OF PLYMOUTH. Newspapers and *lett«rB have furnished ua with few particulars of the late onfortanate operations in Kastern North Carolina. We make up tbe follow ing statemeDt of facts gathered from a brave soldier wh» was with our troops. Od Friday moruiog, ‘iSth Oct., a torpedo boat (a very small steaiaar about twenty feet long! came up tbe llo- auiike river, passing the pickets on tl>« river; it was so dark that you could not see your band before you and raiuing heavily. Ttie Albemarle was lying at her wharf at Piymouth, with a sort of t ailing of logs iu tlie water as » i^unrd to prevent anything frt>iu running against her. The torpeilo boat lay quiet some dieliiuce otr from the Al*)»u»arle fm about an hour, and then moved up to the Albemarle, felt the guards around her, and then l>!t, ked olf a hundred yards aud came up with full heriii of steam. The torpedo was fixed upon a booui twenty I'eet long, extending Irom the siue of tiie bow, which could be raised by a block and laeklt, it wad rained to pass over thf railing as the l>uai eaiue up, uml lowered •SO a» to strike the Albemarle under the forward j>art of the boat. It was discovered as it, came up by the guard on iho Albemarle, aud was tired upou by the crew wi'.h mu.sketry. It was ti„> Ute when it was discovered to lire upou it with the heavy guns ou tne bout. Tlio tor pedo struck and exploded, blowir^ a hoie in tho Albe marle aad crtuaiug her to sink parliall> iu i» short time The Ciipiain of the torpedo boat jumped ovet board uad o-capeO by swimming across the liver. the bo.it and or»w w^re captured with tho exceptiou of a ^mall boal witii a few uj«n which had been sett ba. k down the river aud captured iujd earned oil our pickets on the Southliuld, whieii was beiog raistU a aliorl didtaiicu down the river The Albemarle was eonimaDdei! by Captsm Warley of iS. U., who coiuiileted her destruriiou by Olow- ing off her coating. l>uricg the day the euemy attempted u> oouio u[> the lloanoke and attack the fort with nine guuboats, but ni ter a severe tight with the lower fort, i^Fort Jones,) com mauded by Major L. C Latliam, 1st 2». O. T., Weio driv en otf, one of tne gunboats b«ing s j ili?al*led that it had to be lowed do'va ttie river. This da>'b tii^ht woa a per- f»-ct success to us, aud great credit is due to Maj. Latliaui for the mamigemeBt of his fort in this tiglit; also to Col John N. Whitfor*i, 67th M C T., commaiidiug the whole place ^ ^ Fri«lay night the iket entered Middle river, and shelled the town u, Uttle during Saturday across the island bo tweeu Middle and Koauokc rivers, being completely iad den fVoni view of our batterie-j U»r o*ttei les did not reply on this day, fxcept a few ehots as leettrs. Uu isun- dtiy th.» enemy renewed the shelling ot tUe town, and kept it up very heavily fryui 1 I'. M uutil some time af ter night. As eoon as (Jwa.

