ed in Elizabeth City and Warwick counties within the last six weeks, it is doubtful whether a half a million of dollars would repair the damage. Among other things, it is said that now they are laying under contribution the large forests of valuable ship-timber lying on the bay and inlets of this peninsula. Besides plunder, the most contemptible acts of petty tyranny have been resorted to by the Lincoln "protectors of public property."--One instance will suffice to illustrate this: Rev. Mr. Adams, pastor of the Baptist Church in Hampton, was expressly told by General Pierce that if he was ever seen in Hampton again, he (Gen. P.) would have him arrested and imprisoned in Fortress Monroe during the war. Mr. A.'s crime consisted in his refusal to take the oath of allegiance to the United States when asked to do so by Gen.

Recaptures of one of our vessels with six of the enemy as prisoners. --The Norfolk Day Book states that Captain Adams' sloop, which the enemy captured several weeks ago, with a load of bacon from Smithfield, bound to Norfolk, was recaptured on Thursday up James River. It appears she had some five or six persons on board who were engaged in a reconnoitering expedition, and having got up the river beyond the protection of the enemy's guns, the wind died out and left them to the mercy of their captors, who pounced down on them in boats and secured vessel and crew.
