nt, every shot taking effect upon the fleeing ebony horsemen. At a swift run by sections, Branch's artillery kept shot and shell in their midst as long as the fleeing cavalry could be reached. The next important event in North Carolina was Gen. R. F. Hoke's capture of the town of Plymouth. This town had been very strongly fortified, especially on the land side. Forts Williams, Gray, Amory, Battery Worth and other defenses made an attack quite a formidable matter. It was held by Gen. H. W. Wessells, commanding a garrison of 2,834 men. General Hoke, who had been selected to lead this important expedition because the President knew his energy and activity, designed attacking Plymouth, and wished naval assistance. He rode up the river to inquire of Commander Cooke, who was building an ironclad at Edward's ferry on the Roanoke, when he could get the co-operation of the boat. At the first interview, Cooke said that it would be impossible for him to have the boat ready by the time s

On the 2d of February, General Martin made the attack successfully and captured the barracks, several guns, 70 or 80 prisoners, and many stores. This whole affair was well managed and well fought. Martin lost 7 men killed and 14 wounded. Gen. M. W.

ate was 19,998. Acting under General Lee's orders, General Pickett, on the 20th of January, set three columns in motion from Kinston to attack New Bern. General Barton with his own brigade, Kemper's brigade, part of Ransom's brigade, twelve pieces of artillery, and twelve companies of cavalry, was directed to cress the Trent and take the works of New Bern in reverse, and to prevent reinforcements reaching the town. Colonel Dearing was sent with a cavalry force to attack Fort Anderson, Barrington's ferry. General Pickett, with Hoke's brigade, three regiments of Corse's brigade, the Eighth and Fifty-first regiments of Clingman's brigade, and ten pieces of artillery, advanced on New Bern by the Dover road. General Pickett, in his official report, states his plan of operations as follows: Barton with his cavalry was to have cut the railroad and cross Brice's creek, taking the forts on the banks of the Neuse, and pass across the railroad bridge; effectually, should he only succeed

assistance. He rode up the river to inquire of Commander Cooke, who was building an ironclad at Edward's ferrye co-operation of the boat. At the first interview, Cooke said that it would be impossible for him to have thehat assurance. On the day set by General Hoke, Commander Cooke, true to his promise, started down the river, fplaced on board, and thus equipped the never-failing Cooke started. Naval history affords no such remarkable eminiscences of Confederate Navy. This tribute to Cooke is a just one. No boat could have been built under more difficulties than was the Albemarle, as Cooke named his new venture, and its construction shows the difficack was turtle-shaped and protected by 2-inch iron. Cooke had ransacked the whole country for iron, until, saye of Ransom, and one of Pickett's under Terry.

ermined will that mastered doubt, but not without some natural anxiety as to derangements that might occur from so heterogeneous a combination. The Albemarle was built in an open cornfield, of unseasoned timber. A simple blacksmith shop aided the mechanical part of her construction. Notwithstanding the difficulties of her construction, the vessel was, when finished, a formidable fighting machine. In the early hours of the 19th of April, she dropped down the river and passed the fort at Warren's neck, under a furious fire. The protection from the shield was so complete that the shot from the guns at Warren sounded to those on board, says Elliott, no louder than pebbles against a barrel. In the rear of Fort Williams, the Albemarle saw two Federal gunboats lashed together. These were the Southfield and the Miami, under the brilliant C. W. Flusser. Immediately the Albemarle dashed nine feet of her prow into the Southfield, delivering at the same time a broadside into the Miami,

The vessel soon worked herself free and followed the other retreating gunboats. Maffitt thinks that this brilliant naval success insured the triumph of General Hoke, for it gave him, on the water side, a vulnerable point of attack. General Hoke had invested the town with his own brigade, the brigade of Ransom, and one of Pickett's under Terry.
