The Puvuee steamed in shortly afterwards, with Captain Jarned’s company of artillery. At that time we had nog seen anything of the flagship Minnesota or the Wabash, and it was apparent to all that nothing was likely to be done that day. After steaming around @ little, a sail was descried to the eastward, which proved to be the frigate Cumberland, Captain Mar- ston, and which was towed to the rendezvous by tho Harriet Lane, While we were attaching a hawser to the ship, the Monticello ran off and brought to a schooner, under English colors, beating off the coast. She was ex- amined and allowed to depart. We towed the Cumber- land to the southard of the Cape. While proceeding to the rendezvous, we discovered a steamer coming out of Hatteras Inlet, and directing her course down the coast at as fast a rate as steam could propel her, “We were un- able to give chase, and the Monticello was then clear north, of us, manning towards the Minnesota and Wabash, which had just come in sight. ‘This was unfortunate, as the steamer was one of the privateers which had preyed upon our commerce, and we wanted her badly. The Minnesota and Wabosh arrived at the rendezvous at three o'clock P.M. The fleet then came to anchor, realy to respond to the Commodore's signal—“'To be on hand early in the morning.” I saw Genera) Butler and staffon the quarter deck of the Minnesota, and quite a number of other officers, who had come to take part in the performances of the mor: row. As I close my account of to-day’s proceedings, we lay rocking about ten miles from Hatteras Inlet, sur- rounded by the fleet. The weather is fair, and ‘gives promise of a glorious morrow. Orr Harrmras Iyuer, N. C., August 28, 1861. ‘This has been a busy and exciting day. We were al! aroused at daybreak to prepare for oporations. The morning was clear and pleasant, with a slight breeze and On board the fagship @ sea a8 smooth as a millpond. flow the general signal for al) ships to come within hail. Some sailboats and the smaller ships bore down and received their orders from the Commodore in regard to When we bore down we were ordered to speak the Adelaide and Peabody and request to follow the Monticello, while the Pawnce troops in the front and rear, General Butler and staff here came on board, We steamed slowly down towards the low, sandy beach, dotted here and there, on the seaside, with dead trees, that seemed to have been blasted by the ter- rifle war of elements waged about them, and thinly covered on the back side by serub oaks, that seemed to have fonnd little nutriment in the sterile soil, and pre~ senting one of the most desolate pictures one could imagine. This beach, stretching from Cape Hatteras in ® their respective duties, them was to attend to the covering of the southwesterly direction, where the breakers crash and roll to Hatteras Inlet, fifteen miles distant, was fringed vith the white foam of the surf that beats eternally and irre- sistibly upon it, Hore was to be our landing place. A spotabout three miles distant from the inlet, marked by the wreck of some huge vessel, was selected as affording the safest point for debarkation, The two dismasted schooners we had brought down were loaded with troops and towed near the wreck gud anchored, and the two from ‘the squadron, filed with soldiers, began to land the men, The surf was barkation was attended with the greatest danger. The iron surf boats, carrying each a iron surf boats, with other boat very high, and tho d company of men, entered the surf, and, narrowly es. caping @ caps rolling in torrents oy their sterns. The men were obliged to jump into the water, waist deep, and wade ashore, many of them being wet allover. A cutter from the Pawneo landed safely, retnrned to the schooner, took on board another toad Of men, but on entering the surf again was swamped, and all’on board barely escaped drowning. Tt was found impossible to get the iron surf boats out a every boat that went in was swamped and crushed by the surf.” With the above exception of the Pawnee’s cutter, in command of Lieu no boat that was sent in returned. After landiug about two hundred and fifty men, consisting of Capt. Jardino’s company, from the Toath New York; a detachment fram the Twentieth New York, under command of Col. Weber, Lieut.

