gation of North Carolina and of the South, betrays consummate ignorance both of geography and strategy. Give the Yankees control of Hatteras, Beacon Island, and Oregon Inlet, and then they can do nothing, except to interfere with our privateers, and to harass our people who live on the banks and on the sounds, unless we stand still and do nothing. The Standard argues to show that Hatteras ought not to have been surrendered, and that it would not had there not been "something rotten in Denmark." The Standard concludes: We have no charges of corruption or collusion to make. We would not do injustice to any living man. But we cannot resist the conclusion which the facts published in our paper to-day force upon us, that Com. Barron yielded too much to his fears, or something else, when he proposed to surrender. It is unfortunate, at the present juncture, that the Raleigh papers are at variance in reference to the management of the coast defences. The Goldsboro' Tribune t

r, I am sorry to observe, referred editorially to this engagement as unimportant, evidently believing the base, contemptible Yankee version. That reference was ungenerous, shameful, truckling, and unworthy a public journalist in the capital of the new nation. Because our mortality, owing to the excellent disposition of our troops, and the unerring aim of such men as Deshier, Shoemaker, and Massey, with our little six-pounders, was no greater, be seems to think that "something is rotten in Denmark," or that other men would have achieved a brighter success. He seems to forget that we had only 1,600 men reported for duty, and that the enemy's strength, as admitted by themselves, was 6,000; that they had eight cannon, some twelve-pounders, including one rifled piece, that becoming choked, was fire but once. He has forgotten these facts, or willfully intended an injury to Gen. H. R. Jackson, some individual, or particular corps under his command. Let his intension, however, be what it

, employed temporarily at the hotel, was arrested, and his statements were of such a nature as to leave little doubt of his guilt. The Mayor yesterday remanded him, to be further examined on Thursday. Charles B. R. Koburg, a stranger, applied yesterday morning to Mr. Adcock, ticket agent at the office of the Central Railroad, for a free ticket; and, in reply to questions, said he was neither a slave nor a citizen of a slave country. The agent, suspecting there was something rotten in Denmark, had the individual arrested and carried before the Mayor, and in due time he was called up for examination. "Here is nothing against me poor poverty, Mishter Mayor, " said the prisoner; "and I shall pe nothing else poot poor here, where I goot nein friends; poot I goot plenty friends in Cincinnati, pecause I'm Sherman py parentage. I hope, Mishter Mayor, you'll send me to Cincinnati in chains, and deliver me oop to the Courts of O-hi-o." "Indeed I shall do no such thing," said the Mayor.

Raastoff, Charge d'affaires of Denmark, has addressed a letter to the Federal Secretary of State upon the subject of the advantages offered by the Island of St. Croix for the employment of persons of this country of African extraction, and negroes found on board of vessels captured by Federal cruisers. The island, he says, has been checked in progress for want of manual labor, and he invites the United States to enter into a Convention, whereby the contemplated emigration may be placed under the protection and guaranty of the t

rried that there are now, so at least I am assured and fully believe, many Union men in Norfolk who are deliberately passing themselves off as Secessionists.**** Norfolk is just as dull, stupid, and stubborn as it was two months ago, Nobody trading, nobody willing to meet you half way; but the same moody, treasonable kinds of loafers, whispering at street corners and religiously believing in the return of Jeff. Davis & Co. There appears, however, to be "something rotten in the State of Denmark," spite of all rebellious proclivities. For instance, they refuse their own money. At the Atlantic Hotel — the first hotel in the place--(it ought to be, by the way, since they charge twenty-five cents for a very poor sherry cobbler)--the following notice is conspicuously stuck up: "Specie and Northern bills only will be received at par in payment of bills due this hotel.

sunlight and become involved in gloom. At Chester, Pa., and at David's Island, N. Y., the sick and wounded prisoners are allowed comforts and even delicacies. What can cause the difference? Would that we might believe that the disgraceful treatment of our Confederate prisoners might arise from individual corruption and not from the Government, of whose sins we, as a representative people, must bear the punishment. But the matter needs probing. "There is something rotten in the State of Denmark." A. New Englander. Rebellious conscripts.
