CAPTURE OF GUNBoArs.-Two cases have re- gently occurred in North Carolina of the capture of Yankee gunboats They are calculated to alay the foolish terror inspired by these engines of war, and to show how worthless they are in operations in narrow rivers, whose banks are in- lIabted by bold and determined men.
 In one case, Capt. Newkirk's cavalry, with a piece of artillery captured an iron steamer in New river North Carolina, and in the other, Capt Whitfords rangers captured gunboat and her en- tire crew in Bay river, of the same State The first vessel was captured at the mouth of New rver after an engagement on our side with two rifle pieces, the Yankee boat having three guns The latter was disabled after sharp artillery du el and abandoned in such haste that the crew left to the captors their rifles, cutlasses, books, caps shoes, anI even their beef and crackers half done -Richaond Examiner.

Coop SPEcULAPloN.-When Gen. Butler tool, comnanI in New Orleans, after the surrender ot the city, one of his first official orders nterdicted the circulation of Confederate notes; which, con stitutin5 the almost exclusive circulating medium, were held in immense numbers. The interictun brought the rebel paper down to fifteen cents on the dollar. At that rate Andrew J. Butler, a brother of the general, and formerly of San Fran cisco, went quietly into the market, supplied with specie from the United States military chest, and bought up all the rebel paper he could get hold of When his purchases were completed, an order was issued by Gen. Butler, commanding the banks of the city to redeem all Confederate paper presented to them with their own paper, spece or United States treasury notes at par. Thereupon Andrew
 J. Butler walked down to the banks with, it is said about $l ,500,00 Confederate notes; for which he had paid fifteen cents the dollar, or $250, ,000 In United States money-rcceived his Sl ,500,000

They did every nScLlei thcy could conceive. They destroyed furniture, iefces and buildings, killed CT muIaJcd every living thing (nyt Luman) that they couid find, killed some negroes, and if they cou!, drove the animals " here they could, they threw animals, dead and living into tie wells, in some nstancts cut guar ter5 from living animals and turned them loose; dragged Mr. Moore. blind these many 1ears, from iii. office and burned 1t: dragged Mr. Cray ens, man these ten Years ani m5Ie confined and utterly helpless from rheumatism, upon lis back oil h.5 bed and around the room, then butHcd his bed ani left him, and rode their horses into the p4rOrs.

Tnc NEws.-From Virginia We have TO further intelligence, except that BIr4sides had concluled that Fredericksburg WAS untenabe anl had re crossej tine Rapplhanock.
 The following dispatcl gives the latest news from Tennessee and Vcilsburg:
 LITTLE ROCK, Jan. 6th, lS62.--By dispatch received yesterday at headquarters, We learn that on the 3lst uit., Gen Bragg attacked the enemy near Murireesb0ro, Tenn, aGd after teirb fight of ten hours duration, drove them from the field. In this splendid victory, Gen. Bragg captUgel 30 pieces of artillery, ,OOO prisoners. incuiing two bri gadier generals, and some two hundred wagons. At Vicksburg there has been no general attack by the enemy that we have heard o!--our aiyices to the Fl inst, when ali was quiet there though a battle hourly expected. In skirmish we lad captured 610 federal prisoners.
 Our city is full of reports, some of which should be received with great deal of allowance It is reported that the abolitonsts have evacuate ile- lena, first utterly destroying the town l. E cer- tain that they are making a clean sweep ot every house. gin and building on the Mississippi. In the latter part of December a small force ot cavalry came out on VicI1sburg and Shreveport railroad, burnt the town of Mlliken's Bend, destroyed the depot at Talula, burnt the bridge, from thence to Delhi and burned the depot there and some dwell ling houses. This forco did not exceed fifty or sixty, and might have been successfully resis'e d, but were not.
 In Western Ark lnsas matters wesr ! gloomy aspect l. is rumored here that one regiment oi Marmaduke's cavalry had been captured by the enemy The lumber of pns sjners taken is said to be six hundred Another rumor is to the effect that Mum ldu3lc took 6)0 feleras Hind- man was said to be falling back with h;s head quarters at ClarksviIle. There is not subsistence in that portion of the country for the citizens, much less for army. The campaign in Wes tern Arkansas, so far, has been disastrous one.- The battle of Prairie Grove co uld not be followed up and the fruits of the hard won victory have been lost to us Whether these disasters might have been avoided, or to wh)m the blame is to be at tached, VI do no: pretend to say. In due time full enquiry will be made into them. Except the I'll mors lrom she west, our acco unts and dispatches are cheering aud calculated to inspire confidence in the final success of our cause.
 We omitted to notice another rumor that Var Dorn was at Chelcea, which is either part of, or very near to, Memphis. Van Dorn has been as sigaed to a command of cavalry, where he is al home and understands what he is about. Wt sincerely hope that he my succe cd in performing gems e4i liant acts.