I pon tnis Capt. Fulghum, A. D. C., allantly volunteered to go ahead and see tuat the ruaa was clear, communicate with Col. VS nitford and return ith report. This he did, {lasjing along the road goin^ in aad coming out, under a Ueavy tir« trom the enemy s gunboats, wUich were tiring at evi-rything on tlie road, lie mft Oen. Baker a short distance from the town with an urgent message from Coi. VVliitford. advising him not to come into the town, liut he considered that a» the iij*u would in all probability have to fali. the guiiboat being debtroyed, it would be more generoub in him to go in and assume command, tuua rtlieving his siiuOidiLuie oiiicurs of tlie responsibility. When he eiitered the to An he immediateiy visited the forts on horseback, witu Co!. VV hilford, under a heavy lire. As he appeared to tiie troops, they would tl.eer hiiu lustily, aud tliis Would be the siicnal for the lireof tue guutx>ats to l e directed to that particular point, it was a hot time, bharpshoofsrb Uad tKieu tnrowQ out to prevent the enemy trom remov- the obstructions at the junction of Mmdle aud rtoau- oke rivers, but without avail. The Generai, fore.-eeia::; that the enemy would enter tho U'^auoke river in the ruoruiug and make their grand attack upou the upper orks, had ordereil them to be atrei:gtuouea, and ihe ork wa» f-arrtetl on during tfa« ui«jhi 'l »>o works had l)een built to resir't an attack from l>oato ■. jiuiu*: up the iljauoke, the gunboat Albemarle having beeu a full rotection against their comini: througn Middle river and down the Kuanokc. But this "toWer of sirer-.^tn" being nonn, they were enableti 1.0 take tlie works iu re- erse, r.ud there was scarcely a hope that the town could be n-‘Id. All w-as quiet Monday morning; net a shot was hred until about 10 A. M , when the whole ilset, nine heavy gunboats, steamed into the Koanoke nnd made fur the upper fort, then the earth rhook with the concussion of the sht-lls bursting in every direction, aud tUe boom- _ of at least seventy guns of the heaviest calibre, au- wered by the two he vy guns of the upper fori, i Fv^rt Hal.) Manfully the crew of the All>emttrle worked inese guus, but the guub•).^ls steamed down upon them in a regular eh-irge Soon a tremeaaous explosion told tUAt the m»:,^azin3 of this f>rt had been explodtfd, and the tleet parsed on to atiack Fort Jones. Throe guns of tliis fort b"re up tiie river and were worked with tne greatest ^'allantry imder t.he direction of Maj. Latham, who fougnt them until all his guns were di?-mounted. At th“ opening of the tight >en. Baker was ut lica l- iuarters in the middle of the town, witliout auy protec tion. This place wa.s portectly swept with a h^ilrtorm ol shot aud shell, and, when tiiey camjB up to short range, with canist*?r. lie removed to an old work near and there remained, receiving reports of the progress of the ut When no more guns could be brouglit to bear ui>on the boats an evacuation was ordered, and c.jnduct.**d umler a terrible tir» which was now directed upon al! the avenues of escape from the town. Tiie General brought otf the men himself and h-tlted them out of town, Just out of raDu'’-; of the guno-oats, tj receive the attack if pursued; but no forces were thrown outside of the town by the enemy. Col. Whitford displayed the m jcSt disfingaishcd gal lantry, he visited every place on horscback, was one of the la!»t to leave the town, and Haw in person that every thing was brought olF. To Major La:ham bslou^s the honor of whipping tue eatmy from ins fort ou the tirst attack, an'l of hghting to the last uutil ail hid guas w-:re ’.•jinoiintMd; he then brought olf m of his men, aud as the enemy ware f'ntering the dism.intled dehns of his well fojuht fort, he mouuwxl his norse an.l r^Hle im ti c. um.y 10 wnich tie mii^ht • leneral to j - j oe assigt.ed. The »*n'jiuv are said to hav« lowt ia killed, and it is sail! that one gunboat wa;i so badly lojure.l tha'- it rUuU at the wharf. They cannot u.ndcrstaud how tlie garrison was brought off with such am ill loss. The man igenient of the whole affair was masteriy in the highest degree.

Etil Coc.vsKLi.ORa.—The BicLmoud Enquirer greeted Congresa on the morning of its re-aaaem- bling with a long dissertation on its dntiea and re sponsibilities, in the courB« of which we find the following: — “The currency has now lost its purchasing power, and must he gotten ti J of altegethtr. The evil is incurable, and nothing but it? utter extmcfion will rid u« of the oppressive weight, which paralyzes production and de stroys commerpe ’’ We trust that Copgress has to» much of commoT' honesty to liBten to this covert recommeudutiou of rejiudintion. 'I'he carrcm y has not lost its purchas ing power, though that power is cerUiinly impaired. Indeed we think it may he said in truth, that it has lost none of that power since the adoption of the nu-Ksiirop of the lust Cocgress. And that they have served to stay the downward progress of the r.ur- reucy ia no -Rn’all praise. Wliaiever is done, let us have t'.o l enudiaiion.
