From the Richmond Examiner, of the 18th inst. We have tome interesting accounts of the re cent Yankee demonstrations in North Caroliua. The forces of the enemy, numbering about 7,000 men, under the command of Maj. Gen'l Foster, made a raid on Martin county last week. The destruction done by the enemy is said to be fright ful. The county from one end to another is one com plete scene of desolation and ruin. The Yankee army left Washington on Sunday the 2d inst, on its mareu ior uiiamscon, ana arrivea ac ivawi s Mill At Bndown, where it was engaged by the 26th N. C regiment, which boldlv contested its advance, but which was forced to give way on! account of the great inieriority in numbers. The enemy was temporarily delayed at the mill by the burn ing of a bridge, which they repaired during the night, and on Morfday morning came into Wil liamston. It is impossible to give a full descrip tion of the various acta of outrages xommifted by them. ; ' 1 1 ' Not a single house was respectecl it matters not whether the owner was in or absent Doors were broken open and houses entered by the sol diers, who took everything they saw, and what they were unable to carry away, they broke and destroyed. Furniture of every description was committed to the flames, and the citizens who dared to remonstrate with them were threatened, cursed and buffeted about by the Yankee villains. Cattle, hogs and poultry were shot down, and in many instances left untouched. . Our informant saw as many as fifty head of stock of all kinds ly ing dead about the streets. The enemy left town on the evening of the same day on its march up the country. They stopped for the night at F. II. Ward's mill. Mr. Ward 1 was completely stripped of everything they not even leaving him enough for breakfast. While on the sick bed his wife was in his presence searched and robbed of $500. On Tuesday the band of thieves went into Hamilton, where they enacted the same scenes. A citizenr Bennett L. Baker, was without cause shot and instantly kill ed Jay. one of the New York cavalry. They were, as i3 usual with them, accompanied with their boats,! which went up the" Itoanoke river. The army went about fifteen miles above Hamilton, wncn ior some cause it sucweuiy turned ana marcu. ed back, taking, with some slight deviation in quest , of plunder, the same route it had come. The town of Hamilton was set on fire and as many as fifteen houses laid in ashes.- On the next Friday a marauding .party very ; unexpectedly made its appearance in Williamston again. No one had any intelligence of its approach from the fact it arrested and ;kept every citizen it could on its route. During the time the Yankees encamp ed at Williamston everything which they left un harmed when last there was demolished. Every house in town was occupied and defaced. Several fine residences, among which was Judge Biggs', were actually used as horse stables.! Iron safes were broken open, and in the presence of their owners rifled of their contents. Several citizens were seized and robbed of the money on their persons. Our informant states that not less than eight hundred slaves and the same; number of horses have been taken from the county of Martin aloneJ :. J j 1 - On Sunday morning Williamston was fired and no effort made to arrest the flames until several houses werebnrnt It appears, indeed, that every thing that the most savasre nature could suggest was done by the enerav. No attemnt was made by their officers, from Oen. Foster down, to pre vent the destruction of property. . On the con trary, they connived at it, and some of the privates did not hesitate to say that they were instructed to do as they had done.' It appears that Fostar is in every respect the equal of Butler or Pope for inhumanity. He is represented as a "type of the 1 ankee monster. The gentleman who has given us the many items of information noted above, says that two ladies at Williamston went to him to beseech protection from his soldiers, and were rudely and arrogantly ordered from his presence I . : ; i : THE FEVER IN WILMINGTON., From the Wilrainzton Journal 17th inst. Up to Sept. 19th, eight cases had been reported, of which six died. We take this as a starting point Cases. Deaths Up to September 19th, Week ending tiepiember 2Gth, " October 3d, j ' . 10th, I- " 17th, " 24th, " ! " .November 1st, 8 20 2C7 3115 431 194 110 47 21 1505 82 . 40 JO: ill 40 " Bin, 15th, 30 21 441 In regard to the reports prior to those for the week ending Oct. 3d, it is proper to' remark that they can hardly be regarded as even approximat ing accuracy. We feel assured that as soon as the books of the Cemetery Company can be ex amined, it will be found that the mortality of the month ending 19th September, 1862, as shown by tho interments, exceeds that of the corres ponding month of 1861, by from 30 to 50. This however, is only a speculation until we can verify it by an actual examination and comparison, which we will endeavor to: do at the earliest op portunity. For the, week ending Sept. 26th, we think that the figures both for cases and deaths ought to bo doubled, as they in lact giv but the returns for about half the days; on the others we were unable to get any returns. The number of cases with the single exception of that for the week ending Sept. 26th is given from the official reports made to the mayor by the Physicians, visiting and resident. .The statement of deaths is based upon the interments known to have taken place in. the Oemeterv. i It ia Vnr.n that some were Ukea out of town for interment at family burying grounds, and others are said to have been interred in old grave-yards in the neighborhood of town. But we think that 25 would fully cover all the cases of white persons dying and not interred in the Cemetery. Making allowance for this, and for the comparative vague ness of the reports at the outset, it is probable that the number of white persons dying here since the disease commenced .cannot vary much from five hundred,' perhaps not morn than five either way. There were six deaths of Yellow Fever at tho sound, one in Duplin county, one in linton- three in or near Fayetteville, and perhaps one or two at other points. In all these instances, the disease had been contracted in town. At Smithville the' disease took a stronger hold and we regret to learn that the number of dcaths was much greater than we had supposed, some, accounts putting it over 30, while we have information, nearly official in its character, put- ting it at 15 to 18. The deaths out of Wilming ton by the epidemic contracted here or introduc ed from this place will sum up about 30. At first the colored people seemed to escape or to have the disease in a very light form, 'Towards the close, however, they seemed to suffer almost as badly as the whites. The burials in the color ed cemetery during the epidemic reached 111. It is likely that all the deaths ot colored persons may have reached low. . Thus we have the following result: Died in town (white) ' 500 (colored) ISO- out of town (white) 30 680 Deduct for usual mortality from other causes 20 . .654 FROM THE NORTH. Northern papers of the 15th inst. have been received at Kichmond. ; - The vankee armv is said to be on the' move airain Southward. The National Intelligencer, Seward's organ, is out in a long leader which is interpreted in W ash ington by those who watch the current of events, to be paving the way for, a withdrawal of the emancipation proclamation, on the ground that'it is impracticable, &c. Gen. McClellan is besieged with visiters from New York, Philadelphia and other places, all anxious to pay their respects to him, tnougn tie I exr.rej.ses t.hVs desire to remain ouiet.

