Fight at Kinston and White Hall.

The fight at Kinston of our small force under
Gen. Evans against at least $4,000 Yankees shows
the ability of soldiers to cope with them at least
three or four to one. About 200 of our men kept
them IN check for day. Our veteran troops, both
from this State and South Carolina, fought we'll, but
none fought better than the raw conscripts in Col
Malletts battalion. If Gen. Evans had had under
his command 1000 men, the Yankees would have
been driven back to Newbern.
At Whitehall the enemy was badly damaged. -
The bridge having been burned, the river divided
tine antagonists. The Yankees were heavily posted
on the south side of Neuse river On. the north
side we had only three companies Of the 59th, Par

one company of the 3lst Regt it is reported, and

manoeuvred by Col. Leventhorpe. His losses were
very small, but those of the enemy severe.

Of its mercilpss visitations. 1t is not ordi-
nary Sore Throat, nor is it Group, thong n
striking analogiss seem'to exist. 1t is

pathology has never heretofore been pro-
,,~rly understood, or nationally explain
I'd It assails for the most part with vio-
lcnce, killing 10 little patient in a few
hours, while in some few instance: its
invasion has been slo Y and insidious.
The cause of death seems to be- the sud-
den formation Of tough, viscil, plastic
secretion, a false membrane. which, accu-
,nulating about the throat completely
obstructs the aerial passages, and the pa

this cxudati"n matt cannot be removed

LETTER FROM RoBT. DALE OWEN.

Has e.. DsE a-ta--l sHr ..a.- tsst z
To the Eon. z. H. Stanton, Sse'y Of Var
Ny political antecedents are known to
you. Always a Democrat, but never pro-
slavery DemocratSY opposed, in principle
and feeling, from my youth up, TO human
avery, but believing, until recently, that,
in the interests of liberty itself, it was the
part of wisdom in the North to abstain from
interference with the danger fraught domes-
tic institution of the Soulh, and TO trust to
time for its eradication; opposed, with
hereditary aversion, to war, was willing,
before the sword was drawn, to make any
honorable concessions that might avert its
horrors.
| But political convulsions bring with them
great lessons and new duties. War would
not, under the Divine economy, have been
petmrtted, as in all past ages it has been, if
| it had not its mission. But to, attain the
good it brings we must recognize its neces-
sites. m
No civil war of proportions so gigantic
as that now raging ever existed In the
1 world before, II differs from all Others both
1 in the results sure to eHsue from its protrac-
ton beyond brief period, and the condi-
tons undr which, out of evil, it may even
tuate in good. In calculating these, time
is an essential element.
Seven or eight bundred millions are
spent. Al the best, as much more is likely
to 60. Two thousand millions or upwards
is not an improbable total. That is half the
national debt of England; and the interest
on it (probably &C almost double the rate
she pays) win make our annual burden
nearly equal to hers. If the war lasts three
years longer, these figures may be doubled.
1t must not last three years longer, unless
we are willing TO risk national bankruptcy
= How is it TO be terminated ss
By concession? That is no longer in our
power. We can buy truce, pau.e, by
concession to the Southi nothing more.
By force of arms, then But if by force,
it must be quickly done. Delay is defeat
\ And il must be effeetually done. After
} one such war the nation may revive, its en-.
erries still elastic, solvent still, and respec.
ted. A second will ruin it financially, tC
saw nothing of worse ruin. To save tht
country, then, tue war must not terminate
without sufficient guaranty against il
resumption. .l ssesa. t-es
How can the war be quickly aud effsctu
ally terminated What guaranty is snfi
cient. that it viii not be resumed ? 4 sd +.
Gradually, very gradually, as this contes
proceeded, have been approaching the con
4 viction that there is but Que such guaranty
the emancipation of negro slaves through
P out this continent. Perhaps-but as 4
: this i am less certain-thst measure is th
9 only sure means of terminating, quicks,
2 and effectually, this war. The recent re
: verse under General McCleilau, the scatter
ed rebel 6res daily bursting forth in State
v which our forces had already overrun, rh
