Butler and Commodore Stringham had fitted up a fleet and started on an expedition, but their ultimate destination was not known, and to this fact may be attributed their glorious success. The chief end of the enterprise was to capture the forts com manding tho most important inlet to the coast of North Carolina, which coast, as will be seen liy reference *to a good map, is very singularly fashioned. A tongue of land extends out from Virginia all along tho Carolina coast as far as Cape Fear, leaving between it and the main co*ut a series of sounds broken into hays and.affording harbors and operating space for a large amount of contraband com merce. An immense business has lately been done by ships which have slipped in and escaped out of these interior wa- tefs, through, those inlets, but that ar rangement haS now been effectually bro ken up. By the official dispatches it appears that the fleet; reached Ocracock or Hatteras inlet, off Pamlico Sound, on the 28th nit. The “Adelaide” landed about three hun dred men, amid a heavy surf, when the men-of-war hauled in and, at 10.15, A. M., commenced a heavy cannonade, and kept it up at intervals all day, recommencing on the 29th, at 8.15 A. M., with in creased effect. The enemy’s reinforce ments from the main coast attempted to land, but were driven back, and at 11.30 they were forced to surrender uncondi tionally, and 715 men, among whom were a number of noted rebel officers formerly of the U. S. Army and Navy, were trans ferred to the Minnesota, which sailed for New York on Friday last. In the two forts captured there were 25 cannon and 1,000 stand of arms, all of winch arc now and wc trust will remain in the hands of, the Federal troops. The loss of the Rebels in killed and wounded jis not exactly known, as many of the .and ail the killed, except two who were'found in an out-house of Fort Clark, were conveyed to the Rebel steam- ers in thp Sound previous to the surren- der. Rut by a special despatch from Wil mington, N. C., to the Louisville Courier 3hey admit that from five to six hundred were captured, sixty to eighty killed and wounded, and that only ten or a dozen escaped. Lieut. Murdoch, formerly of the U. S. J*avy, had an arm badly shat tered, but was fortunate enough to make his escape in the privateer/ 1 Winslow,” prior to the surrender of Hatteras. Flag-officer StringUam conducted the ■“ Minnesota,” with her cargo of prisoners, to New York, while. General Butler came on to Washington last Sunday morning.— The news of his brilliant exploit soon spread through the city,and occasioned unbounded joy among all loyal people.— Whether the expedition achieved aU4t went to achieve, or whether it was to have gone further South, we are not informed, nut, from the fact that the leaders and the most prominent vessels have returned, we should judge that it is a finished job. It is fair to presume that the other inlets have ad-'been: obstructed with the old hulks ' bought at Baltimore and taken along, evi ■ietitly for that purposc. The forts are distant about two miles from caoh .other, and were called respectively Fort Hatteras and Font Clark. A dispatch from Baltimore states that “maty of the prisoners taken arc Balti moreans, and that a ship load of cotton, prepared to run the blockade, was among thwpfiacs.” , - It is claimed that the result of this ex pedition is, the possession of the whole | eoastj>f North Carolina j and, of course,! thnfooting there ohtainod will be perma-!

On motion of Jacob Burlay, Esq., it was Resolved, That the ticket this day nom inated receives our cordial and united sap port. The committee appointed to draft reso lutions expressive of the sense of the Con vention offered the following,, which were unanimously adopted: WiIEREAB, A wicked conspiracy, having for its .object the subversion of our Gov” eminent and the destruction of our liber ties, has been inaugurated in certain of the Southern States; And Whereas, In common with our loyal fellow citizens, we hold sacred the Union, liberty, and peace of our beloved Country, Therefore, Resolved , That all the measures of our National and State Administrations insti tuted for the suppression of treason and for the-effective prosecution of the war against the open and wicked armed rebell ion in the South, meet with our hearty and unqualified approval. Resolved , That in the present struggle between government and treason, there can be but two parties —loyal men and trai tors; those who sustain the Union, Con stitution, and the enforcement of the laws,' and those who oppose, either in open rebellion the enforcement of the laws, or aid and assist the enemies of the Country by sympathizing with’ treason, or advocating humiliating compromises with traitors.- ‘ Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, who has fallen hi bat tle, was educated at the U. S, Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated with distinc tion in 1841, and finally rose to-the rank of Captain in the second infantry, and by the re cent choice of the Missouri volunteers became their Brigadier General. He was in the prime of life as a military commander, being in the 42d year of his age. His service has been principally upon the frontiers, iu the Florida, Texas, California,'Ore gon, Kansas and other Indian and border wars. He entered the Military Acadenre as a cadet in June, 1837, and graduated in 1841. On gradu ating from the Military Academy he received bis commission as a Lieutenant in the army, and was at' once ordered to join the army Jrl Florida, then operating against the ludians.— After uncompla.uingly passing through that most disagreeable campaign among the ever glades of Florida, he wtis stationed for some years at various points on our Wcsterp frontier. Soon alter the commencement of hostilities between the United States and Mexico bn was ordered to join the northern line, of operations under General Taylor, and, after reaching Mon terey was soon ordered to join the expedition against \ era Cruz. In the bombardment and capture of that city, and in the severely con tested battles of Contreras, Cheruhusco, and others which occurred between that place and the City of 'Mexico, his activity and military skill found full play.