II is closing sentence was significant, 'as follows: "While the army is fighting, you,"as citizens, see that the war is prosecuted lor the preservation of the Union and the Constitution, for your nation ality and your rights. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes of "threatened foreign diffi culties: ! "The official announcement made some days ago by the State Department, that there is no rea son to apprehend serious embarrassments with Franco on account of Gen. Butler's operations in Louisiana, is now proved to have this foundation and no more: The French Government has de manded full and immediate indemnity for all in- uries inflicted upon Irench citizens by Gen. 13ut er, the immense armament now nearly ready at Marseilles being pointed to as the commentary on the diplomatic request. Our State Depart ment, therefore, in announcing that there will be no difficulties leading to a rupture of relations, merely informs the r rench linistcr, in advance, that it is ready to back down to any extent irom - !- "The Spanish Minister has addressed to our Government a demand for an apology for the burning of a vessel in Spanish waters by one of the shiDS of Admiral rarrajrut s fleet, lhis act: it is complained, was made more heinous by in- 6UIIS UJ VUUSU luauuttw iuucnaw.- against this wrong done in a neutral port. The Spanish squadron now cruising in me uruu migni undaubtcdlv cive trouble to the large fleet of our tranarwrt. vpsspla which will soon, from all indica- tions, be obliged to navigate that region. r ' The Baltimore Gazette says the "condition ot our foreign relations, notwithstanding the modi fying assurances lately given by the Associated Press correspondent Irom ashmgton to the con trary, are very distinctly assu-mtd to be threafm- inq, especially icith Trance ani Spain. Lord Lyons recently had au interview with ward. The yankee correspondents, in epeak- Se ing of the interview, say "that nothing whatever of an official character has. been received from England, or any other European Power, indicat ing an intention to interfere with our political af fairs in connection with a recogmtioq of South erp independence." vf he Times city article says that Lord Lyons took out full assurance that while England will be eager in concert wvith other nations to adopt any step to promote a permanent return of peace, she will, meanwhile, individually refuse to depart one hair's breadth from the course ofnon-interference. Not Killed. We have received a letter from Kenansville, Duplin county, requesting us to cor rect ! tho report of the death of Capt. Wm. J. Houston, of Kenansville. Mrs. Houston has re ceived a letter from a member of his company, stating that Capt. Houston's horse was shot from under him and he captured by; the 'enemy, with three of his company, lhis casualty occurred on the pth of this month. It will be a matter of pleasure to Capt. Houston's friends to learn that he yet lives, though a mortification to hear of his captivity. !Ft7. Journal. j The Fever.

XuTliSDA EYEXIXG, X0YEMBER 20, IS52. Thb Wae Dbpaktment. Hon. Geo. W. Randolph of Virginia has resigned hiB seat in the Cabinet as Sec'y of War. I ! - ' We learn from the Richmond papers that the reeign- tioa took every one by surprise. The Examiner sys that it is attributed by Mr. Randolph'i friends to" disagreement with the President on the subject of the powers and dignity of the office held by Mr. Randolph; the President desiring Mr. R. to act only under his di- reel ion, and having recently reject ed some of bis -p- pointments of a minor and unimportant character." The event has produced considerable excitement in Richmond, where Mr. Randolph was regarded as an excellent officer. A Monstrous Outragr. Supposing the subjoined statement of General Wise to be true yet we must hope that he has been misinformed the officer who made the unfeeling answer about our gallant troops, "Let then juVr,""shuId not be pitched into the James river, indeed, for we are o advocate of Lych law, bat he ought to be dismissed instantly from ihe office which he difgraces. ' But we will hope that there is some mistake, for it seems incredible that any sane man in the Con federacy, much less the efficer whose duty it is to see that the soldiers are clothed, ctfuld have made such an answer: j I To the Editor of the Enquirer: j ; BaiOADE U8ADQUABTEB8, 1 Chaffin's Farm, Nov. 15, 1862.

