[Inclosure No. 1.]

GREENVILLE, N. C., April 3, 1862.

Major General T. H. HOLMES,

Commanding Department of North Carolina.

SIR: I send you with this dispatch Isaiah Respass, mayor of Washington, who has been arrested by a detachment of Major Walker's cavalry under orders from Brigadier-General Ransom to arrest him and under your own order to arrest all suspicious persons. I have heretofore written you a full account of his trip to New Berne and have received only this additional: Colonel S. T. Carrow, of the militia, Joseph Potts, I. Respass, B. F. Havers and James R. Grist went on board a Yankee ship at Washington and drank with the officers. Captain Murray, commanding the ship, gave this toast: "Here is to the reconstruction of the Federal Union, a plantation in Georgia and 100 negroes, with a summer residence in North Carolina," which they all drank. Colonel Carrow, commanding the militia, dined with them. This I have from an eye-witness and is true. I deem it best to forward Respass directly across to you, rather than by the railroad via Tarborough and Rocky Mount.

Very respectfully, yours, as ever,

W. S. G. ANDREWS,

Captain, Tenth North Carolina Artillery, Commanding.
