o'clock, when, after a desperate resistance, our forces were compelled to surrrender, and the whole garrison are now held as prisoners, save a few who escaped. Lt. Citizen says our men fought bravely until they were compelled to surrender, and the defeat to our arms is only to be attributed to the superiority of the fleet over our batteries. The ammunition gave out at Fort Clark on Wednesday, and the guns were spined and abandoned, but Fort Hatteras returned the fire of the Federals till 11 or after yesterday. Men of Eastern Carolina arouse! We have warned you heretofore, but many of you headed not. Now your property, your homes and your families are in danger! Come to your arms and drive the invaders from your soil. A little preparation might have saved this disaster, but now it is too late and we must make the most of it. Let the militia be called out to aid the regular forces, and if the Hessians dare advance, let us make them rue it. We can, we must. To arms! T

Taking into consideration the topography of the country, it was a signal success. The road is skirted by high, precipitous hills, and the ground covered with thick bushes to the very road side, with but little cleared land along the road. The regiments under Cols. McCauslin and Tompkins participated in the fight. Our loss was three killed and ten or twelve wounded, as I am informed. Gen. Wise's brigade being on the opposite side of Gauley river, and some eight miles distant, took no part in the action. W. Our army on the Potomac. Rumors were plentiful yesterday in regard to the movements of the army under General Beauregard, but, beyond some successful skirmishing, we incline to the belief that nothing has yet taken place. The Northern papers, it will be seen, are considerably exercised about the occupation by the Confederates of a position of great strategic importance, overlooking the famous Union works at Arlington. They doubtless have some cause for alarm.

who were drowned by the boat going down into the rapids below the ferry. The enemy supposed that he had gotten over only a portion of his force, and seized the opportunity while they were thus "cut off," as they thought, to march upon them; but they reckoned without their host, for Gen. Floyd had had a new boat but it and his whole brigade over before they got up. The two forces encamped about two miles apart on Sunday night, and early on Monday morning the regiments under Cols. Heth and Reynolds attacked the enemy by order of Gen. Floyd, who were posted on a high hill, and dislodged them from their position; when they commenced a rapid flight, pursued by our forces. The enemy lost in killed, wounded and prisoners, upwards of one hundred men. Seventy-four prisoners were brought into camp by 8 o'clock, of which fourteen were wounded — some mortally. A number of others were no doubt killed and wounded that were not found. Taking into consideration the topography of the coun

cessary defensive works here, and the organization of all the force that can be brought into service. Why can't we have the works at Wyatt made and armed? How are our guns and ammunition at other points? The Journal further says: Colonel Fremont and General Gatlin must be sustained by the people. They are now operating here on means derived from the Safety Committee, not from Raleigh, to which however we must pay taxes. Thank God the Military Board is gone. Let Governor Clarkmore troops from Virginia. Stop no more regiments. Give us the means and the coast people will take care of the coast themselves, and let their men in Virginia fight there. The militia of New Hanover and Brunswick will take notice that Colonel Fremont has issued orders for their immediate assembling, to repel a threatened invasion by the enemy. Hatteras batteries have fallen and upwards of 800 brave North Carolinians have been killed, wounded and taken prisoners. Let every man be ready.
