An IsrsRslKw WITH THE MAYOR OF HDBxros, II, q.
A correspondent of the Petersburg Erpr.ss
writes as follows: -
had an interview with the Mayor OF
Edent ton late yesterday afternoon, who left
ssUm koen.on ~ cary yesterday morning. A. has
70 Edenton. and not ganboat could bs seen
ON Albem arle Sound. He thinks the enemy
nave gone round toward Washington Or
NeWbern, but in this opinion l do not Coin
eide. A large feet 10 reported in Hampton
hoads, and the next move will probably Be on
the NansemOnd river or In the vicinity OF
Smithneld This has already been fore.
snadowed IN the CORES; ondenco Of the New
AofR Herald from Fortress Monroe.
Mayor Hall informed me that he was at
Edenton ut the landing of tho Federals. and
me- the gunb0ats at the wharf. In answer
to his inquiry as to the course they fntendea
TO pursue, he was told that private citixens
and private property would be respected. ba {
armed men, commissary stores and arms of
every Kind would be seized. When they com.
menced rolling in the bales of cotton he en- &.
CURED IL tnat was not private property, and
was answered that cotton was contraband,
and would be seized everywhere. He says q
large crowd OF negroes gathered on the wharf.
and the captain OF the gunboats commanded
them to disperse I'M IN ediateIy, or he would
open fire upon them. The darkies scat.
tsred in every direction, Tremendously
frightened. -
1t is rumored that all the prisoners "a ken
at Roanoke Island Will BE- released on parole.
and as the crew Of one Of Uom. Lynch g YES
sells captured have arrived in Norfolk, on
parole, there seems to be some founda ton for
the rumor. -. ;,
About 10 Of the escaped soldiers, belonging
toCol. Joi dams North CAROLINA regiment, ar
rived here { n Saturday afternoon for Norfolk.
ltseems that but~tWo Of Colonel Jorda an .
companies wore in the engagement, and thev
fought we'll. The other companies, except
Capt. God wins, were held in reserve, until
the surrender was ordered. The compa MES
commanded by Captains knight ana Lille
were in the fight.