Axothee Victory.—On Monday last there was a fight at Boone Court-House, in the western part of Virginia, which re sulted in, the complete root of the rebels, with a loss to them of thirty killed, forty taken prisoners, and a large number wounded. There were hilt six wounded on our side, and none killed. It is also stated that our men burned the town. *®*" A special dispatoh to the Pittsburgh hyeuiny Chronicle, dated ; Washington, Sept. 3, says: ,c Heavy firing was heard beyond Arlington Heights this morning, hut nothing was’ heard of a fight. The city is now in aa excited state.’' ■ State of Affairs at Richmond. We clip the following extract* frtm the Richmond correspondence of the Charles ton Mercury. The writer says: Richmond is packed to suffocation by as in numerable crowd of idlers, quid nuna, public offiaials, and soldiers, for the most part red capped, redfaced, pussy, panting and perspi ring, with ice at twelve cents per- pound, and little of that to be had for lore or money; where every gate is thronged with suitors, eitber.for papers to gb from this or permits to visit that camp; where your nose and mouth is crammed with impalpable dust, and your ears stunned with the muttering?, grumblings, and curses of discontent or disappointment. He gives the following gloomy account of the condition of the Commissariat, and the consequent suffering of the rebels in arms There is universal complaint made of the want of efficiency in the Commissariat Depart ment. It Was felt severely and immediately after the battle of Manassas. Our brave troops, particularly the sick and wounded, suffered greatly. Some of the troops were without pro visions from Sunday breakfast until Tuesday after the battle. Since then it has occurred more than once that many have been wit bout food for twenty-four hours. Great indignation is felt throughout the army and in Richmond on account of this outrageous and unendurable inefficiency. The efficiency of the array is im paired, and even its movements retarded through the want of supplies. I learn it has been,.and is a matter of bitter complaint and earnest re monstrance by the commanding Generals. And not only is there a want of sufficient quantity, but the provisions are not good—in fact, they are positively unwholesome It is not only so at the camps in Fairfax county, where the army is large, but also in other camps A great deal of sickness is the natural consequence. One regiment near Acquis, Creek has lost sixty men, and another-thirty. The weather has been in tensely hot, and the great mortality isattributed by the troops to had provisions, unsuitable at sny time, but more especially during such a season. The country people, camp traders nnd sut lers, too, in the neighborhood of Fredericks burg and Acquia Creek, charge: the poor fel lows meet; extortionate - prices for everything they buy. - And not only is the department of subsistence' illy managed, but the equally in dispensable department, transportation, is also lamentably behind. It was the condition of these two branches of the" army, which pre vented Gen. Beauregard from advancing to meet McDowell, as he had intended. It was his un preparedness in these, which prevented him from following the defeated enemy from Manas sas. , It is these which now paralyze him, pre vent a forward movement, and are daily losing for the. South the Substantial fruits of tha great victory. Beauregard has made superhuman exertions, and struggled against terrible and unappreciated difficulties and discouragements. His great determination, and the pluck of hie troops, have accomplished wonders. But the Executive cij inertia is a huge obstacle to suc cess, and the public interest peremptorily re quires that no ipan, or set of men, should stand in the way.

The Richmond correspondent- of the Charleston “Mercury” makes some queer state ments. Me complains that the South stands alone, without the sympathy of any nation on earth, and that the rebel loss at Manassas was greater than ours. • • fig?* It is announced that Jeff Davis has is sued (or is about to issueja proclamation an nouncing the admission of Missouri into the Southern Gonfederacy—recognizing Jackson as Chief Magistrate of - that State, and his recent aeta and proclamations as valid. BgL. Bayard Taylor, who has been spending the last three mouths at Qotfas, Germany, with the relatives of his wife, is expected home by every steamer. Immediately upon his return he will join one of the divisions of the National Army, as the war correspondent of \ the N.