Larned and Lieut. ——; a de nesota, with a howit command of Lieut, Blue, of the Pawnee, who had landed with some sailors from tho latter ship, all offorts to land more were given up. as iL was an niter impossibility with such boats as we had at onr command. While the troops were landing and forming under com- mand of Colonel Weber, the Harriet Lane, Monticetto and Pawnee were throwing shell in the woods to the right and left of them, and in their rear, to drive out any of the enemy that might be there. Meanwhile the Minnesota and Wabash, the latter having in tow the Cumberiand, steamed down towards the iniet, and took their positions at Jong range, off from a sand battery atits mouth. At ‘ument of marines feom the Min- ten o'clock’ the Wabash fired ‘a shell from her eleven inch gun forward, which seemed to strike in or near the batt throwing np the sand in clouds, and afterwards bursting with terrific force, with a detonation deeper and nearly as heavy as the re port of the gun itself. This was quickly followed by a second and third heavy gun, and the shells could be seen bursting high above the battery, leaving a white balloon- like cloud of smoke, and sending their fragments like hail upon them below. Immediately the Minnesota epencd fire, followed instantaneously by the Cumberland, the re- Forts of the guns following in qnick succession, and the shells exploding in, near and above the buttery, till the atmosphere was dense with somke, and tho buitory itself hidden from our view. With a glass I could plainty see the white pulls of smoke that denoted the bursting shell, at the battery, and as the wind would sometimes drift away the blue vail that obscured and covered the ships and battery we could sce the shell tearing throvgh the ramparts of the battery, and bursting with terrific effect init, The scene presented, while ail the frigates were pouring a scorching fire of shot and shell upon the battery , was such as is seldom witnessed. ‘The lightning glean of the guns, as they hurled the death dealing shot; the sharp, heavy report of the explosion; the hum of the shell and the whiz of the shot, followed by clouds of dust and Jond explosions, when the shells scattered their deadly fragments about them, and occasionally the sharp report of guna returning fire from the fort. All this, heighten. ed by the dense blue smoke that drifted in clouds before us, made up such a scene as was never before witnessed on this coart, After the cannonading had been going on abont two hours, the steam frigate Susquehanna came in from sea, dropped her boats astern, ond joined in the fray. She took a position on the left of the line, and lired hor heavy guns with great effect. was next on the right, and delivered her nine aml eleven inch shell with rapidity and precision, ‘The Wabush, oc- cupying a position between the tlagehip Minnesota and the Cumberland, kept up a hot fire, as did the facsbip, For one hour loner the four ships, mounting seventy six héavy gnns in broadside, showered upon the battery shell, and the fort ceased firing, and wag abandoned by | the enemy. About this time a party of men, consisting, as I have ¥ York) since loarved, of Lieut. Col.

A Jong the after the enemy had ceased to give us a gun the firing on our part coasod and the Commodore, thinking that the rebe's had been driven out, ordered the Monticello to follow vance of our troops along the beach, and prot p the ad breeze. A larger and much stronger fort, displaying no flag, perfectly silent, and to ail appearances perfectly vacant, tood to the rear of the first batiery, which it covers, not until the Monticello had got well into the inlet it give any signs of being occupied by the enemy. It Len opened fire with cigh) guns upon the ship, within a ‘ange of eight hundred yards, the balls passing over the Voese! like a storm. At the same instant the Moatieello struck heavily on areef, and remained fast. The Monti- cello opened fire instantly, which was continued for the Space of fifty minutes, during which time she threw Seventy-five shells into the battery, tho enemy returning the fire sharply. Finally the Monticello got off, und steamed out, fring a fow shells as parting comp!i- nents. She was badly damaged, though, in the unequal conflict. Seven eight-inch shells, loaded with sand instead of powder, went through and through her hull.

