OUR BRILLIANT VICTORY! FURTHER PARTICULARS. THE SCENE OF THE EXPLOIT. OFFICIAL LIST OF PRISONERS. THE CAPTURED STORES ARRIVAL OF GEN, BUTLER IN WASHINGTON. HIS SERENADE AND SPEECH. We present below a detailed account of the bril liant victory off the coast of North Carolina, achieved hy the naval expedition which left For tress Monroe on Monday last, under the command ■of Commodore Stringham and Major General Butler: uatteras inlet, Situated about twelve miles from Cape Hatteras lighthouse, is the inlet in question. It is known to the mariner hy a low sand island, which was for merly a round hammock, covered with trees on the eastern sido of the entrance. The breakers seldom extend entirely across the entrance to the cove or harbor, but at nearly all times make on each side, and between them lies the channel. The har should ho approached from the northward and eastward, and vessels should keep in four or five fathoms of water along the breakers until up with the opening. The least water on the bar is fourteen feet mean low water, and the rise and fall of the tide but two feet. Once inside the inlet, the mariner finds good anchorage in a hard sand bot tom, except a few sticky spots at the head of the channel. The anchorage affords protection from all winds except those from tho southward and westward. As an entrance to Pamlico, Albemarle, and Cur rituck Sounds, the possession of llnttcras Inlet is of vast importance to the cause of the Union. With Ocracoke and Hatteras Inlets closed. North Caro lina may l>e said to be completely shut In from the ocean. Privateers can no longer be sent to sea through the Dismal Swamp Canal and Albemarle Sound to annoy our commerce, and all communica tion between Virginia and Europe is effectually cut off. Newbern, on thcNeusc river; Washington, on the Pamlico river: Elizabeth City, on the Pas qufttonk, and a number of other ports on the Roan oke and Chowan rivers, will also be included in the blockade. Pamlico Sound (an inland sea, eighty miles long, and from ten to twenty-five miles connecting with the Albemarle Sound on the north, and the Pamlico and Neuse rivers on the west) can no longer be of any service to the rebels of North Carolina, now that its principal inlet has been closed. Albemarle and Currituck Sounds will also be effectually closed, and the light-draught vessels which have been continually annoying the Government, by bringing in supplies to the rebels, wul no longer be permitted to carry on their nefa rious traffic. OCRACOKE INLET, which is about twelve miles southwest of Hatteras Inlet, is defended by a battery of 32-pounders, six in number. It is probably ere this in the possession of the Federal Government, as it was well under stood that Commodore Stringham would pay it a visit immediately after the reduction of Forts Ilat teras and Clark. In a military point of view its possession is equally as important as that of Hat teras Inlet, as it affords an easy entrance to Pamlico Sound and its numerous tributayi.es. Through this inlet vessels from Tarborougn. Greenville, and Washington, on the Pamlico river, and Waynesbo rough, Goldsborougb. and Newbern. on the Neuse river, have been in the habit of proceeding to sea and carrying aid and comfort to the enemy at will. But, thanks to our intrepid navy and the volunteers acting in concert, this game has been stopped, and North Carolina suffers from something more than a mere paper blockade. REPORT OF THE REBEL ENGINEER OF THE COAST DEFENCE DEPARTMENT. Fort Hatteras, July 25,1861 Cot. Warren Winslow, Military Secretary : Colonel : The day before yesterday we hoisted our glorious flag over Fort Clark, a strong battery, nearly finished, of five heavy thirty-two pounders, about half a mile from Fort Hatteras, which se cures to us a cross fire upon the bar and the en trance to this inlet. I now consider this inlet se cure against any attempt of the enemy to enter it. Our force of men I think rather weak to resist a land attack, in case the enemy should effect alanding in the bite of Hatteras. If we had three or four additional companies here I should feel quite safe, even in that event. As I have before remarked, this inlet is the key to Albemarle Sound, and it cannot be too strictly guarded. We cer tainly arc under the espionage of the steamers, as they are seen every day or two in the offing, al though they keep without the range of our guns. If I had received the ten-inch columbiads we could have damaged them some on their last visit, three days since. We now have two privateers in this harbor, besides the war steamers Winslow, and the Gordon, of Charleston, Captain Lockwood, armed with three guns—a fine, large steamer. She re turned this morning with a prize brig, laden with three hundred and sixty hogsheads of molasses. We have, also, a saucy little pilot schooner, the Vloi'ida, mounting one six-pound rifled cannon. She captured a prize two days since, took her crew out, and sent her in with her own men. A United States Government steamer gave chase to the prize, and they were obliged to .beach her at Nag's Head. She. of course, is a total loss. Tours, respectfully, Major W. Beversuow Thompson. Chief of Engineer Department Coast Defence. The following is the report made to Genera Wool hy General Butler : U. S. Flag Ship Minnesota. ) August 30, 1801. 