(^o.,j and Captain liarland—'the latter from S. ^
The expodition moved from Wilmington on
the 28th ult., and made an average march ol 20
miles a d*j over.heavy sandy roads at this end of
the line,■‘and deep muddy ones at tl\e other. No
remarkable incident occurred until our forces ep-
SInched the enemy’s lines, when Gen’I Martin
ispM^d hia forces as follows; An advanced jruard
oonaiating of »U the cavalry, three companies ot
infantry, and one of arTillery, was thrown forward
to “feel" the enemy—the cavalry being under
the immediate command of Lieut. Col. Jeffords,
5th S. C. cavalry, and the whole under command
of Col. Geo. (Jackson. The rest of the infantry and
artillery followdd under the immediate supervision
ot the Commanding General. On nearing the
first pickifts of the enemy and discovering - them
on the alert, the cavalry dashed furiou.‘;ly f^jrward,
and the yankee pickets (25 or 30 in nuduber) re
treated as last as their horses woald carry tbt-m.
The road over which pursuers and pursued had
to pass was through a swamp, and full of deep
holes overflowing with mud and water. But on
tlwy sped —some of thq yankee hoises and their
nders turning summersets in the mud, and ours
running over them, and tumbling headlong in the
deep mire after them( inflicting many bruises
upon men and horses'(breaking the neck'of one
ot the latter) but doing no serioua damage to the
nders.^ It was at this point that Lieut Mu^e, ot
Harris cavalry, while gallantly leadiqg the charge,
fell ^rtally wounded by a pistol shot from a yan-
kee who was being hotly pursaed. Having cap
tured a portion and dispersed the rest of these out-
poat pickets, the column moved forward and soon
came to a trading post of the yankees—but the
enemy had fled in the direction of a block-house
some half mile distant^pickcts and reserves.
Ine march w^ continued and preparations made
to stOTOi the work, bu^ a close examination dis
closed the fact that the position had been evacu-
ated by the enemy in such hot haste that they
l^t their provisions, books, letters, &c., behind
them. ContinuiDg the march fftr two and a half
imles further, a second block-house was discover
ed and oar forces were brought to a stand by a
shot fr6m a six pounder whijh went whizzing
over their heads No one knew the strength ot
the place—how much infantry or artillery consti
tuted the garrison. It was easijy discovered that
It was a well built, thick walled house, surround
ed by a oircumvallation of earth-woTkg.
After a shell or two from t!apt. Ellis’ Battery,
it was at once determined by the commanding
General to attack the place with infantry.
Capt Big^, Co. A, 17th Regiment, was direct
ed to throw his men forward as skirmishers, and
fwl the strength of the enemy. With the alac
nty of volunteers and the steadiness of rec^ulars
they ac^yanced across the*open field, in the faci
of the discharges from the six-jounder and small
arms. When within about 200 yards of tUo
block bouses, Capt. B ordered his men to charge
the works. They responded with a veil which
«ng out amid the volleys of musket/y. It was
the work of bm a moment. The Yankees broke
»n4.taa fur their lives. A beautiful six-poundor
cannon, a number of rifles, knapsacks, clothing
oommis^ry stores, &c , Vere cai.tured here, bl

Kin!^ton', Feb. 7.
On tbe luorning of Suudaj, 3I.t January, our
boats were launched in Nbi!3c River,* and in an
hour”? time we were pulling down trtwardn the ap
pointed rendezvous some 10 uiilcs above New-
bern. One by ooO t^e bGat^ cainc in, and at mid
day we only awaited the arrival of our command
er, Capt. Wood. About 2 o’clock his boat roujided
ttie point, and he stepped a.>horc into the brig.ind-
ish looking bivouac we hud established .With
out delay the arms ami ammunition w^e dio-
tributod, the boats made ready, everything put
ship-shape for the night, and between 2. am* 3
o’clock we hauled out into the stream.
The boa^s were arranged iu two divisions, the
first under command of C apt. Wood, the stvond
under Lieut. B. P Loyall, -lud the two forming
pirallcl to each other, we pulleif rapidly down
the stream-. Silently the two blaek lir.es of buat'
fil^d down the stream with mutUcd dais, isium^
no sound but the steady dip as tUey fell into the
wave. Jubl belore dark tlio boa:s wcie bdiiled
along side each other to receive instructions, and
, this done, Capt Wood offered up fervent prater?
for 6ucce^s,•xsking God to judge between us and
our enemies, and once more we were Avinding
down the Neuse. The night wa.s very dar and
it was with great diflieuity the way could bo
traci d, the only b’earings t.ting tiken fr. >m tht-
taint light of the sky^ecn through tlu; iiec-tops
above, .ibout 3 o’clock wo came into the opWi
country above Nevtboro, where the river widened
and ihe shores trew low and marshy. The night
was foggy and thickj some rain fc4i-
'•’o get a fair understanding' of the plan ot at
tack, 1 may say briefly that it was intended Gon.
Pickett should open upon the yankee linen early
i!l tbe morning to divert thcif attention and
drive them back into_the town. He had wuh
him two brigades only—Clingman’b and Hoke’s,
while Gen. Bartoh had been sent up the Trgnt to
tall upon the town simultaneously with those in
front. In addition to this, Col. Dearing, with a
small force of infantry, a battalion of cavalry, jnd
two pieces of artillery, had been gent across the
Ncuse to t .reaten l’'ort Anderson, and prevent
reinforcements from W’^aJihiugton. This was' the
pos-itlon ot aSair? at an early hour this morning.
. It was hard on to tour before we came oppi>-
sitp the town, and so dark and foggy wo co rld t-ee
but a short distance beyf^id oar bows. The da^/
lulbre It had been ascertained th« yankee gun
boats were in the Neuse, but upon reacUiir^ tfec
position formerly occupied, they were no where
to be seen. For an hour we cruised around
from point to point trying in vain to make thoir
I lights, and at last, daylight beinir close at hand,
we were forced to ixive up the .search and return
up the river. There were no gunboats in tke
Neu'e.
Meantime Gen. Pickett had opeped tire upon
the, vartkee line^, and while we were pulliug
ajiaiu up thi. stscam wa lu'ard his guns b'»omi>»g
throueh the mist, varied at timei with tbe r»Tvl«
ot musketry.

