Beacon Island and Oregon fortifications had fallen in the hands of the enemy and that Portsmouth had been burned. This report, however, was discredited. Later in the day the garrison, all except eight or ten, from Beacon Island arrived here, having abandoned the place from a sense of inability to hold it, who report that the citizens had nearly all left the town of Portsmouth, but did not confirm the report of the burning, or its occupation by the Federals. Our patriotic citizen, Henry A. Brown, remained at Beacon Island in company with one or two white men and five or six negroes, and avowed that, as he had been the first to go there to superintend the construction of the fortification, he would not leave it until he had spiked the guns and blown it up so as to make it worthless to the enemy. He kept a yawl boat, and when he has completed the work of destruction intends to row himself away at his leisure. Nothing further has been learned of the fate of Hatteras or Oregon
