f war. Six hundred and fifteen prisoners were taken, among whom were several who some months before had been officers in the National navy. It is known that a certain number of the garrison escaped previous to the capitulation, some of whom were wounded. Flag-Officer Barron, in his report to the Confederate Navy Department, states that he arrived at Hatteras Inlet early on the 28th, in the steamer Winslow, accompanied by Colonel Bradford, Chief of Ordnance of North Carolina, and Lieutenants Murdaugh and Sharpe of the Confederate navy. He found Colonel Winslow, in command of Fort Hatteras, very much exhausted from exposure and hard fighting the previous day. He says: The garrison had hoped for the arrival of a regiment from Newbern the previous night, which would have been employed in an attempted assault of Fort Clark, held by the Union troops, the appearance of bad weather having caused the protecting vessels to seek an offing. Early in the morning the fleet again stood

d Major Andrews and other officers, late of the United States Navy. The amount of loss on their side is not exactly known. Five are ascertained to have been buried, and eleven wounded are on board this vessel. Many were carried away. Lieut. Murdaugh, late of the United States Navy, is among the number, with the loss of an arm. We met with no casualty of any consequence whatever. The surrender was unconditional. For all particulars I beg to refer to the reports of Flag Officer Silas H.. I understand from Surgeon Wyatt and Mr. Brown, formerly of the United States Navy, and at present holding a commission in the army of the Confederate States, and in charge of the medical department of Forts Hatteras and Clark, that ex-Lieutenant Murdaugh, of the United States Navy, was very badly injured, a fragment of shell striking his forearm and making a compound fracture of both bones. This gentleman escaped from Hatteras, prior to the surrender, in the privateer Winslow. W

d 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, 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
