The Defences of North CarOIina.-Yhat
the New Regiments will have to do.

the New Regiments will have to do.
From the Richmond Examiner
The recent incursion of the Yankees under
| Gen. Foster into the interior of North Caro-
lima have found Il clear road, and made it
painfully apparent that little has been done to
defend this country. We learn that since this
event, such sense Of insecurity has pervaded
the minds of the people of eastern North
Carolina, that they are now taking measures
to remove their families and negroes to safer
localities. 1t is much to be regretted that the
/ government did not take active steps to secure
the vast surplus of supplies in North Carroll
ma, now so closely threatened by the enemy.
The valley of the Roanoke is said to be
equal to any corn-growing country in the
world. During the past summer the govern
ment obtained as many as 100000 bushels of
corn from the plantations on the immediate
banks OF the river, within a distance of less
than forty miles; and it is no eXaggeration to
say that more than that quantity, even to the
extent Of one million bushels corn, might be
obtained therefrom the ensuing winter, if that
section should be protected from the inroads
of the enemy. 1t is not proper for us to state
what measures are now being taken to OBJ
struct the Neuse, Tar or Roanoke rivers.
But we may state that the whole summer was
permitted to pass away without an effort to
obstruct these rivers. About three weeks
ago gunbOat was commenced on the river
bank-the very time that she ought to have
been completed if intended for defence
In their recent raid into the eastern por-
tons of North Carolina, the Yankees COM
nitted the most terrible atrocities; and it is
not to be wondered at that the people, with
the terror struck into their minds BY recent
events, and with but little assurance of protec-
ton in the future, are now abandoning their
homes and flying in dismay. The most fer
tile districts of the south are passing from us,
one by one, and the government will have
reason to regret the blind and negligent policy
OF surrendering those districts of the country
to the enemy, which are important, not only
as parts of its territorial jurisdiction, but as
sources of necessary supplies.
tBy Telegraph
Petitions are circulating among the people
OF western North Carolina, requesting Gov.
Stanley to order forthwith an election for rep
resentatiyes to congress. Large union and
free labor meetings are being held at various
points in this department, and the addresses
of Foster are producing very happy effect.
The recent expedition sent out from Newbern
was entirely successful. The troops cannot
be dislodged from their positions in this state.
Everything is quiet in this department. The
legislature (rebeD convened at Raleigh on the
18th. Gov. Vance takes strong ground for
the vigorous prosecution of the war, and pro.
poses to raise force of ten thousand men for
the state, to be discharged in the spring in
time for their farming operations. How to
raise this force he leaves the legislature to
decide.

A BOLD OPERATIoN.-A horse and car
rage, belonging to DR.. Murdoch of Leicester,
was taken from one of the streets in this city,
Saturday evening, by some scoundrels, who
drove tito Auburn, where they made serious
inroads upon the poultry stock of three of the
inhabitants, besides stealing the honey from
two bee hives, the property of Mr.. John Mel
fish. The team was found the next morning
near South Worcester. The rascals in re-
turning from this raid, did not seem to be
very anxious to retain all the forage they had
so unworthiy obtained, for many of the fowls
were picked upon the roadside, and two were
found in the carriage.

The Army of the POtOmac-OperatiOns
at Fredericksburg-TheP Probable Point
of Attack.
The reports from Gen. Burnside's army,
Monday, represent everything quiet and with
out material change. The city of Fredericks-
burg had not yet been shelled. The prepara-
tons for further advance are steadily pro-
crossing, and the present state of expectancy
will soon be relieved by prompt and vigorous
action The army is in good condition, and
ready and anxious to.move forward
THE REAL DESIGN
From the New York Tribune
AQUA CREEK, Nov. ga strange report
is in circulation here-Yiz. that the real adj
vance of the army of the Potomac is, after
all, not to take place from Fredericksburg,
but that the movement to the Rappahann6ck
is simply a teint to draw Lees army to it from
It's present position, while the decisive blows
Will be struck IN another direction. Those
that appear to believe this story cannot, how
ever, give it any foundation upon the facts
With the evidence to the contrary in the shane
of rolling stocks for the railroad to Falmouth
the erection of large storehouses and extern
sive piers, it is impossible for me to give it a
shadow of credence. Supplies of provisions
and forage for the army are landed both here
and at Belle Plain (the mouth of Potomac
Creek.) The distance hence to Falmouth is
fifteen, and from Belle Plain nine miles.
Owing to the want of good landing at this
point, most of the transports proceed to Belle
Plain, whence their cargoeS are hauled over
land to the army. Only Franklin's grand di-
vision is supplied from this locality. If the
tales ofthe transfers are true, the roads must
be in the worst possible condition. That wag-
on trains can hardly worry over them is evil
dent from the fact that both men and beasts in
the army have been on very short allowances
during the last two days. Officers have even
assured me that horses and mules had been
without any food for forty hours That, I'M
der these circumstances, movements are out
of the question will be readily understood.
This is about the most inhospitable locality a
mortal can be thrust into. After perilous
landing, involving the risk of an immersion,
if nothing worse, from the necessity of effect
ing it by crawling on all tours over the ruins
Of the old pier burned last summer by our
forces, one finds himself in a sea of mire,
without any chance for shelter or food. The
involuntary solitary sojourners give very
sorry accounts of their suffering during the
days of rain.

REV. Mr.. RossERNGAN, who has been re-
Gently liberated from Richmond (Va.) prison,
where he has been incarcerated by the rebels,
gave an interesting lecture last evening, in
the Universalist church, detailing his expert
ence and giving some sketches of the state of
things in rebellion. There were many
things in this lecture deserving of more ex-
tended notice, but want Of space prevents.
The lecturers statement of the condition
of things at Richmond is not very flatter-
ing for the success of tine rebel cause. The
rebels could not survive the loss of Rich
mond, and that could easily have been taken,
ere this, he thinks, if our generals had avail
ed themselves of their opportunities.

Mr.. ABBoTT's LECTURE.-The opening lee
ture of the Mechanics course was given last
evening, by Rev. John S. C. Abbot. His
subject was "Aristocracy." His aim was to
show the difference between true and false
aristocracy, by which he meant types of
human excellence in character and at
tainments. The subject was illustrated
in the speakers well known interest
ing manner, by reference TO distinguished
personages in history, noted for emf
nent worth, morally and intellectually, as
types of true aristocracy, in contrast with
the false one, founded on birth or wealth.
Appropriate reference was made to the pres
ent war, and the state of southern society
cited as affording examples of the most false
and unnatural aristocrats the world affords.
