, I shall of course say but little now. That they will do their duty upon the battle field, no one dares to doubt. About thirty Federal gunboats are reported in Albemarle Sound, and several steamers of large size are among the vessels at Roanoke Island. The enemy have in their service men who are fully acquainted with the location of the towns, villages, rivers, roads, and swamps. But they are carefully watched, and it is very doubtful, with all the advantages they seem to possess, that ted up the Roanoke towards Weldon, for the purpose, of course, of getting possession of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad. The Confederate steamer Arrow arrived this morning from Currutuck, having communicated with a steamer sent down to Roanoke Island under a flag of truce. She brought up the bodies of Captain O. J. Wise, Lieut. Wm. Selden and Capt. Coles. Capt. Wise was pierced by three balls, and Lieut. Selden was shot through the head. The Yankees who saw Captain Wise during the fierc

The information of the enemy in our rear has inspired our people with vigilance, and a determination to resist his aggressive movements to the best advantage, and with every possible means. Nine of the Federal gunboats are reported over the bar at the mouth of North river, in Currituck county, North Carolina, and several of their side-whell gunboats passed into the mouth of the Albemarle and Chesapeake yesterday, and three of them came up the Canal sufficiently far to fire shot and shell among the Confederate forces at the Canal bridge. Active preparations are going on to give the Yankees a reception that will be honorable and creditable to the defenders of the soil.

. Wise was pierced by three balls, and Lieut. Selden was shot through the head. The Yankees who saw Captain Wise during the fierce and unequal contest, declare that he displayed a gallantry and valor, never surprised. Alas, that he has fallen in a contest not unequal. But, who has fallen more honorably, more nobly? Young Selden, too, died at his gun, while gallantly fighting the enemy that had gathered in so superior numbers upon our shores. Last night, when the steamer arrived at Currituck, Gen. Wise directed that the coffin containing the remains of his son be opened. Then, I learn from those who were present, a scene transpired that words cannot describe. The old hero bent over the body of his son, on whose pale face the full moon threw its light, kissed the cold brow many times, and exclaimed, in an agony of emotion: "O, my brave boy, you have died for me, you have died for me." That powerful old hero of Eastern Virginia, as famous for the generous impulses of his

disgradeful and infamous as would be such a sequel of the war, it is among the possitilities, and, if the war is short, it is probable as well as possible. If peace were declared to-morrow, unless there are stringent legislative enaciments to prevent it, there are men in every Southern community who would hurry on by the next train for Northern goods, and the first through cars from the Northern cities would bring Yankee drummers, with their boots yet wet with the mad of the Potomag or Roanoke Island, and the smell of blood fresh upon their garments.--Our own infant manufacturies would be nipped in the bad; home indastry and enterpelse of every kind strangled; Yankee shoes, clothes, carringes, agricultural implements, cotton and woolen goods, school books, lying histories and fifthy weeklies be again peddled at every counter. We commend this subject most earnestly to Congress. There are difficulaties and perplexities, we are aware, in establishing a system which shall prevent these
