Upon the secession of Virginia, April 17tb, 1861, the Confederate Government had removed , from Montgomery Alabama to Richmond Va. Tbe Old Dominion was to-become tb great battle field and to its devoted borders were sent as fast as assem bled lmvjwt 4ho whole available force re cnilted lo North Carolina. Col. - Junius Daniel, commandiBg 14lhN.C. Volunteers, Col. William r D. Pender wuh the - 6lh Regiment N. C. T.,; were? at Suffolk.1 Both of these officers had been in' the U. 3. Army, Col. Solomon Williams with the 32nd Regiment N. C. & T.; also lately in the U. B. service, was4 at ' Sewell's Point near Norf ol k. That city with its Navy and amunitions was commanded by Gen. Benjamin linger of South Carolina who had lately resigned as Major of Ordinance in the Federal service. The 1st N. C. Cav alry Col. Robert Ransom and a greater portion of our infantry regiments, were at and1 around Manassas Junction. Five companies of the 17th N. C. Regi ment under Col. Martin were first carried to Fort Columbus in New York harbor. That work-thus converted into a prison was commanded by Col. Loomis. r He was an ancient martinet vvith a soul tod narrow for charity, and he treated Messrs. Mason and Siidel and the Confederate officers un der his change" as if they were delinquent school boys or so many penitentiary con victs, Not so with the citizeus of New York. Abundant sympathy and kindness were manifested on their part to the cha grin of Col.'Leomis and the U. S. Govern ment. This resulted in their. transfer to .Fort Warren. The Bostonians were not officious in their kiudaess, but in the for bearance and generosity of Col. Dimick there was abundant compensation in the transfer. Jan. 15th brought the welcome tidings of exchange and liberation. The 17th Regt. was soon reorganized with W. F." Martin as Colonel, John Lamb of Mar tip Lt.r Col. anl Capt T, H. Sharpe of the Hertford Light Infantry, Major. Lts. Julian G. Moore and J.' A. Perry who had recently married Miss Mary Fowle of Washington N, C, had in the mouth fol lowing Lieut. Moore's release from prison, recruited another Hertford company and it became Battery C, 3rd N. C. Light Artille ry Battalion,. Mnjor John V, Moore com manding, Julian G. ; Moore became Cap tain of this, battery with James ;W. Moore, J..A. Perry and I. HPowell Lieutenants. Lieut. Thomas Longworth Moore hadie -signed from U, B. Navy on the secession of North -C.'irolina, and was then cruising oa the Alert in the Gulf of Mexico. Maj. Sharpe was succeeded as Captain by Wil liam B. WiseT Jrl, of Murfreesboro. Capt. J. M. 0. Luke with Norman L. Shaw of Harrellsville, and W. D, Taylor and Dr. 8larkey Sharp as Lieutenants had also ie cruited the 6th Hertford company, and al to belonffed to the 17th regiment: The only son of Hertford county then known to le in the enemy's service, waa Captain Junius. B.- Wheeler U. S. Engineers on de tailed dutyas an instructor at the Military Academy at West Point, j Charles IL Foster probably wltb a prop er ppirit had-gone back- to his own people. Ht had sold in 1861-the Citizen Newspaper to S. R, OJmtead of New York who edi ted H .Until March' of that jeari and-then repaired to Montgomery j and accepted ' service under the new Confederate Govern meuU . He was not the only northern man who came into wux midst afld acted in this way. James E, Fiske of Vermont resigned with Thomas L. Moore and became - Lieu tenant in the Confederate States Navy. Col. A. 11. Wright of Georgia was super seded and removed from the command of .Roanoke Island. His regiment was re placed by a portion of the command of Gen. nenry AJ Wise of Va. The Ex Gov ernpr was sick at Nags Head,. and took to part in the defence of, the Island, CoL H, M- Shaw with Lis own regiment and the STst under Col. Jordan together with a amall.'foxoe of- Virgiuians led by the gallant Capt Ol- Jennings Wise, constituted the availabloorce to meet the attack of Gen. Burnsida,- Jefferson Davis' well knew that the placwa utterly untenable ana thus limited the number of its dfenders. Croa- tan sound leading, past the Island 'is two miles wide, and the invaders rpight easily have removednh' obstructions and 6ailed into the Albemarle had they so- minded. A battery Fort Barton stood on the southern extremity of the Island:, others had been built.with a view-of protection the obstruc tions West , the water onj the East being too shallow for the- passage of- a- fleet. Feb. 7th the Federal armament niovcd up from Hatteras inlet,- and - after a furious bombardment of the work nearest to them they effected a landing in the- rear- of the '. Confederate . guns. ; JChis f I necessitated a precipitate retreat to an mtrenehment-near the center of the't Island, -the-flanks', of which were protected by morasses- that were reported and 1 considered v im passible. On the morning of the 8th, Gwi.'Keno movedT his Columns to assail t thia positibn. Jfpi-i :m;. X ."-W!j6 Time and again' they were driven back with loss. Capt.