't General : Agreeably to your orders. I embarked on the transport steamers Adelaide and George Pea* body , 500 of the Twentieth Regiment New York Volunteers. Col. Webber commanding, 220 of the Ninth Regiment New York Volunteers. Col. Haw kins, 100 of the Union Coast Guard, Capt. Nixon commanding, 60 of the 2d U. S. Artillery, Lieut. Lar ned commanding, as a force to operate in conjunc tion with the fleet under command of Flag Officer Stringham against the rebel forts at Hatteras Inlet. We left Fortress Monroe on Monday, at 1 o'clock P. M-. and the last ship of our fleet arrived off Hat teras Inlet about 4 o’clock, on Tuesday afternoon. Such preparations as were possible for the landing were made in the evening, and at daylight next morning dispositions were made for an attack on the forts by the fleet, and for the landing of the troops. Owing to the prevalence of southwesterly gales, a |heavy surf was breaking on the beach. Every effort was made to land the troops, and after about 315 were landed, including 55 marines from the fleet, and the regulars, both the iron boats upon which we depended were swamped in the surf, and both flat-boats stove, and a brave attempt being made by Lieut. Crosby ofthe U. S. A., serving as a pest captain at Fortress Monroe, who had volunteered to come down with the steamer tug Fanny , belonging to the army, to land in a boat from the war steamer Pawnee . resulted in the beaching of the boat, so that she could not be got off. It was impracticable to land more troops because of the rising wind and Eea. Fortunately, a 12- pound rifled boat gun, loaned us by the flag-ship, and a 12-pound howitzer, were landed, tho last slightly damaged. Our landing was completely covered by the shells ofthe Monticello and Har riet Lane* 1 was on board the latter, directing the disembarkation oftlie troops by means of signals* and was about landing with them at the time the boats were stove. AA r e were induced to desist from further attempts at landing troops by the rising of the wind, and be cause, in the meantime, the fleet had opened fire upon the nearest fort, which was finally silenced and its flag struck. No firing had opened upon our troops from the other fort, and its flag was also struck. Supposin' this to be a signal of surrender, Colonel Weber advanced his troops already landed upon the beach. The Harriet Latte, by my direction, tried to cross the bar to get into the smooth water of the inlet, when a lire was opened upon the Monti cello (which had proceeded in advance of us) from the other fort. Several shots struck her. but with out causing any casualty, as I am informed. So well convinced were the officers of the navy and army that the forts had surrendered at this time, that the Susquehanna had towed the frigate Cum • herland to an offing. The fire was then reopened (as there was no sig nal from either) upon both forts. In the meantime, a few men from the Coast Guard had advanced up the beach with Mr. Wiegel, who was acting as vo lunteer 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 there on. It had become necessary, in consequence of the threatening appearance of the weather, that all the ships should make an offin', which was done with reluctance froni necessity, thu3 leaving the troops upon the shoro, a part in possession of the small forts (about 700 yards from the one) and the rest bivouacked upon the beach, near the place of land ing, about two mile north of the forts. Early the next morning the Harriet Lane ran in shore, for the purpose of covering any attack upon the troops. At the same time, a large steamer was observed coming down the sound, inside the land, with reinforcementfs for the enemy, hut she was prevented from landing by Capt. Johnson, of the coast Guard, who had placed the guns from the ship, and a six-pounder from the enemy, in a small land battery, and opened fire upon the rebel steamer. At 8 o'clock the fleet opened fire again, the flag