ght miles from the month of the river. Finding nobody but a few negroes, they raised white flag and passed over to Coleraine, on the opposite side of the river. What they did at Coleraine is unknown. Col. Mitchell, militia commander of Chowan county, was at Edenton when the Yankees arrived, and conversed with a Yankee captain, and was assured that they did not intend to interfere with private property or disturb citizens not in arms. When Colonel Mitchell left Edenton, a few old cannon oats, but no other depredations had been committed. The Yankees landed near the farm of Monroe Wheedby, in the vicinity of Elizabeth City, and robbed him of all his poaltry and hogs, and took off china ware, &c. The militia force of Chowan county, are removing all provisions from the river. The refugees continue to reach Suffolk. The Rev. Mr. Amiss, Mr. Hathaway, and families, reached Suffolk Friday night.

Sketch of Edenton. --Edenton is quite a flourishing little town of some one thousand seven hundred inhabitants. It is a post town, a port of entry, and capital or Chowan county, North Carolina, and is situated at the head of Eqenton bay, which opens into Albemarle Sound, a little below the mouth of Chowan river, one hundred and fifty miles east of Raleigh. It is one of the principal towns in the Northeastern part of the State, carries on considerable trade, and is only sixty six miles south of Norfolk, Va. In June, 1852 one thousand six hundred and forty tons of shipping were owned and employed in the coast trade, and during that year three schooners, with an aggregate burthen of two hundred and fifteen tons, were built. Edenton was settled in 1716, and contains a splendid court-house, a jail, two churches--one Episcopal and one Methodist--an academy, and one printing office issuing a weekly newspaper.

Britt's negroes, and a number of other negroes have been spirited away — all this in Hertford co. On the 6th instant the vandals landed at Bethel, Winton, and Cloraine; took off a large number of negroes and made prisoner of young Sharp, a worthy, quiet young man, taking him on board their ships. In this county, and in the counties of Chowan and Nansemond, the Yankee squads under the direction of negro guides, have outraged humanity most shockingly. They have carried off many of our best citizens, who were quietly attending to their agricultural pursuits; insulted most grossly delicate females, and destroyed millions of property. If Government would send a few regiments as far down as Elizabeth City, and enable planters to harvest their immense crops, it would be an excellent move. Several recruiting officers of Colonel W
