A detachment of the LIST Alabamba regi-

direction of fernando, surrounded a house
where party was being given to some rebel
officers and soldiers, home guards on furlough,
and captured twelve prisoners and fifteen
horses, and brought them into Memphis.
The trains on the Memphis & Charleston
Railroad are running only to Colliersville,
thus closing one avenue through which a
large amount of cotton reached Memphis

From North Carolina.

NEwBERN, N. C., Feb. {.
The enemy are again threatening our COM
munication at various points. They made
another demonstration this morning at New
port Barracks, which point they will evident
ly attack 10 hold.
The erroneous report that we were being
strongly reinforced here for the purpose of as
sisting the rebellious movement at Raleigh
has brought large force of the enemy into
this State, for the double purpose of checking
the convention movement and repossessino
themselves of what territory they have lost i
possible.
The rebel iron-clad at Kinston, some thirty
five miles above Newbern, is considered very
formidable affair by those who have seen it.
1t is reported that she is about ready to act
in concert with the rebel force which threat
ems Newbern. The presence OF strong feet
of gunboats in these waters is an imperative
necessity.
The Washington Journal says that DOW.
erful effort will be made to drive the enemy
from Eastern North Carolina, and should our
rebel army fail in this effort, the State will be
lost to the Confederacy.
The opposition papers are still outspoken in
their sentiment
