Disaster at Hatteras. The Raleigh Standard, of Saturday last, has the following: The affair does not alarm us. We do not go into spasms because the Yankees have taken Hatteras. It is sheer nonsense for our people to take fright and conclude that the Yankees, having got possession of Hatteras, can control Eastern Carolina, and that by consequence it is lost to us, at least for a time. To talk of Hatteras being made the base of a great strategic plan for the subjugation 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 Standar

M., the frigate Wabash steamed up, and as she passed Fort Clark, the "Stars and Stripes" were waved three times to her from the parapet of the fort, which she acknowledged by dipping her colors. She then rounded to, dropped anchor, and opened fire upon the fort. She was immediately joined by the Susquehanna, Cumberland and Minnesota in an incessant fire of shell, which dropped thick and fast around and in the fort. The fort replied at intervals, and the Susquchanna was evidently damaged, as she withdrew from the range of the fort, and only fired two more shots during the engagement, her place being supplied by the Roanoke. Fort Clark now also opened on Fort Hatteras, together with several other land batteries, which they had created on shore, one of these, consisting of rifle cannon, seemed to pay particular attenti

The bombardment and capture of forts Clark and Hatteras. This exploit of the Federalists continues to occupy a large share of public attelligence that the patriotic little band of 100 men, who were at Fort Clark, a little above Fort Hatteras, after making a desperate resistanco men killed and Lieutenant Knight wounded, while retreating from Fort Clark.

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

annonade was being kept up, the fleet firing continual broadsides of shell, while we replied at intervals with shot, our shell having been expended. The shot and shell dropped thick and fast upon the fort and island, but so far no one was hurt, except two men killed and Lieutenant Knight wounded, while retreating from Fort Clark. In the face of this dreadful storm of iron, our Captain, with that firmness and tranquility which ever characterizes the true officer and gentleman, ran the Confederate States steamer "Ellis" hear the fort, which now of course became the prominent mark for the Yankees, as we were not only a gunboat, but our decks were crowded with men. Protected by our Heavenly Father, though the balls whistled close and fast by us, we remained unhurt. One thing I can vouch for is, that there is not a man upon this little steamer but who has grown familiar with that peculiar whizzing sound, which always accompanies a ball in its flight through the air.

nts, no controversy is necessary for any honest or useful purposes. Let the patriot press confine itself to the duty of spreading truth before the people, with such comments as may be necessary to illustrate that truth; nor yield to the temptation of resentments that magnify the little and give apparent consequence to the base and selfish. Location of Hatteras. The Wilmington Journal says: Hatteras Inlet appears by the coast survey map to be about 11 or 12 miles south of Cape Hatteras, and 15 or 16 north of Ocracoke.--There is a pretty good harbor with deep water extending in about half a mile. There is, however, a shoal between this and the deep water of the Sound, over which eight feet may be carried at extreme high water. With Hatteras Inlet on the south and Oregon Inlet on the north of the dreaded Cape, chartered blockade steamers may be able to hover around during the winter. Without them they could not, and privateers cannot. There is no use trying to gainsa

Just at this time we saw the steamer Winslow approaching with a plenty of ammunition, and the following officers on board: Captain Samuel Barron, Lieuts, Sharp and Murdaugh, and Surgeon Greenhow.

All this time a severe and constant cannonade was being kept up, the fleet firi! What can it want? My God ! they are bringing the wounded to the steamer ! What a terrible scene ! Never shall I forget it. They approach. Surely that blackened face, that body almost covered with blood, cannot be the noble and chivalrous Lieut. Murdaugh ! Alas ! it is. He had fallen, manfully battling against them by the side of his gun, with words of encouragement upon his lips.
