Tx DARK DAYS OF THE RE
PUBLIC.

7e fall Of Fort Doaolson on Saturday last,
tbsracuaton Of Bowling Green and the uneK-
plsed agreement to surrender Nashville on yes
tery, have forcibly engendered the couvictionin
tbeublie mind that Gen. SYDNEY JOHNSTON has
bss out generated by Buell. In the progress Of
arr operations in Kentucky. We have no dis
psson to harshly judge him in this matter,
buhe fact Is too pzlpable for denial that some
of IS blunders have stleast temporarily trans
fsrd the war from Kentucky to Tennessee soil
the events Of the last few days we witness
disters which viii arouse the spirit Of our
pese throughout the whole Confederacy.
Tire is nothing, it is true, in the surrender Of .
cit or the fsu of 5 fort, 10 discourage or alarm
Us. Such things have happened before without
prcing the harbingsrs Of ~subjugstion or of
fad disaster to e nation struggling bravely for
itsreedom. The price of liberty is blood, and
if e would obtain the boon, we must pay the
pre-. We cannot expect to achieve our indie
pedenoe without undergoing at least some Of
th, hsrdships and incurring some Of the mis-
for1nes and obstacles that befell our forefathers
in he dark days Of the American Revolution.
tn colonies passed through the fiery ordeal of
dsiat after defeat, and were baptised with CON
final disasters, without allowing a cowardly
dssair to safe upon their hearts.
When the Brita;ns captured Charleston and
Saunnab, and rou-ed the Continental forces at
Camden, Sosth Car lima, there was no thought
Of s%uurendEi nor even yet when defeat overlook
the American army at Banker I'll, and General
WlsHISeTss was compelled to evscuste New
York, and askea Precipit4te retreat, leaving the
snow stained with the blood OF his bare-ooted and
soldiers.
These disasters only nerved a brave and in
Tiacible people . renewed discrimination. The
dark hour oil trial was upoa them, but they saw
the Light Of victory pseTing through the clouds
in the distance. Stall We be less brave, reso-
lute or seitsacTiaoing than tbeyl Have we
hope tba tney7 On the contrary We have
more 10 geis-by v;otory-mora 70 lose by defeat.
Now il the time TO test the metal of the true
md loyal Patrists, and 20 expose the base trea-
ION Of the hyPocrite and tie time server We
nave lot the shadow Of a doubt Of the final re-
Iult IN this conflict even Jet Defeats may
1~rotract the Far, but can subjugate Us never!

Additional Particulars From anO
Esiand.

From the Norfolk Day Book, February Ill
A courier arrived here yesterday afternoon
about three o'clock, from whom we gather thu
following information;
The enemy IN fall force advanced upon Eliza
beth City yesterday, about seven o'clock, and
began an attack upon that place. The citizen.
finding resistance vain, evacusted the place, but
before doing so set fire to the town, and when
on" informant left it was stil in flames.
We have also to record the capture by the
enemy of all our little feet except the Fanny,
or Forrest, our informant was not certain which.
This boat eluded the enemy and made up the
Pssquotank river. She was, however, pursued,
and fears are entertained that she, too, has been
captured. 1t is said that before our boats were
surrendered they were abandoned, and that the
crews succeeded in making their escape. If
this be so, We are ct a less to conjecture why
they were not fred before being abandoned.
The disaster to our little feet is attributed to
the fact that, having exhausted their supply Of
coal and ammunition, they proceeded 10 Elizabeth
City for the purpose Of obtaining a supply
Every effort was made to obtain coal, but with
out success, and on this account the feet was
to return to the island OF lend any assis-
lance whatever to our forces.
All the details as published with reference to
the capture of Roanoke Island are confirmed by
TINS courier lie represents our loss at about
three hundred killed and wounded, and states
of the enemy could not have been less
han a thousand killed. Great havoc was made
among them while coming up the road leading
10 the fort Our forces brought TO bear upon
hem two % Founders, and at every fire their
.anks were terribly thinned. The places OF the
allen, however, were quickly filed.
Pork Point battery was manned by the Rich
nond Blues, and most n0bly did they defend it.
During tho conflict they were attacked by a
Whole regiment Of Zousves, and though com
overpowerod, they stcod their ground
nor did they yield q foot until all the
Command save seven fell bleeding to the ground.
There is good reason TO believe that had Col.
I~eBningsen, with his artillery, been on the
stand, We should not have been forced to sur-
it, The lack Of field pieces was very sad
felt, and had they been at hand, the enemy,
would never have been able TO have
.uded their forces. Col aenniugsen mad orders,
re- understand, to report at Roanoke Island, but
, some misunderstanding he mistook Elizabeth
ity for bis destination. 1t is 10 be deeply re-
retted that this error should have been made. as
he colonel is = brave and efficient officer, and we
re satisfied that had be been present the foe
-ould have been compelled to acknowledge bis
roWess.

