Not captured.
--In the Yankee reports of the Capture of Roanoke Island, they reported as among the prisoners captured. Capt. Godwin and his men of North Carolina. In contradiction of their statements, we copy the following paragraph from the Wilmington journal, of the 22d inst:‘ We learn that Capt. Godwin, of Robeson county, in this State, the commander of one of the companies in the State regiment. (Col Jordan's) states that his company was stationed during the fight at Roanoke, on what was known as the Floating Battery near to the main land of Tyrrell county, Sound. He made his escape with so 80 out of 101 men, of which his company consisted.--He also adds, as we learn, that about 200 men of the 11th were on furlough, all of the 200 captured, thus making the taken. These 400, we believe, are to form in a battalion for immediate service.
Capt. Godwin naturally feels inclined to doubt the accuracy of the Northern statement that includes him in the list of prisoners.
