OFFICER.
FoRr HArrERAs, July 25.
COL Warren WtnSl0p, Military Secretary: The
day before Yesterday we h0sted our glorious flag
over Fort Clark strong battery l have nearly
finished, of five heavy 32-pounders, about half
mile from Fort Hatteras, which secures to us a
cross-fre upon the bar and the entrance to this in
let | consider this inlet secure against any
attempt Of the enemy to enter it. Our force ofmen
| think rather weak to resist land attack in case
the enemy should effect landing in the blight of
Hatteras. If we had three four additional COM
panies here | should feel quite safe even in that
event.
to Abemarle SQUAD, and it cannot be too strictly
guarded. We certainly are under the espionage OF
the United States steamers, as they are seen every
daV or two in the Olfing, although they keep with
out the range of our guns.
If | had have received the l0-inch columbiad we
could have damaged them some on their last visit,
three days since.
We now have two prvateers in this harb0r, be
sides the steamer Winslow. The Gordon, of
Charleston, Captain Lockwood, armed with three
guns, fine large steamer. She returned this
morning with prize brig laden with three hundred
and sixty hogsheads of molasses. We have also a
saucv looking little pilot schooner, the Florida,
mounting 6pounder riaed cannon. She cap
tured a prize two days since, took her out
and sent her in with her men. A United
States Government steamer gave chase to the prize,
and they obliged to beach her near Nags
Head. She, of course, is total loss
Yours, respectfully,
Major w. BEvERHoUT THOMPSON,
Chief Eng. n. Department Coast Defence.
