THE FALL OF PLYMOUTH.


THE FALL OF PIX MOUTH.
On the evening of the 28th ult., Gen.
Baker commanding this Department, re-
ceived information BY telegraph, that the
enemy had succeeded II surprising and
destroying the guaboat Albemarle near
her wharf al Plymouth. Gen. Baker ae-
eompar,ied by his personal staff, immedi-
atsly left Goldsboro for Plymouth, at
which place be arrived on the afternoon
of the 3Oth in the midst of fierce bonn
bardment of the town from the fleet OF gun
boats which had stationed themselves In
the middle of the river out OF sight OF our
batteries. The sudden appearance OF Gen.
Baker among the troops was hailed by the
whole garrison with shouts of welcome
Each man felt treasured by the voluntary
presence of this veteran soldier, land sprung
with alacrity to their duty. From their
conceament the ene,ay kept mp contln-

vent this by throwing cut sharpshoot-
ers, but owing 20 the exceedingly heavy
fire of.the gunboats and the accuracy of
their fire these were driven back and the
enemy finding no opposition they ascend
ed the Roanoke and came down upon the
town. The first OF upper fort was manned
by the crew Of the Albe,narle. This the
snnboat sailed past, though several times
struck by the shots from its guns, the dam
age not appearing to be material. The
fleet then paid their special respects to
Fort Jones, where they succeeded in dis
mounting all the guns and exploding the
magazine. Meantime the enemy threw
an occasional spiteful shell or hot shot
over into the town, which caused several
of the buildings to fire. At this iuncture,
in the midst Of the conhaeration Of the
town the necessary evacuation of the sew
ersl forts, and the landing OF the enemy,
Gen. Baker issued his orders to blow up
the magazine and withdraw the garrison.

out to the picket line, and ever beyond,

BGrI the emancipation proclamation
is valid, it cannot be revoked; if it is
not valid, it is null and void and need
not be retracted. This Mr.. Lincoln &C
knowledged in substance to the Spring
field Meeting Was he sincere in it? If
so, why does he now require an oath to
support that proclamation before man
can vote or hold office in a seceedad
State2 If the proclamation be valid
there is no need of swearing about it; if
it is not, the oath will not make it so-
Louisville Democrat
That is logic with vengeancel How
does the taking of an oath to support the
proclamation effect its validity. What
would be thought of an U. S. Senator,
when called on to take the oath to sup
port the Constitution of the United
States, should he gravely object, in the
language of the Democrat" If the Con-
stitution be valid there is no need of
swearing about it; if it is not, the oath
will not make it so" People would
conclude the " fool-killer had never Wis
tied his neighborhood.
Our impression is, that taking an oath
to support the Proclamation has nothing
whatever to do with the validity of that
document; but does very materially eff
feet the civil and political standing of
the individual taking it. Taking the
oath is the only condition upon which
the President will grant pardon to those
guilty of treason, and liable under the
United States laws to the death penalty.

Not Much for "Little Mack. +"

A bold soldier boy connected with the
Sth Indiana Battery, and long a resi-
dent of our city, writes us concerning
one Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan. He says
he noticed ina late issue of the Louis
vile Journal that the said George is
spoken of as candidate for President
of the United States. He can't think,
however, that the mass of the American
people have any idea of doing SO foolish
thing as to elect him, when they have
so many better men to select from. Abra-
ham Lincoln, he adds, is the soldiers
ideal of faithful and honest President,
and in the Army of the Cumberland a
contest between him and Little Mack
would result good deal as did the run
between Btough and Vallandigham-
Old Abe would get all the votes. The
soldiers are well satisfied with his man
agement of public affairs under the try
ing circumstances in which he has been
placed, and highly approve his manly
stand in the cause of freedom and eman-
cipation. The soldiers volunteered for
the purpose of compelling the Southern
rebels to acknowledge Abraham Lincoln
-constitutionally elected as their
President, and they feel they will not
have fully accomplished the object in
view when they enlisted, unless Mr. Lin
coin IS elected for another term. The
people at home entertain similar opin-
ION, and between them and the soldiers,
there is little doubt but that Mr.. Lincoln
will receive the electoral vote of nearly
every loyal State for second term.
We will add, in this connection. that
there appears to be "screw loose"
somewhere in the Mcclellan machinery
He is ostensibly brought forward as the
"war horse of Antietam;" ''the soldiers
FRIEND" the greatest General of the
age ct cetera, ad intfnitum; and the
other day we were informed with gray
ity that added flavor TO the joke, that the
18th Indiana, in departing from our
city, gave three cheers for Mcclellan,
and that all the soldier boys were for
Little Mac" Now, what looks queer
to US is, that the warmest friends, great
est admirers, and most enthusiastic sup
porters of Mcclellan for President, are
those who most dislike the soldiers, and
labor the hardest to prevent them en-
Joying the right of suffrage. This want
OF harmony between profession and prac-
tice, on the part of the partisans of Nc
Clellan, is so cleverly portrayed by Oc-
casional, the Washington correspondent
