Attack on Wilmington.

The Petersburg Express expresses the opinion that
Wilmington, N. c., will be troubled by the fotilia
which is now secretly fitting out by the Yankees for
the Southern coast. 1t says, it behooves the authori-
tiesof this State, therefore, and the people of Will
mington and surrounding country, to LOOK WELL to
their security. 1t isl point of importance enough to
attract the particular attention of the enemy, and it
cannot be too strongly and vigilantly guarded. Our
own impression is, that it has been the point selected
by Yankees for their next occupancy. At all events,
there will be nothing lost by the amplest possible prep
arations to repel an attempt to capture it. There are
other ways of approaching it besides the river.

VN~DIcATIoN.-Capt. N. A. H. Goddin, of Col. Nc
Rae's Regiment, is out in a long card, (too lengthy
for our columns) vindicating himself from the charge
of cowardice that he says has been preferred against
him, concerning his conduct on the Manassas battle
field. Capt. G. says that he and his company went
into the fight in an exhausted condition, having slept
or cat but little for three days and nights previous
That after commanding his company for several hours
he felt physically unable to do SO any longer (being in
feeble healthy and therefore surrendered the command
to his Lieutenants, who led his men bravely and gal
lantly into the positions ordered by their superiors-
that after resting awhile he procured a musket from
one of his sick men, joined the ranks and fought I'M
til shutdown, or until the stampede took place. That
he applied for medical assistance after the fight. and
was ordered into hospital and that finding his health
too feeblet to undergo the fatigues incident to the COM
mand he mad resigned his captaincy, which had been
accepted ind he himself discharged from service. All
of which facts he states he can establish by reliable
witnesses.
We regard Capt. Goddin's vindication as perfectly
satisfactory and feel confident that he is entirely re-
lieved from the Unjust aspersions which some have
attempted to cast upon him.
