The Committee on Address made a rcnoit.
The address, seta forth that the honor and
illory or the people- were sufficient reasons
lor urging tho re-election of Mr. Lincoln,
alioso administration has presented all the
jsoxrets tad resources of the Government in
-their Atront light. It was necessary for
the successful prosecution of tho war, that
there should be no change in tho Admiiiis
iKitiou, at IVashington, for any sjjjh change
would involve a change of measure :uid of
military ami civil lubois, which could only
result in ruin to tho national credit aud na
tional euu.?. If, on tho contrary, President
Lincoln js re-elected, it will in effect reaffirm
the principUs w hich he has upheld, ,ud the
rebellion will be crushed.
The address pays a high tribute to the
influence of the personal virtue of the Presi
dent, to bis firmness aad impartiality, and
coucludes with a statement that his success
in the next campaign w ill not bp a triumph
of party merely, btst tha triumph of a great
principle.
The resolution are five ia number. The

T-lie expedition which was sent out last
Week and destroyed Madison Court House,
met no rebels till about a half mile from
that town; a slight skirmish then took place,
in which tho rebuls lost Hve men and the
Union soldiers none. The enemy thcu re
turned to the Court House
The Star has tho following further par
ticulars. The rebels suddenly disappeared
but on our forces entering the town receiv,
ed a volley of musketry from the w indow
of the houses, nnd they were for a time coin
ptjlod to withdraw. The officers in com
mand of tho rcconnoitcring party ordered
another advance, when again o destructive
tire was opened on them from the houses,
j antl there being no other way of smoking
me re we is ntu outers were lssueit that the
town should be flrcd.
The torch was applied to a number of
houses affording cover for the enemy, where
upon tho later hastily decamned. lpavinff
, our foi-f i's in full possesion of the place.
i ne names, However, spread very rapidly,
and there being no means at hand whereby
the tire could be checked, a general con
flagration was the result, and in a short timo
almost the entire town was in ashes.
The act was certainly not a wanton ono
on the part of the I'uiou ollicqrs, but was
rendered 'necessary by the desperate act of
the rebels, who used the house ns a shelter
for the purpose of slaughtering our troops.
The cavalry expedition seut out from
Vienna on Thursday last under tho com
mand of Col. Lowell, returned to that place
yesterday after having visited Leesburg,
Itectortown and Uppervillc.
Near the hitter place, a portion of Moseby's
guerrilla band wits cncottuteied, when a
sharp fight ensued, which resulted in the
capture of 23 prisoners.
Colonel Lowell lost three men killed nnd
four wounded. Ho returned in safety to Vi
enna with tho prisoners captured from
Moseby, and three blockade runners, twenty
five horses, a largo (ptantity of wool, tobacco
nnd other contraband goods picked up on
the route.
TUn War In Vli-(inlti.
Vashinotox, May 3. The counsels of
the military authoritic are kept remarkably
secret. Heretofore, on the eve of a battle,
some idea could bo formed of the contem
plated movements, but now they are matters
of meres speculnt ion, both among prominent
civilians and even army officers. The ut
most confidence, however, is reposed in those
having the direct conduct of affairs, and due
credit is given for their wisdom iii prevent
ing premature disclosures.
The Navy Department has received co
pies of the Hichmond Examiner of the 2Sth
ult.
A Fredericksburg correspondent of tho
Examiner, writuig under date of April 27th,
says :
The opinion prevails in Washington that
Lee's army, in numerical strength, docs' not
exceed fifty thousand men. To oppose this
force, or rather for the purpose of attack,
Grant has required that tho Army of the
Potomac shall be rendered one hundred
thousand strong. To this end reinforce
ments to that army have been continually
passing up the Orange and Alexandria raii
w ay for the past ten days. Ten days hence
it will bo ready for the advance, which is
universally desired in the United'SUntes, from
Lincoln dowu, or up, whichever phrase you
prefer.
