The enemy at Edenton. A special train of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad arrived in Portsmouth yesterday, about one o'clock. Information was brought that the enemy had entered Edenton and taken possession. This news was communicated through Dr. Warren, of Edenton to the people of Suffolk, and forwarded by them to us. We have received no confirmation as yet of the statement, and it may be that the intelligence is premature.

who knew of a landing place on the march that others were ignorant of, deserted, went over to the enemy and piloted them into the landing, after giving them all the information about our forces and fortifications. It appears that Colonel Shaw got wind of his intended desertion, and told him that if he attempted to desert be would blow him out of the water; but Doe afterwards got a chance and made his escape, and in consequence of that escape we have this terrible disaster. From Elizabeth city. The report of the burning of Elizabeth City and its capture by the Federalists is fully confirmed. The town was attacked on Monday morning about 8 o'clock, and was set on fire and evacuated after a fight of about a couple of hours' duration. The torch was applied by the patriotic citizens themselves, and although the destruction was only partial, yet a sufficient display of self-sacrifice has been made by these gallant Carolinians to satisfy the enemy that they are fighting a peop

Think of our little Spartan band opposing overwhelming odds; think of the tenacity with which they stood to their battery, never leaving it until the overwhelming force of the enemy, compelled them to retreat; witness the courage and intrepid bravery with which they encountered the foe while on the field. Had we been reinforced by three regiments the enemy must have been whipped. Three times were the New York Zouaves repulsed, driven in the water, and nearly drowned. Lieut. Buell, at Old Point, on receiving the news that one thousand of the Yankees had been killed, replied, he did not care a d.--n how many were killed, so they won the day.

After the removal of Col. Wright's Georgia regiment from the Island, Col. Jordan's regiment was sent there from Fort Hill. At the time of the battle, owing to sickness and other causes, it could muster only about 400 or 500 effective men, and they were armed with the old flint-lock musket. Besides these there were some 200 of the 17th regiment, (Col Martin's) the remnant that were on furlough at the time of the taking of Hatteras. To these were added reinforcements from Gen. Wise's Legion, about the time the battle commenced, making about 2,300 or 2,500. Who was in command, as yet we have no means of
