The Confederates took possession of Elisabeth
City yesterday at II O'clock after driving cut the
Yankees. Wetook some prisoners The Yankees
fed to. their gunboats The Confederate flag now
Roats over Eizabeth City. G. .
The Confederate forces referred to were most
probably Col Wright's Georgia regiment and Gen.
Henningson with his battery Of artillery. These
forces were, few days since at Nswby's Bridge,
which is about twenty one miles from Elizabeth
City 81
PETERSBURG, Feb. Is 1852.
A dispatch from Nashville, dated 10th February,
half past eleven, A NJ, says the fight was renewed
this morning at seven o'clSck. The conflict is ter
rife, and the loss is heavy on both sides. The en-.
envy was at length driven back beyond his camps,
and two of his batteries captured. He was driven
back at the point of the bayonet.
Federal prisoners who were taken say McCleliand
was in command and has still 50,0 600 troops. Gen.
Pillow commanded the Confederate forces The fed
eral loss at Fort Doneson on Thursday was 500
ours 25. ~
dispatch from Memphis states that McLean's
cavalry routed the Lincolnites in Scott County on
the l4th, killing seven and capturing many horses
and guns. The enemy fed to the mountains in
great disorder. Confederates had three wounded,
aAd none killed. G..
Fort Donelson is on the Cumberland river, in
Tennessee, some 80 or 90 miles west of Nashville.
The enemy is no doubt aiming at Nashville. If
they should succeed in taking that City Bowling

hopes that they will be beaten back. There are

The EnauiFer,s Gross Reflections ON North Car.
oiiaa Troops at Koanoke island
The Richmond Enquirer of Saturday last, joins
other papers in that State in maigningand libeins
North Carolina troops inthe late battle on Roanoke
Island The Enquire. after claiming all the credit
for Virginia troops says:
Indeed, the defeat of our handful of heroes is
attributed less to the superior proves of the
my's hosts, than to the alleged cowardly detection
OF a North. Carolina regiment, whom not even the
knowledge that they fought for the defence of their
own tresides could it appears, inspire with cour-
age to dare the worst. portion of the same regi
nlent is said, however, to have stood their grouad
nobly, and to have calamity vindcated the fame Of
the old North State, sadly jcopardized by her less
worthy sons" 20.
Now, it was exceedingly imprudent in the Engai
rsr to make any such statement the above at tins
time fit be true but If not clearly ascertainsd
to be true before twas made what should be thought
or said of its authori We do not believe it to be
true We believe that the North Carolina troops
bore themselves as we'll in this conflict as the Vrr-
GINA troops; and shall continue so to believe
until we have undoubtcd proof to the contrary.
The Enquirer has made not only grave but a
mortal charge against North Carolinians. Where
are its proofs to sustain this charger If we shall
hnd-as we believe we will-that the Enquirer, at.
ter claiming al the credit for Virginia troops has
lbelled brave soldiers, and if we shall have good
reason to believe that the Enquirer is sustained in
making this charge by the common government at
Richmond, and by any considerable portion of the
people of Virginia, shall advocate the withdrawal
of our troops from the soil of that State and the
adoption of such measures as viii protect own
State against the enemy. We deeply regret to have
to use such language but We shall defend the char
acter of our own noble old State at all hazards.
We have nothing to say against Virginia or Vir-
ginans. We lament the untimely fall of Wise and
Selden, and other glorious spirits from Virginia,
who poured out their blood in that unequal conflict
but while we lay the cypress upon their tombs we
must be permitted to claim for our own sons as
much credit for gallant bearing the occasion re-
ferred to as has been accorded to others.
We are gratitied to state that the Petersburg Err
press and the Suffolk Sun appear to have done jus
tice to the troops from this State.

The European News.

The recent speech of the Emperor of the Ere nch
seems to have set all aback the hopes of those who
have been looking with so much anxiety for the in
reference of France and England in the affairs of
the South. The simple declaration, however that
so long as the Federal government respected the
rights of neutrals he was bound not to interfere,
really indicates nothing. Louis Napoleon is a
deep well, not to be fathomed easily, and what he
may say or omit to say, seldom betrays his real
purposes 1t is evident that the feeling is strong
in certain circles in favor of the South both in Eng
land and France and the intense concern manifested
by the Northern press in regard to this feeling is
an assurance that the North looks for early Tecog
milton and for foreign interference with the blockade
We have never looked for any help from that quar-
ter beyond ordinary consideration and courtesy un-
less we gained it. If We can beat the enemy, they
will extend to the recognition ordinarily bestow-
ed upon conquering people. If We allow ourselves
to be whipped, they will afford US no help, The
successes of either party in the next three months,
will determine the course of England and France
Should we prevent further inroads upon the South
and show our ability to MAINTAIN our independence
a few months longer, England and France may
recognize US, but beyond that they will not go,
less interest force them. Monarchy has no heart,
and its sympathes are not with the weak and the
down trodden. Let US conquer peace and we shall
have it-not before. ls.r

Ths Boovus..

No country on earth possesses more brave, pa
triotic class Of boys than the South. They have
been foremost to volunteer for the war and have
stood in the hottest Of the fight Wsadnife their
pluck. bat We have repeatedly expressed the opinion
that they are more needed in our schools and co.,
eges than in the Geld. Every consideration Of pru
deHf and patriotism, should prompt parents and
guaians to encourage their boys to complete their
education and attain to the strength and endurance
of manhood, before they enlist for the war, and At
tempt to undergo the seventies OF camp life. Our
boys havesuferedsevereiy during the late campaign;
our hospitals have been filled with them and many
bright and promising youth has found an untirDely
grave Perhaps the pressure upon US in future
may demand their services, but the enthusiasm of
youth will not allow them to remain at school,
Had many done so, even, for the year past, they
would now have been better able to fight for the
country. 49, -

The Yankees in AlbemarIe sound,

The Yankees had evacua ed Edenton, and had
gone up Chowan river as far as Coleraine. The ru.
NOR that they had taken possession of HEREFORD,
Perquimans County, and also of Plymouth, turns
out to be incorrect The only depredations charg-
ed upon the enemy said to be his taking some
$4,000 pounds of cotton at Edenton, about 1000
barrels of corn on the Albemarle, and robbing Mr.
Whdbee, on PasquOtank river, of poultry, hogs, &C.
Several Yankee vessels had penetrated into the
lower part of the Chesapeake and Albemarle canal
Gen. Wise with small force was in Currtuck, and

Island.
Fears are entertained that Washington and New

Re ENLISTMENT OY VoLUNTEERs.-The attention Of
volunteers and others is directed the resolutions
offered by Gov. Graham on Thursday last and unani-
mously adopted by the Convention. These resolu.
tons contain true and just views in relation 10 the
service. North Carolina, we believe, is the first
State to call upon the common government to offer
bourties Of land to our soldiers, and pensions in
case of death disability. 1t is also just and pro-
per that the rank and file should have the right to
elect their company commissioned officers, and
the company officers the field officers; and We are
glad the Convention has so decided The right of
the volunteer to say by his vote who shall command
him in camp and lead him in battle, is fundamen.
tai principle which should never be abandoned.
