CAPTURE OF PLYMOUTH
In BY MAJOR GENERAL HOKE.

Cooke, of the Albemarle (then i'm pro-
cess of construction at Edwards Fer
ry, on Roanoke River), under Hoke's
directions. All these preliminaries
having been arranged, he left Rich
mond for his field of operations, and
at Weldon took passage on a train of
box-cars. on arriving at Nahunta
(now Fremont) the train took sid
ing and waited some time to allow a
passenger train to pass. 1t was a
cold night and he and two other
passengers, who were on their way to
Raleigh on business, got out of the
car, made a fire of some lightWood to
add to their comfort An amusing
incident occurred in a conversation
which took place between them. Tt
was learned they were from Plymouth
and quite familiar with the situation
there, and Hoke piled them with ques-
lions and gained all the information
he could about the locality. They
did not know him. He had no insignia
of rank. They told him of the many
troubles of our people who lived in
territory contiguous to that occupied
by the Union troops, and, notably,
that their negroes We're constantly
leaving them to get into the Federal
lines, and many depredations were
committed by the Federal soldiers.
One of the men said he had lost ten
negroes and would give one of them
to anybody who would recover the
other nine for him. And after the
capture of Plymouth people came
into the town to see the successful
General and to find out if they could
not regain the property which had
been taken from them and it so hap
pened that this same man was there
who told Hoke he had ten negroes to
leave him and would give one of them
to any person who would get the 9TH
er nine for him. as he wanted them
upon his farm. He identified his
property, and asked the General to
give him an order to take them home,
but he was informed that there We're
only nine, and reminded of his
promise, made on the night above
stated at Nahunta, to give up one of
them if he could get back the others
-HOke telling him that he came there
to take that town for the express pur-
pose of getting the "nigger" he
promised. The man was surprised to
know, for the first time, that the per-
son met on the above occasion was
General Hoke. After the fun making
was over, he left perfectly satisfied
with the result of his visit, and said
he would vote for General Hoke for
President of the Confederacy.
Plymouth was captured with about
1000 prisoners and a great quantity
of army supplies, among them 500
mules, sent there in advance to sup
ply Burnside's army. But they We're
distributed to the Confederates-m much
of them being sent to Lees army.
Hoke then moved on Washington
and forced its evacuation, and then
on New Bern, and was investing that
town when he received peremptory
orders to take all of his available
troons TO Petersburg. then threatened
by Buffers army. So urgent were

the orders that they were sent by five
or six couriers who delivered them
successfully i'm about six hours. This
method was adopted, so that if one
or more of the messengers were kill
ed the other might succeed in COM
municating with Hoke. New Bern
would certainly have been taken, but
for this order to report elsewhere, for
the Union troops at points on our
coast We're demoralized after learning
of the fall of Plymouth. Hoke re-
ported for duty as ordered with his
division, and the troops were taken
from the train and Immediately went
into a terrific engagement at Drury'S
Bluff in May, 1864, with Buffers
forces who were badly beaten. and
thus the contemplated movements of
the Federal Army were thwarted. Mr..

In 1864 the disaffection in some por-
lions of North Carolina against the
Confederate Government, caused by
disappointed persons, was growing to
such an extent that it was determined
to make an effort to allay it by an
Iattempt to change the military stua-
ton. At that time Federal troops
were occupying Plymouth, New Bern,
and other eastern towns. Grant was
pressing Lee in the Wilderness Cam
paign with his army of about 150, 900;
another column of about 80 900 under
Butler was threatening Petersburg,
and still another under Burnside was
mobilizing at Annapolis of about 30,-
600, and preparing to make Plymouth
it's base of operations for the purpose
70 cutting Lees southern communica-
ton at Weldon. These were mastery
preparations of Grant, and perhaps
would have then resulted disastrously
to the ConfederateS, had it not been
for counter movements under able Of
ficers. President Davis comprehend
ed the situation and was anxious to
do something in order to encourage
the people, and also, at the same time
to check the movements of the three
columns of the Federal army. In or
der to see what was best to be done
fiCer from this State. and accordingly
sent for General Hoke, with whom he
had a long conference in Richmond
The President expressed the opinion
that something should be done to
force the Union troops from Eastern
North Carolina, as being perhaps the
most important step to be taken
Hoke was asked many questions about
the different points occupied by the
Federal troops, and especially about
the feasibility of attacking Plymouth
He replied that he had never been in
that part of the State and knew moth
ing of the position held by the
enemy, but he said that he would
promise the President one thing, and
that was. if he was sent to North
Carolina with troops to attack Ply
mouth or any other point, there
should be fight. The President de-
termined to authorize him to make
the movement and orders were ac-
cordingly issued placing him in charge
of the military operations in North
Carolina In addition to his own
brigade, other brigades, regiments
and artillery from the Army of North
ern Virginia were detailed from vari-
Gus commands in sufficient numbers
to make up a division of about $500
men. An order was also issued by
the Navy Department placing Captain
