Late Successful RccOnnOisancCs I'm
this Department.

Three successful reconnOisances in
force have lately been made under the
direction of Col. Howard, of the Ma
rine Artillery. Tho first consisted Of
a portion of the Marine Artillery, on
the "Massasoit," ," and proceeded on the
river Neuse as far as Swift Creek
iecia party of flle enemy oiistha
shore, they fired several shells into
them. They, then, landed, and captured
two prisoners, with horses, and equip
ment complete. They then pro-
ceeded fourteen miles further up the
Neuse, when, finding no enemy, and
having orders to be at Newbern the
same night, the expedition returned.
The second reconnaissance consisted
of the same boat, together with the"Pi.
lot Boy" and the navy gunboat"Ellis,
under the command of Lieut.. Porter.
The expedition proceeded to within
seven miles Of Kinston. No obstruc-
tions were discovered until reaching
this point, when sunken piles were OBJ.
served thro' the ripping of the water.
A rebel battery on the left bank was
also discovered. Several officers land.
ed upon the right bank, and made a
careful reconnaissance. The gunboat
fired several shells into the battery,
which made no reply. The object OF
the reconnaissance being accomplished,
the expedition returned.
Thethird reconnaissance was made up
the Trent Road, in conjunction with
the seN I'D 1t consisted of infantry
in wag' rs, cavalry, and artillery, un
der the command of Lieut. Col. John
Mix, of the 3D. N. Y. Cavalry. Upon
reaching the forks of the Trenton and
Kinston roads, and driving in the reb.
el pickets, It turned towards Trenton,
when, after q severe skirmish With the
rebel cavalry, routing them and cap
turing several, it burned the bridge
over the Trent. The force then coun
termarched, and advanced about five
miles in the direction of Kinston,
when, upon signals received from the
boats, that the river expedition was on
the return to Newbern, it also returned
the soldiers all in excellent spirits, and
without the loss of q single man.

A gentleman direct from Kinston. N. c., in
forms us that two negro men were executed al
that place on Friday last, by order of Col. Sol.
Williams, the military commandant of the
post. One OF them was named Fred, belong
ing to the estate of the Rev. W. P. Biddle, OF
Craven county the other named Jack, was
owned by Mr.. Elisha Coward, of Green county,
n. Z. These negroes were charged with ab.
sconding from their owners, and communica.
ling with the enemy at Newbern also with
enticing other slaves from their owners. These
negroes had been in Jail al Kinston four months,
and no doubt existing as to their guilt, Colonel
Williams determined to make an example OF
them. They were accordingly taken from the
Jail on Friday last, and executed in the pres.
ence of ali immense crowd
Our pickets have been greatly annoyed by
the. repeated attempts oil slaves to escape to
the enemy, and we hope tbpt.thc execution Of
Fred and Jack Will have the effect TO repress
the desire on the part Of others who may have
contemplated departure
Jack is said to have been very active in his
efforts to recruit for Burnsides army, and it is
stated by negroes with whom he had commu-
ncated, that be held commission of Lieut.
Colonel in the Federal army. Fred was r
bright mulatto, and man of more than ordin-
AIRY intelligence lie denied any guilt in the
premises. but Jack justified his course upon
the old John Brown plan. Both seemed very
penitent IN view Of the awful fate impending
over them.
We car but commend the energy and deter
mnation Of Col. Williams, in this whole affair,
aud hope that it may not be without its good
effects in future

receive substantial recognition of their
past usefulness; but, while s,raining every
nerve to raise money 10 pay these Eleventh
Hour patriots, the poor soldiers already in
the field seem entirely forgotten. No funds
are appropriated for the wants of those al
ready disabled by wounds, or debilitated
from sickness. None Of the eloquent gen.
tlemen who address enthusiastic crowds seem
to think of the thing. Many man who
rushed promptly to the aid of his endangered
government would have been greatly relieved
by half the money now lavished on some
recruit, in our opinion, not half as fit for
ibe service.
Z Gentlemen of the North this is hardly the
I" fair thing" we are willing that all who
enter the service Of their country should
have all that their country provides, but this
munifcently rewarding men who have
Jagged behind, and only entered the army
when decided advantages are gainedby it,
while those who have been standing for a
year or more in the "imminent deadly
breach,' and holding the government in
safety behind the line of their trusty bayo-
nets, are left out in the cyld,-certainly
prompts us to feel that you appreciate what
benefits you personally, more than what has
benefited your government, Of which YOU
profess to be so fond. (Om views Of Justice
would be better met by draft, which
would bling into service those backward
patriots who have lain awake nights plan
ming excuses FOR not going, and rcserving
your surplus funds for those who have al
ready served and suffered, and those who,
coming now, will be added in time TO that
painful list. We are opposed to any course
which leads our own people, or the nations
of Europe, to infer that when our country
needs men to battle for her rights "Patient
Waiting is no Loss" and that the last man
in is 10 receive the highest reward.

