Important Trials in North Carolina. --In the Walker county court, on Friday last, James B. Strickland was tried for the murder of a soldier by the name of Simeon Wilkins, his brother-in-law, in August last. The parties lived in Johnston county, and the case was removed from Johnston to Wake court for trial, because the prisoner did not believe he could have an impartial trial in his own county. It appeared from the evidence that Wilkins belonged to Captain Sucad's company of volunteers, now stationed near Manassa, and had returned home for a short time on furlough. Strickland, Wilkins, and others, being at Boon hill on a drunkea frolic, a quarrel sprang up between S. and one of the other parties, when Strickland out with his knife, threatening to kill the other party. Whereupon Wilkins endeavored to pacify S., and to get him to put up his knife, when he rushed upon Wilkins, stabbing him to the heart, and mutilating his body in a horrid manner. The jury found the prisoner

We must make the best of the means still at our disposal, annoy the enemy with our privateers, and gradually form the nucleus of a strong naval organization. Some of the best officer of the old Navy are in the Southern service; the boss navy-yard of the old Government is in our uninterrupted possession, and in his immediate neighborhood is North Carolina, whose naval stores of every kind are well nigh irresponsible.

to feed a regiment for thirty days. There was not a single man killed on either side, as the cowardly rascals did not stand long enough to fire their pieces — except one,who stopped out and shot, and killed, Col. Wright a horse from under him. He was one of the taken. Our men could have captured every one of the enemy if they (our troops could have succeeded in landing from the . The Georgia regiment succeeded, landing, after wading up to their arm-pits for over half a mile. The North Carolina troops seven hundred in number) tried to cut the retreating enemy off, by wading in a different direction from the Georgia troops; but they got into a deep channel of water (eight feet deep) and had to return.-- Had they succeeded in landing, the whole of the Hessiane could have been captured with perfect ease. Unfortunately for them, they could not procure any flats to carry with them to land the soldiers. Consequently they had to run the steamers in until they prounded, and then had

Mell steamers used in the Confederate service. The exigencies of war having rendered it necessary that two mail steamers should be taken by the military authorities on the North Carolina coast, the contractor at Edenton addressed the following letter to the Postmaster General in reference to a consequent change of schedule: Edenton, N. C., Sept. 19, 1861. Hon. Mr. Reagan, P. M. General-- Dear Sir: --The Government authorities having pressed two of my steamers (the Sea-Bird and Corlew) into service, to be used in the naval defences of our coast, I am left with but one steamer (the Stag,) and she is too small to afford accommodations to passengers, &c., at night. I have therefore been forced to change the time of leaving both this place and Plymouth, and hereafter, until ordets from you, the mail will leave Ply mouth in the morning in time to make connection with the express train on the Seaboard Railroad. I will state that this change will cause no delay to the mail
