Yankee depredations in Eastern North Carolina. A gentleman who left South Mills, N. C., a few days since, informs us that on Sunday, the 20th inst., a party of some fifty Yankees visited that neighborhood, coming from Norfolk, and having with them half a dozen negro men in arms. These negroes, it was subsequently ascertained, had run away from that place some ten days previous, and had now come back after their wives and children. They succeeded in obtaining them, and during the night ab. W. was taken by his associates to the hotel, where he died before a physician could reach him. On the succeeding day a negro man was brought back by a gentleman who found him on the road with a severe, and probably fatal, gunshot wound through the abdomen. The stampede of negroes from Eastern North Carolina is so great that unless strong guerrilla parties are immediately formed and sent thither, it is thought that the country will be entirely drained of its slave population in a short time.
