as at the Meherrin, and had to cross in a small boat ourselves, and swim our horses. Here a bit of good luck befell us—not much, but we were thankful for small favors. We met with a gentleman who had a sulky which he wanted to get to the town (Hertford) in which I lived. It must be borne in mind we were not cavalrymen, and yet we had been in the saddle seven or eight days, on the go all the time, were completely worn out, and had still before us about sixty miles to travel before reaching out me when I was several miles from home. He was hardly out of sight, when I heard in the direction I was going the booming of cannon, repeated at intervals. It occurred to me at once, that the firing was from the gunboats lying in the river at Hertford, and out of respect to President Lincoln.

In short, on the 4th of March a naval expedition dispersed some partisan bands in the bay of Pungo on the Pamlico River. The role imposed upon the navy was a difficult and dangerous one: it was required to put to sea in all kinds of weather, to navigate along a difficult coast, destitute of lighthouses, frequently occupied by the enemy, and to chase blockade-runners at

He would restore to the king's council the men of the great Whig families, who, like himself, had been driven from power, yet not as a party to triumph over the prerogative. The king preserved his self-possession, combated several of these demands, said now and then that his honor must be consulted, For the king's account of this interview to Grenville, in Grenville's Diary, 197, 199; to Hertford in Walpole's George III. i. 291; to Sandwich, in Sandwich to Bedford, and in Bedford to Neville, in Bedford Cor.

Beaufort, Pitt, Martin, Washington, Hertford, Pasquotank, and perhaps Camden and Currituck, are in mourning. How deeply do we sympathize with them. We learn that Beacon Island was evacuated on Saturday morning, and that the Federal fleet left Hatteras on Friday, bound southward. We simply give these particulars as we heard them, but there is still a mystery over this affair. We hear no mention made whatever of any attack of our infantry upon the infantry of the enemy.
