A splendid and decisive blow has been struck on the @oast of North Carolina by the combined naval and land forwes of the Union, which surpasses in importance any- thing yet accomplished against the enemy. A piratica) nest, long the terror of the merchant, has been effectually broken up and destroyed. Victory has @rowned our flag. Your special correspondent has this moment arrived from the scene of contest at Hatteras In- tet, North Carolina, which he left Friday afternoon, with General Butler and staif, in the steamer Adelaide, under @ommand of Commander H. 8. Stillwagen, U. 8. N., touch- fg for asbort time at Fortress Monroo, thence to Anna- Polie and Washiugton. ‘The expedition, consisting of the frigates Minnesota, Commodore Stringham in command of the expedition; ‘Wabash, Captain Mercor; the gunboats Pawnee, Cuptain Rowan; Montic lo, Commander Gillis, and the Harriet Lane, Captain Faunce; with the transports Adelaide and Geo. Peabody, conveying troops to the number ef about ® thousanil, left Fortress Monroe iast Monday, aud reached the rendezvous off Hatteras Inlet, fifteen miles Below Cape Hatteras, on Tuceday morning, the Minnesota ‘and Wabash coming in in the afternoon, and the Cumber- and joined the fleet the same day. ‘& Preparations were immediately made to land the troops thé following morning, at which tine to transports ran moar the beach, two tiles north of the Inlet, and covered By the Monticello, Harriet Lane and Pawnee. About ~-theey hundred mon wore landed through a heavy surf, fotce consisting of Capt: Larnei's company of regular Srtillery, Capt. Jardine’s company Ninth New York, two sompanies of the Twentieth New York, with Col. Weber ‘And Licut. Col. Heiss, a detachment of marines from the Gigates, under command of Majors Doughty and Shuttle. worth, and a detach:nent of sailors from the Pawnes, ander Lieuts. Crosby and Blue, with Drs. King and Jones The gunboats swept the beach and neighboring copsé ef scrub oaks. Al! the boats being swan p.d and bi ged tm the surf, no more men could be thrown ashore. Mean- while, the Minnesota and Wabash—the latter with the Camberiand in tow—steamed up to the front of one of the #ebel baiteries and took their position at iong range, At ten o'clock th» Wabash fired the first gun, the sleven-inch shell striking near the battery and bursting with tremendous force, The battery, which was of sand, 2overod with turf and mounting five long thirty-two’, in- Mantly returve! the fire, (hoshot ‘a ing short, The Min- ‘egota and Cumberland immediately opened fire and rained ‘Wine and eleven inch shell into and about it. The fire was ferriflc, aud soon the battery's responses were few and far between, save when tho frigates suspended fire for a while to get a new position, when the enemy’s fire was most spirited. No dam ge was sustained by our ships, and when they again took their position the cannonading was intensely bot, the shelis dropping in the enemy’s works or falling du the ramparts, exploding in death dealing fragments amd carrying death and destruction with them. The a te NEW YORK TERALD, with her riflod guna, did good execution, several projec. tiles from the eight-inch shell going into the battery, and one going directiy through the ramparts. The fire was ‘80 hot that all of the enemy that could do go got into * bomb-proof in the middle of the battery. Finally, at five minutes past eleven A. M.,an eleven- inch shell, having pierced the bomb-proof through a v_n- ‘iator and exploded inside near the magazine, the enemy gave up the fight and raised over the ramparts @ white We immediately ceased fire. Gen, Butler went into the Inlet and landed at the furt aud demanded an uncon- ditional surreader, Commodore Barron, Assistant Secretary of the Con- federate Y. asked that the officers be allowed to mareh out with side arms,and the men be permitted to return to their homes after surrendering.ther arms, These terms were pronounced inadmissable by General Butler, and finally the force was surrendered without condition, Articles of stipulation were signed on the flagship by Commodore Stringhain and General Butler on the part of the United States, and by Commodore Barron, © ione! Martin and Major Andrews on the rebel side, and the lat- ters’ swords delivered up. By the surrender we came in possession of one thousand ‘stand of arms, thirty-tive heavy guns, ammunition for tho same, a large amount of hospital and other stores, two schooners—one loaded with tobacco, and tho vther with Provisions; one brig loaded with cotton, two lightboats, two surf boats, &c, ‘The enemy's Joss they allow to be eight killed and ¢hir- ty-flve wounded, Eleven of the latter were left at the hospital at Annapolis, We took forty-five officers prisoners, many of high rank | among whom were:— Commodore Samuel Barron, late Captain United States Navy, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Colone} Bradford, Chief of Ordnance, Colonel Martin, Seventh North Carolina Volunteers. Lieutenant Colonel Johnston, Seventh North Carolina Volunteers, Major Henry A. Gillman, Seventh North Carolina Volun- teers. Major Andrews, artillery, late United States Army. Lieutenant Sharp, late United States Army, And several others, lite army and navy officers, and six hundred and sixty-five non-commissioned officers and privates, The prisoners are on board the Minnesota, and will be carricd to New York, where you may expect them ina 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 men retain possession of botn forts. I forgot to mention that Lieutenant Murdangh, late o¢ the United States Navy, had his arm shot off, but escaped with othors, in steamers that waited in the Sound, out of range of our cannon, until the forts surrendered, when they escaped, with three privateer schooners, down the Sound. T regret to add that the Harriet Lane, on Thursday while attempting to enter the hilt, went ashore, and though guns, Ac., were heaved overboard she had nov been got of when we Kft. She is somewhat strained, bat makes no water, and strong hopes were entertained of getting her safely off if no storm sete in, She is in the breakers. Your correspondent was on board at the time she got ashore. Fortunately no lives were lost, though several boats going to her assistance were swamped. We shall hear from her in a day or two again, Gen. Butler and aid came by special train to the city to- night, and immediately called on the Secretaries of Navy and War. NEWS FROM THE REBEL STATES. REIGN OF TERROR IN THE SOUTH. CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN MEMPHIS, TENN, A geutioman who leit Memphis, Tenn. , August 17, hav- ing had the good fortuné to ubtain a pass to return North from the rebel States, reports the state of affairs in Memphis as almost beyond the power of imagina- tion to conceive. His statement, nearly in his own words» is as follows:—Owing tw the sickness of my brother—who was ons Of the guilerers of the steamer Charmer—I was enabled to obtain a pass to carry him to his wife in. the North, and but tor it | would now, most probably, have ‘been found in the rebel service. As it war, during my stay in Memphis I was forced to go through ‘a course of 4s)\\ing—one hour in the morning and two hours in the eftencon.

