Eadtnrm XoHiu Oabouk'a.—The public has been
aQXlOU^«ly expectinp news of further operations by
Gen. Ifoke; but nothing is known of any movement
since the capture of Plymouth. A letter from Kins
ton to the 8tate Journal states that terrific cannon*
adin^ was heard in the direction of Washington from
Hunrise until 3 P. M. on Thursday. Another paper
has it Wednesday. Nothing further has been heard.
We copy from the Raleigli Confederate this m«jm-
ing the most full and interesting Account yet publish
ed of the battles at Plymoiith.
Thk Capti’rk of PLTMorra.—This achievement
was one of the most daring and gallant of the war,
and it will be so set down in history. Strong fortifi
cations, 80 strong that the Northern papers said
when they heard of the first day’s fight that Gen
Wessel bad pronounced them impregnable, defended
by a force ol^three thou.sand men and two gunboats,
were boldly attacked by a force not double their
own, we suppose, who marched steadily through op«n
fields, leaped the ditches and scaled the walls of the
forts.
New York papers of the 22d had accounts of the
beginning of the fight, telegraphed from Norfolk.
They did not entertain the slightest apprehension
of the capture of the place, for not only did their
General pronounce it impregnable, bufr they claimed
to have three times repulsed our troops, “with fear
ful slaughter," in three impetuous assaults upon the
forts. They were not taken by surprise, Gen. Wes-
sel having been informed of the probable attack for
some days, and, with Gen. Peck, the commander of
the Department, having taken measures to resist it.
They had five gunboats there, carrying 27 guns. All
the citiiens of Plymouth had been aei^t oS, most of
them to Roanoke Island.
Their confidence being so strong, great must hare
been their mortification at the capture of their forta,
the sinking of their gunboats, and the loas of some
3000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners. Nothing
but tbe most unflinching courage of onr troops and
aowavering«'mfidence iu their General, could have
secured such a victory.
Rktaliation.—Among the Northern complaints
of what they l all the butchery of their troops by
Forrest at Fort Pillow, we find the most unblushing
pretenfTs of “forbearance and magnanimity” on the
part of the yankees iu conducting the war. The
Washington City Chronicle says: .
"We have carried on the war, hitherto, in a spirit
of forbeariince and magnanimity, as no war for tbe
•uppresBion of a revolt was carried on before. We
have «hed no blood wantonly. We have treated
prisoners taken with kindness and amply provided
for their wants. We have in the main avoided
narshness and oppression towards the inhabitunts of
tbe districts we nave overrun, though they swarmed
with spies and huishwhackera.**
It would not be easy to find a batch of more false
. laims than these. The South knows, and the yan-
kees know, and the world knows, that it is all false,
altogether false. The forbearance has been on our
side, aa the two invasions of the yankee territory
abondantly show, the invaded themaelves being the
witnesses.
But if it were true that Forrest had spared none
of th« garrison when he captured Fort Pillow—as it
.1 not true, for.two or three hundred of them have
arrived at Demopolis as prisoners—if it were true,
w* say, Lincoln’s threat to execute Confederate
prisoners in retaliation would still be unjustifiable,
for it if a well settled principle of war, that if a for
tified place refuses to surrender when it is morally
impossible for it to escape capture, the storming for-
■ es are justified in putting the garrison to the sword,
»ad this because they have chosen, whilst unexposed
themaelves, to slaughter as many of the assaulting for-
ua possible; and when they have accomplished all
the mischief in their power, it is not allowed them to
'laim exemption from like evil. The principle is a
humane one, pre.'Crvative of life. If followed, it
would have induced the 800 yankee garrison of Fort
Pillow to surrender when required to the overwhelm
ing force of Forrest, which it was plain was strong
enough to capture the fort, and then no life would
have been lost. But instead of that, they killed onr
exposed men, being protected from danger them-
Beives, and as soon as that game was stopped, they
inrew down their arms lyid expected mercy where
they had shown none. The case was different at
Plymouth. The probabilities there, at first, were
that the forts were strong enough to repulse our
army, and they were right to make the effort.* But
when all the forts but one had been captured and
the gunboats sunk, Gen. Hoke’s demand of a surren
der of the last remaining fort ought to have been
complied with, for it was manifest that it would be
captured like the rest. Gen. Wessel, however, re
fused to surrender, ou the ground that h'®
tion would suffer at the North unless he defended
the fort* 1 f, under such circumstances, this last fort
had been taken by storm, the garrison would not
have been entitled to quarter, though the humanity
of onr officers and men might have granted it. When
our forces advanced to the charge, Gen-Wessel ap
pears to have reconsidered his determination and
raised the white flag of s’lrrendfr.
