n the North western part of the State. As these rumors became certainty, I made an effort to strengthen myself, first, by reinforcement, and secondly, by entrenchments, sufficient to with stand the very large force of the enemy. My orders to General Wise I send you copies of, and also copies of his replies. I failed in procuring reinforcements, but succeeded somewhat better in the construction of a temporary breastwork. At three o'clock in the evening of the 10th of September, the enemy, unddays before, and were for the first time under fire, behaved themselves in a manner worthy of all praise. I am very confident that I could have beaten the enemy and have marched directly to the Valley of Kanawha, if the reinforcements from Gen. Wise's column had come up when ordered, and the regiments from North Carolina and Georgia could have reached me before the close of the second days conflict. I cannot express the regret which I feel at the necessity over which I had no control, whi

[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Feb, 11. Accounts from North Carolina are conflicting. It seems entirely certain that Elizabeth City has been burned by the inhabitants, who are scattered about the country. It is doubtful, however, that the Yankees landed a large force after the burning and desertion of the town. The first account of our fleet was that the gun-boats had all been captured by the enemy; another, that the Confederate officers burned them; and it is stated this morning that five of our gun-boats were certainly captured by the Lincolnites, and that three of them have, thus far, escaped. Gen. Wise, I learn, has arrived at South Mills, near the Virginia line, and is slowly progressing towards this city. It is asserted that Capt. O. J. Wise is certainly among the killed, and also that he was dangerously wounded, but was not kil

Wise--two sergeants, one corporal, and two privates; the two pn by the inconsiderable force placed at the disposal of General Wise.

Funeral of Captain C. Jennings Wise. --All that was mortal of this lamented and gifted son of Virginia was committed to the earth on yesterday. Upright, high minded, and generous, he was loved by all who knew him, and idlozed by the members of the time bonored corps at whose hend he fell while gallantly repelling the attacks of a vandal foe. His poul is with Him who gave it; his memory with his corrowing countrymen. The funeral was appointed to take place at St. James Church at 11 o'clock yesterday. The military escort and public bodies, forming part of the procession, assembled on the Capitol Square at half-past 10 o'clock, about which hour the honorary members of the Blues and Masonic fraternity proceeded to the Confederate Senats Chamber and removed the remains to the hearse in front of the building. The coffin, which bore simply the inscription, "Captain Ob J. Wise, 46th Virginia Regiment," was covered by the flag of the Republic and wreaths of evergreens. A few minutes

Numerous prisoners were taken along the route, the most of whom were wounded and exhausted having fallen by the wayside. As we advanced on the road towards Nag's Head, several boat loads of rebels were observed retreating across Roanoke Sound towards the mainland. A small sloop and surf boat had just put off from shore, having thirty or forty persons on board among whom were Captains Smith and C. Jennings Wise, the latter mortally wounded. General Reno instantly ordered five companies of the Twenty-first Massachusetts to scour the beach to the right and left, and also commanded the rebel boats, to return or be fired into. They immediately came ashore and surrendered to Major Clark, A contraband gave notice that about this time that several rebels were in a house near by, and a guard having been, detailed, they were captured. The afternoon had not half passed, so the brigade halted

When the Zouaves had brought back the boats that were endeavoring to escape through Shallow Rock Bay, Wise, mortally wounded, was taken to the house of Wise, mortally wounded, was taken to the house of Mr. Samuel Jarvis, which had been converted into a hospital for the rebel wounded. He was shot in the arm, both legs, and mortally wounded in the left breast, the latter being the result of the Zouaves' fire. General Burnside shortly after visited Wise and assured him that everything due to his position as a wounded prisonerWise and assured him that everything due to his position as a wounded prisoner would be cheerfully accorded him. The wounded rebel was too low and weak to be conscious of the fact that the soldiers of the nation against which he had raised his treasonable hand were now his friends, ready to minister to him in his dying hour. The loss of the enemy is, without doubt, much below ours. They had their usual
