The telegraph, this morning, brings us news that will send the blood of the patriot heart bounding through every vein in his body. As the Richmond Examiner says: “It is a repetition of the Hatteras affair on a large scale.” Our dispatches received at the time of writing this do not give the number of Federal troops killed and wounded, but we presume it will be insignificant compared with that of the rebels, although they fought well for men engaged in a bad cause.
The towns of Elizabeth City and Edenton, mentioned in the dispatches are both on the north side of Albemarle Sound, the former on the arm jutting up into Pasquotank county, and the other in Chowan Co., N.C.