Th» SriRIT OF THB SOUTHERN YoCTHS.—HoW
caany thousands of Southern youths have distin-
gaished themselves during this time of their coun
try’s peril by noble deeds of selt-iairifice. No eountry
had ever a more brilliant record than they have made
for the Confederacy.
We have just been informed of an •ct of pure
jatriotism hy a young gentleman many of whose
!0Dnections reside here—Mr. J. Burgwyn McRae,
wn of the Rev. Cameron F. McRa*. He left Col
ege whilst exempt from military duty, to join Starr’i
Sattery as a private. In this company his shoes
■»ore out, and none could be purchased at the place
4iere be was stationed, so that the last sijow found
hm literally barefoot. At this time he was offered
a clerkship in a Quartermaster’s office. If he had
(ffisulted ease, and comfort, and fVeedom from ex-
peure and danger, he wpuld have accepted this
pkce. But no. He thought that “able bodied men
•buld remain in the ranks, and leave positions, in
tb Qoartermnster and CommisBary Departments to
liabled soldiers. ’ And so he declined the offer,
•d remains in the humble but honorable position of
a>rivate. The possessor of so noble a spirit can
«brd to wait. His time for distinction will surely
.cae. •
x>m«d.nicatioh8.—An unusual press of advertise-
a«ts obligee us to defer several oat of a large
Miber of commanicBtione on band^
T*b Two Dboxioi.—Sbakeapeare't ‘‘domedy of
Errors" is founded opon the resemblance between a
pair of twin brothers, who were constantly mistaken
for each other, and constantly beaten each for tlTe
«hortcomiugs of the other. We have two Dromios
here in North Oarolina, flatting their hour upon tbe
political stage. Their rcsemblanco is not, we under-
physical, like Shakespeare’s Dromios—oufa of
them we are not aware of having ever seen— but
moral and intellectual and pecuniary. One of our
Dromios is the Editor of the Standard, now candi-
dat« for Governor, the other the Editor of the Pro
gross, a candidate for Castle Thunder, if we may rely
upon sundry mysterious hints iu the Daily Confed
erate. These worthies aro so. much alike that in
spite of all their protestations they are generally ac
counted as identical—the Progress, which protests
that it speaks for itself and belongs to itself, is every^
day charged by its Raleigh contemporary with
speaking for and belonging to the Editor of the
Stai^dard; and the latter is therefore belabored from
day to day for the sins of the former, or at least for
those whose paternity the former claims. It is a
peculiarity of these Dromios,—an improvement upon
Shakespeare’s conception,—that whilst i'ke each
other, they are from day to day unlike themselves.
He of the Standard, for instance, ma.ked it a point
to be by turns upon every side of every public
question and for and against every public man.
His desire to do right [i. e. to do the best he can
for himselfj is so strong tliat he is determined to
be right at some time or other, and so he takes both
sides, and thus like a watch that don’t mn is sure to
be right once a day, only the owner don’t exactly
know what moment of the day that is.
Apparently admiring this characteristic of the
Standard Dromio, his twin of the Progress iniprofts
upon it by being not only upon both sides of the
same question ou several days but even on the same
day. Any reader of that paper must have marked
how one of its leading Editorials begins upon one
side and winds up upon the other.
