company, some 75 or 100 men, while that of the enemy was still larger. The pickets were brought into direct conflict, and the battle was waged with considerable fierceness for some time, the result of which was the loss of three men killed on our side, while the Russians had ten killed and fifteen taken prisoners. Eight of the prisoners were sent to Richmond yesterday by the Central train The Republican also publishes the following extract from a letter dated Fairfax C. H. Tuesday, August 27: "The Home Guard returned late yesterday evening from Falls Church, and report the killing of six of the enemy's pickets. We lost none. The Home Guard say they killed two, and that two of our independent scouts killed four of the enemy. Our company (the Rifle Greys) are just about to start out on picket, and it is said we will go to Annandale this time. A Georgia regiment belonging to our brigade left here last night for Falls Church, with several pieces of artillery." 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 and his vandals. We have been unable to learn the loss of life, if any. Had ammunition been abundant, it is scarcely probable that the Confederates could have maintained their position against a fleet which combined 100 powerful guns, and a fighting force of 4,000 men. The garrison, we hear, consisted of but 830 men, not all of whom, it is thought, were fit for duty. It is stated that when the ammuniti
