HARRISBURG, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1861.
Report of General Butler.
The following is the report made to General
Wool by General Butler :
U. S. FLAG SILIP MINBLOOTA,
• August 30, 1861.
Gravartat—Agreeably to your orders I em
barked on the transport steamers Adelaide and
George Peabody; 600 of the Twentieth regi
ment New York volunteers, Col. Weber com
manding ; 220 - of the Ninth nigiinent New York
volunteers, Col. Hankins ; 100 of the Union
Coast Guard, Capt. NiBDA ding ; 60 of
the Second U.l. artillery; ut. Lemuel com
manding, as a force to opera* in conjunction
with the fleet underc-flag Officer RI - Ingham,
against the rebel forte at Hatteras Inlet.
We.WtO6cirtraati../1 on Monday,. at, a
seoloek P. ti., and =the husistshill - ot-stittr fleet ar
rived off Hatterasltilebabottlio'cltrick. on Tues
doy afternoon. t
Such preparations as 'were pble for the
landing were made in the evening, andat day
light next morning, dispositions were made for
an attack on the forts by the fleet, and for the
landing of the troops. Owing. to the preva
lence of south-west gales, a heavy surf was
breaking on the beach. Every effort was made
to land the troops, and after .about 816 were
landed, including 66 marines from the fleet and
the regulars, both the iron boats upon which
we had ctepended were swamped in the surf,
and both fiat boats stove,lltkid a brave attempt
being made by Lieutenant Crosby, of the U. S.
Army, serving as 'a Post Captain at Fortress
Monroe, who had volunteered to come down
with the steam tug Fanny, belonging to the
army, to land in a boat trom the war steamer
Pawnee, resulted in the beaching of the boat so
that she could not be got off.
It will be impracticable to land more troops,
because of the rising wind and sea.. °Fortunate
ly a 12 pound rifled bore gun, loaned us by the
flag-ship, and a 12 pound howitzer, were landed,
the last slightly damaged. Our landing was
completely covered by the shells of the Monti
cello and Harriet Lane. I was on board the
latter, directing the disembarcation of the
troops by mearis of signals, and was about land
ing with them at the time the beaks were stove.
We were induced to ,rleskiat from further at
temps at landing troops by the rising of the
wind; and because, 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 flog Was also struck.
Supposing this to be a signal of surrender, Col.
WEBER advanced his troops, already landed,
upon the beach. ' • •
The Harriet Lane,
by my direction, tried to
cross the bar to get into the smooth water of
the inlet, when' a fire was' opined upon the
Monticello which had pia:ceded In advance of
us from the other fort. Several shots struck
her, but without causing any carnality, as I am
informed. So well convinced were the officers
of the Navy and Army that the forts had sur
rendered at this time, that the Susquehanna
had towed the, frigate Cumberland to an offing.
The fire was then re , opened lasetiltere was no
signal from either) upons.hath itartes. -49.. the
meantime, a few men from the Coast Guard had
advanced up the beach with Mr. Wiegel, who
was acting as volunteer aid, and whose gallant
ry and services I wish to commend, and took
possession of the small fort, which was found to
have been abandoned by the enemy, and raised
the American flag, thereon.
It had become necessary, in consequence of
the threatening appearance of the, weather, that
all the ships should make an offing, which was
done with reluctance from necessity, thins leaving
the troops upon shore, a part in possession.of
the small fort (about 700 yards from-the large
one) and the rest bivouacked upon the beach,