We have been led to these reflections by an ar
ticle in the Confederate, quoting from the Progress
first its praise of Gov. Vance’s Wilkesboro’ speech
and then its denunciation of the same speech. We
saw them at the time, but did not consider them of
sufficient importance to copy. On the day the
Progress printed that speech, it expressed digsatis-
faction with the Governor’s views. On the next day,
upon a careful reading and mafure reflection, it was
greatly pleased with them. Still later, it finds out
that they are without merit and utterly objectionable.
W« have not at hand a copy of tbe first condem
natory article of the Progress, though we remember
it very distinctly. Of the second, approbatory, thtf
Confederate says:
•‘On the 2d of March, its leader was from the text
—“The Address of Gov. Vancd.” It said of that
address;—
"Got. Vance takes the only ground that he can
take in fiavor of a vigorous and unremitting p'-ofle'U-
tion of the war—but we are glad to see at tlu: sanie
time, that he puts himself on record a« favoring ne
gotiations for wftce.”
♦ * » ‘-Taken all in all, the addrest of Gov.

THE OAPTUBE OF PLYMOLn'H.
From the Baleigh Confederate of April 30th.
Cakp Bansom’s Bbioaos, [
Nbar Plymouth, April 22,1864. j
Messrs. Editors:—Pl3rmouth is ours. WarrenNeck
has fiallen. The enemy’s gunboats are driven out of
the Roanoke. His land forces are prisoners in our
hands, to the number of about 2500. Not one has
eecapcd, except a few negroes, buffaloes and desert
ers, who are scattered in the swamps, and whom our
cavalry are hourly shooting or bringing into town.
# # » ffijg forces marched from Tarbord’ on
the I5th, having been quietly and rapidly ^ollected
at that place during the night of the I4th. Ou Sun
day the 17th, at 4 P. M., we were within 2 miles of
Plymouth, having marched through swamps and a-
cross swollen creeks a distance of 75 miles without
the knowledge of the enemy. His picket on the
Washington road was taken—our infantry thrown in
to line and the batteries into position. Kemper’s
brigade, with a battery of 12 pounder Napoleons and
three 20 pounder Parrotts, wius detached to attack
W’^arren Neck, a strong position ou the river a mile
above the town, which the enemy thought and we
feared, would effectually stop the passage of the Albe
marle. and so deprive us T>f her valuable aid, and by
leaving the gunboats in the river near the town, seri
ously increase the difficulty of taking it.
The march had been long and rapid, and the men
were much fatigued, but eager to advance at once,
and entering the place with the pickets^ take it bj’ a
coup de matii, and render effective the surprise,
whioh was evident we had accomplished. Such, I
am told, was Gen. Ransom’s desire, but Gen. Hoke
decided to proceed more deliberately.
Plymouth, as is known to all your readers, is situ
ated on the south bank of the Roauoke, which here
flows in an easterly direction. The town is approach-
ed by four roads, the Washington on the west, the
Lolunibia on the east, along tne river, and between
these two the Bath and Lee’s Mill roads. The de-
fauMo ^ wr •••n lumfwiuf^ wuntn;
On the west of the Washington road about 800 yds.