The other sips immediately ou- gaged the battery, throwing an immense number of the Jargest shells, many pf which exylleded jn the battery, on the ramparts, breaching it badJy and knocking the dust and splinters about in a terrible atyle. The ships kept up this incessant cannonading for at loast half an hour before theenemy mado any response, But ho was not driven Out, a3 we soon saw, as four or five reports in quick sto- cessioncame from the battery, and the round shot ‘struck the water a short distance from the ships. After that the enemy's fire was pretty sharp, but nearly all the shots fell short. Two thirty-two pound solid shot struck the Wabash, but did not pass through her side, Damage slight. At ten o'clock the Commodore sig- nalized the Harriet Lane to engage the battery on the right flank, and fire as fast as possible. Our men had bec at auarters since seven o’ctock, and they re- ceived the order with every demonstration of delight: We took our position to the extreme right of the line, 60 that we could rake the battery. Lieut. Tompkins let fly first with his eight-inch rifled gun forward, the shell en- sering the inlet beyond the fort and exploding with im- mense force. A second shell went into the battery direct- ly through the rampart, traversed one curtain under which the rebels had endeavored to shelter themselves, killtug one and wounding others, and exploding half way across. ‘Thig shot disheartened the rebels, as they could then see bug little proepects of safety for themselves if the fire was continued. Thre tof sixteen projectiles Lanta passed into the fort and did exeention. Lieut. Porter's rifled thirty-two, in the starboard battery, also took part in the fray, one shell going in the battery and there exploding. Lient, Thatcher’s gun in the second di- vision was excellently served, but its range did uot seem to equal the other two guns, Captain Faunce did his whole duty, and inspired the men by his gallant conduct and by the cool manner in which he gave his orders. Although not well, he re- mained at his postfrom daylight to dark, rendering eilicient assistance in bringing the operations of the day toa siccessfitl termination, He was gallantly sustained ‘by all the officers and men under bis command. Before ‘we ceased fire the Cumberland came in from au offing, under sail, and took part in the engagement, The rebels dreaded her fire, which seemed to be very destructive, At a quarter past eleven o'clock A. M., in the midst of a terrific shower of shells from the fleet, and sometime after the Jast gun had been fired from the fort a white flag was hoisted over the ramparts of the fort, and there held by one of the rebels. It was immediately discovered, and ihe Com- modore signa © firing.’”? Immediately there- after three rousing cheors came from all the ships, whi it became apparent that victory was ours. Chevr after cheer rang from ship to ship, and the tired gunners left their pieces with @ look of intense satisfaction when they, know the fight had terminated. Ina few moments the prepelier Fanny, with General Butler on board, entered the inlet, and proceeded around to the rear of the battery, where he landed. At this moment three steamers, load- ed with reinforcements for the rebels, which had been laying out of the range of our guns all’ day in Pamlico ound, bore down towards the fort, but, on observing the Fanny’, ran south at the top of their speed. ‘Three priva- toor schooners also sailed down the sound and escaped. Gen, Butler, on landing, was met by Commodore Bar- ron, of the Confederate Navy, who was in command of the forces. Gen. Butler demanded an unconditional surrender. The Commodore asked that the officers be allowed to march out with side arms, and the men, after surrendering their arms, were to be al- lowed to return to their homes, General Batler said that the request was inadmissible and the only terms he would give were an uncondition.| surrender and the usual treat- jment 45 prisoners of way. Finally tho Lorms were aeceded to by the commanding oiicer. Thereupon General Butler, with Commodore Barron, Colonel Martin and Major Andrews, proceeded on the Fanny to the flagship, where articles were signed by Commodore Stringham, in con. junction with General Butler, on our part, and by S: Barron, Commodore of naval forecs for the defen: North Carotina; Colonel Martin and Major Andrews, com- manding forces’ at Hatteras Inlet.

She gota hawser from the Monticello, fastened astern, and again ran down to us.

