CLEVELAND, THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 10, 1851

$500 rebels, consisting Of q Georgia, South
Carolina and Virginia regiment, had come
over from the main land In six small
steamers, sehooners, and fatboats, and at
tackled the 20th Indiana Regiment, who
we're obliged 10 retreat. |
The Susquehans steamed up outside, while
Col. Hawkins marched up with six companies,
and reached HatteTaa light by nightfall a
distance Of thirteen miles. During the night,
Col. Hawkins was Joined by the goth Indiana
Regiment, who had passed in the darkness
q large body Of rebels, who bad landed for
the purpose Of cutting them of. Col. Brown
reported loss Of hlty Of his men, compris-
ing his sick and wounded and twenty pick
els, who could not be called in. He sue
eeeded In saving his tents, provisions, Sc.
On saturday morning the Monticello
steamer arrived at the cape, and few miles
up met the rebels marching down the narrow
neck Of land to attack ou troops.
The rebel steamers were also landing
troops TO cooperate with them. They were in
easy range, and the Monticello opened upon
them with shells, Ave second fuses, 2l8 Of
which were fred from three guns, in three
hours and thirty minutes, doing great exc
eutiOn.
The Confederates at first tried to shelter
themselves, but soon broke in every direction
and took refuge upon their vessels.
A shell passed through the Wheel-house Of
the Fanny, which was already employed
against US.
1t is reported that their loss must have
reached 200 or 300 killed and wounded.
During the engagement member Of the
Indiana regiment who he'd been taken pris-
oner managed to escape. He took to the
surfs, and was picked up by boat from the
Monticello.
He reports tho first shell from the Monti-
cello killed Col. Barton Of the Georgia regi-
ment, and that the havoc WIS frightiul He
also reports that when be escaped he killed a
Confederate Captain with his revolver. Up
on his withdrawal of the Confederates, the
Monticello and Susquehauna and the land
forces returned to Hatteras Inlet.
Lieut.. Burkhead, from whom l have OBJ
tanned the above account thinks that no ad-
vance can be made from the Inlet without
the support Of feet of light draft vessels.
He also thinks that Gus forces at the Inlet
should be speedily increased.
The Spaulding arrived at the Inlet on the
7th with General Mansfield, and landed her
men and stores.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to
Lieut. Brain for this brilliant achievement,
which has caused great exultation at Old
Point.
Col Brown narrowly escaped with the
2Oth Indiana Regiment He was shelled
from the Confederate vessels, and troops vert
handed both above and below him, yet ht
managed to escape with comparatively small
loss. The particulars of his mastery move

Roland for an oliver.

We presume there are a very few news
paper readers who have not read the sketch
Of the ademoralization OF the Northern Ar
my" after the battle Of Bull Run, which was
written by the London Times man, Russell.
We Introduce by way of pleasant remin-
iscence, the following editorial description of
the British army in the Orimea, as copied
from one Of Russellis letters:
''On that day Sunday, early and late, in
all directions, wherever he went, he four
correspondent found the whole army drunk.
The sights he saw, he tells US, were enough
to make an Englishmanto dispair Of his
countrymen. An along the road were men,
not only privates, but non-commissioned of
6eera, in every stage of drunkenness. So
briefly was really the exception, intoxica-
ton the rule. He was constantly coming
on the groups of ourEespectable country
men figuring disgracefully for the amuse :
ment of our sober but less mirthful allies.
The roadside was full Of them:
The tavern booths of old KsdikOi was
crowded with drinkers, and rang with osths,
obscenity and brawls. Little Kadikoi, hard
by the Guards camp, is quiet enough upon
week days, but in the evening, when the
working parties come of, and on Sundays,
when they have nothing to do. it is as much
thronged as the booths on a race course OF
at a sir, or as the black slums of a sea port
town when half a dozen men-of-war have
just been paid Of. Drink, otcourse, Is near
" the sole object of its frequenters Il and
drink, not In moderotioR, but to the most
beastly excess. "The drunkenness. snd in
subordination Of this army the writer pro-
ceeds 10 say, aare here matter of common
conversation and lament The oldest Off.
GERS declare that in all their experience
they never saw anything to equal it. Th,
cat, stone gathering, and drill are alike in
eHectual."

make for Mr.. Russells Manassas pieturel
