THE BATTLB OF NEWBKHN, Written for Tat Tinas. Just 42 years ago, (from MlU last March,) occurred an event io North Ctroliua, memorable ia the hisftry of our State. Roanoke IsTCud had already been captured by the Federal torWe and it was generally conceded that the mainland would be the enemy'f next objective point, either by way of Fort Macon, or by way ot Newbern. Briga dier General L. O. B. ' Branch wag placed in command of the Newbern section of the State and given brigade of five or six thousand men to defend that scope of country. General Branch immediately began to strengthen the unlimshed works below the town, along the river shore, and to further extend tbem. Four mict below Newbern on the Neuse river is -Fort Lane, mounted with old guns which were useless for anything save making noise, and two miles further down was Fort Thompson trom wnicn a line 01 work ran across the Beaufort road westward to a point at and beyond the railroad. Six miles below Fort Thompson is the mouth of Otter creek, from which ran another line of works ending in an impassable swamp. This will give some idea of the battle ground. On Wednesday, 12th of March, 1802, the enemy's transports, twelve in number, come to anchor in the river below the mouth of Otter creek, while 45 more were assending the river in their rear. Orders were at once issued to Col. Sin clair, commanding 35 N. C. Regiment, to proceed at once with his command to Fisher's Landing, which is just above the mouth of Otter creek, and resist any attempt of the enemy to land there. By 3 o'clock the following morning most of the troops were in position. News was soon received from Col. Sin clair and Capt. P. G. Evans that the enemy waa landing below the mouth of Otter creek, and Col. Vance was di rected to send his regiment to Croatan breastworks to occupy it. It was soon learned that that fire from the enemy's gunboats had forced Col. Sinclair's regi ment from Fisher's Landing and were rapidly landing troops at that place; whereupon Cols. Sinclair and Vance and their commands, together with Capt. Brem's battery, were ordered back to the Fort Thompson breastworks and every effort was made to strengthen our unfinished works to meet the on coming advance of the enemy. Late in the day the enemy began shelling our works from their gunboats, but without effect as they passed high in the air, over our heads. Our troops were placed in the works in the follow ing order: On the left, Lieut. Col. Barbour, 37th regiment,' and Maj. Gil mer, 27th regiment, between Fort Thompson and the Beaufort county road; this comprised the left wing com manded by Col. C. C. Lae. Lieut. Col. Haywood, 7th, CoL Sinclair, 35th, and Col. Clark's militia between the Beau fort road and the railroad, with a few unattached companies placed between the regiments composed the right wing, commanded by Col. R. F. Campbell. In this order the troops slept on their arms. Vol. ance held a position on the Weathersby road. About 7:30 o'clock on Friday morning the fire opened all along the line from the rail road to the river. The enemy's skir mishers fired a few shots into the mili tia, which caused them to flee in great disorder. Col. Clark reported the enemy n line of battle and in great force on hir right; whereupon Coh- Avery with the 33rd, N. C, was dispatched to meet them and the firing at once began, but the entire militia had now tied, and Col. Sinclair's regiment soon caught the infection and followed the example of the militia, retreating in the utmost disorder, which made a vacant space in IF rou&MMfmkL AND WILL ITirifer&ftuth's YOU'LL SHAKE NO MORE., IT CURES TO STAY C Xf RED XhlUs, Ague, Dengue, LaGrtppe .and all th&Maiariai is inaij FlesnJieiB to. 50c M Sf.OO ityoue the works, and laid open Haywood's right. The enemy soon poured in a column along the railroad and through a portion of the cut down ground in front which rrujrehed up behind the I raastworks to attack what remained of Caropliell's force. The 7th regiment met them with the bayonet and drove them headlong over the works, inflict ing heavy loss upon them as they fled, but soon returning with heavy rein forcmenta the 7th regiment was forced to yield, falling back in good order, crossing the Trent river on a bridge. The 28th regiment, Lieut. Col. Lowe, arrived too late for the battle, but bis command was serviceable in covering the retreat. Col. Lee and Ma. Gilmer's commands escaped by way of Newbern and took the rad leading to Kinston. The 7th regiment guarded the Trent river bridge until all were across, and took up lin of march on the Trent road for Kinston, reaching that place on the afternoon of the next day. Thus ended the Battle of Newbern. It his always been a wonder with us whyBurnsidea did not "bag" our entire force. He hadihe inside line and his infantry could easily have gained the bridges before we could, and both bridges were accessable to bis gunboats, and just why he did not improve his opportunity seems beyond comprehen sion. . - Gen. Branch's loss in the engage ment was 64 killed, 101 wounded and 313 missing; about 200 of the missing were prisoners and the remainder had gone home. The horses of Latham's battery and those of 4 pieces of Brem's battery were killed, and we lost in consequence ten pieces of artillery. Gen. Branch speaks well of Cols. Campbells and Lee, who commanded each a wing of his brigade in the action, and especially compliments the 7th, 27th and 33rd N. C. regiments for gallant behavior on the field. A little more than forty-two years have passed since that time, when another leaf was added to Southern history. The event is still remembered by many who were there, and as long as they live will not forget Friday, March 15th, 18G2, as the date of the date of the Battle of Newbern. W. W. H Cholera Infantum.

