DISASTER AT HArrERAs.
The Raleigh Standard of Saturday last,
has the following
The affair does not alarm US. We do not
60 into spasms because the Yankees have
taken Hatteras. 1t is sheer nonsense for our
people 10 take fright and conclude that the
Yankees hayiag got possession OF Hafteras,
can control Eastern Carolina, and that by
consequence il Is lost to us ut least for q
time. To talk of Htttefas being made the
b So OF a great strategic plan for the subJu-
CATION Of North Carolina and of the SOUTH,
betraSs consElninute ignorance both OF geOg
! fapliy and strategy Give the Yankees con.
troll of Ii tiers, Beacon Island. and Oregon
| Inlet, and then they can do nothing, except
| To interfere with our priyateers, and 10 har-
rass our people who live on tho banks and
on the sounds, unless we stand still and do
nothing.
The Standard argues to show that HatteraS
ought not 10 have been surrendered, and that
it would not had there not been something
rotten in Denmark" The Standard con.
cludcs
We have no charges of corruption or collu.
sion 10 make We would not do injustice 70
conclusion which the facts published In our
paper to-day force upon us, that Com. Barron
| yielded too much to his fears or something
else, when he proposed 10 surrender.
IL is unfortunate at the present juncture,
that the Raleigh papers are at variance ia
reference TO the management of the coast de-
fences. The Goldsboro' Tribune thus timely
remarks:
When facts are stated, grounded on the
| record OF past events, no controversy il ne
! cessary for any honest or useful purposes.
Let the patriot press confine itself to the tiutv
of spreading truth before the people, with
| such comments as may be necessary to illus
| trate that trnth; nor yield to the temptation
| OF resentments that magnify the little and
give apparent consequence 10 the base and
selfish
| LOCATION OF HATrERAs
| The Wilmington Journal says:
| Hateras Inlet appears by the coast survey
| map to be about IL or II miles south of Cape
| Hitteras, and 10 or Is north OF Ocracoke
| There is Il pretty good harbor with deep wa
| ter extending i'll about halt mile. There 10,
however, shoal between this and the deep
| water OF the Sound, over which eight feet

| Fort uatI"ras was on the North side Of the
| inict-a mere earthwork, with no guns Of
suIhcitnt range 10 reach the Yankee fleet,

aad smaller work, of the same character