from the town, a strong earth work, Fort Wessell,
surrounded by a deep moat and mounting three guns,
one 32-pounde;- and two C pounders. On the east of
the Columbia roa*l, a work with a moat in front and
stockadej in the rear, mounting two 32-pounders and
two 12-pounders. On the west of the same road, a
well-constructed work with a moat in front, but open
in the rear, mounting three giiiis. In the rear of this
aud within the town was another work, partly earth
neatly turfed, and partly stockade, facing to the
.south-east and open towards the river, mounting two
guns, the stockades being pierced for musketry. The
Lee’s Mill, Bath and Washington ift>ads were cover
ed by a line of heavy entrenchments mounting nine
guns and terminating at the latter road in a strong
fort surrounded by a very wide aud deep moat, and
mounting six heavy guns. Tbia was Fort Williams,
as strong to resist bombardmeut or assault as the
skill of engineering could make it. On the river face
of the town was a camp entrenched to resist any at
tack from the water, and a little lower down an earth
work for the same purpose. The force in the town
and at Warren Neck consisted of the 16th Connec
ticut, b5th N. Y., lOlst and 103d Penn., two compa
nies of Massachusetts heavy artillery, one battery of
light artillery and two squadrons of cavalry, the
whole commanded by Brig. Gen. Wessell, of the old
U. S. anuy.
^On the night of the 17th, an attack was made upon
j Warren Neck under the direction of Col. Deering;
j aiid a gun boat of the enemy, conring to the assist-
j ance of the jfarrison, was sunk, aud a ioree of infan-
t try sent froiu the town was repcised; but the enemy
s'lc.-esst’ully resisted all attempts to tak»this strong-
j hold. On Monday our artillery opened vigorously
' upon tbe t(..\vn; and durintf tf.o day both parties pound-
i ed away at each other ince(i«ani"ly: bat beyond a lit
tle skinitifhing with the enemy, aod manceaven’ng f(>r

now iu the t«)wn, and tbe ln-Md of every
street running east and west wa> held by one or more of
our rejpuients; but fheir position in line was somewhat
changed. The 24th was still on lb» Columbia r(md,flow
8tr*«t, with the Cfith and ?oth to the right and the 85th
and Sth t» the left. Halting a luonienc to breathe the
men and dress the linen, we jiushed slowly and carefully
torwartl. |.aring tl»e enemy from e\cry street, yard and
hocse, irciin the windows of which aud' from behind the
feniijS thf-y pourod an incessant lir('. litit nothing could
check our progress, and in an hour Ihe enemy were all
driven mto Fort William or the entrenched cauiji. The
fort was on our left and the camp in front. Leaving the
8Mh, the 8tli and a }K>rtion of the 24th to contend with
the fort, the rest pushed on for the camp, which the 24th,
being on the direct roal, soon n!«ched, and oj»ened fire,
‘■*1’^*’®” ’’till to a severe musketry fire ■from the fort on
the nank and the camp in front. In a few minutes the
66th came up on the right by another street, and by their
arrival decided t.he contest, ft>r iinniediatelv ctn the ap
pearance (rf thi.s additional force, the enemy tlyew down
his arms, and rained the white flag. Capt! liockhart of
the 6t>th ran in to receive the surrender; and instantly
both regiment.^pour(*d into the camp, and throwing down
their own foul guns and empty cartridge boxes took the
clt*an, Well filled ones which were lyiny about, and
prefiseil on through the tents to the western side of the
camp, where they could see the U. S. flag floating over
l^ort illiam, evidence that the fighting was not yet«lone

The toitn was oyrs. Every ht-use and street in it was
was swept of the enemy, who, shnt up in his stronghold,
still refustnl to surrender. This was a irase for the artil
lerist, and the uuuri of the captured fi>rts were scK.m turned

better for us than they had against n.s. C'apt. C!ook too,
of tlie Albemarle, dropja-d some of his yO-pound shell
among tiiein. Still thej’ resisted stoutly, showing a dis
position to die rather than yield. At las^ however some
of our boys creeping forward through the entrenf hments,
got an entilaling tire u)K>n them, which soon brought
them to terms; and huulreds of them rushed out of the
fort without arms and surrendered. Just at this time a
shell burst directly on the magazine, aud when the smoke
cleared away, the hated flag was fluttering rapidlj' d6wn
to the ground. W ithuut waiting for orders, the brigade
swarmed into the fort, Co. B, of the ‘i4th leading,'and
the color of every thing was quickl}’ changed from blue
to grey.
Thus endtnl the greatest battle ever fought in North
^arolina, and if properly follo>v;ed up, the most important.