Judge Purnell of the United States district court, has issued an order regarding the Atlantic and North Carolina railway stating that nothing in his restraining order of May 26 shall have the effect of prevent ing the stockholders of the railway from holding a meeting and authoriz ing a lease, or to prevent the directors from executing a lease if so authorized If such a lease is made and presented to this court the latter will consider a motion to dismiss the bill and discharge the receivers. Governor Aycock was asked if a lease would not be made very quickly. He replied that he would take.up the matter at once and that he had notified Philadelphia bidders. There are two bidders, one the Atlantic Railway Company, which has put up (50,000 guarantee, the other being a Philadelphia syndicate. Mysterious Circumstance.

The people of the old North State have begun to realize that they made a mistake when they did not insist more importunately upon the nomination of Governor Aycock as vice president of the United States. It cannot be denied tht for several days preceding the final election Ojjthe gentleman who was to occupy the sec ond place on the ticket, ther was languor, indifference and doubt as to who would be the running mate of the Silent of Esopus. They canvassed the the situation with great' deliberation, and the choice finally fell upon an aged, but entirely worthy, Democrat from the state of West Virginia. . The most critical caviller could find no flaw in the harness of Mr. Davit) but it would have been gratifying to the people of North Carolina if they could have seen their "favorite son" this term employed ia no hackneyed sense chosen as vice president of the United States. The approaching campaign should be an aggressive one on the part of the Democratic party. We ha;e sat back supinely and assumed the defensive too long already. It is high time that we assume the aggressive. To carry for ward such a campaign, it is at least desirable that there should be a man on the ticket who can speak.' Such a man js Governor Aycock. The eloquence of the chief executive of the Tar Heel State is absolutely unri valed among the governors, and indeed among the officials whatever may be their position of the entire union. He was born with the gift of oratory. He must have been "dipped in the Liffey." He has the persuasive charm which belongs peculiarly to the popular ora tor. He can sway great masses of peo ple it the same manner that Abraham1 Lincoln swayed them. He is eloquent, argumentative and oratorical, without ever once relaxing his grasp upon the firm thread of his discourse. So far as his individual personality is concerned, he is one of the most charm ing men in the South. He numbers his friends by tUo legion, and each and every one of them was more than anx ious to see his name placed before the national Democratic convention as vice president of the United States. The poet tells us that: "The pebble In the streamlet scant Has changed the course of many a river; The dewdrop on the liaby plant Has warped the mighty oak forever." We are not prepared to subscribe to the intimation that Governor Aycock 's career has been warped. He is too great in mind and heart for any such casual circumstance permanently to affect his career. But the fact remains that if there had been some man with the voice, the vigor and the courage, physically speaking, to place him in nomination before the Democratic convention, he would have received a vote which would more thau have flattered his vanity, and perhaps have secured for him the nomination. But Governor Aycock is larger than the vice presidency. He is the gov ernor of one of the really great states of the union. He is the chief executive, be it remembered, of the state in which the Mecklenburg declaration of inde pendence was signed. The people of that grand old state chose him from among all their worthy citizens as the rightful leader of Demo cracy. They know him and esteem him for his true worth. It matters lit tle to Governor Aycock that he is not the vice presidential nominee. He is great enough within himself. Higher and larger honors and opportunities await him in the future. Not only does North Carolina recog nize it, but the whole south reaves it. His day will yet come, and whatever may be the higher plane to which the fortunes of politics elevate him, he will reflect the greatayi degree of credit on his native state and on the south, over which be has thrown the charm ing glamour of his incomparable per sonality.

