ENLIsTMENTs AT THE NORTH.
! II we are to believe the Yankee papers, the pros
pect of raising the 800 900 men just called for by
| Lincoln is anything but encouraging They repre-
sent the spirit OF the people to be very unfsvorabie
to vol lntary eustnents and speak Of the draft as
the only reliance. While We are disposed TO believe
that this pretty generally the true aspe OF the
matter the North, our belief IT, nevertheless, not
founded upon the s'atemsns OF the Yankee journals
! tba fha
their minds and measures TO be influenced by such
worthless Authority. We should act entirely upon
the assumption that the 300 600 men called for Will
be forthcoming, and not heed anything in the Lin
coin papers 70 the contrary.
THE MISUNDERSTANDING YANKEES.
We stated yesterday that force of thirty men, |
rent By Gen. Mcclellan, had yisit Eppess Island, |
James River and stolen ther from o. which,
in connection with 40 previously stolen, deprived
Dr. Eppes the owner OF every slave he possessed. |
We understand that the number stolen this week
was 60, and not 90, as stated by They had on a
former visit stolen "a. The whole number taken is
1903. We were also mistaken 10 stating that these
were all the Doctor owned He had removed pre-
yiously 15 and these oil that he has left out OF
Il8. We suppose that Mcclellan is endeavoring 10
propitiate the wrath of Greeley, Chandler & Co.,
by this Wholesale system OF negro-stealng which he
has commenced on james River
THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAvORS. /
The Yankees cert inly thankful for small ia
vors. Gen. Pore, whore lying dispatch regarding
Gen Beaur, CARDS evacuation OF Corinth, has rem
dered him Infamous, has seized the opportunity |
offered by little raid of Yankee cavalry on Beaver
Dam Depot, Va, 10 forward TO the War Depart
ment at Washington bulletin which, as Gen. Beau
regard said about his former dispatch, contains as
MANY falsehoods AZ lines.
How different with our Generals. Affairs OF con-
siderable magnitude are allowed TO pass by them I'M
noticed. The battle below Williamsburg was one
of the hardest fought that has taken place during
a.
the war; there were several Thousand engaged on
both sides aud the struggle was protracted through
many hours. All tho notice that Gen. Johnston
ever made Of this engagement was TO cay, ia letter
to the War Departments. quite handsome AFFAIR
took place near Williamsburg, Monday. Mcclellan
sen. in lengthy report OF the same affair, closing
with a monstrous falsehood when be stated that
the Union forces had achieved great victory.
REPORTED MASSACRE ON ROANOKE ISLAND.
Tie Richmond Dispatch Of the I'D says:
II ia believed in Eastern North Carolina that an in.
nsurrecon has taken place among the several thou
sand runway negroes on Roanoke Island. IL ID said
that becoming dissatisfied with the harsh usage ex
perienced nj the hands Of their new masters, they
took advantage Of an opportunity presented while
the Yankees at dinner, and, seliDg the stacked
ARMS fired into them and killed several. 1he Yam
KEGS recovering from the panic in which they were
at first thrown, retook their guns and siaughtered
almost every negro on the island. |.
From the postmaster at Godsboro' we learn that
heavy firing was heard in the direction OF Newbern
op Monday evening beginning as and continuing
T'br Eugmfrir of the same day, contains the fol-
lowing: I've learn by a gentleman from North
Carolina that the Yankee forces on Rosnoke leland
having become very oppressive III their measures
toward the negroes in their employ, the latter few
DAYS ago. rose upon the Yankees and killed large
number OF them. Subsequently the Yankees armed
themselves with reyolvers, and assaered SUI OF the
negro laborers. The next day the Yankees cvacu-
ated the Island. Is
GEN. BEAUREGARD. Il
As MANY idle stories have been gong the round =
of the papers relative to Gen. Beauregards where
about and the cause Of bis absence from the army
think it well TO state that be Is at present Win
lis family as Badon Springs, South Alabama. III
will lie recollected that Zen. Beaurgard TOOK the
field in the Southwest when fortunes In that
quarter were vt their darkest period In the active
campaign which ensued aud in The perfect orgsnzs,
ton Of the immense army at CorDth he performed
labors which seriously affected his health and ren-
dered a period Of rest and recuperation absolutely
necessary. Iha, he might enjoy the much needed
rest, he procured relief from his command for
few months. =, l.
We are pleased 70 add that the Generals health is
rapidly improving, and that he will very soon be
able to return to his post. With bic return to active
service the country Will ieel renewed confidence in
its fortunes. [Richmonl Examiner, 9th.
