Col Hawkins, who has just returned from the eX-
coalition to the head Of the island, forty OF MY mics
from here, brings the most encouraging accounts

Soyces with every demonstration Of delight, testify

M furnishing our troops with an abundance Of fresh
beef fsh, CLANS oysters lpe igs, and grapes, which
CROW in great abundance, with other fruits and vege-
tables. Deers and other game are plenty. Salt and
corn meal however, very articles and the
reope have suffered much for the want of these very
essential commodities especially the former, which
they ere much in need of to enable them to pack
down their Winter supply of i5h. knowing thal
these wants will soon be supplied and receiving as
sSrances that they viii be kindly cared for and pro-
tected in all their rights, it has truly made them
grateful people, and they are now, more 'han ever
before able to appreciate the many blessings enjoyed
under the protecting flag of the American hepuo-
tic.
The Indiana troops, who lead this expedition, are
now in honey and clover up to their eyes, and are
delighted with the beautiful country they are now
in possession of, and which they have no idea OF
giving up They are making extensive calculations,
in view of having such fine Winter quarters, and are
too glad to escape from prisoners life on the bank
of the Potomac where they might lie and rot in
defending Washington against an imaginary foe,
who will never accept of the contest at arms to
which they are invited, but, like the red of the
forest prefer to be attacked in ambuscade dark
ravine, where they can shelter their snesking forms
from civilized bullets
Tho people in the interior Of this State are anx-
iousy awaiting the arrival Of Federal troops espe
cially in the extreme western portion of North Caro-
lima, where the Union sentiment is as strong as in
Eastern Tennessee, though not so iudscreetly open.
The outrages perpetrated upon the Union in this
State are chiefly committed by troops from South
Carolina and Virginia, a few Of which have been,
sent here in addition to the North Carolina forces
which were recalled from Virginia. Can any one
doubt the fighting qualities of these persecued Union
men when they shall be armed with Federal mus
kets and led against those who are now taking
much delight in tOrturing these loyal people for the
only "crme" of loving the country OF their fathers
If the Government should take possession Of North
Carolina and satisfy the people of her ability to pro-
tect and defend every loyal citizen in this State, an
army Of at least thirty thousand of the best fighting
men in the world could be enrolled here in less than
four weeks from the time the North Carelinians
were assured of aid Until this assurance ia satisfae-
torily demonstrated, no considerable number may be
expected TO indsc1eety expose then selves targets
to be picked of by barbarous traitors. Without
aims men are powerless, and we all know that five
thousand well-armed men can subject completely |
fifty thousand unsrmed men. This fact has been
demonstrated in every instance thus far slce this
rebellion broke out.
Col. Brown of the Goth Indiana regiment who led
the expedition of Saturday, l find is very popular
with his men and officers He was through the Mex
lean war, where be served with gaantry, and being
strictly moral pan with deep religious sentiments,
be has been able 10 bring raw regiment OF men
into stse Of perfect discipline, morally as well as
otherwise and doubt if finer regiment can be
produced in the country. COL Brown has two broth
ers who are eminent divines be was banker prior
70 entering the field for the second time for his conn.,
try and more energetic and enthusiastic patriot
could not be found. Col. Hawkins in command at
this point, has already achieved much merited pop
ularity by his sagaciy as a SOLDIER and if he is made
Brigadier.General, which bas been suggested in
high quarters, it would be a wise appointment.

Pawnee and the SusquehanDa, having rather a.

The Pawnee leaves tonight for some point not

The Sau Juan was taken on Saturday morning, the

their testimony that the schooner Prince Alfred,
