Report of the Secretary of wnr.-W

publish on our outside the Report Of Secretary
Cameron, 1t will be read with more than usual
interest The people have been anxious to see
the grounds that would be taken by the Secretary
of War, upon the " contraband" question. and al
so to learn the full number of men that have been
raised and put into the field.
We believe the views of Secretary Cameron Will
be fully endorsed and approved OF by the people
Of the Free States His treatment of the subject
fthe prosecution of the and the disposition of
fbe vexed question of Slavery, is eminently sound
and patriotic and have the ring of the right met
al We cannot longer afford to prosecute this war
with gloved hands, and tender consideration for
the feelings or interests of the rebels and traitors
The reported disagreement in the views OF Pres
ident Lincoln and Secretary Cameron, we think
has been over estimatsd and over stated by gossip
and sensation telegraph dispatches We have no
idea that Mr.. Cameron will be removed from the
Cabinet, or that he will resign his position. The
people have learned to trust to the patriotism pru
dence and Judgment of the Secretary OF War,most
fully in the prosecution of this war, and they
rou Id most unwilingy at this time, see the place
filed by any other untried man Nor do we be-
lieye that the President would deprive himself and
his Administration of the eminent services OF one
who has done so much to place the country IN its
present high state of preparation for successful
encounter with rebellion.

sailing under various flags, most of which were at
tempting to violate the blockade. With few ex-

when seized, as to authorize their being sent at

The STAND AT HATrERAs.-There seems
TO be a disposition to underrate the staunch
resistance made at l~latteras Battery. People
are too apt, especially in reyerSes, to look
only to the result, and forget, in lamenting
the defeat, acts of bravery equally as praise
worthy as those which, under more favorable
circumstances, have worked out the glorious
successes of the past. But where has there
been a nobler fight than that at Rich Noun
tain, in which we were defeated, and where
an exhibition of steadier GOODNESS and yalDr,
with as hopeless prospects, than that at the
little battery on HatteraS Is it necessary
to excuse our brave soldiers and the defeat
by putting in, as some do, a plea OF deficien-
cy OF drill and discipline? Ii those whe are
ready 10 make such excuses will but com
pare the iorces engaged on each side, We
think they will find nothing wherein TO
condemn the men who did the lighting. even
granting them to have been most experienc-

River, and the guns placed in battery.
Beacon Island, several miles south of Fort
Hatteras, on which a battery had been cree
ted, was abandoned by our forces, after spi-
king the guns, on hearing Of the success of
the enemy above that point being then un.
tenable.
We have heard of no menacing attitude
towards any other of our forts, or towns, by
the Yarkce feet, and it is thought none viii
probably be made-the object being 10 annoy
and capture our weak defences and by 9TH
er depredatious all along our Sea and Gulf
coasts endeavor to Withdraw attention and
forces from the main point of attack in Vir-
GINA. In this they will be most egreg ious-
ly disappointed. We see that our friends at
Mobile, New Orleans, Savannah and other
points South are preparing to give them a
warm reception, should a visit be paid to
their Notifications.
The Standard of the 7th says: We are
now convinced, unless we are wholly ignorant
OF the facts, that Hatteras ought not to hare
been surrendered. Just look at it. Who ey-
er heard before of a commander concentrating
Z or 800 men in and around two inconsidera-
BILE sand batteries, to be destroyed by the
superior guns of a large feet Who ever
heard before of keeping that number ofarm-
ed men in such a position, and allowing only
800 of the enemy to land within two miles of

such a force, when they had lost only 80 men
in killed and wounded? Our forces had a
capital chance to resist their landing. They
could have killed the 800 Yankees with the
risk of a small loss to themselves on th,
beach, before they could have reached on.

we are confident the surrender wOuld no

w Speaking of the landing Of the yam
kee yandals on the coast OF North earoilna,
the Richmond Examiner says hat separa.eu
from a general design, the capture OF fol'
Hatteras is too Insignificant to occupy puoi'o
attention to the extent it does. Inc enemy
have taken a sand bank. They cannot stay
there. for there is neither water nor proVls-
ions. They have gained access oy water -
Eewbern. and if their guns will carry farther
than those sent to that place long ago, Wnere
they have been left to lie on the ground III
now. they may lombard Newbern, but IL
they attempt to land, they will meet a ue-
termined resistance, and, in all human pfoo-
ability. a signal defeat. Rather than they
should take the town, it will be burnt 10 the
ground. They have, therefore, gained noth-
ing at Fort Hatteras, but some hundreds Oh
prisoners. a sand bank and twenty guns with
out powder.
The descent on the coast of North Carroll
ma is a mere foray, or it is a part OF a gener-
al nlan. The Northern Government propo-
SEES a series of such inroads on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, less for the purpose OF plliage
and murder than with the idea that the army
! of General Beauregard, now before Washing
ton. will Immediately disband at the rumors
of an attack on the cotton plantations.
The plot is Characteristic of the enemy
: with which we are engaged, and is a contln-
uation of the principles that has pervaded all
his actions in this war. 1t is based on the
! fauacy that the South can be frightened. The
war would have never been begun without
that illusion. They now hope to finish 1t with
a sham. But from the first Of this great bus

~ By the Sequestration Act passed by
the Confederate States Government
has taken under its control all the Yankee
property and effects in the States of the Con-
federacy. The bill Only differs from a confis-
cation bill in the particular of holding this
property for particular ends, subject to claims
for indemnity and to the future disposition
of the Government.
There can be no exaggeration of the ex-
tent and importance of this law. TIL very
best opinions, and developed in the views of
Congress and gathered from intelligent finan-
cial estimates, is that the Yankee property
in the South subject to the provisions of the
bill-incl uding mortgage nterests-aoU not
fall short Of three hundred millions Of dol
lars.
1t is a singular fact that a majority of the
city real estate in the South is owned by
Yankees. In the city of New Orleans alone,
is estimated that there is fifty millions of
real estate owned by Yankee aliens, and
coming under the operations of this bill.