For year the contest DetWeen 'le
United States and the Southern Sec
ton of our country has been raging
with daily increasing fury. And, in
deed, it has not been confined to deeds
of arms alone; for the Nations who
were loud to proclaim their admiration
of us when peace, prosperity, and hap
piness reigned over our land, are the
first to exult at our defeats, and, every
disaster which may betal our country.
Nations are not different from indi-
viduals; they are just as ambitious,
covetous, jealous and treacherous.
Ofcouye the reasons which actuate
all this foreign antipathy to our success
of arms in the pending contest, are to
demonstrate that Republican Govern
,nents are incapable of endurance,
and that from our crumbling govern
ment may flow enrichment into their
own Golfers.
Its true that, from commercial in
fancy, our country has grown to be
vital competitor Of other nations
that in foreign climes our manufactures
have equaled in every way those of
competing nations,--thati II every ave
nue of industry, education and enter,
prise, we have become, in part, what
destiny declares we shall be in future.
Could foreign merchants and mann
facturers watch all this growth and
success without jealousy, and deter
mination to put forth the moral weight
of their nations to cripple these sources
of greatness and wealth 1t was the
policy of economy to withhold these
influences.
All their strong professions of friend,
ship, which fate has unmasked, ,--theil
ludicrous hypocrisy - and all their
alertness to break the fair beauty and
progressive tendency of our govern.
ment, and to make its W ounds more
and more horrible, will call forth the
retributive vengeance of an honest
dealing future. 1t is not one of the
laws of civilization and progress that
the government of the sea and land
shall rest with our transatlantic
friends. From the worlds beginning
all the noble and ingenious creations
of art, thrift, ard rospeli y have grad
ually crept from where the sun rises
and will ultimately settle upon oul
hemisphere. These we hope tc
earn by our vigilance and prosper
ity. Any opposition, therefore, tc
the law of progress, will not avail them
a jot, and will produce as recompenst
for their labors the satisfaction which
the mirage of the desert gives to the
weary and thirsty traveller

rIunc.,nusen Eclinscd.

We have often had the pleasure of
listening to tales of wonder, stories of
great fish, and sailors yarns. In our
youth we pondered over the genii and
ghouls Of the Arabian Nights,-tlle
Princess of Persia's cream-tarts and
EAladlia's sswondcSfials ls'npss No.ass
vaured with staring eyes and open
mouth the miraculous tales of the Bar
on Munchausen. We read how the
launches of his war-horse, severed by
a portculis, then planted with cherry
stones, and afterwards reunited, pro-
duced perennial shade Of cherry
boughs for the rider of the noble ami
NAL; how the Barcn, travelling in
snow-clad Sweden, and at night tying
his horse to seeming post, found him
next morning, after thawing night,
dangling from the spire Of a lofty
church ; how his dog pointed at sea,
and how soon after covey of par
tridges, all alive. were discovered in the
belly of a shark how, a slut chasing
a hare, both animals Uttered, and how
one litter caught, and brought in the
other. We have read and wondered
at all these things, but we find them
not only equalled, but surpassed by the
following most extraordinary tale that
we copy from the Petersburg Daily
Express, Of July 23d, We beg leave
to add a few further interesting par
ticulars. The number of negroes "al.
most totally extcrminated" was exactly
three hundred thousand and one. They
all died exclaiming that they were hap
py now. The boy "Jack" was not q

Reported Rebellion on ROupolte TsInnd-
AAeavy nnding-Niiliiary Execution
In North Carolina.
By the tram from Weldon yesterday after.
noon, we understand that it is currently report
ed in Eastern North Carolina that rebellion
occurred recently among the contrabands on
Roanoke Island. 1t is stated that the negroes
becoming dissatisfied with the harsh treatmen,
of their newly-found masters, took advantage
OF m opportunity presented while the Federals
were at dinner, with stacked arms, to seize the
muskets, with which they opened upon the
Yankees, and killed several. Great consterna
tion was produced among the soldiers on tn,
Island by this unexpected attack, but they
soon rallied, and recovering their guns, com
nenced an indiscrimnate slaughter which wa
only ended with the almost total DETERMINATION
OF the negroes, We give this rumor as i
reaches us, without vouching for its authcn
ticliy.

We well recolect how our ond mothers
used to labor TO impress upon our minds
this golden maxim, and how childish mpa-
tience preferred, in its pursuit of pleasure,
the much more prompt motto,
"Ne'er till tomorrow sun delay
Whatever can be done to day. "
Little did we think that the princi
pie of the first would ever be so fully
and ably indicated as it has been and still is
by the people of the North. The first gun
fired upon our flag as i. noated in the breeze
one bright April morning, reused the in
dignaion of all the loyal hearts in the land;
nd, at the call of the President, hundreds Of
thousands of strong hands were raised aloft
to sustain the old flag, as it trembled in dan
ger. The patriot soldiers leaving friends
and home to battle for the right were blessed
and cheered as they turned their faces from
their friends, to vindicate on well fought
Golds, the honor, fidelity, and determination
of The North. They were called the "Sa-
viours of the Country, "" Worthy descend
ants Of our Patiot Sires, I" and everything
else which was high sounding and fatter-
ing. Those who remained behind read in the
papers that they might expect nothing from
the people, but that the brave boys who had
gone to the war should have it all, glory,
position, money, everything heart could de-
sire. A year passed and a remnant Of
those brave bands stood beneath their ban
ners doing all that men ever have done,
ever could do, TO wrest victory from out
numbering foe; but they were not enough,
and the cry went through the nation "morc
men, give us more men. Then 1t was tina,
the wisdom of patient waiting became ap
parent. Large sums were raised to pay the
laggard patriots for at last vcnturing into
the field; great battles had been fought
where only their presence was wanting ,c
Insure victories; and, as if to reward then
for remaining away, liberal bounlics arc be
ing paid them, at last TO come. Were it lef

of logic who should receive additional re