B®“The Secessionists have so hemmed in East Tennessee that it is scarcely possible for a Unionist to leave the State or to send a letter across - the border. . Parson Browalow, when last heard, from, was preparing an editorial denouncing the traitors more vehemently than ever. 86k. A noticeable fact in Cistern Virginia is that almost every person is dressed in .uniform. Those who weir a citizen’s dress are hooted at in the streets, and called “Yankees.’’ The military fever suffers no dimunition, but is kept alive by exaggerated reports of victories and lying statements of Northern atrocities. SSTKcep out of debt—out of- quarrels— out of law—out of politics— oat of idleness—out of thin soled shoes—out of damp clothes—out of reach of brandy and water—out of public office —out of matrimony, unless you are in love,— Keep out of these, and you will probably keep out of the devil’s clutches. The greatest modern poetess of Eng land, Mrs. Browning, said before she died, in Florence, last June, when referring to the Uni ted States: “It is your transition time—your crisis—but you will come out of the fire puri fied and stainless, having had the angel of a great cause walking with you in the furnace.’’ fiSf Could anything be more patriotic and more significant than the reply of the President to a New York gentleman who sought to dis cover his policy with regard to the demand for a change of a part of his Cabinet ? “ Tell your friends, sir, to make war ou the enemy, and not on each other." BST" The Richmond “Examiner,” of the 26th ult., says that the Confederate Congress has decided to repeal the law establishing port# of entry, and throw all the Southern trade open to foreign commerce, providing, that ves sels that run the blockade into sham inlets may pay Confederate duties at the port nearest to where they land. heavy guns, most of them Cl’s, on the three new gun-boats at Cairo, are the same pieces that Floyd had ordered for shipment from the Pittsburgh Arsenal to Memphis, at the time when, some months ago, a strong popular move ment of the citizens of ..Pittsburgh alone pre vented such shipment. They are now on board war steamers which are destined for that place. B®* The New Hampshire Statesman Says that one of General Fremont’s aids was in Concord last week. The object of his visit is understood to have been to provide for the construction of a large lot of wagons arranged for cooking the food of any army on the march. These wagons are like what is used in the French service. Several of those wagons have already been con structed. It is proposed to mount the flag staff of our national colors with a carved or cast gill spread eagle, so that the difference between ours .and the rebel flag may be easily distin guished, The idea is a good one and ought to be adopted. The uniform should also be a dif ferent color from that of the' rebel troops, though many of oar regiments, notwithstanding the order to dress in blue, have still the gray uniform dealt out to them. •Bishop Simpson’s Patbiotism Bishop Simp son recently delivered a sermon on our national crisis in Chicago. It is described as being the most eloquent and overwhelming effort ever made by the Bishop. Thousands beard it and were affected beyond all precedent. No lan guage can describe the grandeur and the emo tions of the occasion. At one point in the ser mon, and at the fitting close of a most impas sioned paragraph, the following noble sentiment “ W® will taka our glorious flag —the fyg of our country—and nail it yurt below the cron! That is high enough ! There let it wave, as it waved of old. Around it let ns gath er. “ First Christ’s, then our country’s.” 4. HiBOIC Woman. —A few, evenings ago, whilst a gentleman who lives near Midnav Kentucky, and has a Union flag before his door] was Absent, the Secessionists, about twelve or , , , Sfteen in number, went W his house, only his Army Numbs Th« , j Judge Pearson on the National Crisis. In bis charge to the grand jury on the open ing of the Lebanon county Court this week, Judge Pearson, speaking on our present na tional and the. laws relating to the duties of the citizens concerning the same, in structed them, in substance, aa follows: Von are well aware, gentlemen. Uutftbe Gov ernment of (he country ie now engtfeed in a great straggle with rebellion. A vety consid erable portion Of the States of this Union have risen against* the lavs, endeavored to throw off their allegiance, and are now in open arms, with a view of subverting and destroying the Constitution and Government of the United States. This ie no there party contest, such as has frequently agitated our country, to be ulti mately settled at the ballot-box, but a great struggle for national existence, to bo determined by force of arms alone. It is scarcely neces sary for me to remind a true and loyal people, like those of Lebanon county, of their duty as citizens in such a contest, and to soy that they are bound by their Allegiance and interest not only to do no act and utter no word or senti ment calculated to embarrass the Government in ita action, but to render all the assistance in their power to aid it in carrying on the war so unjustly forced upon: it. To levy war against the United States, or adhere to the enemy in time of war, giving them aid and comfort, is high treos'on, but ibis crime can be tried only in the Federal courts. Treason may also be committed against the State of Pennsylvania by the same acts, or any endeavor to subvert and overturn the Govern ment and over that offence you and we have jurisdiction. But the'law to which I particu larly wish to direct your attention as having a more practical bearing on the action of the people in the present exigency, was passed at the last session of the Legislature, and should be known and understood by alii lest any might transgress unwittingly. The act punishes with great severity the aiding or abetting the enemy