Wo believe it ta ha qalte groan di eeiC Another report is that a heavy sea . engagement has certainly taken place off the pert of Georgetown; that heavy eannoaading for some hoare has been heard; that the debris of battered halls and the eon tents of a navy have floated np, with th? tide, into Wioyaw and other eontigaoua baya and rivara; and that among -the debris wer? ?asas ?sd boxes marked "Fortress Monroe." This is all, having any seeming reference to the pre? vious reports of Fr?s?h conflict with th?, Tsnkees.

We can only add that, as far sa we can learn, our commanding officers on th? post, who are said to be in receipt of despatches from Beauregard within tho laat twelve hours, have had no ad? vices on the subject. * Foreign Opinion. W? note thst in all tb? lat? European papers we har? se?n, including the thunderer, the Times, the language of the press ha? become more than over civil in speaking of the United Statas. We do not aay conciliatory, bnt -civil; not cordial, but part?eslarly polite.

So far aa acts arc known, the assassins of Lincoln and Seward were persons not of the-Confederaoy ono is reporteras occasionally insana, and tba sen. of an Englishman, if not aa Englishman himself; the other ie reported ea a Marylander. The North will gain, much more than the South, by the transaction. Staging and Wagoning. Wc are inclined to think that a weekly line j of stages and wagons between Columbia andi I Augusta on the? one hand, and Colombia and ' Newberry on the other, would provefally com-, ! pensativa to any enterprising citizen of ?ther I place who should pat them in operatien. Every day brings ia, er carries ont, seores of persons, able to pay and not so able to walk, who are j yet compelled to foot it, to and- from both plac?s, on their own bare pins. We hear con? tinual inquiries as to vehicles and medea of eon vey anec to Augusta, lie wherry, Chester, j Camden, Sumter and Orangeburg. We repeat ear conviction, that to two, at least, of tires? points, a line .of stages ead wagons would be highly profitable, and perhaps to all, for the facilities tor travel makes travellers, and oppor? tunity begets the desire in many, who other? wise might prefer to remain in a durance from ? j which they would willingly escape. These con voy anees. veannet well originate im this place; so completely stripped, as it is, of Any aort of team. We have neither malea nor horses. But surely a beginning might be made from Augusta, and after doe "announcement j made in thc papers of that city and onr own. Correspondence of the Phoenix. CAMPS NKAB ?AUBKV, S. C., April 24, 1865.

The movements of the enemy having become developed upon their arrival at Stateasufg, 8. C., Gen. Young, who wac at that time ia Au gusta, Ga., with his division, immediately or? dered Brig. Gen.

Overwhelming numbera, hoverer, and the ex? hausted condition of thia command, from their forced marches, finally compelled Glen.
