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.

The possession of the island by the enemy would give him easy access to all of the above last named twelve counties by the navigable streams which penetrate them, and would place at his disposal Elizabeth City, Edenton, Hertford, Plymouth, Williamston, Windsor, and Murfreesboro'--all small, but, to our people, important towns.

of our foe. The two strategic points. But within these waters are two strategic points of immense value to us, and ought to be protected at all hazards. Newbern, one of these points, at the junction of the Neuse and Trent rivers, is about ninety miles by water from Hatteras, with no natural obstructions to navigation after passing the swash at Hatteras. The possession of Newbern simply as a depot, or for its destruction, would not be worth the hazard of taking it; but that point once gained places the enemy in the rear of Fort Macon and Beaufort harbor, and gives him control of the Atlantic Railroad. We are far from thinking, however, that much would be gained except its destruction, and possibly the capture of Fort Macon, even if he could take Newbern; and we have some hope, that after the long warning which the authorities have had, and the money and labor expended there, that the enemy would fail. But grant him the possession of that place, even with the immense force

island. It is capable of being made a very strong position, and under the control of a good engineer, furnished with ample means, such as its importance demands, might be made impregnable against any force which could be brought against it. The possession of the island by the enemy would give him easy access to all of the above last named twelve counties by the navigable streams which penetrate them, and would place at his disposal Elizabeth City, Edenton, Hertford, Plymouth, Williamston, Windsor, and Murfreesboro'--all small, but, to our people, important towns. Where Burnside will go. The idea, however, which seems to prevail at the North, and perhaps in some minds South, that Norfolk would be endangered by the Burnside fleet passing through the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, or the Dismal Swamp Canal, is simply preposterous. The narrow but deep streams through which the fleet must pass to enter the canals could so easily be closed up by the felling of timber as to cut
