V81llKO10N, August 31
A splendid ind deeisiva bio bas been
truck oo the coast of forth Carolina by the
combined Uvl and lahifurcei of tho Union,
which inrpssses in iiiipdrnrfJc' uytbiog jet
accomplished agaioat bk enemy.
A, piratical next, long the terror of tbe
merchant, has been efleciaall broken op and
destroyed. Victory has crowned our ting.
Yoor special correspondent has this moment
arrived from tbe sceaa of contest at Hat terns
Inlet, North Carolina, which he left oo Fri
Jay afternoon, with (jenetal liutler and staff,
In lb steamer Adelaide, uniler command of
Uommandef H. 8 Slellwagen, U. H Navy,
touching for short time at Fortress Monroe,
tbeoca to Annapolis an J Washington.
Tbe etpedilion, consisting of the frigates

ma oJ ot tha expedition; Wabash, CupUia
Mercer; tbe gunboats I'awnoe, Captain
Rowan; Montieello, Commander Uillis, and
the Harriet Lane, Captain Fauuce; with the
transports Adelaide and George IVabodj,
conveying troups'to the number of about a
thousand, lufl Fortress Monroe lust Monday,
etid reached the rendezvous off llatterag
lulet, tiltueu miles below Cupe llattems, on
Tuesday morning, the Minnesota and Wa
bash coming in in tbe afternoon, and tbe
Cumberland joined the fleet the same day.
Preparations were immediately made to
land the troops the following morning, at
which time the transports ran near the beach,
two miles north of the Jnlel, and covered by
the Monticello, Harriet I.aue nnd Pawnee.
About three hundred men were landed
through a heavy surf, the force coosieting of
Captain Larced's Company of regular artil
lery, Captain Jardine's company Ninth New
York, two companies of the Twentieth New
Yorlt, with Colonel Weber aud Lieutenant
Colonel Ueiss; a detachment of marines
from the frigates, under command of Majors
Doughty aud Shultleworth, and a detach
nieot of Sailors from the Pawnee, under
Lieutenants Crosby and blue, with Doctors
Kin it and Jones.
The gun boats swept the bench and neigh'
boring copse or scrub oaks. All the bouts
being swetuped and bilged io the surf, no
more men could be tbrowo ashore. Mean'
while, the Minnesota and Wabaeb tbe latter
with the Cumberland in tow steamed up to
the Trout of one of tbe Rebel batteries and
took their position at long range.
At ten o'clock the Wabash bred the first
gun. the eleven-inch shell striking near the
buttery and bursting with tremendous force.
Tbe buttery, which was of sand, covered with
tarf aod mounting five long thirty two's,
instantly returned the tire, the shot fulling
short. The Minnesota sod- Cumberland
immediately opened fire, and rained nine and
eleven inch shell into and about it. The fire
was terrific, aod soon the battery's responses
were few aud far between, save when the
frigates suspended fire for a while to get a
new positioo, when tbe enemy's Ere was most
spiritud. .
No damage was sustained by our ships, and
vi lieu tbey again took their position the can
nouadinu was intensely hot, tbe shells drop
ping in the enemy's works or fulling on the
ramparts, exploding in death-dealing frag
uieuts aod carryiug death and destruction
with them. The small wooden structures
about the fort were torn aud perforated with
flying shells At eleven o'clock the immense
Bdgslutl was shot away, and tbe Rebel flag
came down, but tbe lire was still continued
by tbem.
At twelve o'clock the Susquehanna steam
ed iu, and, dropping her boats astern, opened
en effective tire. The cannonading on our
part was iucessant, and the air was alive wilb
the buiu and explosion of flying shell ; but
the enemy did uot return tbe fire with any
regularity, the buttery being to hot for them,
from the explosion of shells that dropped in
at tbe rate of about a hulf dozen a minute.
The enemy ceased firing a little before two,
aud alter a lew more shells hud been thrown
in the Commodore signalized to cease
firing.
