To get possession of Roanoke Island, with a view to command the rich valley country of North Carolina, or to operate against Norfolk, was the cherished object of the Yankee Government in preparing this vast and expensive expedition. The cannonade began on Friday last, from upwards of fifty vessels, and car batteries seem to have been worked with coolness and judgment. It appears that on Saturdrogressing at last accounts at the Southern extremity of the island.

"The Provisional Governor" of North Carolina. --A Hatteras correspondent of the Boston Traveller thus describes the pursuits of the Governor appointed by the sand-bar Convention to exercise jurisdiction over the districts of the State occupied by the Federal army: We also passed a small church in which we were told the Governor of North Carolina preaches regularly. Start not at this announcement. The fact is susceptible of an easy explanation. It will be remembered that a few weeksNorth Carolina preaches regularly. Start not at this announcement. The fact is susceptible of an easy explanation. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago a handful of the professedly loyal people of this region held a Convention and attempted to organize a loyal Provisional Government. A Rev. Mr. Taylor, who is represented as a sort of Parson Brownlow, was chosen Governor, and here is the church in which he officiates. It is a one story, unpainted, dilapidated looking affair as we have seen for many a day, Half its panes were gone, it had no pews, only rough board seats, the pulpit was a mere square box, while the floor was covered with fi

He read them to show that their language was similar, and therefore did not justify the effort that had been made to make the latter appear as particularly courteous and friendly to Jeff. Davis. Touching upon the state of the country at that time, Mr. Bright referred to the compromise efforts and the cordon of border slave States which engaged therein, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and others, at first pronouncing against Secession; but Northern Republicans refusing to meet them in like spirit, eventually changing their course.

The North Carolina coast and its points of interest and defence. The following description of the main points now threatened by the Yankees on the coast of North Carolina, may not prove uninteresting at this juncture: Hatteras Inlet — the Granary of the South. Hatteras Inlet, nearly midway between Fort Macon and Roanoke Island, because of the more difficult navigation of Ocracoke, may be said to be the key to Albemarle, Pamlico, and Core Sounds, and their tributaries. Core Sound, oNorth Carolina, may not prove uninteresting at this juncture: Hatteras Inlet — the Granary of the South. Hatteras Inlet, nearly midway between Fort Macon and Roanoke Island, because of the more difficult navigation of Ocracoke, may be said to be the key to Albemarle, Pamlico, and Core Sounds, and their tributaries. Core Sound, on account of its shallowness and the inaccessibility of the main land bordering it, is of little consequence to the enemy, except in a rear attack upon Beaufort with light steamers.