near the place of landing, about two miles north
of the forts.
Early 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 reinforcements for the
enemy ; but she was prevented from landing by
Captain Johnson, of the Coast Guard, who had
placed the guns from the ship and a 8-pounder
from the enemy in a small sand battery, and
opened fire upon the rebel steamer.
At eight o'clock the fleet opened fire again,
thellag ship being anchored asnear as the water
allowed, and the other ships - coming gallantly
into action. It was evident, after a few experi
ments, that our shot fell short. An increased
length of fuse was signalled, and the firing com
menced with shell of fifteen seconds' fuse. I
had Beat Mr. Fiske, acting aid-de-camp, on shore
for the purpose of gaining intelligence of the
movement of the troops and of the enemy.
a 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 up the beach and a signal was
made for the flag ship to cease firing. •
As the Fanny rounded in over the. bar, the
rebel steamer Winslow went up the channel,
having a large number of secession troops on
board, which she had not landed. We threw a
shot at her from the Fanny, but she proved to
be out of range. I then sent Lieutenant Crosby
on shore to demand the meaning of the white
flag. Tne beat soon returned with the memo
randum from Commodore Barron, (already
given,) and a verbal communication stating that
he had in the fort 618 *men, and 1,000 more
within a few hours call, but that he was anx
ious to spare the effusion of blood. To both
the written and verbal communications I made
the reply ; (inserted in otheraiespatches.)
After waiting three quarters of an hour,
Lieutenant Crosby returned,. bringing with him
Captain Barron, Major Andrews and Colonel
Martin, of the rebel forces, who on being re
ceived on board the tug Fanny, informed me
that they had accepted the terms proposed in
my memorandum.
I informed them that as the expedition was a
combined one, that the surrender 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 ports with all the men and munitions of
war, inspected the troops to see that the arms
had been properly surrendered, marched them
out, and embarked them on board the Adelaide,
and marched my own men into the fort and
raised our flag upon it amid the cheers of our
men and a salute of 13 guns which been shot
tod by the enemy. •
The embarkation of the wounded, which was
conducted with great care, from a temaorary
wharf erected for the purpose, took so long that
night that it was impossible for the pilots to
take the Adelaide over the bar, thereby caus
ing delay.
I may mention in this connection that the
' Adelaide, in carrying In'the*pa at the trio
' meat that my terms of Capitilithin were.under,
'consideration by the enemy, bad grounded" on
the bar, but by the active and judicious exer
tions of Commander Stellwa2en, after the same
delay, was got off.
At the same time, the Harriet Lane, in an
attempt to enter the bar had grounded. and re
mained fast. Both were under the guns of the
fort. This, to me, was a moment of the great
est anxiety. By these. accidents a valuable
ship of war and a transport steamer, with a
large portion of Inv troops on • boLd,• were
within the power'of the enemy. - • '
I had demanded the •strongest terms which
he was considering, He might refuse, and,
seeing our disadvantage, renew the action.--'.:
But I determined not to abate a tittle of what I
believed to be due to the dignity of the tGov
enitnent, not even to give an official title to the
°Meer iu command of the rebtlßesides, , my
tug,was in the Inlek_and lea stoolllW caul

