idual good conduct I witnessed, but cannot give names, as the men were mostly strangers to me. Several of the batteries are much in need of men; there is a good deal of sickness amongst them, though generally not of a serious nature. I have directed the Captains of batteries, in need of men, to write the officers in charge of conscripts of their respective States, and ask them to forward the number of conscripts necessary to fill up their batteries. General Holmes has recommended that Cohoon's battalion, which has about one hundred and twenty-five effective men, partly from Virginia and partly from North Carolina, be disbanded as an infantry battalion, and the men assigned to the batteries of this division. If his recommendation should be complied with, this number would just about supply us. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, James Deshler, Colonel and Chief of Artillery, Dept. N. C.

ry, under command of Colonel Samuel M. Wilson. July 20th, it was ordered by Lieutenant-Colonel W. F. Neimeyer, 61st Virginia Infantry, to report to the headquarters at Dunn's Hill, and was designated Company I in the regiment. About this time Cohoon's Battalion of Virginia Volunteers was disbanded, and the men of conscript age in Captain Max Herbert's command were assigned to the company. By command of Brigadier-General S. G. French, dated August 28, 1862, all men in Captain McAlpine's Company, formerly of Captain Herbert's Company, Lieutenant-Colonel Cohoon's Battalion, will be promptly returned to Captain Herbert. The last of August, 1862, the company was ordered to Brook Turnpike, near Richmond, and in September to Rapidan River, Orange and Alexander Railroad, and there performed fatigue duty at Bristoe Station, some distance up the road, in the removal of burnt cars, &c. It thus saved an immense amount of property. On September 29, 1862, the enemy advanced, and a part

Fatal affray in Elizabeth city --The municipal election at Elizabeth City, N. C., on Monday last, resulted in the choice of Dr. Rufus K. Speed over Mr. Cohoon, the present incumbent of the Mayoralty. The election was hotly contested, and was marked by a fatal affray at the polis, the following particulars of which were furnished to the Norfolk Herald by a correspondent. The Messrs. Pooles are both young men and natives of Baltimore: About 12 o'clock M., between Messrs. John W. and Walter C. Poole, and Julius C. Dashiell and Henry Culpeper and others, revolvers were freely used-seven or eight shots being fired, and causing a general stampede of persons around and near the polls. Culpeper received a mortal wound, the ball entering near the centre of his forehead and perforating the brain. Two balls passed through his hat. John W. Poole was shot at by Culpeper, and so closely that the powder took effect in his face. W. C. Poole was cut at by some one with a knife, rippin

about 20 miles. When visited about a month since, by the writer of this, there were only eight thirty-two's mounted, though preparations were then being made to place some guns of a larger range and larger calibre in position. It was then commanded by Major Andrews, of Goldsborough, N. C., and garrisoned by two companies from the county of Martin and one from the county of Pasquotank, making in all about three hundred men. Among the officers stationed there, were Captains Clemmons, Lamb and Cohoon; Lieuts. Citizen, Biggs. (son of Judge Biggs,) and Brothers; Col. Thompson, of the Engineers, (the constructor of the fort.) and Dr. Brown, late of the United States Navy,--all of whom, with the exception of Lieut. Citizen, have been taken prisoners. At that time Col. Martin was stationed at Fort Oregon, about forty miles distant, and I sincerely hope that he was not present at the time of the attack, as the State can ill-afford to lose the services of so admirable an officer.

The Federals assured the citizens of Edenton that they had not come to rob or harass them; but while the officers were giving those assurances to the people, the soldiers were filling their gunboats with cotton found on the wharf. Elizabeth City is partially deserted by the Federals. The latest information from Winton reports that nothing had been seen there of the Federal gunboats which started up the Chowan river from Edenton. They were, perhaps, only reconnoitering. Dr. Cohoon, a wealthy citizen of Elizabeth City, is now at Suffolk, a refuges. He remained there until the enemy had possession of Elizabeth City, and, although invited back and assured that he would not be harmed, he was not disposed to trust them. The Rev Shadrach Warrell, of Gatesville, had a cargo of corn captured in Albemarle Sound. Mr. Elliott saved 79,000 pounds of Government pork, which was at Hertford. A large number of young ladies from Murfreesboro' College have reached Suf

tpeter Shipmentts from Calcutta. Boston, Feb. 21. --A Calcutta letter of the 4th ultimo says that the ship Daring, for Boston, and the bark Patmos, for New York, with cargoes of saltpetre, were ordered to discharge it. The letter adds:--The ships Sarah Newman and Art Union, for Boston, and the bark Lillie, for New York, now going down the river with saltpetre on board, will also be ordered back for the same purpose. Conviction of a Murderer. Boston, Feb. 21. --The trial of Alvin Finch at East Cambridge, for murdering Mrs. Cohoon and daughter, resulted in a verdict of guilty. A new trial is proposed on the ground that Finch did not commit the murder from delirium tremens, but under defined insanity. Illness of Secretary Stanton. Washington, Feb. 21. --Secretary Stanton had another attack of vertigo last night, superinduced by his unremitting attention to the business of the War Department. He was unable to receive visitors on business to-day.

everal other commissioned officers. One Lieutenant Colonel was killed, and another died of his wounds on Saturday. The prisoners arrived in Richmond yesterday, about 11 o'clock, by the York River train. They were a dirty, ragged looking set, their whole external appearance showing the effects of a disastrous campaign. None of our men were taken prisoners, and our loss in killed and wounded is comparatively small. Among the killed are Privates Lueius Davis, Jr., Grey, John B. Wagner, Cohoon, and Lieut. Baker, of the 10th Virginia; Capts. Dettor and Newham, of the same regiment, wounded; and Private Whitlock, of the 3d Virginia, mortally wounded. The location of this fight is on the Hopewell and Samaria Church road, in Charles City county. The Yankees had commenced building huts of brushwood, and apparently contemplated remaining some time in the neighborhood. Citizens state that there was one negro regiment among the enemy's forces. They did not approach near enough for