Having completed the arrangements for the expedition Against the forces at Hatteras, General Butler and staff ‘took passage on the Minnesota, which led the fleet. We left Hampton Roads at noon on Monday, and on Tuesday afternoon we arrived off Hatteras Inlet, and the Cumberland joined us there, having been sent down from Fortress Monroe previously. Arrangements wore made to begin operations at early dawn of next day, but it was found impracticabic to begin so early, and the vessels did not get in position to open fire until nearly Roon. AS soon, however, as the proper range was obtuined, @ tremendous fire was opened and kept up by the Min- nesota, Wabash and Cumberland; and while those vessels ‘wore engaging Fort Clark, which is the outer and smaller of the forts, the Monticello and Pawnee cleared the bench further up and afforded an opportunity for the troops to land. Immediately such portions of the troops as could bo put into small boats were started for the beach, con. sisting of a portion of the German regiment, under Colo- nel Max Weber; one company of regulars, under Captain Tamed, United States Army; the Marine Guard, of the Minnesota, under command of Captain Shuttleworth; a portion of the Marine Guard of the Wabash, under Major Doughty, anda portion of the Marine Guard of the Cum- beriand, under command of Lieutenant Heywood, and a portion of the Naval Brigade, under Captain Nixon. Theso were landed in safety, though only after Breat exertion, for the breakers made it yery rough and dangerous to laud. The coxswain of one of the launches (whose name I did not learn), was the first to land, and was immediately followed by Lieutenant Lodor, of Captain Larned’s company whose exertions in assist- ing the other forces iu landing are worthy of special notice. Every effort was made to eave the boats from destruction, but ag fast as they neared the beuch the breakers carried them aground, and it was necersary for the troops to wade ashore, and the boats remained aground despite our efforts to get them off and send them for others of our troops, Each moment the sea became rougher, and the prospect of landing more troops more hopeless, and at last had to be abandoned, and the other troops that had becn transferred to smaller vessels to effect a landing through them had to be taken back to the transport steamers. We were, therefore, left alone on the beach, with but about three hundred troops in all, with only two howitzers, and a wheel of one of these was #0 nich disabled in getting it ashore ax to be upeless to us, and thus really leaving us with ove rifted howitzer for our protection. All became wet in landing, much of the amn- munition damaged, and no provisions or water were brought of from the vessels, as it was expected that these would be sent off when our small boats would re- turn to the ships. In th's connection I should not omit to mention the heroic conduct of Lieutenant Crosby, of the United States Navy, whose exertions to effect a landing of our troops is worthy of special commendation. During y the whole time the vessels kept tiring on, Fort Clark, and at this tine the Susquehanna, which had not been with ns before, joined the fleet and opened fire also, ‘The shelling from the different yeasols was now terrific, ‘The troops were about two miles distant, and formed in Hue and were orgenized as well as their ‘situation would allow, but as no such contingency as the separation of 0. stnall a portion of the troops had been anticipated, they Were much at a loss to know what course to pursue. The wind continued to rise and still more en- dangered the vessels, and required them — to keep further from” the land. Thus no com- munication could bo bad with the vessels by the end no chanes of retreat was left them in case of K upon them, a& was anticipated. Scouts were to reconnoitre, whe soon retarned and reported that Fort Clark had beeu evacuated, and that the troops had been removed to bert Hatteras, three-fourths of a mile distant, and that the Monticello had changed her position and was firing upon Fort Haticras. The troops Were, therefore, immediately marched ap to take pes- Session © ort Clark aud hoist the Stars and Stripes on theramports. In the ineantime the firing had nearly ceased, except from the Munticello’s guns, and when our i was hoisted on the ranparts a fire was again opened von the fort and our own troops shelled out of it, not- withstand flags were raised and flonting froma the four troops had ore when the shells hogan bursting around them, to their great surprise. Noneof our men were killed by it, but a private was struck on the hand with # portion of a shell, which burst in the fort, ans covered Liout Carter, of the Marine corps, and Dr. King. of the United 'y, with dirt. The latter and Dr. Jones, of the United Statee Navy, were the only medical