WE HAD the pleasure to meet Wednesday, 1t Smith Of
the Scotland Neck Mounted Rifles, who had just re-
turned from SwaDsboro having been detailed in pur-
suance of the orders of General Anderson with de-
tachment of ten from that troop, to examine into
the circumstances connected with the landing of certain
Federal forces in the ncighborhood of Bogue Inlet, OPP
posite the mouth of the White Oak River and about
twenty miles South of Fort Macon.
1t. Smith left Camp Winsow, some six miles from
Wilmington, on THURSDAY the 18th instant. and got to
SwaDsboro or Saturday the 18th. On Sunday morn
ing the 2Oth he visited the banks where the reported
landing took place. Soon after getting to the
banks he discovered the dead body OF who ap-
peared to have been United Stats Marine, Judging
from his dress. On the body navy revolver ard
cutass also bayonet and cartridge box. The mus
ket not being attached to the person, not
found 1t. Smith had the body as carefully hurled as
its advanced state of decomposition would admit.
The people on the banks fishermen believe, re-
ported that about o'clock the night Of Tuesday
the 8th or the morning Of eduesday the 9h two boats
containing in all about fifty from the Federal feet,
landed attempted to land the banks at the North
side of the Inlet One of the boats got stove in the
attempt aud three persons drowned. Two bodies have
since been found, one Of them being the Marine above
referred to.
The visitors staid until daylight, when three more
boats were scat ron the feet aud took them o also
taking the stove boat in tow.
A boat or boats-so the fishermen say-agsn visited
the banks on Saturday the l2h Instant, having the
report goes white flag hoised. Officers landed and
moved around in all probability surveying for it is pref
ty certain that boats had ben engaged for some days in
taking soundiDgs.
This is the account given on the tanks. Some two
three muskrts aid bay Ones and perhaps pistol or
two, appear have been picked or TO have somehow
got into possession of the banks people which they said
had come lom the stove boat The Yankee sailors told
the people that there fifteen hundred dollars worth
Of property lost by the accident to the boat The boat
on Saturday the 18TH, carried %

Our Navy.

NO doubt many, very many OF cur Southern horn
men in the Navy true and brave as our
land, but it must be confessed that the navy
officers of Southern BIRTH have not as rule up
the defence of their native section they ought
have done Hardly vessel passes along our shores
with hostile intent that does not number in her roll of
officers some native OF the section whose people to
be subugated if the policy of the Washington govern
ment succeeds Not balf of the Naval officers born in
the South have gone with the South. The army has
presented different spectacle There all or nearly all,
have gone with their country.
The truth is, the officers of the q. $. Navy have
been segregated from their fellow country That
navy, uominally republic navy, has been always
more aristocratc more despotc, cruel than any
other service in the world. The British navy is
perfect democracy compared with it. Its t is almost
that OF irresponsible authority It's practice wholly
So What wonder that it should be bad school for
Southern patriots The real wonder is, that many
men have lett it to tender their services to their
try. Those vino have done so deserve all credit.
But even the few honorable exceptions to the general
LDcoDism of the Navy, have not been able to escape
the fatal Influence of its peculiar discipline and charac
ter. Used TO big rgates, fancy war-seamtrs, all the
parapharDaia of the o. S. service, they not, as
general thing, the do aud dare in he class Of
vessels which at present the Confederacy alone
mand. Their big notions do not comport with the
tually existing state of things. Not being able to DO
things in the scale they would prefer to them done,
as general thing they DO nothing at all and prevent
others from doing any thing We could send feets
but here III Wilmington have vessels that might
have done something equally glorious with the feat per-
formed by the little squad on under Hollins at New
Orleans. But bliss you NO! Gentlemen who have
better than lower themselves the Uucle Ben the
Arctic, Others that might name. We were
bockaded here for weeks by miserable little chicken
coop OF thing called tie Daylight, that good hard
ought to have been brought in here and made into a
movable fsh-trap. But fancy frigate, Or crack
sloop-o-war officers wCul have nothing to Go with
small things
Merit and not Old nv ak ought to be the ass
port to position in infant marine. We want men
that if they can't will walk, AID if they can't walk
will crawl. We can't fnd service to suit the fastidiOus

sentng to take rsnk aud pay under the Confederate
government. Good coast pilots, bold and daring sailors

THE MYSTERY OF THE FIGHT AT THE PAssEs-We
receive from very reliable a confirmation of Dr.
Bradburys statement and planation OF the Effects Of
Commodtce HELMS attack upon the enemy's squadron
at the Passts Saturday last. This account is con-
ssent and probable, and think may be relied on as
the true solution of the singular mystery which has
COMPOUNDED and perplexed the minds of our people.
According TO this account, it was the Richmond
which struck by the Manassas. The blow was in
santng direction and inflicted the forward chain;
the PROV of tie Manassas piercing into the hull of the
Richmond at very acute angle and shaving off some
of her woodwork and coppering, and causing her to
leah badly, but not so to sink her. With the aid of
the other vessels she owed down to the bar where
she beached to list and enable the
penters to repair damage.
1t whilst in this position little vessels opened
upon the Federal ships at the bar and peppered them
well, lodging one shell in the cabin of the Richmond,
and another the Vincennes, which drove the latter
vessel hard mud bank. The Richmond replied
with several broadsides but the Federals becoming
alarmed at the vigor aud pertinacity of fire. were
about to abandon both the Richmond and Vincennes
having thrown fourteen of her guns overheard and that
not Tightening her, arrangements made to blow her
up-when the hauling # Of our fleet and the tim,y
arrival Of the McCleand and another steamer induced
renewal Of the Efforts to get off the Richmond and
the Vincennes, which hDaly proved successful.

cruitng his health, which, pleased to learn, is

TREATIES WITH THE INDIAN NATIONS The Fort
Smith Times publishes the following letter from Mr.. j.
w. Washburne to the editor dated Park Hill Chero-
kee Nation, October 5:
Gen. Pike has consummated with the Osages, Qua
paws, Senscas and ShawDees, treaties of alliance and
friendship with the Confederate States. On Monday
next the Cherokees viii also sign similar treaty
peace and harmony now prevail. The war may unite
the two parties who have been so long discovered. 1t
is to be devouty hoped that such result may be gain
ed and though doubter, l one of the hopefaI.-
At all events Gen. Pike has concluded treaty of the
most liberal character acknowledged by them, as