ship being anchored as near as the water allowed, and the other ships coming gallantly into action. It was evident, after a few experiments, that our shot fell short. An increased length of fuse was signalled, and the firing cbmmenced with shell of fifteen seconds fuse. I had sent Mr. Fiske, acting aid-de-camp, on shore for the purposd of gaining intelligence of the movement of the troops, and of the enemy. I then went with the Fanny for the purpose of effecting a landing of the remainder of the troops when a white flag was run up from the fort. I then went with the Fanny over the bar into the inlet At the same time the troops under Col. Weber marched np the beach, and signal was made for the flag-ship to cease firing. As the Fanny round ed in over the bar the rebel steamer Winslow went up the channel, having a large number of Secession troops on board, which sbo had not landed. IVs threw a slieil at her from the Fanny, but she proved to be out of range. I then sent Lieut. Crosby on shore to demand the meaning of the white flag. The boat soon returned with the me morandum from Commander Barron, (already given.) and a verbal communication stating that he had in the Fort 1)15 men, and 1.000 more within a few hours' call, but that ho was anxious to spare the effusion of blood. To both the written and verbal communications I made the reply inserted in other despatches. After waiting three-quarters of an hour, Lieut. Crosby returned, bringing with him Capt. Barron. Major Andrews, and Col. Martin, of the rebel force! who, on being received on board the tug Fan mj, informed me that they had accepted the terms pro posed in my memorandum. I informed them that, as the expedition was a combined one. the surren der must be made on board the flag ship, to Flag Officer Stringham, as well as to myself. We went on board the Minnesota for that purpose, when the articles of capitulation were agreed on. (Already given.) I then landed and took a formal surrender of the forts, with all the men and munitions of war, in spected the troops, to see that the arms had been properly surrendered, marched them out, embarked them on hoard the Adelaide , and marched my own men into the fort, and raised our own flag upon it, amid the cheers of our men and a salute of thirteen guns, which had been shotted by the enemy. The embarkation of the wounded, which was con ducted with great care from a temporary wharf erected for tho purpose, took so long that night that it was impossible for the pilots to take til o Arieltiule over the bar. thereby causing delay. I may mention in this connection that the Adt (aide, in carrying in the troops at the moment that my terms of capitulation wero under consideration by the enemy, had grounded upon the bar, but by the active and judicious exertions of Commander Stellwngon. after some delay, was got off. At this same time the Harriet Lane, in an attempt to enter the bar, had grounded and remained fast. Both were under the guns of the fort. This to mo was a moment of tho greatest- anxiety. By those accidents a vuluablo ship of war and a transport steamer with a largo portion of my troops on board were within the power of the enemy - I had demanded tho strongest terms, which ho was considering. Ho might refuse, and, seeing our disadvantage, renew the action, But I determined to abate not a tittle of what I believod to be due to the dignity of the Government, not even to give an official title to the officer in command of the rebels. Besides, my tug was in the inlet, and at least I could carry on tho engagement with my two rifled six-pounders, well supplied with Sawyer’s sheU.| Upon taking possession of Fort Hatteras, I found that it mounted ten guns, with four yet unmounted, and one large ten-inch columbiad, all ready for mounting. I append the official muster-roll of Colonel Martin, furnished by him, of the officers and men captured by us. The position of tho fort is an exceedingly strong one, nearly surrounded on all sides by water, and only to be approached by a march of 500 yards circuitously over a long neck of sand within half musket range, and over a causeway a few feet only in width, and which was commanded by two 32-pouad guns loaded with grape and canister, which we expended in our salute. It had a well-protected magazine and bomb-proof capable of sheltering some three or four huudred men. The parapet was nearly of an octagon form, enclosing about two-thirds of an acre of ground, covered with sufficient traverses and ramparts, upon which our shells had made but little impres sion. The larger work, nearer this inlet, was known as Fort Hatteras. Fort Clark, which