The G'oldshoro State Journal gives the an ( nexed. account of the capture of Plymouth by the Federals: On thd>evening of Oct. 28th, Gen. Baker, *' commanding this Department, received inf>nnation by telegraph, that the eneiny had succeed . cd in surprising and destroying the gunboat 1 Albemarle near her wharf at Plymouth. Gen. | "Baker, accompanied by his personal staff, im- ' , mediately, left Goldsboro for Plymouth, at which place he arrived on the afternoon of the 30th in the midst of a fierce bombardment of the town froni the fleet of gun-boats which had 1 stationed themselves in the middle of the liver 1 out of sight of our batteries.. ' 1 From their concealment the enemy.kept up I ' .a continual shower of canister and,shell on the j 1 devoted town. . . II Finding all tJicir attempts to sail r.p to Ply- J j mouth direct, foiled by the stout resistance from | i the batteries un^er command of Colonel Whit- J ford, the enemy retired and ascended Middle \ River. There they met obstructions which t they soon removed, and re-entering the Roan- ! c oke from this direction they Attacked the town I t < in reverse. General Raker attempted to pre j \ vent this by throwing out sharpshooters, but ( t owing to the exceedingly heavy fire of the ! , . gunboats and the acduiacy of their fire these ' t were driven back ; and the eiy-iny finding no ; { opposition they ascended the Roanoke and ; came down upon the town. j ^ The first or upper fort was manned l?v ibo ! ] crew of the Albemarle. .This the gunlfnats j ^ sailed past, though several times struck bv the , shots.-from its guns, the damage not appearing ; to be "material. The ileet then paid their spe. ial j 1 respects to Fort Jones, where they succeeded in ! . dismounting all the guns and exploding the j 1 magazine. Meantime the enemy threw an oc- j casional spitclul shell or hot shot over into the j1 town, which, caused several of the buildings to I fire. At this juncture, in the midst of the con- j 1 fiagratiou of the town, the neoessavv evae.ua- !f tion of the several forts, and the landing: of the ' 1 enemy, General Bailor issued his orders to 1 blow up the magazine and withdraw the garri- 1 son. i The mynoMivre of falling back whs clone with I sfrch perfect order that nothing of any value fell into the hands of the enemy with the ex- 1 ception of two guns belonging to Lee's battery, i the hordes to'which had all been killed. The 1 total loss in killed, wounded and taken prison- t crs will not exceed twenty-live or thirty men. . ^ General Baker has fallen back only to James- , ville and seems determined to dispute, every ! , foot* of ground around Plymouth, lie having 1 t dec.idcd not to evacuate Washington. Thus , ended the eventful affair, though sad in its resuite to tho Eastern part of our State, its defence under such .forbidding circumstances forms another brilliant, episode of gallantry in the history of-this State.' 1 **7.. " WHAT Till? V?AR HAS ItEVEALED.? ( Hlicial ! documents from the "War office,at Washington fchow that the Yankee Government has called T into the field, from first to last, over three mil* lions of men. They have, besides, some six . hundred vessels of war, equivalent, we should think, in what they have done and what thry j 1 have prevented us from doing, .to a mijliofi 1 more of men. Query?what has heroine of all 1 these men ? Echo answers: What ? , The steamer Marmora was fired into at Prai- 1 rie Landing,on the White Kivor, and followed, ! firing five or six miles. One of her officers and 1 , fifteen negro-soldiers were killed and a number . ( wounded. -4 * ?^r?n?cT?r i rgtmtirwan? u-w.uj. -nam* wctf [fou the camden i \il\* .jotrnw i..] Mr. Editor;?Prominent it voi'n editorial column ! * I of the 9th instant, tln-re was a enmumnir; lion in ruler- j ence to a trial, of a slave "before a.Jury I'freeholders, ' on this 7th of November, 1801."' The object of this j communication is to publish, approve and endorse the ! following protest; "Wo beg leave to enter oiir protest, igainsl such trivial eases beinglbrought before a Jury, when they van he settled by owners of slaves at home, without calling men from their business uselessly." 1 Thus, Mr. Editor,court of Magistrate aud freeholders, constituted, in the words of the Iftw, "for the trial of small and nienn causes." finding it inconvenient to cave their "business" to discharge a duty required of them by the-lawk of their country,-have seen tit to de" putt from the record and to rebuke and arraign before he bar of public opinion oho of our oldest and most resnectanlo uii! /??!< .? ?. ....in v mi uiu uisn ici, a son or a I Revolutionary hern, having himself borne amis in tlie | service of his country, having spent neatly all of his active iif?* in civil office in his nativeDistrct, and now. at three score and ten, has his only grown hmis, two, zealously serving in the armies of the Confederacy. Wfth.the finding and sentence of the court, however absurd, *1 should have had nothing to do; but as the aourt itself has chosen to open and go behind the record, f choose to cuter and anaign in turn them and .heir protest. The gcntlenidn thus arraigned lives on a very public road near town ; he lias in these frying times cinfca- i voted to eko out tho support of a hirge and helpless j hintlv l>v- ruictn.r t.n. a..i_ j ,v ..h ...o un ! snppiy 01 meal; iila business :alls liim from lioine during Vlie most of the day, and us unprotected home litis had stolen from it since the war began sixteen head of lieel cattle and over thirty logs. During the year ISM lie was robbed of twepty vi.ling hogs, and as the necessary result the larger notion of his salary for this year has been expended n procuring meat lor his family. During the present 'till he litis had ten hogs stolen from him, nine ot them vhile his eldest son Jvns lying trembling between life >nd death from a wound received in the battles of his :<juntry; and when, forsooth, at last he detects y thief in he very ael, and, according to the provisions of the aw, brings tho culprit before a courr,' that court sendices the thief to receive ' twenty-live lashes," "protests aeainst such trivial eases," aiid fr.-tn the irrita ion exhibited at the "expense to the t-'tnto," the saeriiee of business, annoyance, Ac., I doubt not they leil Ini; the prosecutor, and not the thief, was the party via) had committed an outrage.

What example ,ho court sat for the consideration of our thieves, may >o deduced f out the fact that the very night after .heir''protest"'was'published, a house in this town ,vas bvokon open nud all the meat possessed by the amily stolon. The courts of Mngislintos and freoholdeis have advertised tVc tliicves, with words of tender sympathy, that the price to he paid for stealing a hog is twentyjvc lashes, and thes m" r Kiihn?r, in broad day, the !<iw of a lone widow- m* ovejv sm is in tin- ;m>o ?mill tlio result nuo ! i *:*.1| : ? d. /. it i com- | nun -jts ci'inu ii...- n \v s i ('conic more so, rvlien thus fostered and nertui't- <:.liu-ii [ :is it now is o raise atofck, it will bee ine impossible; and instead of j *OJ*?rtiiifjr t<> the conns of the e uulry, our .ati/aus nust lake the law into their own hands, and shoot lown the thieves, whom courts encourage.

A Yankee paper, speaking of the way in which the,elections in the North have beencontrolled, says : The informal votes taken by soldiers and* others, expressing their Presidential preferences, show such large majorities for McClcllaa that the. Government officials have begun to issue orders against any More*such votes being tivkeu. The military eofnmandanl at Alexandria', only six miles from Washington, wherd' there are many ?pldiors stationed, has started this rtew movement for preventing these informal ballots, either 'of soldiers or citizens, and has issued a prohibitory order. This is but mo beginning; and we shall probably see siniifcir orders issued where soldiers are stationed indifferent pfli5s of the country.
