Col A*aiUt-'$ BtttaUon.—We were present
■’n yesterday afternoon at the Review of th«*
Tro tps at ('amp [lolmes, by Lt. Qen. Holmrs,
reparatory to their going iorirard to the front
ru meet the enemy. VVe have ssarcely ever seen
so fine a body of meo, taking them altogether,
tnd their trofioiency io drill coonot be ezoelled;
rc fleeting great credit upon their Commander and
■•thers who have bee*i over them.
The review 1 eing over, the whole line was
drawn op in olof^e order and wa^ addressed by
Gen ‘Ilolmes. He tuld them that he eame to an-
noooce to them that they wore needed in tbe field,
•od must prepare to go at once. That he had
juat returned from Richmond where he had en
dearored to makearrani^ements for theic to go io
a bodV, under the lead of their beloved Com
mander, Col. Mailctt, under whom they had long
.«erved; but that such ao arrangement was not
oumpatible with the regulations of the service—
new organizod troops not being admissible.
They must, therefore, select the Companies to
(Chich they wished to be attached and go to join
them in meeting the enemy, who were about
reaiy for the onslaught.
Q!*h. ilolmes complimented the Battalion as
being the best drilled one he had seen any where
ard especially oomplimeuted them for the exalt
ed reputation they bore for correct discipline asd
^igh moral virtue.
It was a highlj iatoresting oecasioof and when
fhe troops returned to their quirters, they made
the echoes ring with buzzibs at the prospcot of
meeting the enemy. CjI. Mallett seemed much
'movt‘4 at this parting review of his troops whose
wcllaro'he has been ever assiduous to promote;
iffliile the men seemed to hav» bat one regret
and that was the parting with their loved com
enemy’s iufantry and artillery all crossed at the i '^“V'TT—*: ^

From Pli^nioufh —It is said that the waters
of Albemarle i^uund are in oor quiet possestiion
Tbe fisheries are being worked with great results
by the people. The amount of prtivisiona secur
ed by the fall oi Plyncouth ia j»aid to be far
kfreater than any one had (supposed, and the
•'ountry open to U4 will furnish enough to feed a
iarge army for many moutha to come.

After the fall of Plymouth a great number of

stolen from them by the yankres. Benides a large
