They have the west side of the island and the eastern side of the mainland defended by heavy ordance, in order to prevent the passage of our gun-boats through Croatan Sound — the only communication for vessels with Albemarle Sound.--But there is no doubt that we shall soon have news of their being shelled out, as the gun-boats of the Union expedition, numbering seventeen, are most powerfully armed. Among other uld be hurried up. General Burnside's force, which is very numerous, was to have been landed on the lower end and east side of the island, under the guns of the war vessels.

Roanoke affair.news from Missouri&c, &c., &c. We are in possession of the New York Herald, of the 10th inst., and the Philadelphia Inquirer of the same date, and from them we make up the following interesting news summary: The Roanoke affair. Intelligence has reached us of the commencement of an attack on Roanoke Island, by Commodore Goldsborough, of the navy, on the morning of Friday, the 7th inst. The account comes through Norfolk and Fortrees Monroe, and is from the rebel General Ruger, commanding at Norfolk. He reports that the Union forces had been twice repulsed, but that fighting was going on when the courier left. Now, as the attack upon Roanoke island was to have been made by the Union gunboats, and a portion of our troops were only to be landed after the batteries had been silenced, we do not see how there could have been a repulse of our forces. The gunboats were all afloat, and could not be repulsed by the forts if the fight was going on at the last account

y found quarters had been built at the bridge and occupied by some troops, and where was also found a large quantity of army supplies, commissary stores, wagons, &c. The inhabitants were deserting their dwellings for miles around, and were fleeing in every direction. The bridge at Danville was partially disabled by the first gunboats which went up the river. Another of the plers was crippled so as to completely prevent the passage of trains. There were but eight guns captured by Hickey's cavalry and Colonel Logan, instead of fourteen. Nearly all the guns were spiked with telegraph wire, which can easily be removed. They are brass six-pounders, and in fine order. All the prisoners taken (about one hundred) were sent to Calro yesterday. The amount of property captured will exceed $1,000,000. Recounoisances have been made by Col.

s; but they took no notice of them, for reasons which were made obvious by the sequel Next they came in larger parties, and continued their labord under the shade of darknes. Emboldened by the supposed absence of vigilance in the Yankees and their own success, they continued the construction of the embryo fort yesterday. Now was the time and opportunity for our troops to pay the rebels the military compliment of martial honors — While the unfinished fort was yet unable to make any defence, Battery G, of Rhode Island, suddenly opened on it yesterday afternoon. It was crowded with rebel working partless at the time. Our artillery threw the ten and twelve-pound Parrott shells and balls into it with great precision, completely demolishing the fort and causing great consternation and terror among the astounded rebels. It is unnecessary to add that they hesitated not to run for their lives, which some of them were unable to carry off. A few harmless rifle shots were fired at our ar-
