DISCRETION OF MAINE SOLDIERS.
DR. HUNT SHOT BY GUERRILLAS.

NEwBERN, N. c., Nov. 20, via Fort Monroe.
Yesterday was observed here, as a day of
thanksgiving, by the troops and loyal citizens
of this department.
Twenty-one men of the Maine artillery de-
serted on the night of the 25th inst, in sail
boat, taking with them their muskets, cut
Eases, and pistols. The difficulty appears to
have been about their pay.
On the 26th inst, about sixty citizens of
Newbern left, under flag of truce, for the
interior.
Petitions requesting Gov. Stanley to order
an election for the remainder of the term Of
the present congress are in general and ac-
tive circulation in eastern North Carolina.
DIR. Hunt, assistant surgeon of the 9th
regiment of Massachusetts, volunteers, was
shot by guerrillas on the jamestown road,
near Washington, n. c., few days since
His two companions barely escaped the same
fate, one of them, however, being wounded
DR.. Hunts home is in West Boylston, Mass,
where he leaves wife and child. His body
has been embalmed, and will be sent north by
the first steamer.
Late Raleigh papers received here indicate
strong feeling of disgust with this bloody
war, and a growing and prevalent desire for
an honorable peace.
The village of Greenville, Oh the Tar river,
has been taken possession of by our forces.

New YORK, Dec. A letter in the Her.
aid gives detailed account of the action of
the gunboat Ellis with the rebels. She left
Newbern on the 18th, and arrived at the
mouth of New River Inlet on the morning of
the 23d About five miles up the river she
captured schooner with cargo valued at
$4,000.
At noon she reached the town of Onslow,
where Lieut.. Gushing landed a rebel cavalry
company skedaddlng, and took possession of
the town, twenty-five stand of arms, and two
schooners. Lieut.. Gushing left in the after
noon on his return. While on the passage
down the river he was fired on, but shell ST.
fenced the enemy. A rebel cavalry camp
was also shelled out. The Ellis anchored for
the night, the banks of the river swarmiEg
with rebels.
On the morning Of the 9th, rebel battery
on high bluff was silenced, and afterward,
while endeavoring to pass bar, she got
aground within 300 yards of the bluff A
party landed and destroyed ten whale boats,
thus destroying the means of the rebels for
boarding during the night. After all efforts
proved fruitless to get the Ellis off, all the val
uables were put ON board of the schooner.
Lieut.. Gushing made speech to his men,
avowing his determination to blow the Ellis
up rather than surrender.
All hands volunteered to remain till the last,
but he selected five, putting the rest aboard
of the schooner. At daybreak the enemy
opened with four batteries Their shells and
shot for a time almost riddled the Ellis to
pieces. She replied as well as possible. FL
nally Lieut.. Gushing with his own hand, fred
her in five places and left for the schooner,
through a hail storm of shell. The Ellis soon
exploded, SCATTERING the hull into thousand
fragments. The schooner reached Beaufort
in safety.

HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIELD, Near Abber-
vile, Miss, Dec. 3.-To MAJ. Gen. H. W.
Halleek, Commander IN Chief, Washiagton.
The enemy deserted their Notifications yes
terday, destroying all their stores they could
not carry away with them. The weather is
bad and the stream somewhat swollen, making
it difficult to cross. Some of onr cavalry
swan the river, however, and occupied the
place last night. Pursuit was made to Ok
ford, coming on the rear guard of the enemy,
aAd skirmishing took place, lasting about two
hours, and resulting in the capture of sixty
rebels. The pursuit will be continued to-
morrow, but the roads are too impossible to
get up supplies for longer continuancy of
it. Gen. Sherman is crossing at Wyatt.
