Skilled Labor In the [VorA shops.

There being some msapprehension on the subject,
we take pleasure in calling attention to the fact that
the recent General Orders to strengthen our armies in
the fd do net contemplate the Withdrawal of skilled
or trained mechanical labor from tie Government work
shops.
On the contrary, the policy Of the Government is TO-
attract to the Conederacy and to retain this valuable
element in nations prosperity. While it is necessary
that every able-bodd man should be sent to the 'front.'
is equally necessary that skilled labor should be re-
tained 10 the service OF the Government.
We are led to these remarks from prevailing mis-
apprehension the subject, and upon information that
steps in progress 10 withdraw permanently from
military seryicI those now in the trenches
The z1al and excellent conduct OF our mechanics iu
rushing to the front in the hour Of danger worthy Of
all praise but that has passed. and it is evident 10
all linking that the best interests of our cause
require their permanent services in the arsenas and
workshops of the Con.ederacy.

Sinking Of the Al5. marIss

few days since q report reached here that the Ro-
snoke iron-clsd boat tie Albemare, which played
quite an important part in the capture of Plymouth,
had sunk at her station 10 the river. Although we had
this report however, it came in such questionable
shape that We felt unwilling to use it without more
definite Information The Godsboro State Journal Of
Tuesdsy morning contains statement OF the sfaiY.
from which we learn that about o'clock on Friday
morning, the weather being very dark and stormy,
eleven icers of the Yankee Navy in torpedo boat,
run against the Abemare then lying at her wharf at
Plymouth ths second attempt was successful-the
torpedo exploded against the Albemares bow, stavDg
It in and causing the ship 60 down in few minutes
as far as the depth or shaoEness of the water would
permit.
The Yankees on their way up the river had captured
@ Confederate picket board the Yankee steamer
Soutbfed partially sunk by the Albemare during TIE
attack on Plymouth some months sgo. The Yankee
party was also captured.
More serious than even this is the fall Of Plymouth
Itself, which will be found in our telegraphc column.
1t is not impossible that some of the feet of which
good deal has been said likely to come here have gone
up the Eas Sounds Of the State with the view o
reestablshng Yankee superiority in Abemarle, Pam.
hco and Roanoke Sounds. Their large double. .endert
could not come through the Albemare and chesapeake
Navigation from Norfolk, more on account of the
length than their depth. They would have to go in
Hstteras Inlet.
Plymouth is $50 miles northeast of Raleigh art
probably had twelve to fifteen hundred inhabitants

Gosr Up.-Our readers will be sorry to gee the
news from Plymouth, N. O., received Tuesday BY
telegraph We are in hopes that our people lost few
prisouers and little material.
We looked for the fall of Plymouth after the Yankees
bad succeeded in blowing up the Albemare. Our force
there doubt small on land and perfectly
insignificant water. Somehow, we doubt whether
the people of that section State have felt any
fdence in our ability to hold Plymouth and the lower
Roanoke country and hence their indsposton to take
sny active part in favour of the Confederate cause
We may expect at any day to hear of an attack be-
Ing made upon the town of Washington, Beaufort co

pretty much ruined already, and can't be much more

there be any necessity for for the purpose of
driving out contagiou.
SoXB doubts Rave been expressed in regard to the
day which the Presidential election will be held at
the North, but for this reason. That cleo
tion will be held, not on the first Tuesday in Noyem-
Der, but the first Tuesday after the first Monday
which will bring it On the 6ih instant. We don't
think it make much difference at any rate ss Mr.
LINCOLN will be apt to make of his own election
and even if General MCCLELLAN should happen to he

make things any better worse for the Coufederacy
