The ____ _____ _____ _____ the following reliable information from headquarters on Cape Henry Beach, furnished by Lieut. K. A. Burroughs, of Capt. John Fentress’ Princess Anne Cavalry:

Marine observations taken on the 24th instant.  The steamer Quaker City appeared off the barracks and made minute observations.  She was apparently making preparations to fire, but _____ bore away for the Capes.

About 3 o’clock she attempted to land a boat with men on board, with hostile intentions.  We ordered men immediately down to the spot.  As soon as we arrived with more troops, she opened fire upon us, hurting no person.  The balls, however, passed within three or four feet of us.  We have ten or twelve of these heavy iron missles.—[Norfolk Argus.]
