NEwBERN, Feb. 24.-Mai. Gen. Peck,
since his return has been busily engag-
ed in making rigid inspection of all
the Notifications of the..department. He
has received reliable intelligence of the
enemy's intention to make another effort
to dispossess us of our position in East
Tennessee, with the assistance of three
rebel iron-clads, plated ten inches thick
which are barely ready to move stimuli
taneously down the NeuSe, Roanoke and
Tar rivers Gen. Peck is taking meas
ures 10 impede the progress of these IRON
cladS which propose moving coniointy
with land forces, on the most important
points on the three rivers, Newborn, Ply
mouth and Washington. It appears to
be the impression both within and out
side our lines that it was to be evacuated
and the battle-ground to be transferred
to North Carolina; hence the desire of
the enemy to make formidable and deS-
perate effort to obtain possession Of this
productive portion of the State, and its
extensive water communications before
re-enforcem can arrive for us.
The recent expedition which left
Plymouth destroyed large amount Of
rebel commissary stores, and struck Sc
revere blow at the enemy in that section
by frustrating their efforts, and has Sc
cured Col Maxwell the thanks of the
Commanding General
Intelligence just received says the enc
my hung 81 soldiers captured by them
in their recent attack on Newborn, al
of whom belonged to the I'd North Caro-
lima Union volunteers, which create
great excitement, and if the news is con
firmed affairs may result in the hangin,
