Nzweianr, N. C., Feb. 9.—The body of
Captain Westervelt, of the late gunboat Un

bullet through his head, which confirms the
rePiirt that he resisted to the last.
The firemen, together with all the citizens
fropil.B to 50 years.of age, are under orders to
be ready at a moment's notice to meet the en
emy, who are said to be massing a large force
for a final atttempt to repossess Newbern,
Plymouth acid !Washington.
The attack will be of the most formidable
character, and may take place at any mo
ment.
The repoitithat a large float of gunboats
are on the way here, accompanied with re
inforcements for our army, has encouraged all
with the belief that with this aid we can resist
successfully any efforts made to capture these
important points.
