The Daily Dispatch: August 31, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
The war News. The city was considerably excited yesterday by a report that the expedition which sailed southward from Fortress Monroe on Monday last, under command of Gen. B. F. Butler, had attacked and captured Fort Hatteras, on the North Carolina coast. The authority for this report was the subjoined statement in the columns of the Petersburg Express, of yesterday: We learn from a source every way reliable that at an early hour Thursday morning it became evident to the small Confederate force stationed at Fort Hatteras, on the coast of North Carolina, that the fleet, which was first discovered off Hatteras Tuesday evening, contemplated an attack at that point. About half-past 9 o'clock the powerful vessels opened fire on the Fort. The fire was vigorously returned, but after twenty rounds from the Fort the ammunition became exhausted, and the entire garrison, under command of Captain Barron, late of the United States Navy, surrendered, and were made prisoners by Butter a

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. Goods for soldiers — some system for their transportation. As much uncertainty prevails about the safe arrival of articles sent by the railroads to soldiers in Virginia, would it not be a good plan to appoint some certain day for boxes or packages to be put aboard the freight trains at the various depots, and let some person travel throughout the line at such times for the purpose of attending to this matter alone? As it is, our North Carolina roads pass all such articles free of charge, but the Virginia reads do not; hence when packages reach Weldon, there is no one on hand to pay freight, or attend thereto in forwarding. Hence many thing intended for our soldiers have lain over at Weldon till spoilt, and others, no doubt, not perishable, will never reach them. It is true, the Express Company will carry such articles, but the charge is too high for many things. It seems some better arrangement might be made; and since our

, a descent impossible. Our policy is, or should be, to secure certain points of peculiar importance, and this is all that any power on earth can do. If the enemy had not landed at Hatteras, the probability is that he would have landed somewhere else. So far as we are concerned, it is as well that he landed where he did, as anywhere else. Somewhere he was sure to land. What does he gain by the capture of Hatteras? Does he wish to break up our privateers sailing from the coast of North Carolina? If that is his object, the whole coast was accessible to his fleet. Does he wish to establish a basis for future operations in the Atlantic Cotton States? It would have been impossible to have prevented him from accomplishing that object in some other place even if he had failed at Hatteras. We cannot prevent him from landing an army. The only thing we can do is to beat such army after it shall have been landed. Is there any doubt about our doing this? We conceive that there is n

Advance in pieces. --Spirits of turpentine has risen in value to $1.70 per gallon, whole sale price, in New York, in consequence of the blockade of the North Carolina ports, and the small quantity in market.