It in the progress of the war he becamrnore yiJjM no braver with stricken field?, for in the whole Confederate army on that disastrous 8th of February there was no more valiant soul than Hetry j M. Shaw. Gen. Burnside had landed between ten and'fifteeu thousand men under Gen. Runo. Col. irthaw, after manning the batteries, had but a thousand left to defeod the main intrenchment. Twenty-two gunboats heav ily armed with Parrot guns, ' con ft onted six small merchant 6teaners undtr tLc command of Com. W. F. Lynch. The Curlew, so well known to the people ot Hertford county, was sunk by a sinele shell; but her consorts bravely held their own Until forced to retire for want of am nitioa. The Confederate loss i a killed and wounded were one hundred". Two thous and were taken! prisoners. Aui'mg' the number weie Major Jesse J. Yeates of ihu. Sist N. C. S. T and his former company then! commanded by Capt. t Julian Picot. Another valued citian of Hertford Capt H. G. Trader, Quarter Master of the 8th N- C. S. T., waa likewise a captive. Un der the cartel recently agreed upon, they were all parol etl in a few days aud speed ily exchanged. President Davis and J. P. Benjamin, then Sect, of War, were much blamed for this disaster, and a committee of Consress censured the great Louisiana lawyer and statesman of the inadequacy of his preparations at Roanoke Island. But this was all wrong. Something had to be done to protect and satisfy the people of North Carolina. Ten thousand men, by superior naval forces, could have been isjv ,lated ani starved into- subjection, and quite enough' force' was subjected to cap ture in view of impossibility of holding any island then in reach of the United States fleets. Mr. Davis deserved no n-proacbl except for his hasty and ungenerous -criji--asms- upon the gallant commander lie knew must surrender, and who died on the field of battle aflerwards,still smarting ujj der the sense of inj ustice done hinv 03' the President of the Confederate States. j It is impossible to convey an idea of the alaim and distress pervading the Albemarle region on the reception of the news from the coast. The Federal gun boats were momentarily expected by every one living near the water courses, Lieut. Col, W. T. Williams of Nush", with a battalion ol six companie s of Infantry with Nichols, light battery from Petersburg Va., occupied j Win ton-. On Feb. 20lh 18G2 three Feder-1 al steamers passed up the river and were j fired upon-by Col. Williarn's command. Thy fell back to Barfielt!s,-and having shel cd Winton-to their hearts-content, landca a party, who upon approaching the village, found that every man infantry and artil- ery, who were sent for its protection, had most ingloriously fled in' the direcliouj of Murfreesboro. The rutbles9 invaders after burning the Court House on the place that it was uaid as quarters for the troops, pro ceeded to apply the torch to the Hotel ind almost every private house in the village. Under act of the Legislature the courts of Hertford county were held'' until' the end of the war, at the Methodist church around which the village of Un;on has since been built.. This state of affair? produced a change in our condition in eastern North Carolina. There was a speedy exodus of ths free 'ne groes to Roanoke Island accompanied by a few' obscure white men who were either deserters from tlie Confederate army or fugitives from conscription. Many of these known as Buffaloes, became agents and spies of the enemy, and made frequent midnight visits to the slaves and disaffect ed whites to procure recruits for the Fed eral army By degrees these people became infamous and intolerable. They ran off slaves aad plundered smoke houses until nummary vengeance made their visits too full of peril to be often indulged in. Xtese miscreants were never numerous in Hert ford, and their misdeeds were confined gen erally to the neighborhood of the Chowan river.- j, j i f To be continued) ItKMENISOXXCES OF THE BOKO. No. 2 J "In vabat reminiscence hac res." I The kind reception civen to the little sketch sent to you some time since as to the Boro, encouiages - me to send an ac count of an event that once occurred in your ancient village, whFch created great excitement at the time; and may yet be re membered by some among the events that have gone by. But few indeed, are left, wUj were 1 witnesses of this eyent. Even that correct and veracious chronicler of Hertford (Judge Moore) has omitted it in his Sketches; perhaps he has never heard of the event, since it occurred long before he was born. ; " The scene occurred in the very ispot where my former sketch Cas to- Dr. Bor land and Aunt Sally), was laid; ; at thehpuse now occupied" by Ool. Uriah Vaughau. This house was built by Benjamin Roberts who was ah extensive merchant, much es-j teemed for- hi intelligence, integrity J and virtues.