- Lieut.. S. M. Palmer, who, with others , were sent home to recruit for the llth Arkansas regiment, writes US communication stating his non success in Saline and the adjoining counties, and giving the reasons therefor. Men, he says, prefer to stay at home and speculate; others are hobbling about with a stick suffering from old wounds received in boyhood from which they felt no inconvenience until now; still others are going about getting up little schools and claiming ex- emption as teachers, while some have had a sudden development of mechanical genius We have not room for the whole of the .caustlc letter oi the lieutenant s~but give the conclusion.
 "And now, MT. Editor, l return to my post, not disprited by my want of success, however mortif ed may be- Five months imprisonment in one of the filthiest northern prisons has imbued my whole being with hatred of the Yankees which will be apeaasea sny in warfare upon them. 20

- One of the northern journals, now on ou' table, in a leading article shows that the Coniedc rates have only 403, ,H00 men.

 - The Camden Herald enquiries why the Camden package Of papers for Camden was not received at the proper time. It was not the fault of the postmaster but our own. Our regular press man was sick the press out of order, and we were day or two behind
 - Tn looking over late northern papers, one is struck with the advertisements for sales of books which are acknowledged to have been stolen from the southern people. Humphrey Marshal's libra- rc was lately sold in Cincinnati There were very valuable libraries in Virginia and Souta Caro ina. all of which have been stolen and carried North. Old and rare books, her-loous, that had haon in the several families for centuries, are sold for mere song.
 - The official report of Haleck, com nlandcr-in-chief of Linc)Ins army is published in the northern papers. Of course it is we'll varnall- ed, but he -has to admit the truth sometimes. Speaking of Pope whippings, he says:
 Most of the troops actually engaged in these battles fought with great bravery, but oi them could not be brought into action at all. Many thousands struggled away from their commands and it is said not few voluntarily surrender ed .o the enemy Us to be parolcd prisoners of war;
 It further appears from the report that the pro gramme of operation n AGkansas was not carried out bv what Halec!, calls, !" the unfortunate with, dfawal to Missouri, by Gen Curtis, of large palt of the army n Arkan'as."

Pichcns, of $. C.. is eloquenty true:
 One great cause of the unanimity and deep en- thusiasin of the whole people in this war for our indepcndcnce arises from the fervor and religious zeal in the cause which our clergy and laity, oi al denominations, have manifested. They have made it almost d holy war. Added to this has been the natriotic and intense feeling our women have uni yersalIy exhibited. NJ men who have such moth CTS, such wiye and such sisters were ever born to he enslayed. We, of ths State, owe debt o lasting gratitude to the women of Virginia, in par ticular. There is scarcely mother, wiie or sister in South Carolina (and there are thousands,1 mourning for he loss of their loved ones that hay perished on the bloody fields of Virginia, who's grievng heart has not received comfort from tn thought that the sinking soldier and hero had hl dying moments soothed by the kind attentions some tender female of Virginia. No people oi an age or country have ever suffered more than ihe have in the noble State of Virginia, and no people with the same amount of population, have ever, the annals of history, presented to the world inor captains of higher qualities to lead and to com mand, or soldiers of more heroic vaior, than hs Virginia and her terrible sufernSs; and hereaitei when asked for her jewels, Virginia will not be con
