or-general, to date from the capture
of Plymouth, N.C.

From the _Enquirer_, April 26th:

THE PLYMOUTH AFFAIR.--The Wilmington _Journal_, of
Saturday, says "our loss in killed and wounded is not large
considering the magnitude of the enterprise; but, as might have
been looked for from the character of the conflict, the works
having been stormed, a large proportion of the wounds are of a
desperate character." When a place is taken by storm, and there
is resistance, as in this case, the fighting is done hand to

inflicted in most cases are serious if not mortal. We learn that
some of our wounded who have been brought to Wilson, bear
evidence of the desperate character of the struggle whilst it
lasted. They are wounded in almost every imaginable way, and but
few of their hurts can be called slight.

From the _Dispatch_, May 2d, 1864.

A correspondent of the _Raleigh (N.C.) Confederate_, sends that
paper a history of the capture of Plymouth, which is very
interesting.

to take this stronghold. On Monday our artillery opened

away at each other incessantly; but beyond a little skirmishing
with the enemy and manoeuvering for position our infantry did
nothing. Toward evening, however, it became evident that
something was on foot; and Ransom's brigade, and the 8th N.C.
was drawn up in the woods facing the works on the Washington,
Lee's Mill and Bath roads. A heavy line of skirmishers was
thrown out under the command of Captain John Pegram, A.A.G., and
advancing rapidly with the peculiar gait of sharp shooters and
the yell with which our boys go to the charge, drove the enemy
back into his works, and approached within two hundred and fifty
yards of the fort, earnestly demanding to be led into the place.
Meanwhile Pegram's battery dashed forward at a run, supported by
the infantry, and unlimbering, devoted a fur