the boats aud the ship inado ready for firing.
J^ut for them the shore shots would have beeu
returned, for Jiieut.'IIoge had opened the maga
zines, j»nd had stationed the men- at the guns.
As the steam was down it was found that it would
be impossible to take time to get it up under tl^e
heavy fire of batteries not 100 yards awaj; and so,
the wouuded aud prisoners being put into tbe
boats, ttie vessel was fired. In five minutes after
our boats had icft the side the Underwriter was
one mas.-^ of fiame, burning up >tfie dead bo
dies of the Yankees killed in action; also, three
or four (^ead negroes in the coal Bunkers.
Wiirin^ this lour days after ^e fight, worn
down wfth tbe fatigue of arduous duty and of
sleepless nights, 1 am entirely unable to 4o jus
tice to this naval battle. Of course, in tbe dark-
nesi- of the night, there were many things which
did not meet my eye—many acts of daring, and
many dw ds of heroism. All fought well. From
Commander Wood down to the youngest inid-
-hipmau, not one laltered The £teamer was
boarded veryhandsomely. The «nemy had suffi-
cieat noticc to arm themselves, an^ the boaiders
iiad to figh* their way upon tbe decks. Wori»t of
ail were the laud batteries which turned their
guns upon us. In t^c whole history of naval
warfare, cutting a steamer from under land bat-
ceri«is has been con:^ider/;d the most daring and
hazardous a«.hjcvemeot that could be accomplish
ed. Tlie danger and riak is st) great that such
attempts have been few. Tbe ieat of Lord Dun-
donald cutting out the ship ut Callao was con
sidered^ b*y all oddsj the greatest act attached to
his splendid uaval reputation, and thd>readers of
•Marryatt will remember well his ideas upon the
subject. The “Underwfitcr*'^ lay under three
very large forts, close beside a town filled with
troops, and lied head aud stern to tbe shore.
Seeing the vessel well on tire, we turned once
more up - tha Neuse, and pulled away from the
to^n. A heavy storm came up, the rain poured
down in torrents, wetting us to the skin, and halt
filling the boats with water. As we rounded a
point of woods we took a last look at tbe burn
ing ffibip, now completely enveloped in flame, the
lurid light flaming in the sky and flashing for
miles across the water. AUhoiigh bidden from
our view, we could see by sudden flashes up tbe
sky, anck by the dull, heavy, booming tiound
which came to us upon the night air that the
shell room wa.'^ reached and that the explosion
had begun Turning into tlie creek, w«f landed
ou the shore to care for the wounded. • In the
eveniug they were sent up to Swilt Creek Villiige,
and from thence to Kinston. T«fo days after tbe
wtiole party arrived, except, ala»! the four poor
tellows left behind.
'To close, I will say the “Underwriter” was
large eide wheel steamer, formerly a JSew York
occan tug boat, but was commissioDed in Septem
ber, IbCi. Sbe fired the first gun at Koanoke
Island; had engines at ^UU horse power, tb« lar^ett

Johnson's a iiiir, op^ fight against the large odds
mentioned. A lettrt from North Alabama, say^s
the-victories were beyond the most sanguine ex-