The commonly received opinion thnt
Grant will attack Leo in front nnd in his
fortifications is erroneous. He will seek to
turn the flank of our army, and his policy
is, evidently, to maintain his present posi
tion until his organization and equipment
are thoroughly accomplished, and then, by
suddenly unfolding his strategy, to surprise
Geu. Lee. He may march rapidly and with
out announcement cither to some point of
crossing on tho Hapidan, or Ilappahanuock,
or to Port Hepublic, thence to Staunton,
thence to Lynchburg. I think that an attempt
to Bank on the east more probable, his army
crossing at some of the lower fords of the
Happahannock. This, however, is all con
jecture, and but the echo of Washington
gossip.
A despatch to the Enquirer from Orange
Court House, under dnte of April 27, says
"that Avciill has gone to Southwest Vir
ginia on a raid, and that Meade is receiving
reinforcements over tue Alexnddria Rail
road." Tbe l-'ort I'illow MiinHtirre.
WAsifixoToN, May 2.
The sub-committee on tho conduct of tho
War, consisting of Senator Wade and Re
presentative Goosh, have returned from
Fort Piliow. Then took 57 depositions, nil
of which more than confirm the newspaper
accounts of the masacre. They say that it
would bo impossible to exaggerate tho
cruelties committed.
Among the witnesses who were examined
is the negro who was buried alive, and who
dug himself out of bis own grave. There
is no boubt of the fact that ono or more
persons were nailed through their flesh to
pieces of wood and their burned alive.
Xot only on tho day of the surrender were
such ficmiidi acts perpetrated, but on the
next day, in cold blood. The victims seen
by tho committee were most of them cut and
pierced in the face and eyes with bayonets
and swords, w hile other part of '.heir bodies
wre ftuiu4 tad disfigured either by sUcl
or lead.

KawtfRdttt April 24. The capture of Ply
mouth, including General WHssei.s and hi
command) is confirmed. Nothing is known
her of the movements of tho Rebels; but it
is reported that they have gono to Virginia.
Should they attack Little Washington or
Is'cwberu, their punishment would be fearful.
The success ol the Rebels at Plymouth
will not compensate them for the loss they
sustained. From all accounts General Wna
rki.s and his little band of fifteen hundred
veterans fought like , heroes for four days
nnd nights, leaving in every street heaps of
Rebel dead .which they admit will number
seventeen hundred. We hear all sorts of re-
Sorts in regarel to the Rebel Tarn on the
euso River, above the city.
1 lie .Newborn 1 tmn ot t tic 27th inst
anr
that on Friday last, April 22d!a large Rebel
force appeared in front of Liltlo Washing-
ton, but tlieir lines were deserted, nnd it, is
said a vigorous stampede toward Richmond
commenced.
A military gentleman direct from Xew
bern, 27th inst.. furnishes the following ad
ditional particulars from North Carolina:
It appears that the Rebel ram liuanokr,
w hich sunk some of our best gun-hunts, nnd
it ...
which nssisted so materially in c.ipturing
Plymouth, was injured in the tight, but us . Stone are passengers by the steamer Mem
soon s she is prepared, which will not take i phis, from New Orleans. The former is
long, the enemy say that they will assert j rapidly recovering from his wound. His
their authority over tho rivers anel sounds
of North Carolina, including all the towns !'"' tlie responsibility of thu disaster result
now in our possession. They expert to act j 'J'3 , f'r"' thu disposition of our forces at
in connection with their other rani on the ; Sabine Cross Roads. He further states that
Neuse River, which is reported ready to General Stone has endeared himself to the
move down on Newbern.
The Newbern Timet of the 27th inst. con-
tains the following additional particulars of
the capture of Plymouth:
"The Reliel force was tinder the command
of Brigadier General Hokk, and was much
larger than we supposed. It must have
nmounieet to at least twenty thousand men.
