Referring to the recent actions at Hatteras the
Fayetteville OLssrrer says
We learn verbally that Col Bradford and number Of
citizens Of Newbern who he'd seized what arms they
could get, had arrived at Fort Hsteras in the
Winslow only hof hour before the surrender tba.
the cash in the banks Newberu was brought up the
road to Goldsboro Saturday and the women and chill
dren OF that town and section leaving for the ipe
ror. The men were under arms. Also that 5000
troops had arrived in Newbern up to Saturday morning.
and 3 900 were expected during that day. The prizes
Of the Winsow had been sunk in the channel to pre-
vent the passage Of enemys vessels. Tho cars going
North were filed with troops from the South bound 10
Vngiuii. We have not heard whether any of them
were stopped In this State.
The steamer Wihslow returned to Newbern on Thurs
day night bringing Lieut.. Citizen, (of Captain Lamb >
company, of Nevbern, we believe,) who escaped and
who states that
The Federal steamers. eleven in number, commenced
the bombardmeni on Wednesday, and the Forts, Clark
and Hatteras returned the fire. IL kept up till dark
with but little loss on our side Onrhursday morning Il e
conflict was renewed and continued till about O'Clock

or Gillian Major Andrews and all the captains of the
post are prisoners.
Our entire force at Hatteras, on Wednesday night,
was S53. Some few escaped perhaps 80 or more, and
L.. Citizen thinks not more than 90 were killed and
wounded. Probably 40 killed and about twenty wound
ed. He remained ia the Fort till half hour previous
10 its surrender. The bombardnent Is represented az
most terrific.
L Knight and 1t. Murdoch we're brought up wound.
ed; Knight slightly in the arm, and Murdoch wit. his
arm badly injured. Probably amputa'ion will be
sary. The dead body Of Mr.. Tndel, we believe rcm
Lenor, was brought up.
Lieut. Citizen says fought bravely until they
compelled to surrender and the defeat
s only to be attributed TO the superiority OF the eet
over our batteries. The ammunition gave out at Fort
CLARK on "Wednesday and the guns spiked aud aban
doueJ but Fort Hseras returned the FIRE Of the Federas
till / or after Thursday.

them information. He struggled near signal post and
may have made signal which they understood, to the
effect that our men were out Of ammunition but would
be reinforced on Thursday they would have been.
