Coming to the southerly slope of the fort the column filed to the left, and, rounding the edge of the green sward, entered the sally port. Ascending to the ram- parts the battalion marched once around the fort, with the bannor still before them. The companies were then told off to their respective places, and the ceremony of taking possession had ended, with the exception of HAULING DOWN THB REBEL FLAG. This was soon performed; the halyards were loosed, and the bunting came to the ground. It was given into the possession of Major Wright, who intends adding it to the collection of trophies in the Legislature of Rhode Island. It was made out of the old flag of the garrison, with the stars withdragn to suit the number of revolted States. A second flag had been lying in an obscure part of the fort; it was hunted up and brought to light, adjusted to the balyards, and in a briefer time than I can narratethe fact it wens Bying to the top.

Im accordance with the erders of General Burnside, the elevation of the colors was forbidden to be attended with any demonstration by the soMiers, though, as they ex- Pressed it themselves, they did want to ‘ scream,” and very loudly at that. But from across the water came three tremendous cheers. Beaufort had emptied itself upon its wharves, and when the troops and Union- ists saw the Stars and Stripes at the top of the fiagstaif they vented their feelings in one grand uproar of joy. ‘The battalion could with difficulty restrain from joining in the glorious sound.

A Parrott shot cut off the onds of two of these bars, and sank its own length into the brickwork. The fragments of shell, too, had covered the walls with a fretwork of holes, and, where they burst alongside the guns, bad scattered the grape from thoir canvass bags, while the roofs and sides of the houses around the fort were perforated and splintered.

During the afternoon they packed up their effects, and made ready to return to their homes, located at near and remote distances from this place. ‘The stern-wheel steamer North State took on board the two companies from Beaufort, and before night landed them on the wharves here, Others were put on board the gunboat Chippewa, which will take them to Wilming. ton.

The rebel officer of ordnance delivered over to Lieutenant Flagler the following ammunition:—20,000 pounds of powder, 150 ten-inch shell, 250 thirty-two pound shot and 160 eight-inch shot, besides 400 stand of arms, with accom- panying accoutrements.

They introduced them- ‘Selves as Captains Poo) and Guion, and stated that they bad come from Colonel White in order to find out upon ‘what terms the fort could be surrendered. The message swas conveyed at once to General Parke, who replied that ‘the only terms upon which he could accept the surrender of the fort were unconditional, but that their inquiry should be at once despatched to General Burnsidey who might make an arrangement differing somewhat from that demanded by him. As the night was near’ and darkness already settling over everything, further parley was postponed, and the message was signalled ver, by lights, to Beaufort: “Colonel White desires to ‘know upon what terms he can surrender the fort.’» ‘Horsemen were instantly in readiness to convey the mes- sage to General Burnside, who was on board the Alice Price, some little distance up the North river, and tho consequence was that the next morning st an early nou? the Alice Price was seem coming down the river, and Beading in towards the fort. Another interview took Place between Colonel White and General Burnside, on ‘Doard the Alice Price, during which interview the full arrangements forthe surrender of Fort Macon were en- tered into.

As it was not the ipjention of the expedition to undertake a general en- gi gement, but merely to make a reconnolssance, it was dcemed most prudent to retire, and the regiments with- drew to the beats and returned to Roanoke Island, hav- iag accomplished the feat of marching over forty miles ia twenty-four hours, Owing to the fatigue many of the men fell out of the ranks before and after the battle, part of whom are, no doubt, enumerates in the list of missing. During the engazement, Adjutent Gadsen, Ninth New York, was killed, and Colonel Hawkins, Major Jardine, Captain Graham, Captain Hammill and Lieutenants Bar- tholomew, Kingsoehr and Powell, of the same regiment, wounded, Liontenant Cabjll, of the Fighty-ninth York, was also wounded, Our total loss in killed, wounded and missing is one hundred and twenty-seven, principally in the Ninth New York.

Suculd they do this, unless the river is so obstructed that they cannot navigate it, they would be quite likely to push on to Montgomery. le hope they may never ba able to penetrato so far in the interior of our State, but the possibility of their doing 80 is one which should be unilinchingly contemplated, and p'epavations mace lo meet the e is well known, a consist ch the enemy are g eatly in‘e: the mak t, We have a deeper interest, however, in preventing them from .ett ng it,and if our people aud the authorities do their duty they will never obiain ono bale of it. .@ ounce should be sulfered to ES abroad, upon any pretext, «nd if measures to secure the prompt destruction «f the whole mount, if in danger of falling tnto the hands of the ensmy, have not already been adopted, they should be at ones.

It ig dou teas @ very nice arrangement on the part of those who wish to relieve themselves from a very disa- agreeable dilemma; but we can assure the Prench and all others that the wheme won't work. The question con- cerning the protection of foreign flags has already deen decided. The President having authorized Gen. Lovell, at New Orlea..s, to destroy all cotton and tobacco belong- —* citizens or foreign residents, indiscriminately, where it wus in dager of falling inte the hance of the enemy, the same course will be pursued hore; and the French fag, or any other, will nob save the cotlon from de- struction in case the enemy Jens to land at this point. {From the Norfolk Day Book, May 1.) ‘The Svuthern ynows sit! ¢ ntinues uncertain, but enough is kuown to prepare pul mind for disas and revers:.
