Fatal Accident--thirteen of the enemy captured.

On Wednesday last a schooner and a brig were run ashore near Moore's Inlet, N. C. The brig was the Fanny Lowis, belonging to John Frazer & Co., of Charleston, S. C. She grounded on the reef at New Inlet, and Captain Gardner, his mate, and eight of his crew, were drowned in trying to reach the shore. The brig lies out of the range of the blockaders. Only two of the crew of the brig were saved. They were brought off by Midshipman Moses and a picked crew with the largest garrison boat from Fort Fisher. All the assistance that can be rendered will be sent down to try and save the vessel and cargo. The weather was very unfavorable and the chances were bad. The schooner was burned by a boat's crew of thirteen men sent for that purpose from one of the blockaders. The boat's crew was captured by Captain Newkirk, with a portion of his cavalry, to whom information had been given by the crew of the schooner, who escaped.