The troops had meantime advanced to
with Q short distance of the fort, and before
we ceased firing some of our men get in and
raided the Slurs and Stripes. Tbe place was
too hot for the men. but the flag was left
waving Coxswain Hetijamin Hneares, of the
Pawnee's first cutter, stood for some time on
tbe ramparts wuviug the flag amid a flight of
shell, nwu tbe bring ceased the fort was
occupied iu force and bald afterwards.
The .Monticello hud proceeded ahead of tbe
land force to protect them, und hud reached
lha itilet when a large fort, si an octagon
him pi-, to the rear and right of the small hat
tiry. mounting ten thirty two's and foureight
inch gun?, which hud nil then been silent,
opened on her with t-iiibl guns at short range.
A I the smie instant sbe got aground, and
etuck fast, the i-tn-my pouring in a fire, hot
and heavy, which the M ouliceilo replied to
with shell sharply. Fur fifty minutes slut
held her own, und finally getting off the
ground she came out, having been shot
through aud through by seveo eight inch
shell, one going below the water line, She
iirid filly five shell iu filly minutes, and
partially silenced the liatiery. 6 ha with'
dr-w at dusk for repain, with one or two
men slightly bruisud, but none killed or
wounded
The escape of the vessel and crew was
miraculous. Until this time we supposed
the ilty was ours; but tbu unexpected open
ing of the large battery rather changed the
aspect of affairs. Things did not look cheer
ful ut dark. We bad men ashore who were
probably in need ol provisions, and in case of
u night attack no assistance could be sent
tliem from the Harriet Lane. As we lay
close in shore we saw tbe bright 't-vouac fires
on the beach, wnh groups of men about
them. The night passed without an alarm,
the enemy, es we have sim-e learned, laying
on their arms all eight, expecting an at
tack.
At early daybreak on Thursday, tbe men
went to quarters in the fleet, and at quarter
past eight, the vessels having borne dowo
nearer than the previous day's position, the
action begao, the Susquehanna opeuing the
day's work by a shell from one of the eleven'
inch guos. Tim Minnesota and Wabasb
joined in immediately, aud again the bum of
shell aud their explosion were beard. Tbsy
fired nearly half an bour before tbe battery
responded, when it answered briskly. Our
fire was mora correct than on the previous
day. The range had been obtained, and
oeuily every shot went into tho battery,
throwing up clouds of sued, aod exploding
with terrific effect.
At twenty-five minutes past ten the Har
riet Lane opened fire, and soon after the
Cumberland -came in from the offing and
joined in the attack. The Harrriet Lane,
with her rifled guns, did good execution,
several projectiles from tbe eight inch shell
going into the battery, and one going directly
through the ramparts. Tbe tire was so bot
that all of the enemy that could do so got
into a bomb-proof in the middle of tbe bat
tery. Finully, at five minutes past eleven,
A. M., an eleven inch shell having pierced
the bomb-proof through a venlilutor and
xploded inside oeur lha magazine, the ene
my gave op the fight aud raised over the
rampart a wbil flag. We
immediately
ceased nre. ueo. (Sutler weut into the tolet
aud tanned at the lorl aud demanded ao
ooconditional surrender.
Commodore Barron, Assistant Secretary
of tbe Confederate Navy, asked that tbe offi-
cer be allowed to march out with side arms,
and tbe meu oe permuted to reluro to tbeir
Umss aftar oireokritg their wuis. Tbeit
terms wer? pronounced inadmissabte bf Geo,
liutler, and finally the force was surrendered
without rendition. Articlea of stipulation
were signed on the flagship by Commodore
feHringham and General Hntlnr on the part
of the United States, end by Commodore
Barron, Col. Martin and Major Andrews oo
the Rebel aide, aod tbe letters' swords deliv
ered Op.
