Battle ut Plymouth, N. q.

A large body of rebels marched toward
Plymouth, N. G., on the I'd inst, intend
ing to enter the town and lay it in ashes. -
A native Carolnian, knowing the intention
of the rebels, came quickly to town and re-
ported it to Captain w. II. Ilammell, of
Hawkins Zouavcs. No time was TO be lost.
10 defend the town there was one conpa-
ny F) of Hawkins Zouaves, orc company
Of regularly enlisted loyal North Carolini-
ans, with such other loyal fighting civilians
us the town could furnish.
All hands were quickly at their posts
Half Of the houavcs were sick with the fe-
yer which prevails there at this Season Of
the year, and all of the commissioned Off
GERS were sick, except Lieut.. Green, of the
Zouaves, who was disabled by . wound re-
ceived in former engagement up Roanoke
river.
At the approach of such force some
men. would have said "surrendcr," but this
was not the federal commanders MOTTO
lletook his men, went out on Tuesday, the
I'D inst, and met the enemy three miles
from the town.
The enemy consisted of infantry and cav
airy, the former under Col. Garrett (who
IN fact was in command of the whole force, J
and the latter in command OF Captain Fa-
gan. When the Union forces came upon
the enemy they found them bivouacked in
the woods, intending not to attack before
The next day. A Rebel intended giving the
alarm of tile approach Of our forces by firing
his piece, but it missed fire. Our boys took
this as signal Of alarm, and they dashed
upon them with great earnestness, fighting
the whole force for an hour. In the short
space of an hour they whipped force of
four times their number, captured Colonel
Garrett, their commander, a Lieutenant and
forty prisoners, together with many Of the
ravalry horses. The rebels lost thirty killed
with the ordinary proportion of wounded.
When the enemy broke and fed, the loyal
North Carolinians wers fast and fierce in the
pursuit Of their rebel neighbors. The chase
was given up only when the enemy vas
completely put to flight.
