ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS
Second Notice—Northeast Gallery.
There are several very fine paintings in this room. As
UT do not measure a picture by Ito 51Ze—whichotnfor
timately, woo poor Hanlon's practice—we licit draw at
tention to a very small cabinet pointing, (No. 87,) by J.
C. Brown, New York, who has two others in the. Exhibi
tion, not eval to this. The picture has fur its name a
m4.tto.
‘• Twinkle, twinkle, little star—
llow I wonder what you are."
A boy is represented sitting on a bank, with his hands
crossed, while he glances upward and into the far-distant
azure of the sky. curiously watching a star which gleams
there. The quiet abandon of attitude, the utter repose
of body, the dreamy wonder which tills 11e largo dark
eyes, and the expression of the fOatures, 00 completely
in mison with the speculation in the Ana's look; make
this mw of the most attractive, albeit one of the Amalleat,
pictures in tile Academy. Near it, by the way, (.59,) is a

FROM BURNSIDE'S COAST DIVISION.
N HIV ISE RN, N. C., May 10, 1862
[B.pecial Correspondonce of lbe Press.]
The Excitement in Camp
Waiting for a mail." The anxiety to hear from the
North is intense. We have awaited a mail steamer for
over a week—a steamer which would herald the fall of
Yorktown and the success of .‘ Little Mac." It would
oleo NM) the tendency to enliven the troops, as they
centre all their predictiont on the duration or termination
of this struggle on that one centre. We trust the intelli
gence may be speedy, and the victory complete.
Events, since the capture of Fort Macon, are at a
deed-lock. We have continual rumors of picket-skir
mishes, and the endless assortment of false reports to
which all camps and soldiers are addicted. In endeavor
ing to trace them to their source, they invariably end as
they commenced—in just nothing at all. It sets the diffe
rent regiments in an uproar, tad helps to keep up the
excitement. But it has a bad effect, and as General
Burnside has made au example of one person attached to
the division, it is hoped that it will have a beneficial
result.
The Mails
It is wonderful, to ono not posted, to witness the large
amount of mail matter passing through the post office.
The demand for postage stamps is also immenco. Adams
Express Company forwarded, a few days ago, some six
hundred dollars' worth, and the rush for them was so
great that the stock was disposed of in two hours. Since
the stamps cannot be procured, the men invariably fall
back upon the majors of their respective regiments to
endure their letters for them_
A Review.
We have a review now and then, to keep up the ex
cellent discipline of the regiments. The brigade of Col.
ni.1 , 41 , 6 wee reviewed by Oen_ Ilurneide a few days

ham. The regiments acquitted themselves in a very
creditable manner, and ably 9natained the honors of the
Eccond brigade.

Colonel Ferrero's brigade is attached to General Ite

"fighting brigade" at Roanoke Island, Newbern, and
Cowden, And homelier, in whateyor bloody field they
may have to battle for the right, that division wilt
never permit their well-earned laurels to be tarnished.

A Contrabandish Idea of War.
We were passing along the wharves, a few days ago,
wondering at the amount of lousiness that was there
treneastrd. While standing observing a cargo of honied
being transferred from a vessel to the shore, an "old
contraband" appeared at our elbow, touching his old fur
bat, and scraping en enormonsfuot. He opened his bat
tery upon us with the following:

Rejoicing.
A Ri me of thirty. four guns was area from the fort,
just beyond the city, a few days ago, in honor of the cap
ture of the city of New Orleans. The guns were served
in a masterly manner, and belched forth, t 9 re b e l eats;
in thunder tones, that another of their reputed strong
holds had fallen.
A New and Terrible War Weapon
Dr order of Oevornor Curtin, it is estpected that tho
Fifty-first Pennsylvania Volunteers will be furnished
with a battery of two of the newly-invented guns, which
axe easily transported, and are capable of discharging
one hundred one-ounce belle or minute, If the weapon
is approved by the general of division, the guns will be
forthcoming imzediately. One man can carry the gun
proper, and it requires but five men to man it in action.
Once get the range of the enemy, and no force could
eland against a regiment capable of discharging a volley
of two hundred balls, from a squad of ten men, per
minute, not considering the havoc the remainder of the
regiment were creating with their Eufielle, It is very
probable tbat the weapons are already on their way
hither. Should the Fifty-first obtain another show,
armed with this new weapon, "somebody will be hurt."