was about seven hundred yards northerly, is a square redoubt, mounting five guns and two six-pounders. The enemy had spiked these guns, but in a very inefficient manner, upon abandoning the work the day before. I had all the troops on shore at tho time of the surrender of the forts, but rc-embarkcd the regu lars and marines. I disembarked the provisions, making, with the stores captured, five days’ rations for the use of the troops. On consultation with Flag-officer Stringham and Commander Stellwagen, I determined to leave the troops and hold the forts, because of the strength of the fortification, its importance, and because of the difficulty of its recapture, if again in the pos session of the enemy with a sufficient armament, until I could get further instructions from the Go vernment. Commodore Stringham directed the steamers Monticello and Pawnee to remain inside, and these, with the men in the forts, are sufficient to hold the position against any forco which is likely to be sen t against it. The importance of the point cannot be overrated. When the channel is buoyed out. any vessel may carry fifteen feet of water over it with oase. Once inside, there is safe harbor and anchorage in all weather. From there tho whole coast of Virginia and North Carolina, from Norfolk to Cape Lookout, is within our reach by light draft vessels, which can not possibly live at sea during tho winter months. From it offensive operations may bo made upon tho whole coast of North Carolina to Boquo Inlet, ex tending many miles inland to Wilmington, New bern, and Beaufort. In the language of the Chief Engineer of the rebels, Col. Thompson, in an official report, "It is the key of the Albemarle.” In my judgment, it is a station second in importance only to Fortress Monroe, on this coast. As a depot for coaliug and supplies for the blockading squadron, it is invalu able. As a harbor for our coasting trade, or inlet from the winter storm, or from pirates, it is of the first importance. By holding it, Hatteras light may again send forth its cheering ray to the storm-beuten mariner, of which the worse than vandalism of the rebels deprives him. It has but one drawback, a want of good water. But that a condenser, like the one now in operation at Fortress Monroe, at a cost of a few hundred dollars, will relieve. I append to this report a tabular statement of the prises which have been taken into that inlet within a few dnys, compiled from the official documents captured with tho forts. I add hereto an official report of the Chief Engineer of tho Coast Defences of the rebels. Please find also appended a statement of the arms and ammunition of war captured with the fort, as nearly as they can he ascertained. While all have donn well, I desire to speak in terms of especial com mendation, in addition to those before mentioned, of the steadiness and cool courage of Colonel Max Webber, whom we wore obliged to leave in command of a detachment of three hundred men on a strange coast, without camp equi page, or possibility of aid, in the face of an onemy 600 strong, on a dark and stormy night; of Lieut. Col. Weiss, who conducted a reeonnois sance of twenty men; of the daring and prompt efficiency of Capt. Nixon, of the Coast- Guards, who, with his men, occupied Fort Clark during the first night, although dismantled, in the fuce of an enemy of unknown numbers. I desire to com mend to your attention Capt. Jardine, of tho Non- York Ninth, who was left in command of the de tachment of his regiment, when the unfortunate casualty to the Harriet Ztane prevented Col. Han kins from landing. Permit me to speak of the efficiency of the re gulars under Lieutenant Larncd. who worked zealously in aiding to land their comrades of the volunteers, overwhelmed with the rolling surf. I wish specially to make acknowledgments to Messrs. Weigel and Durviage, volunteer aids, who planted the American flag upon Fort Clark on the second morning, to indicate to the fleets 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 made 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 Captain Hngerty, who was employed in visiting the prizes in the harbor while we wero agreeing upon the terms of eapitulation. Of the services to tho country of the gentlemen of the navy firoper I may not speak, for no one should praise when he has no right to censure, and they will be appropriately mentioned, I doubt not, by the commander, who is capable of appreciating their good conduct, hut I am emboldened to ask permission, if the Department shall determine to occupy the point as a permanent post, that its same may be changed by general order from