orth Carolina now menaced by the Yankee forces that are striving to "possess the land." We have no late news here from the North Carolina coast. What I know of our army movements relative thereto, I will not state. It is not improbable that the enemy will shortly attack Roanoke Island, and if successful, which is by no means certain, an attempt will be made to take possession of Elizabeth City, and other small towns on the sounds and rivers. It is also believed by some persons that Burnside's intention is, if possible, to concentrate a large force in the neighborhood of Elizabeth City, and thence march towards Norfolk for the purpose of an attack in the rear. This, however, is very doubtful; and it is probable that the crippled fleet, with all its shivering Hessian troops, will accomplish but little more than the stealing of a few negroes, and the plundering at unprotected points of the barns, smoke-houses, and hen roosts, of the thrifty farmers in the productive section of C

As the rebels understand the game, they will doubtless go to work with some energy; but the

The Government has experienced great disappointment at the unfitness of the vessels lately purchased to swell the fleet of Burnside's great failure. The fact is attracting great attention among the people, and loud complaints are heard. The Herald says, this Burnside matter must be sifted. It is confident there is rottenness somewhere else than in the old hulks sent down Burnside matter must be sifted. It is confident there is rottenness somewhere else than in the old hulks sent down to crush the South. The great war-tax bill is being perfected in its details. The French frigate Fortune has arrived in Hampton Roads, and reports no fleet in the Roads. The New York Journal of Commerce says that the exciting foreign news gives room for grave solicitude for the future. The tone of the French news is more unfavorable to the United States than that from England. Another grand Federal expedition is fitting out at Cairo — destination unknown. The Federal wa
