n. Elizabeth City (only partially burned) and Edenton have fallen into the hands of the vandals. Plymouth, also, it is reported, is taken; and it is expected that they will proceed up the Roanoke towards Weldon, for the purpose, of course, of getting possession of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad.
