From North Carolina.

New YORK, Aug. 5.
The steamer Dudley Buck, from Newbern
LIST, has arrived. The expedition sent out by
Gen. Palmer to Chowan River under Lieut.
Weld, had returned with 100 bales of cotton
and large amount of tobacco captured from
the enemy, from which the Treasury Depart
ment will realize over 100000. The expedi-
ton also re-captnred the steamer Arrow and
some prisoners, besides destroying large
amount of rebel commissary stores.
1t appears that the rebel ram Albemarle in
the engagement off Plymouth, would have
raised the white flag had our gunboats given
her commander an opportunity to open her
port holes. as he expected her to go down be-
fore reaching Plymouth.
The rebels have another ram on the Roam
oke River nearly finished. Our gunboats are
of Plymouth awaiting her appearance.
The agent of the Treasury Department has
just cleared schooner containing $40 barrels
of spirits turpentine, 100 barrels tar, several
thousand shingles, and some cotton, valued at
100000, being the first iBstallmeet of the pro-
ducts belonging to the Treasury Department
coming from abandoned plantations.
The rebel ram Atkinson is reported to be on
her way to Newbern, but has not yet been
seen. She will receive a proper reception.
The two rebel rams at Wilmington are
complete failure. The machinery is being re-
moved.

Destruction of The Steamer Macon.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 5.
Gen. Stoneman sent a force OF cavalry, con-
sisting of Longs and Lagrange's brigades,
5000 strong, on the Goth ult, under Gen. Ed.
McCook to destroy the Macon and Weston
railroad. They aucceeded in destroying Is
miles of the road, and started to capture a
rebel train of 500 wagons which were going
from Atlanta to Macon or Columbus.
Gen. McCook captured the train with 500
men, including l27 officers. The wagons
were laden with valuable stores, including
liquors, and the private papers of Hood.
Alter possessing themselves of what they
wanted, our men burned the train.
Gen. McCook started 10 return with his
prisoners and 300 mules, but was overtaken by
the rebels in force under Ransom. This force
was so large as to completely surround our
forces.
desperate engagement ensued in which
many OF our men escaped and found their
way TO Marietta. The number captured is
supposed to be 1000.
This disaster is attributed to partaking too
freely OF liquors found in the captured rebel
train.
The brigade of Long consisted of the Sd
ana 4th Ohio, I'd and 4th regulars. Part of
the brigade nnder Lagrange were composed
OF the troops who were in the late expedition
of Gen. Rosseau.
The rebel Gen. Forrest is reported to be
under Hood at Atlanta.
Two hundred and thirty-seven Confederate
prisoners reached here last night, including
eleven commissioned officers.

THE HORSE RAILRoAD-The track on the
Congress st. branch is now completed to
Market Square, and the cars commenced to
run on it Thursday. Workmen are now en-
gagged in laying down the double track from
Market Square, where the grand junction of
all the lines will be, to the head of High ST.
The present track between these points will
be removed to its new position bodily, with
out interrupting the running of the cars
The Congress ST. line will then be proceeded
with to Vaughan St. with all possible dispatch,
a liberal right of way having been granted
by the city. When that line is finished the
Spring St. branch will be continued up that
street as far as Thomas, or perhaps Bowdoin
st. The whole of this work is expected to
be completed and in running order by the
first of October, and will embrace all that the
company viii probably do this year.
There will be three long lines of horse rail
way in our city, the first running from Bow
doin St. to the G. t. r. station, the second
from the Post Office to Morrilrs Corner,
Westbrook, and the third from Vaughan St. to
Atlantic by Congress ST., thus connecting the
extremes Of the city by cheap and commo-
dious system of travel.

The Rural New Yorker reminds its readers
That 1t is not too late, and will not be while
August lasts-though the earlier the better
10 SOW turnip seed, the round fiat varieties,
which are excellent for animals as well as for
the table, and add greatly to the foraglng re-
sources, and save grain which otherwise would
require to be fed to farm stock. Every spare
nook and corner should be appropriated to this
seed, on the farm and even ia the town and
city garden.
The New Yorker says the varieties which
may safely be sown now, ara the White Flat
Norfolk, the White Stone, the Strspleaved
White-top. Yellow Stone, and Orange Jelly.
or the above the White Stone may be sown
latest probably. We urge this subject upon
the attention of our readers.

Important military movements are being

veloped soon. Gen. Smith is again on the
war path. Unquesiionable information has
been received at headquarters showing that
the rebel Gems. Forrest and Lee were terribly
crippled at Tupelo. Five rebel colonies were
killed, and eight other field officers were badly
wounded. The official report shows that Gen
Smiths loss was about 100 killed and 500
wounded. Had Gen. Smiths supplies OF pro-
visions and ammunitihn been sufficient, he
would have totally routed the rebels and com
pletely broken up their organization.

person who left Charleston, Va, early
yesterday morning reports that rebel force
composed of Mosby's and Imboden cavalry
and mounted infantry 1000 strong, were at
that place and were about TO make feint on
Harper's Ferry, while Early with $4,000
strong was guarding trains OF plumber and
grain at Bunker Hill, and was about starting
up the valley.
Rebel parties are scattered at different
points in the valley gathering mules and col
iectlng grain. They would join Early in his
march.
The rebels have conscripted all the men they
could lay their hands to, even boys of IL, but
many have escaped and are hiding in the
mountains. The belief is that as soon as the
trains are well advanced the entire rebel force
will retire up the valley.

Nothing of interest for the past two days
has trrnspired. Very little picket firing has
occurred. An officer of colored regiment is
reported to have shot one of his men yester-
day at the Commissaiy department. The
officer is under arrest. In the dispatch of the
Slst it was stated that the colored division
engaged in the battle was under command of
Gen White which was mistake. Gen. Fer
rerro being in command of his own division
while he at the same time acted as chief of
staff to Gen. Burnside.