- He died: earlj;Jeavinga widowj Hud three children -one" son- and l two daughters.- Many in our midst- koew the sotf (Dr. Thomas V. Roberto amiable, inte(ligentrandhonorableJ He died re-j cently at the liouse iot-his niece, Mrs. Kan som, in Northampton County, the wife of Senator Ransom. One of the daughters Hon.? William H. Murfree, who wis dis tinguished as a Statesman ana a lawyer, mrt rnrpsented tlie district in 0.inCTe'B '-f from lolo 10 low. Both of them, with iiieir iamiura, moved to Nashville, Tenn. is the romantic marriage of Matt B.I Murfree that we'propose to record. Ah to manlic and as thrilling as that embalmjed j hrpoetry by Sir Walter Scott, and imitates in rexample the union of young Louhenvar of -Netherby who was rescued at tbe aitar,. when about to be immolated to an ungracious rival. Mary Roberts was beaut iful and accomplished: this added to her wealth,' made her an object of atten. tion, admiration and" love of many devoted suiters, ; Attract" ve to all, repulsive to none, many paid her their vows of affec tion. Among these was General Boon Felton, then a rising and popular youcg man of fineft presence and pleasing man ners. He was a member of the House of Commons in 1813 '14 ; and ot the Senate in 1618. lie seemed to be the favored one. The day was fixed; the consent of the lady and her mother and her guardian (John Wheeler,; Sr.) gained; license pro cured; invitations given out aud "all went mery as a marriage bell." But how un certain4 are stll earthly hopes! Truly does the great poet (Shakspeare) sav. " Oh. how this Love resembleta -The uncertain glorie3 of an April day, Wliich now shows all the beauty of the sun, And straight a cloud s-veeps all away." The day before the marriage was to take place, a note from the hands of her physi cian (Dr. Robert A; Wilson) wait, seit to Mr. Murfree who had been a discarded suiter for her hand, tint if he still contin ued his intention, she would run off with him and marry him, which he gladly ac ce&'td. to, and they rode that night with some friends to Thomas Deanes .Esq., about four miles off, and there they wei e made man and wife. Never before in this ancient town v;is such excitement created as when this news was known. The next day General Felton arrived, for he lived 12 miles away, w-th his groomsmen attendant, and' friends. "Then and there, was there mounting amon the Netherhy elan, The Fonters and Feu wicks, they rode and they ran ; There wus racing and chasing o'er N&therby'a - lee; But the hide of Netherby they neve? could see.' ' f From this UDion has spiurg a numerous family iu-Tennessee loved, honored ami resected, and puts to flig'it the assertion of Lola Montez, that "runaway matches, like runaway horses, wl'1 often end in a smash up," I have thus revived the recollection of an event which has already, perhaps, or soon will pass away frurn the memory of us all. t. I will send you from my memorandum, a more recent event than thid, as regards one, whv once figured extensively in your tovvn ; of whom, could your streets talk, you would hear many strange events i f h3 nu merous encounters, some of which had like lo have had a tragic end, and of his hejira to Texas.

Saunders Esq., landed here yeaterday, the largest haul of - herrings in our recol lection. He sold and salted 330,000 and lost and gave away at least 23 000 or 40 -000. Tney were piled along the beech over one hundred yards, aud from two to thiee feet deep. To-day he caught nearly 200.000 at one haul," He is selling at one dollar per thousand; At this writing, there are about one hundred carts waiting for fish. Too many fish for the good of the country. It is a blessing and a curse com bined to our section. It is a blessing, be cause there are so many poor people who are enabled to purchase, aud it is a curse, because "niggers," dead-beats and loafers will not work any more in the next twelve months . They can work a month aud buy sufficient quantit' of fish to last them a year or longer. Tney will attend all the 'lections dis summer," with a dozen "hains" in one pocket, and and two corn cakes injjbe other. It is qijite amusing to see thjtTaVidity they manifest in "getting their fish." BmcK Top. Fifty Dollars A Yea. it! The expen ses of many an individual is fifty dollars, and in many instances, even more per month. Yet, this sum is an ample one to feed a laborer in North Carolina now for one rear! Just see our figures . 2 bl. corn at $3 per bl., $7.50 1000 Herrings, i.oo 200 lbs. Bacon, ' 12.00 1 bl. Flour, 7.00 20 lbs. Coffee at 23c., ' 4 60 50 lbs.
