Under way in company with! thje "Palmetto Stfete," at 11 20 last night, and steen-4 cd down tbe harbor. At 4 20 this morning cross ed the bar, arid at 5 20 commenced action by at taikking a large propeller, which in three shotis we placed "hors de combat." Twenty minutes aiften wards, when ;day broke, she could not be fcperi, and, I presume, went on a visit lo monster l)avy Jones. V f 3The next vessel we attacked, was a large ide wheel steamer, which we 6et on lire but coull not capture, owing . to her superior speed. Werthein engaged a large propeller and side-wheel stemer, . partly crippling, ooin, nu beniiS vho lire. She struck, and as I was about shovirig off to take charge of her, 6teamed out of range of our guns, re-hoisted her flag and opened with! her rifled gun.. "Ve then steered into a crowd ojf six large vessels' and engaged them, but they soon got out of range, Owing to their .superior stealing 'qualities. ; j"' ' . , ' It was a singular sight, one little vessel whip ping six bigopes,whose shot andjhe!l had no iffect on hor. It remihdedjme ol the ' bull in the dhina shop." The Palmetto sunk one vessel, which went down with all on board. . - i But it was left to our little craft to do most f the fightiug and catty off the" palm. We chased the Yankee hounds about ten miles ofTshorel and then steered in and joined the; Flag-officer's" vesi eel, PalmettChaState, and here we are laid 'up at our:wbarl without a singlo casualty.- I' ; Willi NEXT SESSION OP J.

By Command o Maj. Gen. G. W. Smith : SAM. W. MELTON, Major and A. A. Gee. .: ' t A PHOOI-AMATION, .11 " - ZEDULON B. V'ANCE, Governor or the -State op North CAiiotixi. Whereas;, it ! has been made known to me that a large number of oldiers from our armies are abeat from their- eftlarsj without proper leave, in this tin hour of our greatest need, and it being confidently believed that ai Urge majority of such were impelled to this course by a natural and almost irresistible uesire to see their homes and. families once more af ter so long aa abaerfee, and not because of a coward, ly dele minationi to leave their bravo comrades to share all the dangers and hardships of the field alone; and Whereas, Majj, Oen. O. W. Smith, in eommaad r the department of North Carolina, by consent of tbe Secretary of Warj has published an order declalng that all who may voluntarily return to duty by the 10th day of February next, shall be received int their several commands .with no other puninhraen; than a forfeiture of their pay for the time they haw been so abeent'Vifhout leave; and declaring-fun Lor that all who do mat so return by the said 10th day of February, shall, when apprehended, be tried for de sertion, and upon Conviction, be made to suffer death: Now, therefore, I, ZEBULON B. VANCE, Govern or of the State of North Carolina, do issue this ray proclamation to all soldiers from this State, serving in the armies of the Confederacy, who are now ille gally absent from their colors, commanding them to j return to duty with their comrades, and exhorting i them to avail themselves of this opportunity of sav j ing their friends from the disgrace and infamy which j will cling forever to the name of a deserter from hU oountry's cause, arid themselves from a felon's dotith. Many, after carrying their country's flag in triurcph j through various bloody conflicts, and making tbeui- selves a name of: which their children's children mihi j have been justly proud, have forfeited it all by ob- senting themselves! atra moment when their own Ht.t pg iirfgucu auu anourto" OojOUted py"abrutaT, hulf- savage foe. Now Is the time to re-inetate themselves, j by a prompt return to duty. I appeal to them 10 j stand by their country yet a little longer, and not to I sully by desertion the bright and glorious reputation I of the State, whidh they bave helped to win oi a hundred hrd-fought fields ; and I appeal to all got d bMi loyal citizens throughout the State to give their influence to indace these men to return. Let no one unmoved by this appeal to patriotism and honor, sap pose that he can remain at hbfte with impunity ; the lull power of the State authorities, aided if need be by the Confederaev,- shall be put in force t arrest .him and bring him to punishment after the 10th day of February next, iand there shall be no rest for the deserter in the borders of Kerth Carolina. And let none eiouse their desertion by declaring that they go home to takexaro of their families; they will aJl nothing to the comforts of their families by hiding like guilty men in the woods by day, and by plunder ing their neighbor, by night; they only bHng nhaxne and suffering upon tho heads of the innoeent, and their little children,-when gray headed old men, will have tbe finger of isoorn pointed at them and the bit ter taunt will ring in their ears, " Your father skulked in the woods to keep from fighting for his coup try." Tho State is now trying to provide food for jon-r families, and each county is making a similar pro vision ; and as your Chief Magistrate I promise yoa . that the wife and child of the soldier who is in the army doing his duty thall share ths last bushel ot meal and the last pound of meat in the State. Let every patriot in the land assist with all his influence in the execution: of this proclamation, and our victo rious ranks will, again be filled, and our country soon be rid of the enemy.