[From the Richmond Examiner, May 8.)
Highly Important from the Peninsula.
There was quite a breeze of excitement yeaterday over
a reported victory of no ordinary dimensions on the pe
!amnia. We were informed on Tuesday evening that
the adjutant general had received a despatch, of an affair
of cavalry that had occurred on Monday, and that it was
" even more brilliant than Captain NVickham's affair ;"
but this despatch was understood to have been eent to
President Davis, and a copy could not be obtained for the
Drees, Yesterday ,hie news was magnified into an ins.
portant battle, with the roost serious consequences---nine
hundred prisoners taken and a most magnificent prize of
artillery.
'Jima fact is that the affair is named by General John
ale& as a, U 1.5.0,61454 II Mat', itad WA doubt hat that a
considerable triumph was achieved lry our arms, although
very much below the importance attributed to it by the
wild and ignorant street rumors of yesterday. It appears
ft on) what can be learned that the affair took place at Wil
liminaburg. The enemy attacked our rear guard in great
force, and were driven back to the woods about a mile.
The troops principally engaged on our side were those
commanded by Generals Longstreet and Stuart.
The news ens magnified at different periods of the
day, First It wee Muted that the BUMP had been coot,
pletely repulsed, with the loss or Several hundred pri•
Boners. This rumor was traced to a soldier who arrived
this morning from below, and solemnly affirmed that a
letter from General McLaws to General Cobb was read
in his hearing, communicating the above information.
Later in the day the affair wan magnified attain; and it
was asseverated that the Secretary of War had received
I an official despatch stating that the lose of the enemy was
I heavy, that we had taken nine hundred prisoners, that
we bad captured ten or twelvepieces of artillery, and that
us bad lett an the bloody field five hundred in billed and
I wounded. Now, the Secretary of War received no such
official intelligence. What he did receive was a despatch
I front Genera! Magruder, which was written at Westover,
and reached hereby way of Petersburg, and that despatch
I stated that General Magruder had heard that such were
the results of the action.
I Later from the Peninsula—Monday's
Battle.
We obtained last night additional partieuters of the
action on Monday. General Longstreet's division, about
• six thousand strong, was engaged with the enemy from
sunrise to sunset. The action occurred about a mile below
Williamsburg. The fighting is described to have been
1 very severe, but the enemy was repulsed and driven back
1 at every point.
At one time, under the deception of a white flag, a
considerable portion of the enemy got within forty paces
of our lines. The flag wss carried in front by a small
I party, while the main body were concealed in the woods
and lytng down In the tomehee. A. mnrAeroun fire was

