The .1 /e/aide, Peat/odd an I ifmaicelto, had vessels ii,thiet masts, and b•emto and bat teaux in tow. .IL,st of' the traops were on board the ...I.4daNe and Pelf/adj. The steam tug 'lempest soon aft er followed, making a fleet of nine vessels in all, with a burly of about a thousand lighting men. We steamed out of Hampton It , ads in fine style. The weather was beautiful, and the sea. smooth. It Was tab nit the hour of two in the afternoon, and the sun shone forth in all the :splendor of the tropics. Tho evening drew on, with a Met 3y breeze from the south-east. The _Monticello took the lead, while the Adelaide, not being armed with large guns, immediately followed. Not one but those specially authoriqd know of our destination and object. It was understood that we wont eat under sealed orders, which would be opental at the proper time. We soon passed Cape Henry, although the speed of the leading steamer was limited to a certain point. As the night advanced, a toil] August moon rose to light our pas sage, while the winls continued to blow gently and the WAY . C3 were smooth. The troops on butt.] the Adelaide suffeted little from sea sickness, and the night Fussed pleasantly away. As the morning broke we were opposite Cape Hatteras and the Ale/aide, Pawnee, Lane and l'eaLdy were in sight of' each other. No lights greeted us along the whole coast from Cape Henry to Hatteras—a proof of the dangerous condition in whieh Se.ces oion has kit the coast. Oa Tuesday morning, the fl 7th, as the morning advanced, and the part of the fleet already on . Ilatteras gathere I together, Col lowing the .11unticello in toward shore the Minnes , tht and Wabaet hove in sight, and afterwards the frigate C.'itotb,7,lu//. Capt. Martin, wai signaled coming up.