Upon taking possessions of Fort Hatteras, I
found that it mounted ten guns- with four yet
unmounted, and one large ten-inch colutabiad
all ready for mounting,"Dappend the official
muster roll of Col. Martin, furnished by .him,
of the officers and ruen oaptpred brus.
The position of the fort is an exceedingly
strong one, nearly surrounded on all sides by
water, and only to be approached by a match
of 600 yards circuitously over' a. long neck of
sand, within half mustket raw., and over a
causeway a few feet only in width, and which
watriximmanded by two thirty-two pound guns
loaded with grape and canister which was ex
pended in our salute. -
It had a well protected magazine and bomb
proof capable of sheltering soma three or four
hundred men. TheySacepst wat nearly of an
octagon form, enclosing about two-thirds of an
&creel' ground, covered with safficirett traverses

but little impression. . •

I laud all the troops on shore atithe time of.

regulars and.marinle. I disembarked the pro
visions, making With the atores captured, about ,
five days' rations for, the use of the troupe. On
Consultation with Flag Officer Stringham and
Commander Stellwagen, I deterinined , to leave

From there the whole coast of Virginia and
North Carolina, from Norfolk to Cape Lookout,
la Withlit our reach by light-draft vessels, which
cannot possibly live at sea during the winter
months. From It, offensive operations may be
made upon the whole coast of North Carolina to
Boque Inlet, extending many miles inland to
Washington, Newbern and Beaufort.
In the language of the Chief Engineer of the
rebels, Col. Thompson, in an official report, "It
is key of the Albermarle. In my judgment, it
is a station second in importance only to Fort
ress Monroe, on this coast ; as a depot for coal
ing and supplies ior the blockading squadron,
it is invaluable. 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 beaten ma
riner, of which the worse than vandalise' of the
Rebels deprive him. It has but one drawback,
a want of good water ; but that a condenser,
like the , one now in operation at Fortress Mon
roe, at a cost of a few buttered dollars, will re
lieve: I append to this report a tabular state
ment of the prizes which have been taken into
that Inlet within a few days, compiled from the
official report of the Chief Engineer of the 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 be ascertained.
While all have done well, I desire to speak
in terms of special commendation in ad
dition to those before mentioned of the steadi
ness and cool courage of Col. Max WEBER, who
we were obliged to leave in command of a de
tachment of three hundred men on a strange
coast; without camp equipage dr possibility of
aid, in the face of an enemy 600 strong on a
dark and stormy night ; of Lieutenant-Colonel
Wilms, who conducted a reconnoiasance of twen
ty men ; of the daring and prompt efficiency of
Capt. Nixes, of the Coast Guards, who with his
men occupied Fort Clark during the first night,
although dismantled, in the face of an enemy
of unknown numbers. I desire to commend to
your attention Captain JARDINE, of the New
York Ninth, who wig left in command of the
detachment of his regiment, when the unfortu
nate casualty of the Harriet Lane prevented
Colonel Hawsnis from: landing.
' Permit me to speak of the efficiency of the
regulars under Lieut. Lamed, who worked zeal
ously in aiding to land , their comrades of the
volunteers, overwhelmed with the rolling surf.
I wish especially 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 fleet
its surrender, and to prevent the further wast
ing 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 shoie to carry my orders to the troops
landed, and lo apprise them of the movements
and intentions of the fleet. Also, my thanks
for the valuable aid of Captain Hagerty; who
was employed in visiting the prizes in the har
bor while we were agreeing upon the terms of
capitulation.
Of the services to the country of the gentle
men of the navy proper I may not speak, for no
one should praise when he has no right to cen
sure, and they will be appropriately mentioned,
I doubt not, by the commander, who is capable
of appreciating their good conduct, but I am
emboldened to ask permission, if the. Depart
ment shall determine to occupy the point as a
permanent post, that its name may be changed
by general order from Fort Hatteras to Fort
Stringham.
Bat of those gentlemen who served under my
immediate command, I make honorable Men
tion, as I hays done before, of the zealous intre
pid and untiring action of Lieutemuit Crosb
who triok 14" aimed el*, bcsi4 "gut rdeaul4o,:t;

a steamer of the lightest drat.
Capt. Shutt*worth, ofthe Marine Corps, de
serves well forlis loyalty snd, efficiency in his
active detatchnient of marines.
Mach of the success of the vxpedition is due
to the preparation of the transport service by
Commander Stellwagen, :and the prompt pros
ence of mind , with which- he took the troops
from their peril, when the Adelaide touched on
the bar, is a rare'quality ht an officer in danger.
Although Captain Fannhei , of the Pawnee,
now, in command of the lispiet Lane,
was unfortunate enough to get his vessel on
one of the numerous sand bars about this inlet
it happened, I believe, ireconeinnetteasf

in &age, brought * his vessel with safety,

and conduct. Herstilli remains at the inlet.
_ . .
In fine, Genius* I may congratulate you and
the country upon a glorious victory in your de
partment, In which we captured more ' tban
seven hundred men, twenty-five pieces °Paha
lery, a thousand stand of arms, a large greti*y
of ordnance stores, provisions, three valuable
prises, two light-boats and four stand of colors,
one of which had been presented within a week,
by the ladies of Newborn, N. 0., to the North
Carolina. Defenders. By the goodness of that
Providence which watches over our nation, no
mkt 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 be twelve or fif
teen killed and died of wounds, and thirty-live