Our loss was 13 killed aod 30 wounded, against

The people are represented as being in fine

2Sth i\T. C. Troops.—This was Gen. Lane’s old
regiment. Col. Speer, now commanding it, writes
ou the 5th inst., that it ^‘re-enlisted almost to a
man to-day, for the war. It was the first Volun
teer liegiinent that rc-organized for three years
or tbe war, and is now the first Regiment to re-
enlist foj the war in this Brigade. It-is the lar
gest Regiment in the army ot .Northern Virginia,
and has been in all the battles and skirmishes
that the Light Division have beea in.’^
Oen. Hood.—Gen. Hood has been promoted to
a Lieutenant Geceralcy, and will take oo'mmand
in about two weeks. The corps to whiob-he has
been assigned is understood to be that formerly
■nder Gon. D. H. Bill, is the aimj of
Johnston.
Q^en. Bragg has left MoatgoiMry, A.labMfta)
and is on his waj to Hiahmond, Tia JhiiR»ia.
Yet, nevw ia this toileime march, nor*in the weary 1 level ground. By this route they got into Canal
street, and keeping close to the eaves ot the build
ing they succeeded in eluding the vigilance of
the sentinels. The prisoners are confined in the
second .»itory of the Libby prisoYi, and the first and
ba.sement stories had to be attained before the
mouth of the tunnel could be reached. By some
means the prinoaers would cut through both these
floors when t)iey wished to gain the cellar, and
after they had passed down would clo?e np the
holies with the planks which had beea taken
out so nPatly that it could not be discovered.
The ocllar covers the whole area of the building
and is only hsed as a place fpr storing away meal,
&c, for the use of the prison. It being very
large only the front part w;>.‘‘ required, and there
fore the back part of it, which is coniiderabW
below Ca»y sireet, is scarcely aver visited. Tne
dirt whieh aecumulaU*d as tbe work progreased
was spread about this part of the basfcment and
then covered over with a large quantity of straw
which has been deposited tlierein. It is not
known how long the operatives in thi.s sttrpend-
ous undertaking have b*en engaged; but, when
the limited facilities which they possessed is ta
ken into consideration; there cau be no doubt
that months'have elapsed since the work was first
begun. The whole thing'wan ekiltully managed
aud bears the impress of master minds and in
domitable perseverance.
No' doubt *,{hat further escape through this
avenue was contemplated, and the 'earnestness
with wliich the pri.-^oners who reu'ained behind
tried to throw the blame ujJon the guard was only
done to prevent further inquiry into the matterj
and thereby leave the tunnel open for others to
pass through. Probably one more night Tiight
iiavo emptied the prison of the whole ‘Bumber
confined therein.
Yesterday workmen were engaged in etoppin?
up the passage, and it may now be safely relied
on that no other prisoners will ever take their de
parture from the Libby against the knowledge
and consent oF the officers in charge.
Four of the prisoners who .succeeded iu getting
out were, lare in the afternoon, recaptured and
brought back. They had gotten about 22 miles
from the city before they were .overtaken. It is
hardly probable, from the-steps which have been
taken to prevent it, that many of them will suc
ceed in reaching the yankee lines.—DUpatch.

Ihe True-Reaion.—Tho Standard and its. as

that it is not any misrcpr^entations by their en-
eaiieB that have ^Impressed the Northern press
and Mr. Everett, and yankees generally, with the
idea of their Union tendencies—and that their
Conventiotv means Recession. Bolow they will
find an extract from the New York Herald' of a
late date, oonfirmiug this admonition: •
'‘We are also inclined to'believe that this news
is tone, for\he significant eztraots which gave
onr readers yesterdtiy from the Raleigh Standard,
broadly hinted at an impending State Convention
which would-be ouarged v^ith the business of se-
oeding from secession.”
It is, as we have said, from the “significant ex
tracts” from the Raleigh Stapdard, given by way
of encQuragement to the Herald’s readers, wherein
is ‘‘broadly hinted at at> impending State Convene

The Alabama.—This vessel is making a sen

her. Nov. 16th she captured the Amanda and
cargo of 315 tons sugar and 4000 bal«s heinp.
Next day she topk the Winged Racer and sugar
cargo. Both vessels were burned. They ate
valued at §4441,000. Tho London Post says:—
“The great topic Of the Kast India press by
this mail, is, ot course, the Alabama, her late
manoDUvres and probable future tactics occupying
much of their space. The American flag, how-,
e^er, is l^ast uisapipearing, ^hips taking shelter
undet that of Peru, Prussia and Portugal. Risk's
in American bottoms arc point blank refused by
Eastern insurance ofliees, an^ by this mail only
one ship is reported loading under the American
flag. Meanwhile the causc of all this consterna
tion is quietly cruising in the Straits of Sunda,
patiently waiting for coming prizes.”
Important Decision Expected.—An impor

upon a writ of habeast cor^ius contesting the Oon-