1 he Rebel cavalry was turner the command
of Briuadier-General Ransom. The first at-
tack was made ou Fort Grav, which was
situated about ono mile from the town, ou
me jtoanoKo JJiver. l lie Kebel l-atterv
which commanded this fort, it is said, was
planted on Polk's Island, about a miiu dis-
tnnt.
"On Wednesday morning the Rebels pre
pared to storm our works in Plvmouth
nicy accoreungiy mtiescu ineir lorccs ami
prce-ipiiaeeei inem upon rort esseis. uni
tery Worth, Fort Gray and Fort Williams.
These place were taken iu detail, and after
several repulses, were finally captured. Rut
even then, it is said that General Wksski.s
still held out, and fought the Rebels in the
streets of Plymouth, throwing up rifle-pits
for the protection of his men. ami was only
overpowered by sheer force of numbers, be- j Clevehiuel to Chattanooga, and tho facili ty
ing nearly 'twenty Rebels to one Federal i w ith w hich reinforcements can lie thrown
soldier
"It is also said that General Wessei.s pul
led off his coat and went into the work
himself with the most indomitable enertrv.
throwing hand grenades. On the surrender
or the plucc the colored soldiers ami Second I
Loyal North Carolina stampeded for the I
swamps. Meist of the negroes, we regret to j
hear, are said to have been massacred. Thu j
comduct of tho Rebel soldiery or the ollicers,
or both, is saiel to have been barbarous in
the extnne, and that they even went so far i
as to threaten personal violence to the gal- I
lant olel soldier who had commanded for so I
nobly punishing them. It is reported that i
the Rebel loss was between sixteen hundred
and two thousand killed and wounth'd, ,
while .our losss was comparatively small.
All honor to the heroes of Plymouth. i
"The sword, sash aiul belt pteseuted to ,
General Wekski. by his veteran brigade were
not captured. They were deposited by him !
with General Peck for s.tfe keeping, aud i
are here iu Newbern. Some twenty colored '
soldiers, recruited at Plymouth escaped
from he 10 at the time of t lie surrender, mid i
and reached here on Sunday morning. j
"The follow ing members of company K,
Second North Carolina Union Volunteers, j
also escaped from the enemy at the siir- i
render oi I'lytuout n, anel iiave reaciu-d our
lines safely, viz: Jkhm: HoaoAitn, Natiia-

"The 'ram' still lies in Roanoke River,
prcparcel to ram anything that attempts to
enter the river. We venture to predict that
rum w ill not be the e long.
".Most of the citizens have left Plymouth
for Roanoke Island."'
The Tinut remarks editorial!):
"The past two months have left impres
sions on the minds of thousamls of people
in Eastern North Carolina, which long years
to come will scaiccly efface. These" two
months encompass a period of deep anxiety,
naturally produced by puling cvritls, and
our close proximity to our Rebel enemies.
Ever since the formidably Confederate raid
on the first of Frbrtmry last, there has been
at intervals, the clearest evidence of a de
termination on the part of the enemy to re-
take Eastern North Carolina. Time and j
again the most positive testimony has come t
wiihin our lines that at least two irod-clad j
rams were preparing by the enemy on the
Neuse auc Roanoke livers, with u view of j
decending the samu and milking an attack J
whenever circumstances seemeel to indicate !
a favorable moment.
"The fact that these iron clads were vigo
rously preparing was published in the most
conspicuous manner in the dispatches sent j
to the Associated Pre-ss, nnd other rep at el I
warnings. There seems to have bee n at tho j
North nothing but doubt anil distrust on

to have been treated as fai'iuations too lla-
grant to require a moment attcntbin, nnd
the devoted town of Plymouth and this city
have been left to meet the onset as best they
could.
"The thrilling events of the past w eek
have furnished the most overwhelming testi
mony that the views entertained la-re by
General Pkck and other vigilant, intelligent
officers, a to the designs of the en-iny, have
been well and completely founded."