Fort Hatteras to Fort Stringham. But of those gen tlemen who served under my immediate corn made I make honorable mention, as I have done before, of the zealous, intrepid, and untiring action of Lieut. Crosby, who took an armed canal boat, the steam-tug Fanny, from Fort Monroe to Hatte ras Inlet, in order that the expedition might have the aid of a steamer of the lightest draught. Captain Shuttleworth, of the marine corps, de serves well for liis loyalty and efficiency, in his ac tive detachment of marines. Much of the success of the expedition is dua to the preparation of the transport service, by Commander Stellwagen, and the prompt presence of mind with which he took the troops from their peril when the Adelaide touched on the bar, is a rare quality in an officer in danger. Al though Captain Faunce, of the Pawnee service, now in command of the Harriet Latte, was un fortunate enough to get his vessel on one of the numerous sand bars about the inlet, it happened, I believe, in consequence of a determina tion creditable in him to aid me, by being near to cover the troops in landing. Captain Lon-ey, who had the George Peabody in chargo, brought in his vessel with safety, with the troops,' who were pleased with his care and conduct. He still re mains at the Inlet. In fine, General, I may con gratulate you and the country upon a glorious victory in your department, in which was captured more than seven hundred men, twenty-five pieees of artillery, a thousand stand of arms—a large quantity of ordnance stores, pro visions, three valuable prizes, two light boats, and four stand of colors, one of which lind been presented within a week, by the ladies of New bern, N. C., to the North Carolina Defenders. By the goodness of that Providence which watches over our nation, no one of the fleet or army was in the least degree injured. The enemy’s loss was not officially reported to us, but was ascertained to bo twelve or fifteen killed and died of wounds, and thirty-five wounded. I also enclose herewith the official report of tho rebel wounded, by Dr. AVm. M. King, of the United States storeship Supply. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Benj.

The General and Commander afterwards visited General Scott, the Secretary of the Navy, and General McClellan. On Sunday evening a serenade was given to Gc neral Butler, at Willards’ Hotel, when lie responded as follows: Fellow Citizens : I am, by far, too much com plimented by this expression of your kind regards, and I take it to be a compliment to the cause which we all love, and for which any of us are ready at this hour to lay down our lives. It cau be no mere personal congratulation, no more regard for one whom accident made a participator in an event which I hope will have some effect on the future of our country’s history; but it is the result of tho love you feel to the Union we cherish and the Con stitution we defend. [Cheers.] Were it any de gree personal it would not belong to me, it would belong to the gallant navy, under tho command of Commodore Stringham, whose hands were mainly successful In achieving the result which you seem so much to welcome. Oh, it was glorious to see that arm of the Union stretched out against its re bellious children! Would that you could hare stood, as I did. on the deck of one of the smaller vessels and seen the I Vabash, the Minnesota , and the Cumberland go into action; and then, looking afar off on the deep blue sea and observe tho Su.i gnehannah, which, by accident, hearing the firing, came uj> to have her share "in what resulted in a glorious victory, [cheers,] and as the cannon roared out, one after another, a rebuke to treason, it was music such as would lengthen a man’s life long years to hear. [Cheers.] It canio out that on the first day’s cannonade the forts, which seemed from the distance, in the cloud of smoke, to be but one, was silenced, and the rag of Secession onme down. We had supposed there had been a surrender, and measures were taken-to ascertain that fact. The Monticcllo stood in, with the Harriet Lane, for the purpose of making it certain, when, treacherously, the larger fort open ed npon her, andsucceeded in inflicting some injury upon tho navy, striking the Tessel in eight places. The threatening aspect of the weather made it ne cessary for us to draw off, leaving upon the land, under the command of Colonel Weber, of the New l'ork Twentieth, who fought for the land of his adoption as he would fight for tho old fatherland of Germany—leaving, Isay, three hundred and fifteen of the United States troops upon the rebel shore, with seven hundred and over of the enemy