Floyd asserts that he, some time ago, promised the South Carolina seceders to leave things in the harbor of Charleston undisturbed --in statu quo ante bellum--and that the President gave the same promise.

The Richmond Examiner of this date has the following on Yankee worship : We had thought that we were incapable of being taken by surprise by any new act of indulgence or deference toward Yankees by a government that entreats them here to enjoy the fats of offices and contracts, or by a public which has not forgotten its old standard of society, as measured in the amount of court and dirty toadyism they might be permitted to pay to Northern notabilities.
But we were mistaken.
We are intensely and altogether surprised at the latest event of Yankee impudence and Richmond servility.
We are surprised to learn that a certain Yankee, Dr. King, from Newport, Rhode Island, has been permitted to come here to see a sick son, a prisoner.
We are surprised to learn that the doctor, his lady, and son, are occupying very select rooms at the Arlington House.
We are surprised to learn that these persons are called upon by the would-be elite (a very feeble would-be, though, we s

A skirmish took place in the outskirts of St. Augustine, Fla., between a detachment of the Tenth Connecticut regiment, detailed to guard a party of wood-choppers, and a squadron of rebel cavalry, who attempted to seize the teams.