Let the sons and tlaughters of the old North State rejoice,
for the day of her redemptiou is at hand.

The Yankci Niwbr*n Pavkr.—A friend has
shown us a copy of the Newbern Times, of April 2d.
The leading editorial article is in abuse of Gov.
Vance, and in the course of it, referring to Gov.
Vance’s remark that if North Carolina were to se
cede from the Confederacy in order to get out of the
war, it would be “jumping out of the fryuig pan into
the fire," the Times says she would in such an event
find herself both “in the pan-and in the fire.” That
is, that the United States would not tolerate neu
trality any more than the Confederacy conld tolerate
it, interposed as North Carolina would be between
the two ends of the Confederacy. Any man of a par
ticle of sense must know that a new secession, by
North Carolina “taking her own afiairs into her own
hands” would be no relief from war, but the addition
of a new war ta th^ present one.
CoMMANDBR Jamkr W. Cooke.—The Wilmington
Journal says that this officer, who, with the rain Al
bemarle, made such short work with the yankee gun
boats at Plymouth, is a native of North Carolina,
entered the U. S. nary in 1828, married and settled
in Virginia, resigned his commission ou the secession
of Virginia, offered hia services to Virginia, was ap
pointed in her navy, and «ub.sequently in the navies
of North Carolina aud of the Confederacy; acted with
great gallantrv in tKo ‘ ^—v
in l662; snperintended the construction of the Albe
marle, and was placed in command of her. We agree
with the Journal that be has earned promotion, which
he will doubtless receive.
ApvaRTiaiwo yoa Wrvas, Husbands, 4c.—We
have very reluctantly inserted some notices of this
kind, supposing them to be no more than silly at
tempts at wit. But having reason to suppose that
malevolent purpose was intended in at least one
case, we now give notice that nothing of the sort will
hereafter be published in the Observer at any price.

“Oar farmers are much beset about planting their
crop of corn in consequence of the cold and wet
weather. Oar wheat crops have much improved in
appearance in the fast few weeks. 1 think it not
impossible that we might yet reap a good harvest.”
BivrvAL IN TH* 18th N. C. Tboops.—A letter
from a member of thia regiment says;—
“There is quite a revival in progress in this regi
ment under the supervision of Mr. Bellinger, a Pres
byterian Minister and refugee from Kentucky, but
now residing near our camp. He has preached for
ns all winter. There is no excitement, but more inte
rest manifested among the oflBcers I’uan I have ever
seen. Several of them and a number of the men

iLto the plai-e. Meunwhile Pegram’s battery dashed
forward at a run, supported by the infantry, und un-
liaiberinir delivered a furious fire upon the devoted
pla»;e. 'I’hree times we advanced, each time nearer,
untd within good charging distance; but the artillery
bad it all to themselves- The movement was mere
ly a deiiion3t’‘ation to call off the enemy’s attention
from Hoke’s attack upon Fort Wessell,* which after
a short but sharp resistance, fell bkfore the superior
powers of Hoke’s brigade; and that night's work was
done. Leaving a line of pickets on the field, the
main body of the troops withdrew to prepare, by a
few hours’ rest, for the attack which we all felt
w^ould bo made on the morrow; and as we lay down
by our fires, every on3 wondered at the Albemarle’s
delay, and prayed for her speedy arrival. At 3 in the
morning we were all awakened by the thunder of
her Blakely guns as she defiantly saluted Warren
Neck, e.n pasmnt, and sailed safely by oyer the ob
structions which the enemy had placed in the river.
She went to work at once amone the enemy’s gun
boats, sinking one and driving the rest to Hatteras,
und then turning her attention to the fortifications
kept up a steady fire during the morning, silencing
the enemy’s guns and driving him into his bomb-
Eroofs. But still the “stars and stripes” floated over
is works; and as he refused when summoned to
.strike his colors, it became necessary for us to do it
ourselves; and the evening and night of the 19th
were devoted to preparing for the assault on the
morning of the 20th. Kemper’s brigade had fought
gallantly at Warren Neck. Hoke’s men had taken
Fort Wessell with three guns aud 60 prisoners. It
was now Ransom’s turn.
