The Richmond Despatch of the 9th
instant is received. IL contains the fol-
lowing particulars IN regard to the siege
of Little Washington, North Carolina -
I'VE have news from Little Washing
ton as late as Sunday.
Our troops have captured the federal
batteries at Hills Point, situated on the
bank OF the Tar river, : miles below the
town. The position gives an open held
and fair fight with the Yankee shipping,
Two Federal gunboats, followed by sew
eral large transports loaded with troops
from Newbern to reinforce Little Wash
iugton, attempted to run our blockade at
Hills Point on FRIDAY, when they were
fred upon by our batteries and so badly
damaged as to be forced to put back
They could not pass our guns, and at last
accounts the Federals were landing troops
below our works at HIPS Point.
On the attempt to go by our batteries
the steamer Louisiana was sunk by our
guns.
There were about two thousand negroes
in Little Washington which the Federals
tried to get of, but failed in the attempt.
The Federals have refused to surrender
or allow the women aud children to leave
the place. 1t is presumed therefore that
Gen. Hill will shell it.
The Richmond Examiner says:
In the course of the month Of June the
campaign and the war will eliminate. L
we come out of that month defeated the
North will have to resort to terrible meas
ures to preserve itself. If we come out
victorious then the war will be substari

San Francisco, AprI D,
Gen. Wright has issued proclamation
which concludes as follows:
Although the great mass of people On
the Pacific coast are eminently patriotic,
and devoted to the Union, yet, fellow-cltl-
zens, we must not disguise the fact that
we have traitors in our midst, who are do
ing all in their power to involve this coun-
try IN the horrors of civil war. To such
persons say, pause and reflect well
before plunging into the yawning abyss OF
treason. An indignant people will rise II
their majesty, and swift retributive justice
will be their certain doom.
