TUE NIAGARA. The frigate Niagara and the steamer Huntsville, lately employed in blockading Charleston, have left their station and gone down to the Gulf. A steamer from Havana reports that they have captured a couple of prizes and sent them North in charge of prize crews, mother the cap- craft arc pirates or merely vessels carrying articles contraband of war to the rebel States, is not yet known. A FIGHT OH A FOOT BICE ! On Sunday afternoon, (as -we infer,) a couple of United States guard boats ofl Fort Monroe discovered a rebel batteiy at Sewell’s Point, Virginia, and opened fire On it without waiting for special instruc tions. The batteiy was knocked into pi, in short order, and the traitors took to their heels without firing a gnn. When last seen they were making Fiora Temple time for the nearest timber. Gen. Butler is preparing to embark the Massachusetts regiments at Annapolis for Fort Monroe. When they arrive, there trill be eome exciting footraces among the chivalry of the Old Dominion. 818 lUS POINT OCCUPIED. From tire interesting letter of our Cairo correspondent, in another column, we have the welcome intelligence that Bird’s Point, Missouri* has beeu occupied by a detachment from Camp Defiance, under direction of Capt Blenbam, Gen. McClel lan’s engineer-in-chief. Next to the occu pation of Cairo itself, the possession of Bird’s Point was clearly the most impor tant business of the hour. A paragraph which we clip from the SL Louis Ilemo erat intimates that a nest of Secessionists are arming at Charleston, a few miles south west of Bird’s Point They will doubtless receive tbe attention of Gen. Prentiss or Gen. Hamey at an early day. Now if Missouri is a loyal State, sbe will assist the officers of tbe Government . fct bolding and defending Bird’s Point If Ebe is a disloyal Stale, it follows that the occpnation of Bird’s Point was not effected a moment too soon.

It may be as well to put our forces at Cairo on their gnard concerning some of the means which will be used to elude their vigilance. I have before me a lata copy of the Charleston Courier; not the one published in the Palmet to State, and edited by a big devil, but one which ccme? from the cypress swamps of southeast Missouri, and Is edited by a most contemptible little devil His Charleston is only some thirteen or fourteen miles from Cairo, on the railroad known among men as the Cairo and Fulton. This microscopic little traitor has been to St. Louis to get guns and powder wherewith to arm the citizens of Charleston, and true to the character of South em modesty, no sooner had he done some thing, then he comes home and makes a three column blow about it in his paper. Devil and traitor as he is, he has not di.cretion to keep his mouth shut, but must forthwith lay before his enemies the exact means by which they can prevent such things In the future. From his wordy ana not very clear state ments, It appears the editor of this Charleston Courier y after obtaining his guns in St Loois, had them shipped to Bird’s Point in “long boxes marked hardware,” on board the J. D. Perry, “making private arrangements with Capt. Zeigler, to nave the guns put off at Price’s Landing.” This landing Is a few miles above Cairo, and here the guns were accord* inglyput off and taken overland to Charles, ton. This trick of taking anus and munitions around Cairo overland, might do for a time or two, but it will cease now. The self important exultation with which this bantam editor glorifies the success of his maneuver, is intensely amusing; how the J. D. Ptrry was stopped by the Swallow, which had a cannon on board, how the Perry was board ed oy a file of soldiers,* Commanded by an offi cer whom this witty editor calls “top-knot,” and how the editor aforesaid was maoe a pris oner of war, are all related with Infinite gusto.