' Your obedient servaut, j Hekbt A. Wise, Brig.

Newberii is too strongly fortified to be successfully assailed by any force at our command. The yankees have thrown up strong breastworks in the rear of the town, extending the entire distance from the Neuse to the Trent. On this many heavy guns are mounted, and every tree has been cut down aud every hill leveled in front of the works. Besides which they have light bat teries in ihe town and gunboats commanding the open space in front of the works from both rivers. Tarboeocqh The North Eastern part of North Ca roling is a sort jOf terra incognita to people in the South ern part of the State. It is not surprising, therefore, that a Fayeitoviile officer in the 60th tteg't should Lave been pleasantly impressed with his first visit to Tarbo- rough, especially when he marched throughJt from an out-of-dours camp. letter thus describes it: Tarboroucch in a beautiful place.

The Standard of Tuesday- last publishes the proceedings of this Co. in reducing prices, with emphatic approval. A merchant in the up-country, writing to pay his sub scription, adds as follows: 'I see in the Observer of the 10th inst., the resolu tions of the Rockfish Manufacturing company, which I think should cheer the heart of every volunteer from this part of North Carolina. I will receive the goods as described and let the wives and children of those that are defending our rights have them at the proposition or less if j l tiiink proper, but never, over their mark; and that no speculator shall have any for any price that they tuny offer, bufcin every case will be satisfied be- Jond a reasonable doubt, that the noble act of this oem- pany shall be fully carried out. I know a number of our people are suffering badly tor cloth and yarns at this time, and if our men culd know that their families would be well clothed and fed with, the poor pittance that their health and lives are exposed for, I have no hesitation n saying that if possible they would be doubly diligent in every thing that is due to the Senlhern Con federacy.1 The suffering poor will feel under many ob ligations to know that they can find the goods within ther reach." r - .

In this attack we kill ed eleven of the enemy, and wounded many more. Our forces then fell back, having accomplished their mission. i ' On Thursday the Yankees made their acbear- ance at Blackwater Bridge, between Franklin qd Ivor, and attacked our pickets.

We have heard of no casualties on our side. Express. -. j Reappearance of the Enemy at Frcderickstura. Richmond, Nov.. 18. On Sunday it w3 as certained at Fredericksburg, that a strong force of the enemy, from Warrenton, was approaching the town, by a road crossing a ford some 4 or 5 miles above. Col. Critcher immediately posted his little command at that point, and about 8 o clock, a regiment ot yankee cavalry made their appearance.! A brisk engagement ensued, and the enemy was finally driven back, with a loss of several killed and 12 prisoners. wn ounciay night Col. Critcher withdrew his force to the town, where he could work more ad vantageously in conjunction with Col. Ball, the i . i military commandant. On yesterday morning the enemy, evidently in increased force, crossed at or near the above ford, and appeared with several batteries of heavy artillery above the town.l An artillery, engagement ensued; and, during ita pr0- gress, oraera were given to destroy au tbe cotton I apa touacco in toe town. . : The order was promptly executed, and several! pyramids of cotton bales were1 soon sending up' their smoky incense to the god ot war, and about 1000 boxes of tobacco, belonging principally to speculators, were ruthlessly tumbled into the Rap pahannock! In the course of an hour or two the enemy were repulsed from their new locality oi t i . I assault, and iol lowed up by our cavalry and lost some 10 ot 15 more prisoners, i During the progress of the engagement, which occurred just outside ot the corporation, the peo ple became resolute in the determination to stand Dy the town, ana even tne women, in many in stances, appeared in; the streets, on horseback and r . 1 ! 1 J J :.t. on loot, armea witu revolvers ana inspirea witu all the enthusiasm of war. In the afternoon,! the enemy again made their appearance, but this time on the northern side of the. river, and in still greater force, farther on, and with guns superior to our own in range. The engagement continued during the evening. Uur loss up to' 6ix o'clock, was 1 killed and 2 or 3 slightly wounded. : A portion of the enemy was reported already in Falmouth, on the. opposite side of the river, and their whole force, supposed to be advancing, was said to be 12,000 no doubt an exaggeration, f rom .one to tnrce regiments of the enemy had, at our last advices, been ac tively engaged. Enquirer, From Northern Virginia. Richmond, Nov. 8. Advices from Gordonsville state that Gen eral Stuart is daily skirmishing with the enemy long the line of the Rappahannock. JNo general engagement, however, is likely to occur at an early day. Dispatch. j Webpiso Hbroks. The army correspondent of the New York Herald writes to that paper from Warrenton, ,Va., as follows: . I The removal of McClellan was entirely unexpected by everybody here. Tears coursed down McClellan's classic features, and Burnside, with his stout, heavy frame, wef t like a sorrowing child. There they sat and wept. Burnside was at first disposed to decline as- uming the command." j If this ridiculous story is true, McClellan and Burn- side must have been drunk. No sober men would have made such asses of themselves. " ' j The Supply of Xitre.
