From Norfolk. the latest from North Carolina--frigates in Huston Roads, &c. [Special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Feb. 18th, 1862. Notwithstanding the exciting news recently received from Roanoke Island, and the defeat of the comparatively small number of Confederate troops there by a fleet of gunboats and a large and well drilled army, the principal subject of interest here now is the battle at Fort Donelson. Much anxiety is felt with regard to the result of that important engagement. May it be glorious for the sons of freedom. It is stated, by persons recently from North Carolina, that there are no Yankee troops at or near Curritax Court-House. Some of the inhabitant left their homes on hearing of the approach of the enemy, but no person had been in the neighborhood referred to.

additional particulars of the Roanoke fight — operations of our fleet. Norfolk, Feb. 18th, 1862. From a gentleman who participated in the late action of our little fleet under Com. Lynch, I glean some interesting particulars, which I hasten to spread before your readers. The point to which the enemy mainly directed his fire was near the South end of the island, where the Sound is about three and three-quarter miles wide. A row of piles had been driven and extended within three-quarters of a mile of Roanoke Island, and about one mile and a half of Croatian, which is opposite. On Thursday, about daylight, a large fleet of vessels was seen below Roanoke marshes, about ten miles to the South of the island, where it remained all day, owing to the very heavy fog and rain which prevailed. Friday, the weather being clear, the fleet, drawn up in line of battle, advanced, and at precisely 10.15 A. M. opened fire on the little squadron under Com. Lynch, which

twelve months of volunteered service will soon have expired, let the same spirit of enthusiasm beam in your faces and glow within your hearts that was so manifest ten months ago. Mothers and sisters glory in the dear ones who have left them for the battle-field, and well they know the heroism of those manly hearts who have stood unclinched before the sound of musketry and the booming of cannon at Bethel, at Manassas, at Bull Run, at Leesburg, and at every place where they might meet the intruders upon proud Virginia's soil; and such a thought as that of their not re-enlisting — be it for a service of ten years, or until every frace of the enemy has vanished — would seem an insult to the heart of any daughter of Virginia. I have brothers in the army, and we all have; but we would not consider the sacrifice too great to yield them, though our heart's dearest treasures, as victims to secure the freedom of our glorious Southern Confederacy. Carrie. Gordonsville, Feb. 18, 1862.
