Number Of wooden guns 81
The guns were pine logs, charred black with
muzzles delineated with chalk, and properly pro-
trUded from the embrasurss
No real guns had ever been mounted This
was the representation made by the negroes, and
the appearance inside of the work proves this
representation to be correct.
A negro, who had been kept at work for
months by the Confederates, reports them as
having said that these pine logs would answer
just as well to "skeer the enemy"
OF the numbers Of the Confederates, the
highest estimate obtainable from the negroes,
was sixty thousand men, and this was predica-
ted upon basis of one s ousand men TO a regi-
ment, which is double the actual fact The bulk
of the Con5ederstes were at Centervilie, as ap-
pears by the huts in which they lived. Our in
formant says that the most intelligent person be
saw thought that the number at CenteTville was
twenty thousand. The Confsderates had had at
Centerville about twenty pieces Of field artillery.
The Notifications at Manassas, five in number,
had been mounted with real guns, and guns,
too, of good size and description. But, of
course, they were not formidable to those who
kept out of their reach, and these works could
easily have been passed on either flank and re-
duced By cutting off their communications in
the rear, if direct assault was not thought de-
siTable.
But the works at Ceuterville were a mere
sham, built only to skeer, and most admirably
serving that purpose
1t was for the nineteenth century, and for This
new world, that these performances on the Po-
tomae were reserved. TIE old world was too
much exhausted, and former centuries had not
the necessary science and money, even if they
had the genius. An army nearly double that
with which Louis Napoleon fought the battle Of
Solferino, held st bay, tor nobody can teB how
many weeks, by thirty-one wooden guns, is
something which mankind never saw before and
may never see again. Let us of tie eotempO-
rary generation rejoice that it has been cur pre-
eminent fortune to witness it.

and that if the Office becomes vacant during the
term, the functions thereof must be exercised by

Occupied in discussing joint resolution to pro-

The Invaders at Washington, North Care

From the Wilmington Journal
By private letter fro u Washington, Beaufort
county, kindly shown to us, we learn that on
Friday morning, 2lst inst, news was received at
Washington that five Of the enemy's steamers
were approaching At the pilings in the river
they were obstructed and met with some delay
in disposing of the obstruction, but succeeded
IN blowing it up with their submarine battery.
Between one and two o'clock two of the boats
came up to the wharf, and their commander put
his foot on shOre-said he was glad to find so
many TO meet him, he hoped they were all good
Union men, and woe to the Secessionistsi
All the way as they came up to town a splen-
did band played "Dixie" and "Auld Lang
Syne" On landing they formed a line headed
by the drum major. a big stout man with tre-
rnendous cap and big feather IN it, and q NAL
let IN his hand. They sent for the authorities,
and when Sheriff Campbell and clerk of the
court, COrden, approached, they asked for the
court house, to which they went and hOisted the
Federal flag, playing Yankee Doodle, Hail Co
lumbia the Star Spangled Banner, and Dixie
The flag being up, they gave repeated cheers.
Our people preserved the utmost silence, mani
testing much humiliation at the proceedings,
but, under the circumstances, there was no help
for it.
They said particularly they didn't want the
negroes and if one came on board, they would
=
in Mr. Myers ship-yard, and took a parcel Of
tools belonging to one of the workmen. They
eut up the gunboat on Farrow's ship-yard, and
.would.have burned it, but they said they feared
firing the town. They demanded the lantern
that had been taken from Hatteras light, and
threatened to hold Mr.. Myers, in whose ware
house it had been stored by the collector, re-
spoHsible.
They threatened to have Mr.. Myers and Mr.
L
said they intended to bring light draft steamer
/ for the purpose There was a hundred soldiers
| only at the hosting of the flag, and they were
very handsomely equipped and splenddly arm
ed. When they left they said they would senc
boat occasionally to look around. They made
no arrests nor said anything about the oath
They expressed themselves disappointed in moi
finding more Union feeling existing, particularly
in the Mayor, who had been represented 20 then
as Union man. They said they brought iou
| thousand men, the steamers in which they were
I beinC anchored balO1v
