e's intention is, if possible, to concentrate a large force in the neighborhood of Elizabeth City, and thence march towards Norfolk for the purpose of an attack in the rear. This, however, is very doubtful; and it is probable that the crippled fleet, with all its shivering Hessian troops, will accomplish but little more than the stealing of a few negroes, and the plundering at unprotected points of the barns, smoke-houses, and hen roosts, of the thrifty farmers in the productive section of Carolina, which they are so anxiously hoping to possess, without serious interruption. That they will have a hard road to travel in gaining any decisive victory, is perfectly evident to all who know the character and spirit of the people of that region, and especially the man of power and action who commands our brave troops on the sound. Snow fell here this morning for about two hours, and then changed to rain, the wind blowing from the East, but not heavily. Corn is selling here at 65-6

I learn that more slaves effected their escape last week from Norfolk county. They belong to farmers residing on or near Tanner's creek. They doubtless get off at night in boats sufficiently large to cross the Roads and land them at or near Fortress Monroe. The loss of valuable negro men falls heavily upon the gentlemanly and kind-hearted farmers and gardeners in the section of the county above mentioned, and prompt and judicious measures should at once be taken to prevent slaves from getting off by water to the forts and vessels of the common enemy. The deluded negroes, thus leaving their best friends and comfortable homes, where they are fed, clothed, and allowed all reasonable privileges, vainly suppose that they will fare better, and the more favorably situated, under the protection of the Yankees, than at h

And notwithstanding the reliable statements relative to the strict rules to which they have to submit, and the rigid and inhospitable treatment they receive after they get within the enemy's lines, it is believed that these stampedes will continue unless a thorough look-out be kept along the shore, and especially near the mouths of Tanner's and Mason's creeks.
