of unknown numbers. I desire to commend to your attention Capt. Jardine, of the New York Ninth, who was left in command of the detachment of his regiment when the unfortunate casualty to the Harriet Lane prevented Col. Hawkins from landing. Permit me to speak of the efficiency of the regulars under Lieut. Larned, who worked zealously in aiding to land their comrades, of the volunteers, overwhelmed with the rolling surf. I desire especially to make acknowledgments to Messrs. Weigel and Durivage, volunteer aids, who planted the American flag upon Fort Clark, on the second morning, to indicate to the fleet its surrender, and to prevent the further wasting of shells upon it — a service of great danger from the fire of their own friends. I make honorable mention of young Fiske, who risked his life among the breakers, being thrown on shore, to carry my orders to the troops landed, and to apprise them of the movements and intentions of the fleet; also, my thanks for the valuable aid of
the Monticello (which had proceeded in advance of us) from the other fort. Several shots struck her, but without causing any casualties, as I am informed. So well convinced were the officers of both army and navy that the forts had surrendered at this time, that the Susquehanna had towed the frigate Cumberland to an offing. The fire was then reopened — as there was no signal from either — upon both forts. In the mean time, a few men from the Coast Guard had advanced up the beach, with Mr. Wiegel, (who was acting as volunteer aid, and whose gallantry and services I wish to commend,) and took possession of the smaller fort, which was found to have been abandoned by the enemy, and raised the American flag thereon. It had become necessary, owing to the threatening appearance of the weather, that all the ships should make an offing, which was done with reluctance, from necessity, thus leaving the troops upon shore — a part in possession of the small fort, (about seven hundred yards fr<

a very sad character. Our coast is certainly in possession of the Yankees. They entered Hatteras Inlet on yesterday and took possession of our batteries and men there. From accounts, I suppose their entrance was effected with very little trouble. We had only one regiment, consisting of eight hundred men, stationed there and at Ocracoke Inlet. This was the Seventh regiment North Carolina Volunteers. Its field-officers were: W. F. Martin, Colonel; Geo. W. Johnson, Lieutenant-Colonel; H. A. Gilliam, Major. The entire regiment, with the officers, were taken prisoners by the Yankees. This, however, was expected by the officers whenever an attack was made. Col. Johnston was here several weeks ago, and represented their insecure position. Aid was promised, but whether it was furnished I know not; but if it was, it was certainly very meagre. Col. J. said, while here, that the Yankees could take them whenever they tried. They have tried, and have done as he said. The Yankee fo
