From North Carolina. the Camp and county — a Tariff for speculators — the first Regiment North Carolina Cavalry--an affecting Incident, Ets. Camp Beauregard, Sept. 21, 1861. This camp is the headquarters of the 1st Regiment North Carolina Cavalry, State troops, enlisted "for the war." It is located on the south of the Raleigh and Petersburg line of railroad, one-half mile from the depot and village called Ridgeway. The encampment is situated in one of the most lovely and quiet groves in the whole country, with several very fine springs of water quite accessible, and two small creeks near, where the horses are usually taken to water.

Important from the Soute — Navai engagement. The following dispatch, by the Balize Telegraph line, from Fort Jackson to Major Gen. Twigga, appears in the N. O. Picayune, of Saturday: Fort Jackson, September 21, 1861. Major General D. E. Twiggs: Mr. Fulda, the telegraphic operator at the head of the passes, arrived here this morning from that point. He reports an engagement between the C. S. steamer Ivy and the U. S. steamer Water Witch, without injury to the Ivy. The Ivy was down the South Pass when she discovered the Water Witch. She came out of the pass taking the C. S. cutter Pickens in tow, and proceeded up the river. In the meantime the Water Witch came up the pass, directing a
