The Confederate steamer Nashville. We have already published a brief announcement of the arrival of the C. S. steamer Nashville at Southampton, England, the fact having been communicated officially to President Davis. We now have a full confirmation of the news, by the last European steamer. She reached-Southampton on the 21st of November, with the "rebel" flag flying. On her voyage out she fell in with the American ship Harvey Birch, from Havre, bound to New York; and after taking the captain and crew on board the steamer, set fire to the prize and burned her to the water's edge. The "prisoners" were set at liberty on their arrival at Southampton. The Nashville is commanded by Capt. Robert B. Pegram, C. S. N., a native of Virginia and a gallant officer. It is stated that he communicated with Mr. Yancey directly after his arrival at the British port. A leading abolition paper of New York intimates that the Nashville is "fitting out" at Southampton, and may, very possibly,

ements connected with that arm of service; and at no profit; and without detriment to the interests of the Company, they have completed thirty-five gun-carriages and other valuable work. It is a matter of great regret (says the report) that the condition of the country, and the consequent derangement of financial affairs, have for the present arrested the completion of the Roanoke Valley Extension, which was in process of construction, and also have postponed for the present the Western Extension of the Richmond and Danville Railroad. It is confidently believed that with the restoration of peace, both of these valuable enterprises will be prosecuted to completion. In conclusion, the report commends to the attention of the stockholders the subject of a connection of the Richmond and Danville Railroad with the North Carolina Railroad, adverted to in the recent message of President Davis. The stockholders re-assembled last night, and continued in session to a late hour.
