ed on account of her dreadful death. Gen. Butler and staff arrived at Fortress Monroe yesterday. He will probably leave very shortly for his command at Ship Island. The wind blew a heavy gale here Monday, from about southwest. Trees, fences, &c., were thrown down by the force of the wind, and the water in the harbor was greatly agitated. The ferry steamers crossed the river with difficulty, and on several occasions failed to land passengers at the ferry wharf. The sounds of North Carolina were doubtless exceedingly rough, and it is hoped some of Lincoln's fleet are driven ashore and knocked to pieces by the breakers, or have gone to the bottom of the sea. The steamer Kahukee went to the Roads yesterday, and after communicating with a Federal steamer, returned with a number of ladies and several gentlemen, who are destined to various parts of the South.

The regiment of each is indicated by brass letters and figures on the caps, thus--"W. L." (Wise Legion), "46," "59," "8 N. C. S. T.," "31," "Miss. " "Ga.," &c.

For the most part they are low sized, stunted, sandy-complexioned, hardy fellows, attired in coarse but comfortable uniforms of gray jean cloth. The Virginians, however, form an exception. They preserve a gentlemanly effeminacy, not disguised by the exposure of camp life, and affect a better style of uniform and dress. The accoutrements were of the most

Another pressure on McClellan --By a Washington letter, of February 20th, we learn the following: Washington city is filled with rumors respecting the disposition of the rebels to evacuate Manassas. It is said that the trains are busily in motion sending troops not only down to Richmond, but farther south to a point in North Carolina, where it is supposed General Burnside intends to strike. If this evacuation is taking place it will necessarily be slow work. It is estimated here that with the utmost activity on the part of the rebels they cannot transport their army and stores to Richmond in less than three weeks, and even then much of their bulkiest baggage would necessarily be lost. A pressure has been brought to bear upon General McClellan to advance immediately, if for another purpose than to assure himself that the rebels are not really fleeing away. It is felt that he cannot afford to have the same accident happen to him that occurred to Gen. Buell at Bowling Gre

ne Enfield rifle, and gave information regarding the approach.--The two companies met the enemy and commenced firing, at the same time slowly skirmishing to the rear towards the battery.--They then took their places on the extreme right and commenced a rapid fire. A few words as to the topography of the field. Roanoke Island lies between Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, about fifty miles from Hatteras, and is separated from the mainland by Croatan Sound. Stretching along the coast of North Carolina is a harrow strip of sandy land, varying from half a mile to one and two miles in width. The farthest projecting point is Cape Hatteras, near which is the inlet which gave entrance to the Federal fleet. The island is twelve miles in length, and, in its broadest part, about two miles across, with many indentations to its shores. About half way down, there are two marshes and swamps coming very near over to each other, leaving only about seventy-five yards of solid ground.--The swamp on

From North Carolina. the attack upon Elizabeth City--"Short of Ammunition" --firing the Town, &c. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camden C. H., N. C., Feb. 25th, 1862. Though somewhat late, it may interest your readers to have a correct account of the attack upon Elizabeth City The Yankees took us rather by surprise. The small battery of four 32-pounders at Cobb's Point was in a state of incompletion — it would have taken two days more to complete it. Eleven of the Yankee gunboats came up about seven o'clock on the morning of the 10th. Six of our gallant little fleet was lying between the city and the battery. Gen. Henningsen's battery of light artillery was placed about half mile in the rear of the heavy battery to prevent land forces from cutting us off. The enemy came up within half a mile before they opened upon us — at that distance giving us a perfect shower of 32-pound rifle shell. Our little fleet opened a hot fire on them, as did also