Rubellifl 'hiladclphia agent of the Ittgpn bark Annita-e-Menottie, is in receipt of a letter from Sfper rerrara of the bark, telling how, on the ship's voyage to St. John, N. B., the crew were horribly bitten by hordes of bugs and centipedes. As a result of the sailors' battle tlfth the pests part of the crew are in the hofpital at St. John, and it is feared that blood-poisoning may result. ' un ner last trip lue bark brougbt a cargo of bones from Buenos Ayres. as always Happens in tins sort of a . . .... . cargo, there lurk thousands of nasty bugs and deadly crawling things. In discharging the bones the bug and centipede contingent took refuge in various parts of the ship, escaping the vigilance of the seamen. The bark sailed from Philadelphia on June 16, and arrived at St. John on June 23, The Delaware breakwater had been left behind a few hundred miles when the bugs and contipedes swarmed out of hiding places and actu ally took possession of the vessel. The decks and masts became covered with them. They attacked the sailors; they made an onslaught upon the man at the wheel. He would have been driven from his post had not a seaman been ordered by the skipper to beat off the bugs. The plight of the crew brcame serious. Nothing could conquer the terrible enemy. The bugs, Capt. Fer- rara says in his letter to Capt. Rubelli, were of the pinching species. They flew about the vessel and lit upon the sailors, particularly their faces. The centipede added to the horror of the situation by crawling up the inside of the seamen's trousers. "What a posi tion to be placed in," said Capt. Fer rara in bis letter. "It was awful. The crew were almost at the mercy of the bug and centipede (courage. In their desperation they tore sails to pieces, and with the bits about the length of towels, tried to beat off their blood thirsty assailant. It was useless. We killed hundreds of the tenacious pests, but as fast as we did so hundreds more swarmed up througu the openings in the hatches, lhe decks became so thick with the smashed bodies of . the enemy that it was with difficulty kept our footing. "The fight was a Borely unequal one, We soon saw that we could not con qtier the bug and centipede horde, so I ordered all sail to be clapped on, and this, despite the fact that a three fourths gale was blowing and the top masts on fore and mainmasts were bending like reeds. With the masts and yards covered with centipedes it was no easy work to handle the sails. I felt that our only salvation was to reach our destination as quickly as we could. There was a lime when I feared that the sailors would take to the boats and desert the bug-cursed ship. But I succeeded in persuading them to stick to the bark. "Under the great spread of canvass that we carried we made the trip in seven days, beating all previous runs by three days. No matter how hard the wind blew, we kept all sail on the ship. Meanwhile the bugs aud centi pede fought us. lue faces ana arms and hands of the crew were in a fright ful condition. Even the eyes of the sailors were affected. "You have seen me jolly, Capt, Rubelli," concluded Skipper Ferrara, "You ought to have seen me aud the crew when St. John came in sight i became devout. I prayed. The an chor was no sooner let go in the harbor than, with a shout, the crew lowered the boats and were soon pulling franti cally shoreward. Poor fellows, it will be a long time before some of them re cover from their bites. lhe most serious I ordered to the hospital very much fear blood poisoning for not a few, and I am a lile nervous on the same score myself."
