The Capture of the Forts at
Hatteras Inlet,

The intelligence of the brilliant
sncceSs Of the secret expedition, which
under the skillfnl management Of Ger.
Butler and Commodore Strinaham,
was recently fitted out at Fortress
Monroe, will cause great rejoicing
throughout our country. It is in ma
ny respects one Of tbe most impor-
tant events that have occurred since
the commencement Of the present war.
1t proves that the secrets of the Gov
'ernment are now so well kept that our
enemies will hereafter be attacked in
the old English fashion, with ga word
and q blow, and the bloao first - and
not have announced to them. for oavs
IN advance, the exact spot and the
manner in which they are to be as
sailed.
The actual results of the expedi-
ton cannot be easily estimated.
We haven't only taken two Forts of the
enemy, killed and wounded a number
of their men, and captured many pris-
OneTs, cannon, and arms, bnt it is be-
iifved that we have gained Virtual
possession Of the whole coast of North
Carolina, which has heretofore been
the favorite cruising ground of the
vessels which wished to break our
blockade, and furnished ports of entry
for the prizes captured by the rebel
priVateers Besides, l. has been m.
niored that large number of the peo-

trnity to revolt against their Seces.
sion despots. IF this statement is
true, many of them will have an cx-
celient chance to rally under the ban
nGr of the stars and stripes and even
if it is false, they will he forced to re-
spect their eountry's flag
This splendid success, too, is we
trnst glorious harbinger of future
victories of a similar character. The
coast of the iusurgent States is very
extensive, and in brief period our
navy will be very large and effective.
The natural result will be, that expe.
ditions can soon he fitted out on a
much more gigantic scale than the
one that captured Forts Hatteras and
Clark and while the insurgents are
attempting to pusR their lines north
ward, their troops will not be partic-
ularly reioiced to hear that their own
Southern homes are at our mercy.
While they are Vainly Boosting OF
their power to capture Washington,
Baltimore, and Philadelphia, it is not
altogether impossible that Whining
ton, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile,
New Orleans, Galveston may fall into
our possession. All history shows
that in an extensive war Power that
can command the seacoast of its enc
my can derive immense advantages
from such superiority. Tie victory
at Hatteras is q new illustration of
this truth. Many more, we trust will
soon follow.

Attempt to Rescue the Female Prisoners

Attempt to Rescue the Female Prisoners
There is strong reason to believe
that the fires at Washington on Sun
day morning, at one and four O'Clock
were the work. Of incenGarIes, with
view to rescue the female prisoners.
While the fire on street was burning
o rush was made by three men to the
door of the house where the prisoners
are confined, and ain urgent demand
made to open the door for the escape
Of the inmates, as the house was in
danger. The guard, however, could
not see the danger, and preferred not
to relinquish their charge. During
the second fire the door was watched
BY parties who probably thought the
guard woule be drawn away to the
Burning houses.
