ay and do as they please. The authorities only laugh at us and tell us we brought it all on ourselves. Some owners are actually paying their servants wages. Is it not outrageous? And how can we endure it? The authorities boldly acknowledge that they know no distinction of color. And the Governor is Gen. Vicle, whom the Norfolk ladies were so infatuated with. So kind, so polite, so lenient. Better say shrewd and cunning, like the rest of the Yankees and their master Belzebub and his mate Seward. They have a gang of negroes, provided with brooms, shovels, and hoes, who go through the farce of cleaning the streets, and who are regularly drilled every afternoon, using their utensils in place of guns. And the Northern people, as a general thing, seem utterly ignorant of the state of affairs here. It has never been alluded to in their papers. I believe it is done to bring us into measures; but we will be stubborn to the last. They are taking possession of all the rebel property

Persons who have been in elevated places, where they could have a good view of the steamer in the river above, whose smoke is plainly visible here, inform us that it is not a gunboat, but a regular steamboat. We cannot tell whether it is the Mears or one of the enemy's transports. The Army of the West on the move. On yesterday morning at daylight a portion of our forces, under Brigadier-General Maxey, crossed the river and occupied Bridgeport. The advance was led by Col. McKinstry with the 32d Alabama regiment, and the crossing was made on the part of our troops by wading the river. Soon after the passage of our troops across the river a brisk fight commenced between them and the rear guard of the Yankee army, reported by prisoners captured to consist of about two regiments, which were left to cover the retreat of the main body of Buell's forces. The latest report we have from the river is up to 2½ o'clock, at which time the fight was still progressing, o

In this connection we may state that the railroad bridge at Bridgeport will be immediately repaired for the passage of trains, a corps of workmen having already been organized by Col. Cole, Superintendent of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad who will proceed at once to the work assigned them. We understand that Col. Cole, under the direction and by the aid of the military authorities will have the road repaired as rapidly aCol. Cole, under the direction and by the aid of the military authorities will have the road repaired as rapidly as the work can be done, and from his well known energy and the resources at his command, we feel sure that he will "carry up his corner" equally with others who have undertaken to open up the road to our State capital.--Chattanooga Advertiser, Aug, 27th. From Norfolk. A private letter recently received in Petersburg from a lady in Norfolk has been published. We copy the following interesting extracts: Poor, unfortunate Norfolk!

From a note addressed to the Provost Marshal by General Maxey's Adjutant General, written at 1 ½ o'clock P. M., we learn that the fight was raging at that hour, and an officer who came up in charge of several prisoners last night, states that at the time he left (2½ P. M,) the battle had not ceased.--Al

No damage was done to the battery.--Some of the shells fell and exploded some distance beyond the Moultrie House. Fort Beauregard replied slowly. Upon acquiring the range of the enemy's vessels with our rifle gun, one shot caused them to leave in a very hasty manner for their old anchorage.--Charleston Courier, Aug. 28th. Tired of fighting for the Tyrant. Mr. J. D. Howe, of the 1st Missouri regiment, informs us that on the 2d instant two regiments, one from Kentucky and the other from Indiana, rebelled at Rienzi, Miss, and started South with their arms. Four regiments of Wisconsin troops were sent to intercept them, when a fight ensued, lasting from Saturday morning until night. The Kentuckians and Indianians drove the Wisconsian regiments six miles in the direction of Corinth. At sundown the Federals were reinforced by two Illinois regiments, who ca

of Friday: Yesterday morning the Federal ram, Monarch, and the gunboat Luther No. 3, went up the Yazoo river. At 3 o'clock in the evening one or two others were seen going up. Our preparations in that quarter are ample to meet and repel the enemy. Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the enemy's mortar boats below here opened fire upon our batteries. They were laying off near the Louisiana shore, and it is also supposed that they have a land battery of two guns on shore near Mr. Burney's place. They kept up a vigorous bombardment for three hours, and averaged about one shell a minute. At first their aim was directed at our batteries, but afterwards they commenced throwing, their shells indiscriminately in every direction, nearly all falling short. Some came within a short distance of the city; some fell in the river, and some were seen to fall in DeSoto. Our batteries escaped injury, and nobody was hurt. Some old houses below the city were struck, but no serious dam

From this our people may learn the character of the war they will see, if, by their own supineness, they suffer it to be brought home to their own doors. Attack on Fort Beauregard. An officer from Sullivan's Island reports that one or more of the blockading fleet commenced shelling Fort Beauregard, Thursday evening, in retaliation, as is supposed, for the execution of Burger, which they could scarcely have failed to witness, as the prisoner was shot in an open space within sight of the fleet. No damage was done to the battery.--Some of the shells fell and exploded some distance beyond the Moultrie House. Fort Beauregard replied slowly.
