d to Cairo this evening. On their way up they were fired at with small arms from Columbus and Chalk Bluffs, Kentucky. Colonel Hicks, of the Illinois Regiment, who was sent to arrange an exchange of prisoners, returned last night from Charleston, Missouri. The Confederates had but three Federal prisoners. It is reported that the Confederates have fallen back from Sikestown to Madrid. General Grant took command of the post to-day. The engagement at Hatteras Inlet. Commodore Stringham, who commanded the Federal fleet at Hatteras, has made his official report. It contains no facts additional to those already published. He concludes by saying: "I have naught but praise to accord to the officers, seamen and marines, and the officers and soldiers of the army who were present for their gallantry and cheerful devotion to duty and to their Government, the United States of America, which they all cheerfully and heartily serve."

sends word that he administered the oath to between two and three hundred persons in a single day. The steamer Pawnee still lies in the Inlet and the Susquehanna on the outside. The Susquehanna ran down to Ocracoke Inlet and found the fortifications there completely deserted. The Confederates had carried away their guns, and the white flag was everywhere exhibited. From the Hatteras squadron. The Boston Courier gives prominence to the following letter from an officer of Stringham's squadron. It presents the exploit in a new light and the captures in new figures: Off Hatteras Inlet. Thursday, August 29, 1861. * * * Well, we have taken Hatteras Inlet--two batteries, some fifteen guns — and Capt. Barron, (late of the Navy, who seceshed,) Major Andrews, and 610 men. It was done by the 10-inch guns of the squadron, which made the place too warm for them. Their guns were well served, and they, it appears, behaved well. A few shot struck us, but did no h

The South acknowledged a belligerent power. --Though the Lincoln Government still refuses to officially accord to the Confederate States their acknowledgment as a belligerent power, various military officers in the Federal service are continually doing so without being reprimanded in the slightest from headquarters at Washington. The Memphis Appeal thus sums up the instances: Hutler, when at Fortress Monroe, exchanged prisoners with Gen. Magruder. Col. Wallace, the abolition commander at Cape Girardeau, has within the past few days exchanged prisoners under a recognized flag of truce with Gen. Pillow, and Commodore Stringham accepted the capitulation of Fort Hatteras under the express stipulation to treat Capt. Barron and his garrison as prisoners of war, and as such award them all the usual courtesies appertaining to belligerents. Such a paltry dodge as this is unworthy even of the gorilla-concern over which Abe Lincoln presides.

Stringham and Butler. --The New York Herald insists that General Wool is entitled to the whole credit of the Hatteras affair, and adds: "As soon as it is accomplished the officer commanding the naval force and the officer commanding the land force hasten to their homes to receive ovations which properly belong to another." Stringham and Butler are fair specimens of the vanity, assurance and humbugging propensities of the mock heroes of the North. Nothing better can be expected of Butler; but Stringham, who is an old naval commander, ought to be ashamed of himself to permit his countrymen to glorify him, much less to run off in search of a glorification over such a victory as that at Hatteras. No one knows better than Stringham thStringham that the reduction of the sand-bank forts by an immensely superior force was simply owing to the fact that we had no guns of sufficient range to reach the fleet, whilst the fleet had guns that enabled it to take a position entirely free from danger, a

put it on, to see whether it conforms to the cerulean edict of that first-born offspring of the Sun and full brother of the Moon, Abraham Lincoln. We apprehend that this august potentate will enlarge the sphere of his crusade against colors till he has obliterated everything like variety from the universe, and reduced to a loyal monotony all the objects, animate and inanimate, of the heavens above and the waters beneath. Let him begin this good work at once. Let him commission Commodore Stringham to hunt up the shells of the ocean with their treasonable diversity of hues, and send Bomeastes Furioso Butler to arrest the rainbow for showing the tri-color. The rainbow, besides its gorgeous variety of hue, is also guilty of treason as an emblem of Peace. Every time that magnificent arch spans the azure firmament, it proclaims that the Great Monarch of the Universe has forgiven the Rebels who provoked his displeasure, and that there is Peace between God and the earth.

train, with the injunction not to return during the war. The cause of this treatment is understood to have been the numerous attempts made by him to stir up mutinles among the troops. Changes in the U. S. Navy Department. The Navy Department has recently made several important changes in the officers of the respective squadrons. Capt. Mervine retires as Flag-Officer in the Gulf, and Capt. McKean has been appointed in his place. Capt. Goldsborough has been appointed to succeed Capt. Stringham in the command of the Atlantic squadron, the latter having asked to be relieved. This squadron has been divided.-- Capt. Goldsborough commands the Northern division, on the coasts of Virginia and North Carolina, and Capt. DuPont appointed to the command of the Southern Atlantic squadron, embracing the coasts of South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. Iron-Glad Ships.

utler on a spree. --The Northern press is not half satisfied with the brilliant achievement of Gen. Butler and Commodore Stringham off Hatteras. It wants them to keep at it, and never stop to eat, drink, or rest, night or day, until the entire rthern papers discourses in the following amiable strain: What followed? "Did the intrepid Butler and the gallant Stringham" go on with the good work? Did they send their prisoners home and spread consternation along the coast? Did they strily had been living with him all summer at Fortress Monroe, in a nice yellow brick house, surrounded by pleasant trees.--Stringham, too, had a reception, and made a speech at Brooklyn. Could not anybody less than a Commodore have served as an escort for the high-toned chivalry who were made prisoners at Hatteras? We are glad to see that Stringham is again as far South as Fortress Monroe. It is possible that he may reach Hatteras in time to prevent the rebels from retaking the position and mo

ide the receiving ship Anacostia, under guard, where she will await the investigation into her case. The Reserve also brought up two contrabass, picked up along the river. The steamer went down again last evening and joined the flotilla. The steamer Mount Vernon arrived this morning from Old Point, with shell for the Arsenal and several sick gunmen from the blockading fleet, to be placed in the naval hospital. She reports all quiet at Fortress Monroe and along the Potomac. Com. Stringham had been superseded in command of the blockading fleet at Hampton Roads by Capt. Goldsborough, who entered upon his duties a day or two since. The President has appointed Col. E. D. Baker, of Oregon, now Colonel of the New York First California Regiment, and acting Brig. General, to be Major General of Volunteers. This forenoon, Major Gen. McClellan and staff, escorted by a squadron of cavalry, proceeded to the position of Major General McCall's division, where a grand review

"Ignorant" as "the lower orders" of our people may be; they quite understand that their Government can have no motive in acting on this case but to do what seems best for the country.
