Yesterday, as we have been informed, Sc.

with forty Confederate soldiers, at that point,
resulting in the capture OF four and the killing
OF two or three OF the traitors, who have sent to
Trap Hill for reinforcements. Colonel Sharp,
OF the 10Th North Carolina militia, having been
called on 10 sustain the Confederate authorities
is sending forward the militia to the support of
Lieutenant Roberts, who expected pitched

We hope the authorities will send forward
promptly large force, at least sufficient to ex
terminate the whole band OF tories. Let de-
