Commander James W Cooks.

--The Wilmington Journal says that this officer, who, with the ram Albemarle, made such short work with the Yankee gunboats of Plymouth, is a native of North Carolina, entered the United States navy in 1828, married and in Virginia, resigned his commission on the secession of Virginia, offered his services to Virginia, was appointed in her navy, and subsequently in the navies of North Carolina and of the Confederacy; acted with great gallantry in the naval fight near Elizabeth City in 1862, superintended the construction of the Albemarle, and was placed in command of her. We agree with the Journal that be has earned promotion, which he will doubtless receive.
