MOVEMENTS OF TIE ENEMY.


Lincoln has decided to hold Fort Hatteras
at all hazards. Butler has been hastily re-
called from Massachusetts,, whittier he had
gone to rest after his herculean labors in ia
king Hatteras, and has been sent back to the
fort with large reinforcements to hold the
place and to make ravaging incursions into
the country. We have reliable information
that considerable feet of light draft gum
boats have left Fortress Monroe Tor our coast.
Hyde and Beaufort counties and Washing
ton, no doubt. are singled out as the first
places Of attack. We warn the people Of
Hyde to be on the lookout and to be prepar-
ed for them. And we are assured they shall
have aid. The enemy will find an array Of
bristing steel that be may not expect We
shall give him something TO do in this quar-
ter, and stop short the movements Of some OF
them. Washington Dispatch.