ofticere with the troops on sh In mistake the fire was thas kept up on our forees until they were com- pelled to retreat and leave there the stores, in the Quar- termaster’s Deparument, which they had tound, and which they now so much needed, for they had become exhansted in their exertions to land the forces, and had then marched to the fort in wet elotnes and without any- thing to eat since five A. M., and it was now about five P.M.,and it became sary to fall back to the land- ing. In doing so they captured some negroes, who had been ucting as cooks for the forces there, and other pri- soners in wins. From these it was found that their forces ¥ reater than ours and that they were expecting rem- forcements, No ulterpative was left but to be resigned to whatever fate was in store, and ail tried to be as cheerful some sheep and geese were found and 1"? (to use a soreesion phrase) by our troops, and despatched very unceremoniously, Camp fires were then built and our prey was roasted’ (or rather burned) on the bayousts and eutlasses, aud ou this the troope made their supper und breakfast. The manner in which it was sovved did not make {t partienlarly inviting, but yet it was evidently very much relished in the absence of everything else. Night was now upon us and bid fair to be wstormy one. Every now and againa little ram wouid fall and dampen our clothes, which had not Yet become dry from the experience of the morning. Uar piekets were posted around in different pocitions ta prevent # surprise, and we biyonacked on the beach. Tt was an anxious night to all. While we were lying on the beach, discussing the corafort. that jt would afford us to be taken prisoners and marched to Richmond, they were getting reinforcements into Fort Hatteras and were arranging to attack ns, which would have resulted in our capture, for they outnumbered us, and they were on their own grounds, and better or- ganized than we were, Fortunaicly their pickets report- ed that we'were moving forward in large numbers to at- tack them, and they waited until morning for our ap proach, We, however, were quite willing to remain in where we were, and when morning dawned we saw the vessels coming in again from fea, whither the bigh winds cotupelled them to retreat for ‘the night, and we took up our mareh for Fort Clark, and at the same time the vessels advanced and opened such a hailstorm of Js as caused us to halt outside of Fort Clark, as it was ary for our vessels to fre over that fort’ to reach Hotteras.

Dr. Hum- phrey remained to take cLarge of those so seriously wound: ed that they could not be removed from the fort, and the others were taken to the Adelaide, under the charge of Dre. King and Jones, and kept there under the charge of Dr. King, and taken Norti, whilst the prisoners were transferred to the flag ship Minnesota, to be taken to Now York. Dissatisiaction exists among the officers taken prisoners, in consequence of what they say is a desire of the oflicars of the Union army to claim tho victory, when they say they could not from their situation’ even assist the vaval forces in the battle. They say the demand was made for a surrender to the United ‘States Army, and that they refured to do so, alleging that they had not been whipped by them, and considered that they were able to defend themselves in their position againet tho army, bat that they would acknow- Jedgo that they were whipped by the nayy, and that they would surrender to the navy from necessity. It was poy 4 decided to surrender to the United States forces, and the troops waiting so anxiously on the beach, in the sand, und the hot sun pouring dowu upon them, and with out food or water, felt greaily relieved, and were | EMBER 3, 1861, then removed to the bay, leaving only foros enongh in the fort to next morning the prisoners were transferred sola outside of the bay, and sturied for New York.

The Minuesota has gone to New York with seven hundred and fifty prisoners.

All was alive at Old Point at 4 very carly hour, and in passing along, about eight o'clock A. M., there was a refreshing glow covering the hardy countenances of our men that was cheering in the highest degree, In and about the hotel and market storehouses, the utmost anxicty was man}- fested for incidents, and any one who was fortunate enough to obtain a listening post, might have found him. self amused, although listeuing to a discussion on what I deem # very serious subject. The men think the goyern- ment all right now—wise conclusion, is it not? We heard further news, or rather the details, during the morning. ‘The fullest particulars are doubtless now parsing over the wires, and will be given by you to your readers t0-mor- row. 1] can assure you the naval oflicers on this station are delighted at the complete success of their first expo- dition, “AN honor to them.

