Roanoxs Island, Feb U, '62. The followiug are extract* from a j»ri- " wate letter written by Mr. Josiah 1*. Craig, to a friend at tb^Court Heme. ,AI1 the parts of general interest are | gl*en ■: — We left Oarap Casey, at Meridian i IHII, oa Saturday the 3d day of Jaiiutc j r ry, and revved Annapolis the same day, j t We wore there pnt on board the ship Aao E. Thompson and remained there i • few days, when we were towed down ' * to Fortress Monroe to join the expedition, and on Sunday morning, the 12lh, the fleet made nil, which was the gran- j -(lest sight I ever viewed. There were j •bout 80 sail of oi and "28.1)00 "men, and with a fair wind we glided down the Chesapeake and went to hea. On Monday night at ionse< we dropped anchor i wader Cape Uatlcras Beach, and were compelled to lay there about ten days, *->wod throw overall the ship's ballast before we could get In over the bar ; our destination being to take Roanoke Itland. On the 1 9th a bqul camjt -triflT >q_ tow ns io, add our ship struck the bar ^ and we were now in great danger of be- j log lost- After thumping an hour and j a half, daring which tituo she was much j injured, the noble ship beat over, al- j though it was munh feared at times that I alt on board ' would sink to a watery | grave. Thtjfe were *00 on board, and | the light, when we were thus threatened r with deetruction, I cannot portray L . Men were crying for mercy to that Qod \ ■ . they bad so often offended. A part of j I the ship's stores bad to be thrown over-.; K- board before she got la Beep water. ! I * The bou again took us in tow and took | B . us up under the Tort, and on February : K 'fieo Peabody, and on the 5th wesUrted I , up the Sounds u> make Ihe attack. One

I of our picket boats raptured a pilot i • boat, and, with drawn pistol*, made the : men pilot sonfi of the fleet We had i ! to proceed veryliatni^utly, as the rebels : ; had obstructed Ihe channel by driving ; j piling toi sink oar boats'. On the night of the Gtli we camera sight of the 1*1.-11111, and oar gnn-bosu . took the advance itriline-of-baUln, and on llio morning of .the 7th, at 8* o'clock, ' the first gnn was fired and the bom- : bardmcnt began; our boats sending shot J and shell, doing" dreadful- iJork. In an hour after the bombardment began it was thought that the fort was on fire, - j but it proved to be f1m~barracks. Our i vessels kept up a constant firing, and it was returned with spirit by the rebels disnbling some of our guu boats, and causing them to haal off and repair. — j Tac enemy had three batteries, ony mouni.ing 12 32-pounders, another 9 and the other 4, making 25 guns in all. At dark the firing ceased and the laud forces began to land', nnd at about 10 o'ctoc k our® rigude, under (Jen. Hi no, . got ashore, nnd marched half n mile ' through mud and water knee deep' and - encamped in a corn-field, hi a hard rainIt rained nearly nil night. Wc had no blankets with as and were obliged to lay down ou the ground with nothing but our overcoats to cover u*. The en - tire Division had to encamp in •* like manner, and we all felt that we were in an eiiemy'4 land. Three of our pickets i were shot during the night. When mori niiig came wcltnd some sea Liscuit and I water for breakfast. Before it sra* fair i ly light it wa* evident the enemy were ; about us, as the signal gins were fired, • and wo were ordered to "fall lit," and - our skirmishers were thrown ont right and left. Tile fight -commenced. The ' New. York and Massachusetts regiments : were ordered up nnd.tjie battle begin in j earnest on both sides. The rebels were 1 posted in a dense swamp; waist baud i deep in water, having 3 24-pound g'tti*, | and from their battery, throwing grape, j canister and shell into our midst Tiit-y 1 i had cleared an open space where they ! intended for "their artillery to play upon I us; but for some cause there wa* no or- ! lillery there. Al 9 o'clock the X.' York ; Zouaves charged and drove them back l behind their battery, and at half-past 9 ! o'clock our Regiment— the 9th X. J. — were ordered up.; the Mass. boys took * j the left, the Zouaves the right, and the ! Jersey Boys (lie center. Company A. & ; J Co. H. making tho first advance, tad . J Co; M. and. Co.

The evacuation of the Battery was a - sadden end rapid rfetreat.