en trenched within five hundred yards of them, there to bivouac under a cloudy sky, without tcnts| with out provisions, and without any of the appliances necessary for safety or comfort, save strong hands and brave hearts, [cheers;] and, my friends, it was an unxious night for those who had to remain os board in the efforts made to get into the offing, against the treacherous gales of Hatteras, in order to make themselves safe for the morrow’s contest. In the morning the fleet came into action, and, at the moment of the landing of the remainder of tho troops, a white flag appeared upon the ram parts of the largest fort, and it was my fortune to go forward and receive tho first prelimina. ries of the surrender of one who was once looked upon as an ornament to the navy which he had at tempted to disgrace, and to which he was obliged to surrender. And I think Ido no more than right when I here publicly speak his name, so that it may be forever remembered, not as a disgraee to the navy, but as a monument of its triumph,— Commodore Barron—late of the United States navy. He surrendered his sword drawn against the Union to Commodore Stringham, now flag officer of the Atlantic blockading squadron. With him sur rendered seven hundred and fifteen men, his asso ciates, and they are now on the flag-ship Minne sota, on their way to Fort Lafayette, in New York, having surrendered unconditionally as prisoners of war. With them were taken thirty pieces of can. non, and one thousand stand of arms, camp equi page, such as the rebels had, and it was scanty cnongh at that. [Laughter.] Provisions resonu ble sufficient, munitions of war enough to have made a stouter defence if the position had been to them at ail tenable. We retook a brig loaded with that which they wished should l-cign over us—cot ton. [ Cheers and laughter. ] Another prize brig, which had been taken from our mer chants, two lightboats, stolen from the shoals where they had been placed by the Govern ment to warn the mariner of the danger, and a Echooner loaded with the only product of North Carolina, besides rebellion, pitch - pine wood. | T.nughter. j Such were the results of the gallant navy, assisted as well as might be by tbe army of the United States. Such I trust is but the begin ning of a series of triumphs for that navy which has rendered the names of Decatur, Baiubridge, Perry, and Macdonough among tho brightest lights of our country’s history. | Cheers.] It would not be unbe coming in me, I trust, now and here, as an humble volunteer officer in the United States army, to say that the aspersions upon the naVy have been to my knowledge in a great degree unjust. Remember ing in what condition the Secessionists are, without a navy, and now long it takes to organize one, and that our navy was substantially disorganizod at tile time this rebellion broke out, when you ask why have we not organized the navy sooner, I an swer by saying why have not the Southern States organized some portion of the navy other than by stealing steamers from those who know how to build them '< [Laughter.] They have nothing of tho sort. Why, then, expect impossibilities from the Government in any of its departments? I only wonder that such a progress has been made in organizing a navy. It is a progress that has no equal in the history of the world. Here we make our beginning. AVe have had our reverses. Upon one occasion a panic overtook our troops; but Ido not hesitate to say that until some man shall show me troops who have never been overtaken by a panic, I shall not believe that the fact is evident of a want of courage; and hereafter, with our troops, backed by the navy and our faithful old ally of the North, Jack Frost—[laughter] who shall come and clear away the malaria of the South, we shall march Southward, as I said here not many weeks ago, from this place, and there shall be no footsteps backward until this rebellion is crushed out of this Union, and every man at the South shall have that which the Declaration of In dependence says, and which the Secessionists quote. “Tho right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” [Cheers.] And now, my friends, I do not know how I may more properly take leave of you than by calling for three cheers for the gallant navy of the United States. [Loud cheers.] General Butler retired amidst the most enthusi astic cheering, mingled with the music of tho band. AVhat .the; Kentucky Traitors are Doixc.— A Lexington correspondent of the Louisville Jour- \ nal of the 29th, says: It is understood amongst ; some of the active Secessionists here, that 6,000 stand of arms have been obtained by.EE.
