Newbern on Tuesday to take command of the fort, went down immediately on his reaching here, with what little ammunition he could get, got to the fort safe, went to a gun, but saw how useless it was to prolong the conflict under such immense disadvantage, and was taken prisoner. Intelligence from the coast this morning is that the entire fleet, seventeen ships-of the line, had left the coast. Some of their gunboats are now inside the bar, and have complete away of the Sound. Lieutenant Murdaugh, who had his left arm horribly fractured by a shell, was fortunate enough to escape from Hatteras, and was brought up here to have his arm amputated. He stood the operation manfully, scarcely uttering a murmur; and yesterday afternoon, when he was put into an extra car to be carried to Goldsboro', he was very cheerful. It is thought here that the Yankees will make Hatteras a basis of operations against Norfolk, as there is good water communication by the Sound and Canal. R. O. C.

Hatteras and Fort Clark. The Journal says: The capture of Hatteras, Oregon and Ocracoke — and the Newbern Progress says that all these have been captured — will have the effect of detaining certain regiments to guard the coast of Pamlico Sound against hen-roost robbing, house-burning and negro-thieving forays, but it will hardly require more men to guard the coast than to hold the banks. With any reasonable alertness and preparation, no force need be allowed to penetrate into Albemarle Sound, nor when they do go on a hen-roosting expedition will the Butteries find the immediate vicinity of the landing very encouraging. They will probably get tired as soon as anybody else. But surely enough Butler will make a big noise over this, almost the only success of the war. Some poorly and recently ot up works manned by inexperienced and probably ill, drilled men, have been captured by the most powerful steam fleet that the Federal Government has yet sent out, with five times t

The invasion of North Carolina. The Newbern (N. C.) Progress, of Monday, has the following in reference to the operations of the Federalists on the coast: A rumor reached here on Saturday morning that 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 inone; but then, "it won't do to grieve over spilt milk." The long dreaded calamity has come upon us. Hatteras, Ocracoke and Oregon Inlets have fallen into the hands of the Federals, and with them free access to the entire inland waters of Eastern North Carolina--more extensive, perhaps, than that of any other State on the continent. But if we trust in God and put our shoulder to the wheel, it may all yet result in our favor. If our military directors can possibly be stimulated to the exerc

he occupation of such vile wretches. Let every man trust in God, keep his powder dry, and stand firm and unflinching at the breech of his piece, and the victory is sure to be ours in the end. The editor of the Progress, with characteristic patriotism, has "volunteered for the war," and, in Monday's paper, gracefully bids his readers farewell. The Wilmington Journal states the number of prisoners taken at Hatteras at 580, that being the amount of the force in both Fort Hatteras and Fort Clark. The Journal says: The capture of Hatteras, Oregon and Ocracoke — and the Newbern Progress says that all these have been captured — will have the effect of detaining certain regiments to guard the coast of Pamlico Sound against hen-roost robbing, house-burning and negro-thieving forays, but it will hardly require more men to guard the coast than to hold the banks.

M., and reports 7 killed and 26 wounded on our side, and the balance, except a few who escaped, were sent away prisoners of war — it is supposed to Old Point. The wounded were also carried off. Of the military movements of our forces I am not at liberty to speak. The Alliance and St. Johns, the two British ships which "ran the blockade," are discharging their cargoes at Morehead city. The Alliance was warned by the blockading fleet at Charleston, on the 27th May, but patiently waited an opportunity, and slipped in unperceived by the Hessian fleet. Their cargoes are indeed most valuable, containing, besides "munitions of war," 5,000 sacks of salt. September 2d, 1861.

This report, however, was discr destruction intends to row himself away at his leisure. Nothing further has been learned of the fate of Hatteras or Oregon. We understand, however, that the Albemarle left on Saturday for Oregon to try to learn its condition, and that the PostOregon to try to learn its condition, and that the Post Boy went down to Hatteras under a flag of truce to look after the dead and wounded; so we may expect to have something more soon. The Progress, of Tuesday, says: The flag steamer sent down on Saturday has returned; also one sent down last S being the amount of the force in both Fort Hatteras and Fort Clark.

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 iied, "one." "You are a liar," replied the Yankee, Showing that they disbelieved the fact that after nearly twenty-four hours bombardment so few should have been killed out of about 580 men who occupied the fort. Commodore Barron, who arrived at Newbern on Tuesday to take command of the fort, went down immediately on his reaching here, with what little ammunition he could get, got to the fort safe, went to a gun, but saw how useless it was to prolong the conflict under such immense disadvantage

The citizens have deserted Plymouth, Rosefort, and Morehead city, and nearly all the women and children have gone to the interior. We are now entirely cut off by water, and the Yankees cannot be driven out unless the Government will send down some guns boats. Our people are making extensive preparations supposed to Old Point.

At about 10 o'clock it was evident that the Fort must surrender, inasmuch as the Federals, having got their guns in exact range, fired with great precision and rapidity, and our ammunition was entirely exhausted. Our entire force then surrendered, and the Hessians marched in and took them prisoners. This event caused great excitement along the whole coast, and, indeed, all over the State.

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 w
