following concerning the sinking of the
Albemarle and the capture of Plymouth.
A dispatch says, the capture of Plymouth, d,
North Carolina, by the enemy, is explained
by later accounts. A lack of sufficient
watchfulness ON the part Of our troops
seems to have been the prime cause Of the
town. 1t seems that Thursday night, Is
men, belonging to the blockading feet in
Albemarle Sound, or 10 miles from Ply
mouth, took; small torpedo boat and
steered for Plymouth. On the way, they
found a small boat, containing six of our
men in the river, stationed there as
picket guard, but all of them being asleep,
they were taken pris oners. Then, proceed
ing to Plymouth, they found the Afbemarle
at her wharf, and running the torpedo boat
under her amidships, blew her up, causing
the damage from which she soon sunk.
Infantry was stationed on the wharf who
fired on the assaulting party, and after the
Albemarle sunk, captured the whole of
them. No one was killed and only one
wounded. There was no force of the ene-
my near Plymouth, with. the exception of
5 or 6 gunboats in the Sound, but the loss
of the Albemarle opened the Roanoke to
them, and hence the fall of the town. Capt.
Roberts, 1T is stated, commanded the Albe-
marie. 1t is understood that there were
no lives lost On the Albemarle, as there
were very few men on board at the time of
the explosion of the torpedo.
..I.r New York, 4.
From the Herald's correspondent, it ap-
pears that Sherman has sent the 4th corps
to Decatur, to operate against Hood, while
with the remaining 5 corps of his army, he
has moved to Atlanta, and is in all proba-
bility about to inaugurate an offensive
campaign, thus ignoring for a time the ex-
istence of Hood, or leaving him to prose-
cute his campaign in Tennessee at his
leisure. |. IL

morals in Chicago.

Chicago, like most other Atlantic cities,
has been overrun with prostitutes and their
supporters, since the second year of the
war. A Chicago paper says:
Great excitement was produced last
week among the immense number of un-
fortunate women in Chicago, by the appear
ance Of an 's order from the Police Com
missioners, against disorderly and disre-
putabls houses and their female inmates.
They were requests TO close their houses
within AZ hours, under certain penalties
that appear to have been miseonstrued by
the class against which il was directed.-
The widest coasternation at once set in
among them, and q great number hastily
left the city by train and steamboat. Be-
wildered and confounded by the mysterious
skirmishing of the police in the neighbor-
hood of their houses, others gave way to
terror and sought relief in death.
A young woman eighteen years of age,
named Anna Wallace, native of Bridge
port Conn.,, who had arrived in the city four
months ago, evidently in great distress,
and entered a life of shame, in which she
succeeded in coneealing her real name un-
til her death, took poison on Friday even
ing, and died within a few hours. another
woman, whose real name was Maggie Glynn
took laudnum and died. .as
On Sunday, sig women took hack,
drove some distance outside of the town,
when they discharged the driver and
drownded themselves in the lake. The po-
lice have aseertained that number have
left the city. Sixty are known to have gone
to st. Louis; thirty to Cincinnati; twenty
eight to Pittsburgh, and it is to be hoped
that others found refuge in their homes to
lead in future better life. -sl.t.--l "a,
A family in this city lost daughter of
seventeen years of age about two months
ago. They could obtain no clue TO her
The other night hearse
was driven to their door, o coffin was taken
out and placed in the hall, with the simple
Sc There is your daughter Ac-
the remains was the keeper of
q house of ill-fame.
These proceedings have caused immense
excitement in Chicago, and double patrols
have been placed in a number of streets.
1t is regarded as singular that, as yet, the
police made no descent upon the male'ras-
,ality of Chicago. -

IT is remarkable fact that persons losing
themselves in the forest, or in snow storm
manifest invariably tendency 70 .urn
round towards the left, to the exteAt even
OF eventually moving in a circle. The ex-
planation of this is found probably a the
fact that the limbs and muscles Of the righs
side are generally better develcped tasa
those of the left side. Shoemakezs say,
that as a general thing, the rignt foot 10
somewhat larger than the left, an4 that the
right boot wears out first. Under the e1-
element felt when one is lost, and IN the
absence of any guiding line, the Superior
energy of the right limbs throws the Pc
destrian insensibiy round to the left. Il
may also be remarked that in the ancient re-
ligieus ceremonies of every country, circular
or choric dances were prevalent clstom.

Of the obstacles likely to be laid in the
way of peace by tho theoretical position
which the President had assumed Oh these
and other subjects that the Ncw-York
TiJuac was induced TO oppose his rcnoms
inalion, it held the following language:
"NYc cannot but feel that it would have
boon wiser and safer to spike the most SER
yicablc guns of our advcrsarios BY nomi.
natipg another for President, and thus
dispcIIiug all motive, save that of naked
di,loyaity, for further warfare upon this
administration. We believe tho rebellion
would have lost something of its cohesion
and venom from the hour in which it was
known that new President would surely
be inauguratcd on the fourth of March
next and that hostility in the loyal states
TO the national cause must have scnsibly
a5atcd or been deprived of its readiost
most dangerous weapons, from the moment
that all were brought to realize that the
President, having no more to expect or
hope, could hcncctorth be impeled by no
conceivable motive bat desire to serve
and savc'hs country, and thus win for
himself an cnyable enduring fame"
1t was singular coincidence that the
friendly editor, who held this frank Ian
guagc after the Presidents 5 denomination, g,
should have been called to act so promi-
nent part in the negotiations which have
just given the whole country abundant
reason to concur with him in his opinion.
The President somnly declared in the
year 1861, in his message to the Congress
of the United States, that "loyal citizens
everywhere had the right to claim that
the government should be preserved that
it might be administered for all as it was
administered by the mcA who made it,
As loyal citizens we enter our "claim' in
these words. And the President said at
the same time, that "thc goyernuuout had
no right to withhold or neglect" this claim
Then we ask that he shall not withhold
or neglect what ho has authori zcd the
nation to demand.

Tho old doctrine Of state rights. This ad.