now at war with the United States, by joining their armies or procuring any one so to dp, or furnishing them any article for their aid and comfort, carrying on a correspondence njth them, or giving them any intelligence whatever, it -also- prohibits, under like penalty, every en deavor to dissuade persons from entering the service of this State or of the United States, or from joining any volunteer, company or associa tion about being mustered into service, to in duce or endeavor to', persuade them to abandon or withdraw from the same. Every resident of; Pennsylvania who is pro tected by its laws, muist abstain from utteriug, writing or printing anything with the view nnd purpose or which mays have the effect of pre venting others from entering the armies of the State or Nation; or -tnay induce others already entered to desert theiri colors and abandon this service. We all most highly prize the liberty of speech and. freedom of the press, yet, at a time like this, when great calamities may be impending over the Nation, the rules-of mo rality, our allegiance i and duty alike- require that we shall abstain from doing any act or altering any word or sentiment calculated to show that our councils are divided, whereby the hand of the enemy is strengthened and that of the Government weakened, and such act is well calculated to giro aid and comfort to the enemy: and writing, printing or advised speaking be fore the people against the action of the Na tional Government, directly tends to induce those in the service to leave it, and those about to enter, to change their intentions. Persons violating these plain duties may readily bring themselves within the penalty of the law; and if the Grand Jury, or any one of them, know of this statute having been transgressed, it is your bounden duty to present the transgressors, so that they may receive punishment according to their demerits. , General Dix Foils a “Secesh” Game. The Baltimore Clipper of Saturday savs: “ It will be remembered that on last Wednes day morning the steamer Hugh Jenkins was advertised to visit Point Lookout on an excur sion. From information received, General Dix was satisfied that the object of the Hugh Jen kins in visiting Point Lookout was for purposes other than that of a pleasure excursion. He accordingly notified the getters np of the ex cursion that the boat could not leave the city unless accompanied by a company of Col. Dui yea’s Zouaves. After considerable delay, the parties who chartered the boat consented to the proposal "of the General and the boat left her wharf, having on board sixty-five soldiers, seven police officers under command of Lieutenant Carmichml, and about twenty-five excursion ists. N “Nothing of interest transpired on the way down, except that a passenger named MoElwee expressed himself rather freely relative to the topics of the day, and made a boast that he wonld kill the Captain (Griffin) of the boat be fore landing at Point Lookout. McElwec was immediately placed in of a file of Zou aves, and his movements closely watched until the boat landed at her destination. McElwoe was then sent ashore, and nothing more was heard of him. Upon arriving at Point Look out, a negro informed Lieutenant Carmichael that during the day throe hundred rebels had quitted the place in schooners and proceeded to Virginia—the rebels having heard that a large force of Federalists were approaching the place. “Considerable surprise was manifested at the Point when the boat arrived, as it was under stood that-the boat, instead of being filled with Federal soldiers, wonld bring down several hundred recruits for the Southern army, and the boat would be sold to the Confederates.— The chagrin of the Secessionists, when they discovered how they had been outgeaeraled, was amusing in the extreme. They denounced our po.ice as being intermeddlers in a business which did not concern them, and expressed themselves in so many other shapes that we feel certain the poor fellows will not recover from the disappointment in a long time : The programme appeared to be, that when the boat landed at Point Lookout she was to be seized provided with cannon, and be despatched on a’ privateering expedition. Rebel Hateed of the GeeSiass.— A gentle man who spent several days in the vicinity of Spnngheld states that he mingled freely with noth officers and men in the rebel army. They admit that onr troops, in the Springfield battle, all fought with astonishing bravery and tenaci ty - After the fight Commenced, General Price, who is a portly man of fifty years, with gray barir, rode along his. lines, addressing his men: ‘Mow, boys, here are the d d Dutch you have all been so anxious to meet; you see lam not afraid of them; show them how you can fight. They claim; that Priee exhibited great bravery in the field, and was not afflicted with any return of bis Boonville distemper. The rebels firmly believe that our loss is 2,500. They claim a great victory, but find it difficult to explain- the fact that they were unable to pursue our army when it Some attrib ute it to their running ont of ammunition ; oth ers say that Price favored pursuit, but McCul loch would npt permit it for fear of beintt drawn into a trap. • 6 • Kiganra by a itsonißST The Websi Massachusetts, “Times'* relates the incident of the return of the Sixth regim-nt “ The engine halted for water at the North viT lags, and as the girlaof Slater’# mills had «», grtgated wpon the lawn between the mml< m railroad track, die soldier* flocked from T dan and occupied the few minutes of the w, fe moot prolonged sad indiscriminate kissing t Which the blushing girls submitted with a c!J mendablo and becoming grace.” Why Bekkcrr ttas Aosxsted We i ean , from Washington that the re-il cause of Har Berrett’s arrest was his disclosure to the reb?, of a plan formed by McClellan of making a n conqoisanee in force into Virginia, and !0r ronhdinpGen.
