The rushing together of the detachment obstructed my view; but as I came up, the sergeant stepped aside and said, Look there, adjutant. Moore had fallen over on the trail, the blood gushing from his wound all over his face. His little brother was at his side instantly. No wildness, no tumult of grief. He knelt on the earth, and lifting Moore's head onto his knees, wiped the blood from his forehead with the cuff of his own tattered shirt-sleeve, and kissed the pale face again and again, but very quietly. Moore was evidently dead, and none of us cared to disturb the child. Presently he rose—quiet still, tearless still—gazed down on his dead brother, then around at us, and, breathing the saddest sigh I ever heard, said just these words: Well, I am alone in the world.

uated near an angle formed by the sand-bank known to sailors as Cape Lookout, only communicates with the inland sea through a kind of narrow lagoon, which stretches southward, as Currituck Sound extends northward. It was nevertheless the inlet most frequented by trading-vessels before the war. It was protected by Fort Macon, which the Federals had captured in April. At a short distance from this fort, but on the mainland, stood, on the two sides of a small bay, the towns of Beaufort and Moore-head City. A railroad connects the latter with the town of Goldsboroa and with all the railway lines of North Carolina. This was the junction of railway lines that Burnside was charged to break up after the capture of Newberne—an operation which might have had a great bearing upon the whole system of Confederate defences, but which he was obliged to forego in consequence of the reverse sustained by the Federal troops before Richmond.

It is also represented that a powerful fleet is now in rendezvous at Morehead City, with a view to an early naval attack upon Wilmington. It is believed that a simultaneous movement will be made upon Weldon or some other supposed accessible point on the great Southern railway. The North Carolina papers indicate a manifest uneasiness not only for Wilmington and the country east of Raleigh, but even for the safety of the capital itself.