COLONEL ANDREW JACKSON BRADFORD, Colone) Bradford was born in 1804, and was the frst child in America who was named after Andrew Jackson, then a. Judge in Tennessee. Ho was, wo believe, a native of North Corolina, and was educated at West Point. Ho ‘was a favorite of General Jackson when President, and owes his rapid advancement to the partiality of his god- father. He is well known as Captain Bradford, of the United States Artillery, and has been ‘for years stationed at Fayetteville, in North Carolina, whence he emerges a fall blown traitor to the government to which he owes everything—education, rank and position. He falls in a bad cause, and will nd within the gloomy walls of Tort Lafayette several congenial spirits. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE IN THE REBEL COAST DEFENCES. [From the Raleigh Standard.) We learn, on good anthority, that Commodore Barron, of the Confederate Navy, has been assigned to duty, by President Davis, on the coast of North Carolina and Vir- zinta. With thé armament already at his command, in connection with our iard batteries on the coast, it is thought that he will give the Y: *a& warm reception, Tt will be seen from this that the Confederate government has assumed entire control of our ‘coast defences,” and to allay all anxiety on the subject we can assui friends on the sea coast and elsewhere that Go or Clark is omitting no opportunity, but. is employing all the means at his command, to have them rendered not only secure against attack, but prepared thoroughly for offen- sive operations, Ship William Tell Destroyed by Fire. LOSS ESTIMATED AT $150,000—NaARROW ESCAPE OF THE PASSENGERS—THE CREW ARRESTED BY THE HARBOR POLICE ON SUSPICION OF BURNING THR ‘SHIP. Shortly before two o'clock on Monday morning the fire bells were rung for the Kighth district, caused by the burning of the Hayre packet ship William Tell, Captain Bonney. The ship was lying at anchor in the North river, off the foot of Morris street. She was to haye sailed for Havre yesterday morning. ‘The crew were shipped on Saturday, and the vessel, at tho time of the fire, was in charge of the second mate, the captain and first mato being on shore. The steam ferry boat Montague, Captain James Benner, immediately procecded to her assistance, and succeeded in taking off the crew and Passengers, with most of their baggage, together with the captain's instruments, Subsequently the steamboat Paci- fic, of the same line, towed the burning ship ashore on the south eide of Governor's Island, where she now lies with a heavy list to starboard, all spars and rigging gone, and burned through to her lower deck, The Union ferry boats Exchange, Bedford, Wyandank and Peconic assisted in putting out the fire. ‘The William Toll is 1,154 tons, rates Al, was built in 1850 in this city, and is owned by parties in this city. For an hour previons to the alarm given on shore the fire was burning below the decks, and signal rockets and blue lights were being fired off, These were noticed by Coxswain Smiley and crew, of the Harbor pelice, who, after procending to the vessel and ascortaining their ‘cwuse, procured the ferry hoat above mentioned, and re- turning took off the passengers and baggage, ‘The mate, it appears, suspects that some of the seamen purposely set fire to the ship, and accordingly the harbor police arrested the crew and conveyed them'to the First precinct station house. ‘Ihe alarm of fire soon brought Fire Marshal Baker to the dock, but, being unable to board the ship, he repaired to the station house, whore he foond the crew, and at once commenced to investigate the origin of the fire, ‘The men were examined, but all d any participation whatever in the wilfal burning ship’. One man, named James Chase, admitted that the second mate had on Saturday put’ him in irons for some misconduct, but ke was willing to serve a, and had never refused to do duty. men, named Henry Lloyd and Daniel Cox, Marshal Baker that they hnd never shipped, nor sig articles te ship, but bad on Saturday, ‘while drun n carried en board by the shipping mas: ter, and did not know where they were until gome time ou Sane © cro wall agroe that no deck watch was kept by the men.

It was further ascertained by the Marshal that no cot- ton was in the forward hateh, Tho following is a list of her cargo:~101 bushels corn, 35,019 bushels wheat, 157,543 Ibs. tallow , 84,530 do. lard, 51 bbls. flour, 50 bales hops, 88 bags mustard seed, 28 bois. potash, 921 bags quereitron bark, 7,018 bdls, whale- bone, 761 bbis. cil, 3,000 staves, 1,002 bundles flats, 13 cases sewing machines, 4 do. books, 7 do, merchandise, 2do. veneers ,1 do. furs, 50 bales cotton, 1 cage watches, 3 cares containing a carriage, 1 case segars, The greater part of the crew agree ag to the locality of the fire, or at least the place where it was first scen— that is, the forward hateh, nireast of the foremast, and it was some (ime before the flames burst out.