By the surrender we came In possession of
one thousand stand of arms, thirty-five heavy
guns, ammunition for tbe eame, a large
amount of hospital and other stores, two
schooners one loaded with totiacco and the
bther with provisions one brig loaded with
cotton, two light'boats, two eurf'boais, io.
Tbe enemy's loss thry allow to be eight
killed and thirty -Ave wounded. Eleven ol
the latter were left at the hospital at Anna
polis. We took forty five officers prisoners,
many of high rank, among whom were s
Commodore Samuel liarron, late Captain
United estates Navy, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy.
Colouel Bradford, Chipf of Ordnance.
Colonel Martin, Seventh North Carolina
Volunteers.
Lieutenant-Colonel Johnston, Seveoth
North Carolina Volunteers.
Major Henry A. Gillmau, Seventh North
Carolina Volunteers.
Major Andrews, Artillery, late United
States Army.
Lieutenant Sharp, late United States
Army.
And several others, late army and navy
officers, and six hundred and sixty-five Don
commissioned officers and privates.
Tbe prisoners are on board the Minnesota,
and will be carried to New York, where you
may expect them io a few days.
Our victory was a complete and brilliant
one. We lost not a life, nor had we more
than one, if any, wounded. Our ttiea retain
possession of botb forts.
1 forgot to mention that Lieutenant Mur
daugh, late of the United States Navy, bad
his arm shot off, but escaped with others, in
steamers that waited in tbe Sound, out of
range or our cannon.
I regret to add that the Harriet Lane on
Thursday, while attempting to enter the
Inlet, went ashore, and though guns, Sit.,
were heaved overboard, f bo bad not been got
off when we left. She is somewhat strained,
but makes no wuter, aod strong hopes were
entertained of getting her safely off if no
storm sets in. She is io the breakers.
Your correspondent was on board at the
time she got ashore. Fortunately no lives
were lost, though severel boats going to her
assistance were swamped. W shall bear
from her in a day or two again.

the Dead at
Richmond, August 12.
Oo Monday our dead were buried or boxed
up, and sent bnuie for interment, und many
ol the enemy's wouuded wers brought in aud
attended to. All day oo Tuesday was devo
ted to burying the dead on the other side,
aud yet the work bad not been half finished
when 1 arrived on tbe field Wednesday
morning. So intolerable was the stench
arising from tbe dead, and especially from the
bursts, tbut our men bad been compelled to
suspeod tbeir humane labors. I did beat
that some of the prisoners we bad taken were
subsequently seul out und ordered to finish
tbe work, wbicb tbey did, though reluc
tantly. It was a sad eight tbe battle field that
day. Tbe euemy's dead still lay scattered in
every direotioo, and the silent vultures bad
begun to circle above them. Tbey were
well clad, aud were larger and stouter men
than ours. Nearly all of them were ijing
upon their backs, some of tbem with their
legs aud arms stretched out to tbe utmost.
Many bud their feet drawn up somewhat,
while tbeir arms, from the elbows, were
raised, and tbe bunds rather closed, after the
fashion of boxers. It wus a a singular and
yel the prevailing, attitude. Most of tbem
bud sandy or red liair, and 1 have observed
that tins ;s tbe predominant color among our
own soldiers. Those who were not killed
instantly, bad almost invariably torn open
their shirt collars, eud loosened their cloth
lug about the waist. There was another
mark iu addition to this, by which we could
tell whether tbeir death was sudden or
lingering. It was the color of the face. If
the body bad time to become cool and quiet
before deolh, the corpse was pale, though
not 60 much us those who die from disease.
Those who were killed instantly, however,
and while healed and excited, were purple
aud black in the face. In such cases tbe
blood being in full circulation, there was not
lime for it to returu to the heart before the
body had ceased all its functions. At least
1 suppose such is the explanation, and a
pbjsiciao con linns me in it.
