ton. North Car0Eiasl.

Further particulars ofthe fight at Washing
ton, N. c., of which we have already pub
lished an account, show that the rebel loss was
much larger than was at first supposed.
Nearly two hundred of their dead had been
brought into town, proving that the shell
from the gun boat Louisiana did terrific exc
cution. The explosion OF the ma:sizine of the
gun boat Picket, caused by a man entering it
witha candle, was the cause Of orr chief loss,
eight of the thirty-fve men on board being
unhurt. One brave fellow. after being blown
up in the air, fell into the water near a piece
of the wreck, on which one gun still remained
in position. With admirable presence of
mind, he pulled the cord and discharged the
piece with terrible effect among the rebels,
who thought submarine battery had been
opened on them. The rebels will not attack
Washington again very soon Recruiting
among the North Carolinians is progressing in
the most satisfactory manner, and Major Gen.
Foster expects soon to have in the field large
