alled Fort Landing, and thence traveled eighteen miles on foot to Columbia, in Tyrrel county, N. C. There they embarked in a schooner, and landed at New Hope, where they procured horses and came on to Suffolk, Va. Our informant says that Capt. Wise was living when he left the island, and he learned from Dr. Coles that he was doing well; but there is still reason to apprehend that his wounds terminated fatally. Capt. Wallace, whom he saw after the battle was over, is unhurt, and also Major Lawson. Lieutenant Miller, he thinks, was wounded in the shoulder early in the engagement, but not dangerously. Mr. Desmond gives a glowing description of the brave and gallant conduct of our men, who contested the field for hours, and refused to yield to vastly superior numbers until their ammunition was exhausted. From other sources, we learn that the following Virginia companies were probably on the Island, and captured by the Federals; Craig Grays, Capt. W. G. Miller, from Craig co

and logs, while Colonel Frank Anderson, with portions of the 59th, was immediately behind the breastwork. The remainder of the regiment was in reserve, under Major Lawson, and, as the position admitted only a few men to engage at one time, waited for orders to advance. After the fighting had continued about an hour, Col. Anderson sent to Major Lawson for a reinforcement of three companies. He chose Capt. Dickinson's, Swan's company under Lieut. Roy, and a company from the 8th North Carolina, commanded by Lieut. Murchison, and placing himself at their head, marched at double quick to the battery. There the bullets flew as thickly as one could well imagine them, but, waving his sword, Major Lawson called for three cheers, and, with hearty shouts, these brave men rushed to their post. Several, however, fell in the attempt--two killed, and some half-a-dozen wounded. The remainder of the 59th was then brought near the battery and ordered to shelter themselves as much as possi

'clock P. M., Col Lee had the fences on the road in rear of us pulled down and made rail pens across the road in front of us. He then placed two companies of infantry on either side of the road, commanding a crossfire on the approaching road, and a company of cavalry immediately in rear of them, and threw out one company to the right and one to the left, some half mile, to deploy as skirmishers. We occupied that position some hour or two, when, a litte after 3 o'clock A. M., of the 18th, Lieut Lawson, of the Stafford cavalry, who was on picket, rode in under full speed and told Col. Lee that the enemy were upon us. Col. Lee very calmly replied, "We are ready." The feet of the enemy's horse could be heard under full charge, about 300 yards distant. Col. Lee rode up and down the lines very cool, and told the men to be steady and quiet. The words "Steady, men!" "Steady, men!" fell in soft and musical tones from the noble Col. Lee, sounded particularly affectionate and encouraging, just

vance at present. The weather is clear and pleasant. From Northwestern Virginia. Wheeling, Va. April 27. --The combined movements ordered by Gen. Fremont against the guerillas in Webster county have proved eminently successful. Lieut. Lawson, with one detachment employed in this service, has returned, and others are returning. In a severe running fight of seven miles, Lawson killed seventeen guerrillas and took nineteen prisoners. The town of Addison, a small place, the only oneLawson killed seventeen guerrillas and took nineteen prisoners. The town of Addison, a small place, the only one in the new county, being deserted, was burned. It had been a guerilla haunt. A formidable organization in Braxton, Webster, and adjoining counties, is entirely destroyed, the leaders proposing to surrender. It is understood the guerillas taken will be promptly tried and shot. General Milroy's scouts on the 23d instant, attacked the rear guard of the enemy ten miles east of the Shenandoah Mountain, the boundary of this department. They killed one Lieutenant and two men, and captured a L

on their bosoms, and they plainly show a revolver in the right side of their belt, and a small dirk in the left, and in many cases they are seen turning up their noses, with a peculiar pout, and an insignificant snake of the head--"You nasty Yankee, you," and pass on. I am happy to say that the ladies in this city have taken a bold and decided stand. No United States officer or soldier is permitted to ride in the city passenger railroad cars, if two or three New Orleans ladies are in it. Mr. Lawson, the proprietor, has published a card with regard to this matter, and on the following day two United States officers got in a car on the Canal street line. Two secession ladies were in the car at the time.--They pitched into the driver with fists doubled for permitting them to enter, and, after driving him from the cars, turned to the officers and said, "Sire, these cars were not made for Yankees to ride in, so get up and get out," The officers left, and without saying one word.

the fact, sent out a squad of Captain Rowan's cavalry from Ravenswood, under command of Lieut. Dawson, with orders to burn the houses of the three men named. The order was promptly executed. On Thursday of last week, Col. Frost received information of other outrages committed by the Rangers, and again sent out a squad. The squad was fired upon by a force of at least sixty Rangers, and one of the cavalrymen (Charles McCoy, of this city,) was shot and mortally wounded; whilst another, Corporal Lawson, was wounded by his horse when the attack was made. The cavalry found a large quantity of bread baked at the house of Henry Shepperd, a violent Secessionist and a Ranger, whose house they burned. The house of Abel V. Tyce, whose son is a Ranger, was also burned, the owner having acknowledged that he had fed the Rangers and would do it again. After the return of the squad, Col. Frost, at the head of Rowan's cavalry and a body of infantry, started from Ravenswood on the double-quic

On Friday evening, before the appearance of the rebels, there was considerable of a disturbance in Frederick. Some parties connected with the Citizen newspaper cheered on the streets for Jeff. Davis, in the exuberance of their joy, and were knocked down by citizens. The Provost guard interfered, and a man named Lawson, one of the proprietors of the Citizen, was knocked down with the butt of a market and considerably injured.--Another man, named Yeackle, was also badly cut. The rebels of Frederick knew of the coming of the insurgent army long before any intiuation of their approach had been received by the Federal authorities. A intuitive citizen just in from Frederick says that Mr. John S. Caldwell and other Secessionists threw the rebel Stars and Bars to the breeze, from the top of the Court-H
