The Privateer Sumter.

The fact that the Confederate privateei
Sumter had again made her escape has al
ready been announced in the Dispatch =
The following statement from Capt. Lyon,
of the schooner Daniel Trowbridge, which
was lately captured by the Sumter, will be
found interesting: -,
When o7erhauled and compelled to sur.
render, he and bis crew were taken aboard
the Sunster, and a prize crew from that
ship took charge Of the schooner. The
Sumter commenced supplying herself from
the schooner, and for three days her boats
we're employed in conveying stores Al
the end of that time, having secured all
they wanted, the fine vessel was fired and
entirely consumed, together with what re-
NAMED of the cargo. The Daniel Troao
bridge was one of the fastest gessels in tne
est India trade, and with a favorable

escaped the Snnster, even with her power

son, up to the capture of Messrs, Mason
and Sidell, there have bean the most sig
oal interpositious Of Divine Power in be-
half of the Southern cause since the days
when the chosen people of God were n,irac
ulously protected by him.
In noticing the folly aud madness Of the
people of the North, and reviewing their
whole policy since the commencement ot
these troubles, the Richmond Enquirer
has the following appropriate remarks:
Spectators of these events, who can
doubt that the Almighty fat has gone forth
against the American Union, or that the
Southern Confederacy is decreed by divine
Wisdom2 The dullest wording, the cool
est atheist, he most hardened cynic, might
be struck with awe by the startling and
continual interposition of power beyond
the control or cognizance Of uen in these
affairs. The incidents of this struggle are
so unparalleled, unexpected, and unac
couutable, on other grounds tits impossible
to avoid the conclusion that the acts Of
men aud of nations are now submitted to
a superior hand. Had but one such event
occurred, it might be reckoDed an ordinary
chance. But each has been followed by
another more wonderful than its predeces
sor; while they all have an identical ten
dency, and move forward, by inexorable
sequence, to the same gaol None of them,
however, and indeed no miracle of mans
history, is more siueularly distinguished
from the common contingencies of earthly
transactions, than the arrest of those Two
Ministers on the mid ocean. Who thought
when the Trent was announced to sail
that on its deck and in the trough of the
weltering Atlantic, the key of the blockade
would be lost ? Who dreamed that the
chief element in the strife would enter from
that unucticed door? The Hand of God
was here 7isibly extended over the world
men sink to puppets, their works are naught,
their intelligence turns into folly.

Southern advices express a doubt about its cap

count says that we were literally washed off the
Island by the high waters of the river, and not
driven away by the enemy. Another report is that

RE-oReANIzATIoN.-We are glad to announce that

has re-enlisted and organized for the war, by the
election of the following officers: Col. Lane and
1t. Col Lowe, reelected, and Capt. S. D. Lowe,
elected Major.
This we believe is the first IL months N. c. Regi-
rnent which as a whole, has re-enlisted and re-or
ganized Many of the companies of the "B Bethel
regiment" were before them, but no entire regi-
ment that we know of has reenlisted for the war
except the 2sth. This is noble example, which
we hope will be followed at once by all our reg-
ments. 1t is probable that individual members Of
all the regiments may not be able, owing to circum
stances at home, to reenlist but we trust that no
man who can remain, will abandon his post at this
period of his country's peril Six months more
will probably terminate the hard fighting OF this
year. if not the war; and surely those of our brave
men who can possibly remain, will not abandon the
contest, in this hour of trial

Burnside's Movements.

Almost ali communication seems to be broken off
between Gen. Holmes and Burnside's lines, leaving
us to doubtful rumor or conjecture as to his move
ments. We hope, however, that Gen. Holmes finds
some means by which to ascertain something defn-
tie from beyond his lines, about which he properly
preserves q careful silence.
1t seems to be understood that Fort Macon will
be attacked sooner or later, and it is rumored that
Burnside has 1O,O 900 troops in Carteret His force
about Newborn at this time, we understand, is est
mated at from Is to 10000. He is said still to be
entrenching and fortifying A late rumor states
that our prisoners have been sent off North. 1t
is also stated that lady of Newbern who left early
this week, on applying for passport to leave for
Goldsboro, was told by Burnside that if she would
wait a fortnight he would escort her to that place
himself She respectfully declined the proffer, and
assured him of Uarm reception when he reached
that place.
About II steamers were reported in Edenton
bay, at last accounts. We have heard no conhrna
ton of the rumor that number of our militia were
captured near Elizabeth City.

sionary Society, be directed by the oard,-that
Dr. Huston, be employed to collect funds for the
Sabbath School cause,--that pastoral address be

the support and travelling expenses Of the Bishops
be apportioned as follows among the Conferences:
The support of Bishop Soule to devolve upon the
Tennessee and the Memphis Conferences; that of
Bishop Andrew upon the Alabama, Louisiana and
Florida; that of Bishop Paine upon the Mississippi
Texas, East Texas, Ouchita and Arkansas that of
