ROANOKE ISLAND.
The following paragraph is taken from The
Raleigh N. & Staadard, of the 23c
This is an important strategic point for the
protection Of the region bordering upon 4 j.
bemarle Sound, and TO check any rear move
ment of the enemy against Norfolk. 1t is
therefore OF great Importance that The eyes
Of President Davis and Gov. Clark should
be directed 10 that point. The iatinations
FROM the Norttl are strong that the enemy
Will soon attempt 10 assail Roanoke islam {!
with a strong force from HatttriS, under Gen
Mansfield, an experienced officer. Have W.,
an experienced officer i'll command at tia
point? Have we sufficient army and ma
val force there TO resist the invader success
fully There Is perhaps, greater danger at
that point than at any other, If Hatteras is

envy. We beg the earliest attention o. the
Government TO this matter.

We observed among the numerous contri

How the box ran the blockade, we are nor
prepared ts say; but it viii, no doubt, be
gratifying TO orr wounded soldiers to know
that they have the sympathes OF the darl-e 20,
Senoritds of Cuba and we NAV well in fer
that, since we have the encouragement OF the
ladies there, we mast also have the good
wishes OF the men. With these, it may not De
long ere Spain will take the initiative in re-
cognizing our young C0ntederacy.
