Improvements in the Dispatch. We regret that we are unable to make the promised improvements in the Dispatch on the first of September, when the increased price of subscription takes effect. The new type are not ready, and other difficulties stand in the way; but these causes of delay will be removed in a day or two, and by Monday week the paper will appear with such changes and improvements as we design making.

The war News. The city was considerably excited yesterday by a report that the expedition which sailed southward from Fortress Monroe on Monday last, under command of Gen. B. F. Butler, had attacked and captured Fort Hatteras, on the North Carolina coast. The authority for this report was the subjoined statement in the columns of the Petersburg Express, of yesterday: We learn from a source every way reliable that at an early hour Thursday morning it became evident to the small Confederate force stationed at Fort Hatteras, on the coast of North Carolina, that the fleet, which was first discovered off Hatteras Tuesday evening, contemplated an attack at that point. About half-past 9 o'clock the powerful vessels opened fire on the Fort. The fire was vigorously returned, but after twenty rounds from the Fort the ammunition became exhausted, and the entire garrison, under command of Captain Barron, late of the United States Navy, surrendered, and were made prisoners by Butter

i of numerous killings and captures of our forces by the Yankees in the Kanawha country. The "decisive movement" spoken of by the writer seems to have been made, as the enemy's telegraph from Cincinnati, of the 27th, says that "Col. Taylor's command, on the Kanawha, was badly defeated by the Confederates a few days ago." The envelope of the letter referred to is ornamented with several gibbets, with men suspended by the neck Isabelle "Davis," "Beauregard," "Toombs," "Floyd, " "Yancey," "Twiggs," "Rhett &Co." Reports from the Potomac. Passengers by the Central train yesterday reported that fighting was going on the previous day in the neighborhood of Annandale, Fairfax county, and that fifty of the enemy were killed and six taken prisoners. The loss on the Southern side was not stated; but as our troops had passed Annandale at the latest accounts, and were between Shuter's Hill and Arlington Heights, the probability is that the enemy suffered a decided repulse.

The writer says: "We have been constantly moving for a week, and have crossed the Gauley river and occupied the important position recently held by the enemy. We have had some skirmishing upon our pickets on our march, but not amounting to much. We had three men wounded in Captain Buchanan's company. Our scouts killed and wounded twenty or thirty of the enemy, and took some prisoners every day. We are now expecting to make a decisive movement against Gen.
