Unless there be an army of occupation all along the shore, there will be free communication between Maryland and Virginia. These were masked batteries in reality, for they have been constructed secretly and behind a screen. The Yankees have taiked so much about masked batteries where there have been none, that they will now realize the truth of the fable about the cry of wolt. Th