The courier left at twelve o'clock, at which time the
action had become general. The fighting commenced in
the morning with heavy elcirmishing. The statement of
the courier is that in the morning's fight we had repulsed
the enemy four times.
At a later hour positive information was received that
the enemy were landing immense forces from their gun
boats and transports at Barrow's Mills.
This demonstration of the enemy appears to imply a
flank movement with their transports.
Heavy Mortality among Rebel Officers.
[From the Richmond Dispatch of the Sth.]
An official despatch Wes YeeleiilaY morning received at
the War Department, giving intelligence of a severe en.
- tenement near Williamsburg, on Monday, in which the
enemy were repulsed with a heavy loss in killed and
wounded. They alto lost twelve pieces of artillery, and
919 prisoners'. The fight lasted from 7 o'clock to 11
o'clock A. at.
The troops engaged on our side consisted of a portion
of the eivieion of General Longstreet.
An official letter front General Johnson states that , e a
handsome affair" took place at Williamsburg on Hon.
day. The enemy attacked our rear guard in groat
toms, and were driven back to the woods, about a mile.
Our latest information is complete upon the main
Pointe of the result of the engagement. Our loss in
killed and wounded was two hundred and twenty. The
Federal grit mere captured by our forces numbered six
hundred and twenty-three, and the number of field
pieces eleven. The extent of their casualties is not cor
rectly known, but it is believed that their loss amounts
to upwards of a thousand in killed and wounded Thor
numbered six thousand strong, and wore deployed in a
skirt of word opposite our position, from which they
were driven, subjected to a disastrous fire from the right,
left, and front. The prisoners taken were yesterday on
their way to this city, and were expected to reach tors
last night. They were but a law miles from the city late
in the afternoon. They were marched by land, under
guard.
Amorg others killed or wounded we have the names of
the following officers: Killed—Colonel Ward : of the
Fourth Florida Regiment ; Major William H Palmer,
of the First Virginia Regiment (and eon of Mr. William
Palmer, of this city), and Captain Jack elfumphreys, of
the Seventeenth Virginia Regiment. Wounded—Colonel
Corse, of the Seventeenth Virginia Regimenti Colonel
Kemper, of the Seventh Virginia Regiment, and Colonel
Garland, of Lynchburg, severely.
Another heavy battle took place yesterday, near Bar
bainsville, in the county of New Kent, but with what
result was not known, at the courier who brought the
intelligence to this City left at twelve o'clock. The
enemy landed their forces from gunboats (twenty-four in
number), at or near West Point.
The number engaged on either side is not known, but
that of the enemy was supposed to be very large. A
general engagement of the two armies is expected The
loss on both sides in the fight of yesterday was very
heavy, ours believed to be not less than 1,000 up to 12
o'clock. The enemy had, up to that hour, been driven
back three times to within range of their gunboats.
Later.
At a late hour last night we learned some further par
ticulars of the fight on Monday.
General Early is mortally wounded.
Genettil Andeliell, of North. Carolina, Me believe,

We learn that Gen. Magruder has been for several
days quite sick at Westover, on James river.
The enemy had not occupied Jamestown at slx o'clock
on Tuesday evening, but wore in large force at Grove
wharf and Ring's mill. They are also understood to he
landing forces at West Point.

Fears for Richmond.
[From the Richmond Dispatch, Oth inst.)
learn through Copt. Hill, of the Bi6 , 11)1411. Selllllb,
who arrived here last night at 10 o'clock, that our batte
rise at Day's Neck and Hardy's Bluff, on James river,
were attacked by three of the enemy's gunboats yester
day morning at g o'clock, and eilencod in a short time.
The steamers Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson
both arrived here yesterday evening at a late hour, and
are now at Drury's fluff awaiting further orders. It is
believed that the river at that point will be properly
obstructed by (he sinking of boats and Vessels.
One of the vessels which attacked our batteries at
short range was the iron-clad steamer Galena. The two
others were supposed to be wooden vessels.
We learn from Capt. Hill that he was ;meted sy or
dered by General Magruder (now sick at Westover) to
take on at Berkley Wharf 170 barrels of flour and a largo
lot of bacon and beef, awl proceed ai 012e8 up Onicka
hominy river to supply the Commissary Department of

without delay; but upon arriving at Shop wharf, on
James river, tecelved a letter from 'William H. Southall,

was stated that a heavy tight was then (Wednesday eve

Expectation of the Enemy.
The easy surrender of New Orleans has 'aspired the
New York journals with the pleasing conviction that the
capture of Richmond is a matter to be accomplished with
equal taco. They will be undeceived whenever they
mho the adompt, No Poothora petition capable of de,
fence has yet fallen into their hands, except through
rank treason. There is no more chance for treason, now
that our eyes are open. If they get Richmond it will be
through seas of blood. The spirit of the South has been
only roused by its adversities, and it is a long lane that
has no turn. We rather think this long turn in the Tan.

the judgment of the commanders of the muitary forma
holding it, it has been found necessary to preserve order
and quit tby the enforcement of martial law. Even du
ring the interim from its evacuation by the rebel soldiers
and its actual possession by the soldiers of the United
States, the civil authority found It necessary to call foe
the intervention of an armed body, known as the it Eu

to be governed, until the rentbratlon of the United/Kates
