THE Federal, boats are said to have passed up

Cbowan River The Chowan is formed by the conhu-

although necessarily small one, owing to the narrow
ness and crookedness of the stream The movements OF
the Lnconite gun-boats would seem to indicate desire
to force their way up far as the Portsmouth Rosd
so as either to ooan possession Of it, or at least cut Oh
communication by that line.
Although capable OF doing much harm to the people
resident on the shores Of the sounds and the rivers emp
typg into them, it is evident that there would be nc
grategec end to be served that would repay the vast
outlay of men and money that the Burnside expedition
has occasoned unless either Norfolk is attacked or pcs
session obtained of some leading line of Railroad, anc
therefore it is we take it, that the attention OF our au
tbortes will be- Or at least ought to be- directed to tn

water communication, leading from the naVIgaole wa

of any of our public works. The Backwater, althoug

From R1oHMoND-A private letter from well IN

West and from Roanoke Island is certainly dlscourag-
ing, but it will undoubtedly have one efect-to awaken
our people and the government from the apparent
apathy into which they seem to have fallen 1t Will
arouse our people to the work before them for fear
there are many who have not yet appreciated the mag
ntude of the war; Our force must be largely increased
by the Spring. or our prospect for the future will be
gloomy"
We confess that we agree with our friend A Ger

This we think is at an end. We feel that the war
spirit of the country is rearoused to more than It's orig
inal strength. We think that the re-enlstments Of
twelve months volunteers will go On to an extent even
exceeding the most sanguire expectation. But iOr
these reveres occurring now, this might not have oeen
the case.
We are also pleased to learn that the Postmaster
General has made proposition to the President OF thu
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad fo
carving mail on that road, that if the proposition
should be accepted to by Mr.. Guon, we will have tn
mail in a very short time.

We HAD the pleasure of seeing this morning gen
teman who arrived here last night from Suffolk, Viz
ginis. There and at the Blackwaer, he saw persons
who had been at Roaut ke among others Captain Stl-
gall commissary or quarter-master of Col. Jordans
regiment
Captain s. lett Roanoke about one o'clock on Sat
urdsv in sail boat He arrived at Elizabeth City
that night and even up to the time of his arrival he
heard firing although the battle was no doubt over long
before night
Captain Stiga says that on Friday there were about
sixty of the enemys vessels in front OF the batteries fnd
on Saturday as many hundred at times, and that
such was the cibre of their guns that their
were threwn clear the island.
The fighting lasted on Saturday for hours, and the
opinion seemed to exist that if the artillery under the
command of COL Hennngsen had got down to the Is,
land our people could have beat off their assaiants In
spite of the disparity Of numbers.
The company that suffered most was that under COM
mapd of Captain W Use, of RichBond, Va, which com
pany was stationed as picket below the lowest bat
tery and at the point where the Zoaave regiment from
New York made landing. They sustained terrible
hand tohand conflict with this whole regiment and were
cut up almost to man.
When Captain Stigall came away he did 50 in Pur
suance of the orders of COL Shaw who told him to save
all the public property be could, and be carried ava!
all the papers, orders and other portable matters.
AT Suffolk our informant, DR.. H. IL. Robinson o
Bladen county, heard any number OF rumors, halt DO
zen in half an hour. One of these reflected on Col
Shaw; about this he made enquiry OF Captain Stgal
who said there was 10 foundation for it so far as
could learn The Doctor also tried to fud out the fat
of any or all the officers from this place with whom
was acquainted or whose name be knew, but could nc
get any information.
