Elizabeth City.
From a gentlemen just from Elizabeth City, we learn that the Enemy has not yet attempted to occupy the town, but that they have frequently threatened to destroy it.--Three gun-boats have been anchored in the river, near the point where the small battery was placed. The men are allowed to go ashore, about a mile below the town, and for some time have been guilty of daily outrages upon the farmers living in the vicinity, killing their stock and stealing everything that comes within reach. No kind of private property is respected. The pickets of the 3rd Georgia regiment are stationed in the town, and are ordered to fire upon the Yankees if they attempt to enter it. In return, the Yankees threaten if a single man is fired on, the town will be immediately destroyed. Nearly all the inhabitants have left. Our sick and wounded have been removed to Norfolk.