All night the sea remained as s:nvtth as a Summer lake: tit swell was re,;ular and slow; the moon acme out again veit.a tin wonte 1 beauty, lighting op the sky with splendor. The two:Laren lay silent at its pest throu.4h all the ‘valaies of the night. Oa Wedne,Jay in nming, the I'3th, the day broke upon us beautifully, indeed, and the glassy calmness of the sea still continued.— The 1.1171117 E: r.ad Teii.,,e4t having arrived the previous es offing, the squadron was non- all mustered, with the eueeption of the Susque hanna, soon to arrive. Orders were issued for tho disembarkation of the troops on the bnach .ast of Hatteras Inlet. It was now discovered that there were two forts and one camp at the Inlet ar..l vicinity. The [ll-.4 is called Fort Hatteras, the second Fort Clark, after tho Governor of North Carolina, while Camp &wino is at the cod of a clump of trees near by. The Landing was enztted in the following order. Hawkinson the right; the Regi.lars, Union Coast Guard and Marines its the cen tre; Max. Weber on the left. The adveuee of the ships to elect and protect the landing was a splendid sight—such a ono as it was worth going to see. It was now a little af ter A o'clock. We steadily and firmly .td yawed towards the two forts, which were in plain sight on the point of Hatteras Inlet. with the disunion flag flying on a small staff. Fort Hatteras, the principal fort, was erected in Juno last; Fort Clark within a few weeks past. They are composed of rude materials. Tho number of guns is as fol luvre: Fort Hatteras, twelve mounted guns, 32-poce.dcre.; some eight-inch shells. The number of troops in the forts and camp was nearly seven hundred. The Szequctianna Lee now arrived and prepa.rel to join tb.o . action. It ii near 9 o'clock on Weg t nesday morning. The most perfect silence ; prevails. Everything is doge by signals froM the flag-ship. The entire squadron is in the field. Each ship is in her place—slowly, steadily, calmly ad vancing. The morning continues heautiful, dud the usually rough sea of Cape llatteraz is a perfect calm. It is a wonder to see such weather here at such an hour. It looks as if the finger of the Almighty was laid direct ly on the billows, and bound them into quiet. The flag, embankment, barracks and tents of the fort are now merging into view each .noment, and the silence is perfectly awful. Ten o'clock, A. following signal appears on the flag-ship: "Prepare to dis embark the troops." Ten and a quarter o'clock.—The first gun has just boomed from the Susquehanna. It passes directly over the fort, but elicits uu reply. s 1 gun follows from the T,Vabash.— The sand ties over the Leech in all direc tions where the shot strikes. The firing now commences from all the ships in regu lar order. The Harriet Lanc has led the way ahead of all the rest, her drums beat ing to euarters, the Adelaide, with the troops following closely ut hand. The firing has now become rapid, and continues for some moments, the thunder and boom of cannon, and the bursting of the shellsh' the air over the forts presenting a startling scene to the thousands who are looking on. Ten and a half—General Butler now ap pears on the wheel-house of the gartiee Lorne, close by the Adelaide and pointing to the selected spot, shouts the command, "Laud the troops." The preparations are now going forward with great rapidity.— The men and arms are ready, and the tows swing fur the shore. There are no signs of movement in the fort, though it has replied with a few guns, all the shuts front which fall far short. Nut a vessel is hit. The sound of the guts alarms the cattle in the woods, who rush down to and along the beech in large droves—a kind of "powder horn artillery" that will tar:et a hearty wet- come. Eleven u'clock.—Tho filing of the fleet has increa-ed with terrible rapidity, and the forts reply with great spirit. Their gunnery is ren.arkaLly good. The troops are now landing with artillery, in the order proposed. Eleven ticenly.—The &sr:ltalia nac,, now changes her place in the line of battle, and fires a gun that make a terrific echo. ller alto is direst, and the result is at once seen at the parapets. Twelve o'clock.--The Minnesota opens her ports from the centre. her firing is must powerful and effective. The wind has now ittereasod in a singular manner, so as to keep us ele:r from smoke, and show the for titieations to advantage, while the men on the parapets are out eloped in clouds. The men in the fleet are thus unobstructed. Twelve fifteen.—The Pawnee commences firing into the woods, where it is supposed the Secessionists may be lying in ambush to interfere with the landing of our forces. The Hirriet Lane and all the remainder of the fleet are now firing on the forts. The sound of tl;e guns and appearance of the smote are sublime at times. A score of bal loons, formed in wreaths by the explosions of shells, are seen in the air at the moment, floating in the shy over the trembling land. Two o'clock.—The troops are now on the Shure forming into line, bearing the beauti ful banner of our glorious 'Union. It is a / pleasant sight in the old North State. Three to jive o'clock..—The bombardment continues at intervals. Not one of the ves- 1 sels has yet been hit, though the forts have I fired with the utmost animation. Six o'clock.—The sky fur the first time! grows lowering toward the sea. It is evi dent that the Secessionists are disappointed I as to their fire, and their only hope now is ! I that a. gale may speedily arise and scatter the fleet, but there is mutual disappoint ment —with its in the ship a very agreea ble one; with these its the forts very disa greeable. .I,7i;e o'clock at night.—The sky is all clear hug off. The sea continuos wonderfully calm to the astonishment of all old sailors in the fleet. '1 he moon again appears in all her silvery beauty, and smiles down on the scene. Thursday Morning 20th.—Anothcr splen did day is before us. It is the day that de cides the battle and gives us the victory.— Precisely at the hour appointed, the firing again commeneed. Secession troops had been landed at the forts during the night, brought down the Sound, and the guns were $ worked with new ardor and skill. The fir -1 ing on the part of the fleet was now at a still better range, and the first morning gun of the Sasvehanna told with a fearful d feet. The shells continued exploding, over, around and directly in the forts, with a fear- I ful hares. The inner fort—Fort Clerk—ap peared to have been silenced, as the flag had disappeared. Oar troops on shore were again moving toward it at double quick.— The guns front the outer Fort Hatteras grow faint and fewer. The whole squadron - were now firing at once. The Monticello, with great courage, advanced far beyond any other ship, and poured her fire directly into the battery. One of her boats was knocked from the davits, and the ship was hit in two places. She reports the result of her obser vations to the flag-ship, and the shells now I exploded more rapidly than ever directly within F..rt Hatteras. Fort Clark was til -Ikneed. Our troops continued to advance 1 along tha shore, and tho American flag was soon waving from the parapets of Fort Clark. Fort Hatteras continued to reply to our fire, but at slow intervals, and without effect.— The Harriet Lane approached still nearer, and discharged ono of bet large guns, with destructive insults. The Suspeianna then plunged a large shell directly into the spot 1 where the disunion magazine was found to be, and in a few moments a vrhito flag op i peered on Fort Hatteras, and it was Bur -1 rendered. • The Union men were maw seen advancing along front Fort Clark, and forming into line, with the old Stars and Stripes just in front of the fallen "secession" flag. The victory was won. The troops landed on the previous night Lad been active in various ways on shore. all the day of tho battle on Thursday. ' On the appearance of the white flag, Capt. Nix on of the Union Coast Guard, entered the fort, and was joined by Lieut. Weigel, to whom Commodore : rarron, late of the United States Navy, but now in command of the forces, handed the following letter: "Flag-officer Samuel .C. S. N., offers to surrender Fort llatteras, with all the arms and munitions of war—the officers to go out with Elia arms, the men without arms to retire.

Over seven hundred officers and men were captured as prisoners of war; thirty 32-pound cannon, and a large quantity of coffee, stores and munitions of war, and several vessels.

Ruder to make all as comfortable as possible. On Friday, the 30th, at an early hour, prepitl6o4s were made to transport the prisoners to the Flag-ship. The Adelaide was carried through the Inlet in Cam style by Capt. Stellwagen aided by Capts. Raynor, of Philadelphia, and Parton, of New York, who acted as pilots.
