Rev. Mr. Brooks,
Chaplain of a Georgia Regiment, at
Roanoke, made his escape in a sail boat that conveyed away our stores.
He says
Elizabeth City was fired by our men on the approach of the
Yankees, but not all burnt.
The
Yankees wounded are carried there.
Col. Green, with his
North Carolina and
Georgia soldiers, arrived on the island to aid the martyrs of
Roanoke, but were taken prisoners.
Rev. Mr. Brooks was in a sail boat that was carrying away our stores.
We lost over $75,000 worth of stores.
We were fortunate enough to spill our powder rather than let the
Yankees have it. We saved the greater part of our provisions and stores.
The prisoners.

Also, we learn that
