Afternoon Report.
Rebel Account Of the Sinking of the
AlhamaPla.

GA499AAAeAA4g'
NRW YORK, Nov. 7.-RiehmOnd papers
of the 4th inst, have the following con-
earning the sinking Of the Albemarle aud
the capture of Plymouth. The DisPG tel
says the capture Of Plmouth, N. O., by the
enemy Is explained by later accounts. A
lack of sufficient Watchfllness on the part
Of our troops, seems to have been the
prime cause Of the loss of the town. Il
seems that on Thursday night q party Of
eighteen men belonging to the blockading
feet, in the Albemarle Sound, some eight
or ten miles from Plymouth, took small
torpedo boat and started for Plymouth
On the way they found . small boat con.
tanning six of our men in the river, sta.
toned there as picket guard, but all of
them being asleep they were taken prison.
ers. Then proceeding to Plymouth, they
found the Albemarle at her wharf, and
running the torpedo under her aInidships
they blew her mp, causing damage from
which ghe sunk. Infantry was stationed
on the wharf, who fred on the assaulting
party, and after the AlbemRFle had sunk,
captured the whole Of them. One man
was killed aud only one wounded. There
was no force of the enemy near Plymouth
with the exception Of Eve or six gunboats
in the Sound, but the loss of the Albemarle
opened up the Roanoke to them, and
hence the fall Of the town. Capt. Rob-
erts, it is stated, commanded the Abe
marie. It is understood there were no
lives lost on the Albemarle, and there
were very few on board at the time of the
explosion of the torpedo.

HEADQUARTERS AMY OF IHE P0IoiltC
Nov. 6.-TheFe was quite q lively time
between the piekets on the left Of the line
Friday night, resulting In the loss Of few
men on each side. Yesterday good deal
Of artillery firing took place near the Joru-
salem plank road, but without loss to rs.
Last night the Pickets In the same vicinity
opened FIRE shortly after dark aud kept Il
up sharply all night. At about IL A. n.
the rebels attempted to advance their pick
ct line here to recover some ground which
our men took last week, but our soldiers
being wide awake made stern objection
and for an hour or two they exchanged
compliments in the shape ofbullets. This
is the old contested ground, near what was
called Fort He'll, where firing has been
almost incessant and extremely hot for
three months, for which reason the place
was thus designated.
A citizen Of Richmond arrived within
our lines yesterday morning, having left
that city four days ago. He was in the
liquor business, but fearing that the au-
thOrities would soon seize and put him in
the army he concluded to take an uncere.
mOni0us departure. he tells the old
stories of want and destitution In Rich.
mond, Of garroters operating nightly in
the streets, the high prices of the neeessa-
ries Of life, SC. He also says the rebels in
front of Petersburg are busy mining under
our works, but at what points could not
be asoertained, as q guRrdis kept in the
vicinity and no one allowed near the place
except those engaged In work. Very little
faith Is placed IN his statements.
ALI is quiet throughout the line.

n6pBR1H0ING HoMH THE Co1oRs.-Lt.
Col. W. G. Starr. of the 9th West Virginia
Infantry, arrived in the city yesterday
bringing the old colors of the gallant 9th
and 9th Regiments, which were yester-
day conveyed to the stste House where
they will be sacredly preserved. The
9th and 9th regiments have been con-
solidated and the new veteran regiment
thus formed will De commanded by Col.
Duval. The old colors of the two regi.
ments have been carried now for more than
three years through many hard fought
battle, and on many victorious field.
They are tattered and torn with bullets and
shells, stained with blood, and faded by in
clement weather, but the boys love them
with depth of affection that does them
honor. They parted with the old battle
flags with tears in their eyes bidding Col.
Starr to guard them as he would his life.
Some correspondence has taken place in
regard to the return of the colors which
will be published hereafter.

We have seen no better evidence of the
enterprise of Wheeling steamboatmen than
ia afforded by the new steamer Saint Johus,

one of the best, if not the very best business
boats ever built in this city. The new Saint

She has 10 inch OFFENDERS, feet stroke,
and thre 40 inch boilers, 2e feet long, four
aues in each. She has full length cabin
and is capable Of accommodating IS pas
sengers aud will carry 800 tons of freight.
Her hull was built by Sherman & Co.. her
machinery by Hobbs Il Taylor, her cebin
by Hanes & Beam and her furniture, which
is of the finest finish, is of New York man
ufacture. The painting was done by W.
R. Boggs.
The Saint Johns has all the modern i'm
provements and no expense or pains have
been spared many part of her outfit tomake
her in all respects first class packet. She
will be commanded by Capt. Sam Mason,
a popular veteran steamboatman of whom
it is unnecessary to speak, and Mr.. VIM. N.

" from Fayette and Christian counties.
1t was supposed, as 1t has turned out, that
they were members of the o. A. K. society,
and that there is conspiracy in progress
for raising an insurrection on election day
and release the prisonersin Camp Douglas.
Early this morning large number Of ar
rests were made and in nearly all cases
arms were found in their possession.
Among those arrested are Col. Marina
duke, brother of the rebel general, who was
the guest of DR.. G. Edwards, and Beecher

Court Of this county. He harbored lot
of bushwhaekers and procured changes OF

Treasurer o. A. K. Chas. Walsh, door
keeper of the House Of Representatives,

found several men who had been engaged
casting bullets for the Use Of the conspira.
tors. Some of those arrested are reported
to have made confession that their inten-
ton was to Ere the city tonight and re-
lease the prisoners in Camp Douglas. A
large quantity of arms and ammunition
Was found in Walsh's house.
