A correspondent of the Petersburg Express, writing from Washington, North Carolina, on the 21st, says:—”The citizens of our town were much aroused yesterday morning on hearing of the seizure of Fort Neil, near our place. On Saturday night, a number of our enterprising young men left this place to seize Fort Neil, which they did, and hoisted the Palmetto Flag over it. Fort Neil is a small, but strong little Fort, laying on Pamplico River, between this place and Pamplico Sound.”