Such of the poor wretches as bad been
buried were placea) in long ditches or trench
es, some times twenty or thirty io the same
trench. Of course it was impossible to
procure collius or boxes for them. Tbey
were laid away in tbe same attitude in which
they were found, aud in which their bodies
and limbs hud become stiff and rigid one
with his arms and legs stretched out, another
bent nearly double, a third with bis bauds
raised as described above. One poor fellow
had died with his arms clasped around a
small tree, and others with their hands clasp
ed lightly about their muskets or such twigs
or roots as with in tbeir reach. One was
found with bis Bible opened upon bis breast.
Some bad their bands crossed and tbu whole
body composed after the manner of a corpse.
A few were found upon whom there was not
the least wound or mark. Whether tbev
had died-frnm sun-stroke, or from exhaustion,
or simple fright, it was impossible to say,
though probably, it was from tbe first cause.
1 was glad to see that most of our owo
dead bad beeo buried upoo the battle ground
many of tbem where they bad fulleo. In
some instances those belonging to tbe same
company or regiment were gathered up and
buried oeur each other, each little hillock
being marked by a board or stoue wilb tbe
uainv of the hero cut upoo it.
Not the least interesting part of the battle,
field to Die was a body of thick woods, three
fourths of a mile iu the rear of this battery,
and skirting the road by which the enemy
bad approached from Sudly's Ford. A large
body of bis forces bad evideutly halted here
long enough to consult their haversacks. It
was a "hasty plale of soup," however, if one
may judge from the immense quantities of
bread aod other eatables left scattered upoo
tbe ground. Among other tbioge, I found
castors, mustard-boxes, pickle jars, pieces
ol tine glass ware, ale aod brandy bottles,
saveral oumbers of the New York Tribune,
various illustrated papers, political aud
religious tracts, and several pieces of flute
music. The officers bad evidently beeo hav
ing a good lunch preparatory to tbe grand
dinner they were to take at Manassas. A
little lurther oo 1 saw a mosquito net, which
j some boastful warior, mindful of bis rest, was
oouuiiess tuning along to be used among
the swamps aod lagoons of the South.
In the corner of a fence, and covered over
with leaves, I foood two splendid Collin's
axes, wilb leather coverings, or bolsters, for
the bludes. A large number of axes were
! cantured a part Derhona of th aewii
. thousand that were sent over from Washing
! too some weeks ago, by General Scott, to
hew a way to Richmond for bis grand army.
The fences throughout tbe battle field were
i toro dowo, io order to enable the men aed
horses to move with facility. The horses of
tbe eoemy were large and fine, end our sbn
iboo'.ers wfcte wry successful io ptcl i
them off. The groanrl roend tbe batteries,
wher the horses were for tbe most part
killed, was torn ead rent Into gullies by the
hnrstlog shells aod pluogiog balls from tbe
Confederate gone.

lowing significant paragraph t
"Our city is in mourning. 617 of mir beauti

A correspondent of tbe Bierls Tarls, the
government organ of France, writes from Tu

tant things health and huppinesa as the Ad-
Jjnatable Patent Steel Spring Saddle Horse, in-
venleu by .lesae A. Crandali, It is nut ilanger
ous, like a common rocking-borac, to children's
feet, cuntiot be upacl, does not wear carp'-ta, brC
stands firm on its base, and its action ia so liko
the gallop of a live horse that the child ucvor
wearies of it. This latest of child-novelties is cjt
eeedmgly elegant and artialic ill design ; and
ailjustable. substantial, and durable, lhat it will
last a lifetime. It is indispensable in every
family where there are children. Il should bo
iu every primary school and gymnasium in the
country, as it can be mode largo and strong
enough to sustain grown persona. As a pedeatnl
for photographic pictures, nothing is mure lieauli

children are coiinrepnted, should be furnished
with a number of these beautiful artielcs. They
are fitted with side-saddles when required."
DIRECTIONS FOR ADJUSTING. Open
the after part of the base sufficiently to allow the
axle to go,in its place ; then raise or lower the
Horse to suit you. Screw the bulls in the side
