Engagement at the Cape Henry


BeacA.-The Norfolk Day Book of
the l1th says: ......... ......
Information was brought to the ci-
ty yesterday morning that large
United States transport ship had run
ashore on Cape Henry beach.


The commanding officer at this
post Immediately proceeded to the
beach. Rifle guns Were mounted in
a little while, and operations began
tile result of which we have not
as yet learned, but will, doubtless,
before we go to press.


The Day Book then states that
the Monticello came up, and that
shot and shell We're exchan ged be-
tween her and the battery, without
effect on either side. Another ac-
count is as follows:


a gentleman V no was at the Old
Pleasure House Oh Cape Henry beach
informs us that the transport ship
was right abreast of the place he
was, about two miles out. She was
riding at anchor in {. rough sea-way,
unable to move from her position
for fear !, being driven ashore. He
witnes the shot from our batteries
on shore and is confident that she
was struck twice by them besides,
ne saw seyeral shells burst right over
her Ce,As, He was in a much bet
ter poa ion to see the effect of our
firing tnan persons at our own bat
teries. The Monticello was cruising
out tow ards Cape Henry when our
batteries first opened on the ship,
and thinks she was attracted more
more by the fash than by the report
of our guns, as the wind bore off the
sound. She immediately moved up
into a convenient position ana open
ed fire upon our batteries, firing
about ten times.


After this (about 5 o'clock) she
bore towards Old Point. The trans
port fired no gun during the time
One shell from the Monticello burst

place where our informant was stan

CAN'T LET HIN ALoNE.-The Washington
reporters for the Nav York papers cannot
let day pass without giving Us a touch on
the Fremont imbroglio, and the staid and
sober Cincinnati GezetJe is amusing itself
daily by trying to reconcile the conflicting
statements ON supposition that they are
all true We are told this morning that the
President has sent letter to General Curtis,
Commander at St. Louis, which he is to
forward to General Fremont. This letter
directs Fremont to hand over bis command
to General Hunter. Discretionary power is
given Gen. Curtis, however, not to hand
Fremont the latter in case that the General
Is before the enemy or in active pursuit.
If General Curtis does not exceed his in
structious, that letter will be long time
reaching General Fremont. For we are
confident he will either be in the presence
of u rebel fOrcs or in active pursuit Of u
for many months to come. In case Price

will then be ready for the letter. Flushed
with the fruits of his long and arduous la

he will be, in case he can force the rebel
General to fight-he will occupy the proper
stand point to meet and overthrow his Sc.

Union.

tendency to extravagant speculation placing every
article, indispensable to the support of an army,

above those warranted by the legitimate laws of
trade and in many cases beyond the reach of the
more INDECENT classes of society.


The merchant and tradesman, while restrained
within proper limits, are necessary and useful meni-
bers of the community, and, in common with every
other legitimate pursuit, arc entitled to the foster

the fact that many of our negroes have

that every slave owner should make a
