Captain O. Jennings Wise--General Wise--a North Carolina Lincolnite shot--Gen. Henningsen, &c.[special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.]
Norfolk, Feb. 13.
--A Mr. Wallace, belonging to one of the North Carolina regiments, engaged in the Roanoke fight, says he helped to carry Capt. O. J. Wise off the field to a tent, and saw his wounds dressed.
One ball passed through his hip, the other entered his back obliquely, which he saw extracted.--Capt. Wise seemed cheerful, and did not think his wounds mortal.
General Wise sent down a flag of truce yesterday to Roanoke Island.
He is now near Currituck Court-House.
He is something better, and bears his son's misfortune with fortitude, and says he has more sons left to sacrifice in defence of the Southern Confederacy and her noble cause; that he himself yet lives ‘"to fight on and fight ever."’
One of General Henningsen's men called at a house near Elizabeth City, N. C., and asked for a drink of water, when the man of the house called him ‘"a d — d rebel,"’ and fired at him, the shot striking him in the forehead.
Henningsen's men opened fire on him, killing him in his house, and then burnt the house and him in it.
General H. is said to be in Edenton.
It is believed the mortar fleet is intended for this place.