pyramids Of skulls marked the sites of once
hourishing towns. These awful consequences Of
defeat nerved the valor Of the Creeks to deeds OF
Immortal heroism. But eight hundred thousand
OF them held at bay and inflicted many a terrible
disaster and disgrace upon the arms Of q power
full nation of thirty millions of people.
For five years this msrciless war was main
tanned, until the whole country was a mass OF
smoking ruins. At last the sympathies of the
Christian world were aroused in behalf Of SO
gallant and devoted a people, and a timely init
nation Of the great powers Of Europe saved
Greece from the alternative which her heroism
hsd determined to accept, in preference to sub
mission. fortunately we need no such inter
vention, but we DO need a ike devotion and
spirit of seIfsacrifee. The issues between Us
and our barbarous foe are to be serious; the
consequences of q defeat must be equally dis
sstreus the shame, the ignOminy and the de-
grsd.tion Of Yankee rule over this brave and
enlightened people, would be even more crush
inc and debasing than that Of the Turk over
he Greek. Let rs then emulate the vsloT and
devotion Of that gallant race, and make this
war of Independence as illustrious as that
which excited the enthusiasm Of the whole
world.

The North is represented to be suffering great
distress in view of the financial difficulties of the

THE ROANOKE ISLAND AFFAIR.
From the Norfolk Dsy-BOok, February IA
ROM FLEET.

To a gentleman attached to the feet in the
waters Of North Carolina, who reached this city
yesterday morning, we are indebted for the fol-
lowing particulars:
The feet after falling back from Roanoke
Island, ran up the PAsquotsnk river for the pur-
pose Of receiving ammunition, which was expect
ed from Norfolk. On Sunday, the enemy's YES
sells crossed the sound, and early on Monday
morning advanced up the Pasquotank river.
Our vessels had then gained the battery on the
river and were drawn up for the purpose of CO.
operating with it if occasion should require it.
Capt Parker. of the Beaufort. was detailed by
Commodore Lynch to the command Of this bat
terry.
Owing to the dense fog which prevailed on
Monday, the Federal feet came within two or
three hundred yards Of our feet and battery be-
fore being discovered. Our fleet was therefore
compelled to retire again, and the battery was
abandoned. Before it was left, however, ell the
guns were spiked.
The feet proceeded towards Elizabeth City,
closely pursued BY the enemy. After proceed
ing some distance, three Of the vessels were
OVertaken and captured, and Commodore Lynch,
together with their officers and crews made
prisoners. The Beaufort, Empire and Raleigh,
however, succeeded in making their escape, and
are now safe near the south end Of the canal.
Capt. Parker, who was in command Of the
battery on the river, is thought to hsve escaped
with his men in the direction Of Edenton Capts.
Hunter and Simms are reported to be on board
their vessels attAe end Of the canal, and Capt
Cook IS supposed to have fallen into the hands of
the enemy.
