few days since Dickenson's rebel
cavalry were seen on the ridge in front
Of Pilatka. We fred few shots among
them which had the effect to drive them
out of sight.

the 25th inst, Quartermsster G. C. Bingham, Of
Gen. GiIlmore's staf, and his assistant, Mr.. L.

Of the steamer Fulton. At o'clock in the eve
ming IN ambulance was despatched to the steam

Qusrtermaster Bingham's headquarters. atwhich
place the reception was held. The Fulton was
represented by Purser Thomas McMSnus. Chief
Pilot Gideon Map q, Chief Engineer Thomas
Wright and Chief Steward James Mulhgan.
Regret was expressed that circumstances pre-.
vented Capt Wotton from being present IS his
company is always to be desired. Among the

those present were Gen. r. s. Foster Col 8. n.

The military movements for the past week are
without interest. The rebels in our front at
jacksonville have remained quiet and win doubt
less continue to do so until We assume the cfen-
sive. Col Guy v. Henry with his indomitable
light brigade holds his advance position. The
men are daily in readiness to resist any demon
stration that may be attempted by the enemy,
and scouts are frequently sent out 10 determine
his exact position.
In con sequence Of the recent strong weather
several steamers bound for Hilton Head have
been compelled to remain inside the bar at the
mouth Of the ST. Johns. They will proceed
toward their destination as soon rs the weather
viii admit Of it.
From Pilatka we have intelligence that the
rebel cavalry under Dickinson attacked our out
post pickets not long since but failed to capture
them. A few shots were exchanged and one OF
our men was slightly wounded. Col Barton is
continually on the alert for these little skirmish-
es. and the rebels will in every instance that
they come upon him, find themselvs in very
undesirable position.
The fortifcations in front Of Pilatka have
reached formidable stage Of completion. The
troops are quite contsnted with their quarters
there and are willing to remain for any length OF
period, even If it should be the balance OF their
term of service. The climate Is delightful and
the flowers are just now beginning to bloom
making an additional attraction.
