THE ROANOKE ISLAND DISASTER.

Some hope was entertained yesterday by
the public that further accounts would lessen
the extent of our disaster at Roanoke Island.
A foolish report had been circulated in the
city by n military officer that nearly the en-
tire body of our force on the island had effected
their escape, and saycd everything but the
heavy artillery; and the circulation of this
vague and ignorant rumour on the streets re
sived for moment the hope and spccllations
of the public.
The official niforma ton, however, received at
the War Department in dispatch from Gen.
Huger fully bears ont the extent of the dsas-
ter as stated in the mere positive portions OF

The want Of something better to make sport of,
are disposed to poke fun at the "Maiish, as they
style the Malta, who aresdriling here every
day, cold or hot, wet or dry, preparatory to
defending their fresdes and altars in case the
Hessian cut.throats shonld come. This is all
wrong. 1t is true, raw militia, when they
first "fsll in and face to the right" are per-
haps, the awkwardcst looking creatures on
earth. They are pestered out of reason to
keep there feet and hands in the right place, and
all the West Pintors you could crowd around
them cant keep their heads up ; but then peo-
pie who make fun should recoleCt that they
themselves know nothing, except whGt they
haye learned from others, and in large ma
jority Of instances, are class Of persons that
have not capacity sufficient ever to know
much.
We witnessed the militia drill near the Rail
road Depot the other evening and must say,
wc were astonished to zee the improvement
they have made in the short time they have
been drilling The Athens Guard have been
drilling for months and of course are No. J.,
but Capt Russcl.'s Company is very little be.
