August 29.
The joint expedition, commanded by General B. F. Butler and Commodore S. H. Stringham, after two days cannonading, succeeded in capturing Forts Clark and Hatteras, at Hatteras Inlet, N. C., with the garrison of the latter fort.
Thirty pieces of cannon, one thousand stand of arms, and a quantity of provisions, fell into possession of the National forces.
Also three prize vessels--one a brig, laden with coffee and provisions, another laden with cotton, and two United States life-boats, together with large quantities of ammunition and munitions of war.
There is an inlet across the sand bar at Hatteras, made by the sea within a few years, near which there have been erected two forts of earth and sand and other materials, and mounting a considerable number of guns.
These forts were shelled by the National rifled cannon at a range of two-and-a-half miles.
Into one of them there were thrown twenty-eight shells in eight minutes. One of the works surrendered, which was

November 8.
The Charleston Mercury of this day has the following:
South Carolina began the war, and it is, perhaps, fitting, in the nature of things, that she should end it. The rage and hate of her enemies have precipitated then on her coast.
They come to punish her for daring to assert her liberties and independence.
Hence, as General Butler, of Massachusetts, says: The war is to be illuminated by her burning cities and villages.
We have foreseen and have deprecated the wretched policy which has induced the invasion of the State.
We have wished that it could have been otherwise, and that the redemption of Maryland and the protection of South Carolina had been accomplished by fighting on the banks of the Potomac.
But since all our efforts to shield South Carolina from invasion have failed, we await with cheerfulness the fate which is upon us. There are few calamities without some redeeming advantages to those who suffer.
We can, and we will, make this invasion anothe

December 13.
Major Williams of the Third Kansas regiment, made a dash into Missouri from Mound City, and burned the villages of Papinsville and Butler, (the latter is the county seat of Bates County,) and returned with a large number of refugees, quantities of stock, &c. They had two men killed at Butler.
These towns had for a long time been the resort of a guerilla band of rebels.
This day one of the hardest battles of the war was fought at Alleghany Camp, Pocohontas County, Virginia, between Gen. R. H. Milroy, commanding the Union troops, and Gen. Johnson, of Georgia, commanding the rebels.
The fight lasted from daylight till three P. M. The Union loss is about thirty, and the rebel loss over two hundred, including a major and many other officers, and thirty prisoners. Gen. Johnson was shot in the mouth, but not fatally.
The Twelfth Georgia regiment suffered the most.
Gen. Milroy's force numbered seven hundred and fifty men from the Ninth and Thirteenth Indiana, and t
