"A correspondent writing from Colds
boro', under date of the 18th, says that
the fighting On Sunday was very severe.
Our own forces numbered less than
three thousand, whilst the enemy had
at the lowest estimate, twenty thousand.
In the fight of Saturday we lost one
field piece. The battle on Sunday was
commenced about 8 o'clock in the
morning and lasted until 5 in the after
noon. Our men fought with excellent
spirit, and did not retreat until fanked
on both sides. The only open road left
was over the bridge across the Nense.-
After a portion OF our forces had crossed
an attempt was made to fire the bridge,
but it failed, and the enemy succeeded
in crossing under a heavy fire from our
artillery. A number of our men were
cut off from crossing, and it is supposed
were taken prisoners. Our army has
retired to Falling Creek, six miles from
Kinston. Our killed in the fight will
not exceed twenty, but there was a
large number wounded. as

The Capture in Greenbrier.

It will be remembered that some time
since camp of our cavalry in Green
brier county was surprised, and 105 Of
our men, and about the same number
of horses, with their equipments, were
captured. We have been told by one
who got his information from person
from that county, that theenemy charg-
ed upon the pickets and followed them
$50 closely into camp that they could not
give the alarm in time to enable our
cavalry to get ready, to meet them
Their horses were grazing in an enclo
sure of several hundred acres space.
and whilst they attempted to get their
horses, the enemy got between them
and their guns. He says, however, that
the guns would have been of no use as
they had no ananass5tson. This is the
explanation given of this unfortunate
and Notifying capture.

Disruption of States

The Yankee Congress has admitted into the
Union, as State, certain tory counties of North-
western Virginia. The transaction is not of the
slightest validity or consequence, except as
against themselves. Before the war began, it
was seriously proposed in New York that the
city should separate itself from the State, and
declare Itself Independent and free. The right
did not exist, but the Yankee Congress have
now done an act which will debar them from de-
nying the right hereafter. We shall not be sur
prised if this thing gives them trouble at some
future time. The Southern portions of some of
the Northwestern States may choose to break
loose from the States to which they belong, and
cast in their lot with the Confederate States
What will the Yankee Solons say then Rich.
