New Bern (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 1
not more than four thousand had landed up to Monday evening. Neither cavalry or artillery had been disembarked up to that time. It was reported yesterday that five gunboats came up to West Point on Monday night. Of this, however, we have no confirmation. The main body of the enemy are at Gloucester Point, and a considerable force at Yorktown. The object of this expedition may be for the purpose of diverting attention from more important points, or the prelude of an attempted raid on an extensive scale, for the purpose of destroying property and cutting off communication, as we cannot arrive at the conclusion that they intend to make any serious demonstration on our lines below the city. Official intelligence of the evacuation of Washington, N. C., by the Federals, who retired on Newbern, has been received. As to further movements in that quarter we are not advised. All the information received from the Army of Northern Virginia will be found under our telegraphic head.

He seems to have been out-manœuvred. A letter dated at Knoxville, on the 17th ult., gives the following account of the failure: The Knoxville-Greenville Convention, of which so much has been said and written, has met and adjourned. Why it was known as the Knoxville-Greenville Convention was because, in the fall of 1861, a large number of the prominent men of East Tennessee met at Greenville, and drew up papers memorializing the Legislature to permit the separation of East Tennessee. This thing that body would not do. The loyal people, a few months ago, determined upon a resuscitation of the Greenville Convention, and appointed as the time of meeting the 12th inst.