Men who have livea in the city of Memphis for years, pooperty owness and slave owne:s, have, i) many cases, had their heads thaved, and boon tarred avd feathered and sent’ North, their only offence being that they were “damned Yankees,’’ and of course “damned abolitionists at heart.” 1 know of one case of a young man who was taken from his piave of .busincss, one halt of bis head, mostache and whiskers sh tar and feathers put on in their place, and he was then shipped, en route for the North, and ali of his pr fiscated.

The Camp of Brigadicr General Viele st Scarsdale, Westchester County—Pro- gress in the Instruction of Our Volun- teers—Our Soldiers to be Disciplined Be- fore Taking the Fiecld—Other Camps of Instruction in Comemplation—Biogra- phical Sketch of General Viele, &c., &e. When hostilities commenced in April last the idea was conceived of establishing throughout the country large military camps for instructing troops, preparatory to sending them into active service, but the urgency o¢ events, and the immediate necessity which suddenly arose for concentrating vast numbers of men at Washington for the protection of the national capital, compelled its abandonment, or rather its neglect until the present time, The project has now been inaugurated by the éstabliebment of one of these camps near Scarsdale in Westchester county. This village or hamlet, though possessing a ‘local habi~ tation and a namo,” consists of only two houses—a@ barn and the railroad depot—and is situated about twenty-two miles from New York, on the line of the Harlem Raltroad. A road striking from the village towards the east and ascending through a country of beautifully diversified scenery, leads to the camp, which is about two miles dis- tant. Its isolation frum New York is thus an important feature, as it will seclude the men from the dissipation and pernicious influences of the city, The camp, which has been denominated Camp Lyon, in commemoration of the gallant general of Missouri, is located on an elevated plateau commanding a view of the waters of Long Island Sound to the east, and the l’alisade® onthe Hudson to the West, while to the northeast a gradual slope conducts to the valley of the Bronx river at @ point used at one time for a mill dam. In the witers of this placid stream the men are afforded a delight” ful bathing place, while a fow yards to the west are located a couple of springs which yield excellent water for the uses of the camp. To the north again a dense wood stretches away, and in it an opportunity is given to drill the men in ekirmishing work, while its cool shade forms a pleasant retreat when the soldiers are in- termitted from camp duty, Within the central portion of this plateau the I'm'ts of the camp extend, comprising a space of ground large enough to contain the tents and permit the manouvring of from ten to fifteen thor d mep.

He has been one of the most faith- ful ofticere in ths Custom Honse building, and was ef§courre removed solely on political grounds.” It is very remarkable, however, that Mr. Dennison should have exe: cised his rerogative at a time when the distin- guished brother of Judge 1. has, regardless ef old poliiti- cal associations, been doing all in his power to uphald the hinds of that gove nment from which Mr. Deanison de- rives his very liberal support.

The election right, as faras it may be exercised here, for the organization of the “Ayunta- mienio” or chief municipa) counci}, and for such officials as are immediately associated with the assessment and collection of taxes, and their application for the public benefit, is well guarded by the government, and is ex ercised in this wise;—The government selects thirty-five- individuals from each of three classes of the people to | form the college or board which is to elect for them the | ‘most important officers, as I have recited. The lists of the names are published, #0 that if there is any reasonable ob,ection to be made to any one it can be entertained, and another substituted, if just cause is found. The first class of thirty-five persons, derived by selection from | those holders of real estate, in city or country, who pay | the largest taxes into the treasury; the seeond thirty-five, } of those persons who are the heaviest tax contributors among those engaged in common arts, or apy branch of! industry; third, the heaviest taxpayers among the pro- | fessions—the poorest in classiication—although many are relieved from the condition by being embraced among the two previous classes. In thie way our whole people are fairly represented, and the members can, if they choose, act uninfluenced by the authority in the coliege which they compose—106 meinbors—under the Presidency of the Captain General, or other officer solected by him. The second election, under the new law is now being prepared for by publica. tion of the lists of electors.