Many such there nre, who, by means o! their own fascinating smiles and apparently good humor, make pretentions of . friendship, while under if r.'oak, lliey i are giving vent to expressions and committing outrages upon a person's char- i , a rler, which ofleutimes arc believed aud do great injury. Are such dissembling friend* awnre that their conduct only brings disgust and contempt npqp them ? They ereu . complain of people being unsociable, unfriendly proud, haughty, and supporting dignity above their [posi tion- in life, rdlllicte are they, who always take advantage of any fumRiarity. and .secretly, . with blttgr lovettlvflL make it a car*c instead of a blessing, as liu-y claim it t& lie. Wi h such, la idi r and scandal are twin companion* - ,«• • - .Axicrru. the new governor 00 tennessee. The mission of Andrew JohnsOo, who goes forward ns the military governor of the Stote of Tennessee, is at least one tviyy of jcu.lt ing tlio Gorgion knot of 1 complications which- liavo molted from I the conquest of the rebels in that State, and will certainly follow their overthrow j in other quarters. It will prove to lie < | most effective. He wifl enter the State, 1 [of which he is the proud and peerless •' j Senator, not only as a brigadier general ' at the head of an overwhelming 'force, j ' but as the deliver of -his own people, ( long held in. chains by their oppressors. ^ His first step will be to seiza upon the , . machinery of the Stale government, to « ; carry oat the idea that no act of seccs- i si on can annihilate a State of this Uu- 1 ion, and to prepare the way for the elec- • ; lion of a Legislature, chosen by the loy- J a', people of Tennessee, who will co* operate with him in the great purpose , of constitutional obligation uud obe- , dience to ike Uv« passed jit pursuance , of the'Constitntion. All this has been ] < done by the Government, you will per ■ ceive, without llio aid of Congress, and • : it is a significant evidence of the justice nnd expediency of this policy that no j 1 portion of the ■Representatives and Sen-1 [ atom in Congress are found to •> ( it. If you have read the proceeding* . i of the Maryland and Kentucky Legisla- j j tares, "both of which are now in-aessioa, ; I and both <)f wh ch were chosen ujion the programme abbot to be put in opera- ' j lion in Tennessee, yon must havo obscrv- i ' ed that they have, in many oases, adop- ' • ted measures against the rebels even ; j more extremo than any which have , i awakened the indignation of rebel sym- | pathizers againtt the Federal Government; In Marylaud the coarse of the I President in arreiling the disaffected member* of the Legislature has receiv- . ed ibe approval of the present. In i Kentucky, a nnmber of the traitors in ; , the Legislature of that State have been i ! exptUrdUy a nearly unanimous yite, .

and it will be a comparatively easy task , for Andrew Johnson to put down the rebellion in Tennessee. He will not go . thoro for tbo purpose of forgiving ths lenders, or punishing the people. t With 1 bis strong views of the great issues in_»^vcd "jmrer present struggle, lie will hntinte qnd perfect such a system a* • ywill fore'v^i>4iaiii.sh Secession from the | Dtate.oCCarrolI and Jackson If the •aWjghj^y resist his sway, he will make *li\f wrk «|f them", with the jtid . of the armies of the U -putilic. linn* ' drcds aud thonsaiids of patriotic young v: 'i '«• attracted to his standard,' and of the most prominent' minds iu the State Tlio interests of men like Jonnsoil ore all against allowing Recession to resumo itacouU-ol in the- South. They j arc, in fact, wore directly concerned in I this than' those who "have immediate charge of the Government here, for, should they fail, their live*' will be the forfeit. ,V strong purty lias already been formed against the proposition of obliterating State Governments in any portion of the so called Confederacy. This party proceeds upon the con vie- ! t on ihalnny such scheme would he rev- • olutionarv. and would end hi the extinction dr the whole theory of onr republican fystom ; and should Andrew (now Governor General) Johnson triumph, almost irresistible strength will be given to (his 'organization. Wherever 'n Slate refuses to obey and submit to the uu ihoyity and arms of the Federal power, by declining to assist in the r. £torntiuu of the old machinery of the local government, n military ruler, like Johnson, Ins only to seize ftpon such loat-hinery to open courts, in accordance with State laws, to protect the Federal judges who may be sent into it, nnd, if uced he, to find his population among the soldiers of. the Republic gathered for Ins protection and support. I am not without hope that tuany of those who are now thinking and toiling to bring order out of the cEmS of antagonistic doctrines iu Congress will find most' of their doubts solved by the complete success of Andrew Johnson in ihe new spliete to which ho has been called by ibe I'residelit.
