The Affair at Sewell's Point.
--The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says:
It seems that both sides claim a victory for the affair at Norfolk on Saturday last, but it was the remark of a Roman Consul "that there could not be much fighting where nobody was killed." It is impossible, however, to withhold the meed of praise to a couple of Senators who somehow got prominence in the "gazettes" from having courageously witnessed the cannonade at a stand-point but four or five miles off.
The bold couple above alluded to were Wade and Morrill, who were on the wharf at Old Point, and, it is reported, afterwards went to Washington.