The Columbia road, which enters the town at its
eastern extremity, running parallel with the river
and near it, crosses Conabay creek about a mile
from town. To this point Rangom’s brigade, the
8th N. C. and Pegram’s battery marched late in the
evening of the 19th, behind a screen of woods, which
hid the movement from the pnemy, and reached the
creek about sunset. The bridge was destroyed and
the creek too deep to be forded, a strong picket of
the enemy on the opposite bank l>ehind entrench-
spot. The pontoons must be laid for the iufantry
aud artilleiy to cross, and that ijuickly, or the mov©.
ment would be a failure. 'I’he moon was shining
brightly, turning night almost into day, and not a
breath of air was stirring, so that every movement
we made could be distinctly seen eft heard by the
enemy. Lieut. Marshall l^ee, with 20 men of Co.
E, 24th, was advanced to the water’s edge, support
ed by the rest of the company, and Co. A, of the
35th, the whole under the command of Capt. Barna
Lane. The pontoon train, under Lt. Pool, 10th N.
C. T., dashed down at a gallop, slid one boat into
the creek and rapidly the two companies crossed
and were immediately engaged with th‘ enemy. The
24th followed at once, the men coifling into fine as
fast as they got over, and the enemy fell back close
ly pursued by Capt. Lane’s command, deployed as
skirmishers,. The pontoons were now laid and by
8 o’clock the infantry was over and formed iu line
of battle, the left resting on the road and the right
on the river in the following order; first ou the right
the 56th, second the 25th, third the 8th, fourth the
35th, fifth the 24*h, with two companies on the south
of the road. In thisposition we lay during the night,
sheltering ourselves as well as we c'ould from the
enemy’s two works on the road; which kept up a con
stant fire until nearly day-break. Just before day
a strong line of skirmishers was thrown out before
the brigade under command of Capt. Durham, Q. M.
29th N. C. T., but^cting temporarily on Gen. Ran
som’s staff.
Unfler thi.ii gallant young officer these brave men per
formed prodigies of valor, contributing largely to the
auccesfl of the day, and Jompelling the admiration of the
enemy, whose commanding General remarked after the
battle was over, that he hatl never seen such skirmish
ing; that though he three times reinforced his own skir
mishers. he could not check ours. At 3^ in the morning
of tfie i*th our line began to move forward, slowly at
tirst, dressing on the centre, and halting occasionally for
that purpose. From the start the tire from the enemy's
batteries was rapid and severe, strikiag down many a
brave ft-llow, but closing up the gafls, the long line moved
silently on, tfie left still resting uu the road, till Pwram’s
battery dashing forward at a run unlimbered iil|^>ut,
Iand opened fi»e on the enemy’s works. Then for th** first
time ^at uiomiug our bt)yu ^re a loud yell of defiance.

Forrest’s Plunder.—The Mobile Advertiser »ayS
that one of Forrest’s men represents the spoils of
the expedition as immense. At the diflerent points
successfully attacked, vast stores were found, and
horses and mules in large numbers. Every vehicle,
of whatever description, was harnessed and loaded
aud only such plunder destroyed as it was impossi
ble to bring away. Of jeans alone, at Paducah,
they took as much as to load completely a long
train of army wagons- There must, he saj’st have
been enough to clothe all of Gen. Johnston’s army.
A nother Handsome Affair.—A letter from Wood-

capturing 1 captain and 15 privates, and a number
of horses. The captured Captaiu’s horse fell dead
under him in the streets of Winchester, having been
run to death. No one was hurt on our side.”
Captured Stores Coming.—The army stores and
supplies that changed hands with the capture of
Plymouth, are now, on their way to Richmond, to be
forwarded to Gen. Lee’s army. The stores are esti
mated in value at several millions of dollars.
