REPORTED BURNING OF WASHINGTON, NC
The Salisbury Banner, of Tuesday, the 2rd,
says:
Rumors came here on the train last night
that the town of Washington was burned by
the Lincoln barbarians on Saturday night.
The rumors are not credited by passenger
on the train just from Newbern. Washington
is situated on the PamIico river, and is ac-
cessible from either Albemarle or Pamlico
Sounds. 1t contains about 4 900 Inhabitants,
and is one of the most thriving commercial
towns in the State. Some thirty or forty sail
vessels, mostly schooners, two or three steam
ers, and large number of the smaller craft,
belong to this port, and would of course, fall
into the hands Ut the enemy, either to he de-
stroyed or used for their vile purpose of plum
der and subjugation. Besides, Washington
is the great depot of navel stores and grail,
ali OF which would fall into the hands of the
euemy. Large war steamers caunot come up
to this place, but gun boats drawiog six or
seven feet water will fiud no difficulty. There
are two banks in Washington, the Washing
ton Bank and branch of the Cape Fear
Bank. Whether these Banks have sent OFF
their valuables, we have not learned.
If Lincoln's forces should obtain possession
of Washington, there is nothing to prevent d
march by land to Newbern, distant thirty-six
miles; and since they have possession of Hat
teras Inlet, there is nothing to prevent their
approach to Washington and many other
places on the waters of the two sounds.
We learn that our troops are rapidly con-
centrating at various points on or near the
coast. af1
Forces are reported as coming from Rich
mond and Petersburg, and we learn that an
order was sent up by Gov. Clark, last night
to the Wes.ern N. G. Road, for all the Car,
that could be spared from that road.

From Western virginia.

We received yesterday letter from Ten
nessean attached to the c. S. Army in West
ern Virginia, dated -'BIG. SPRING, Aug. 30,
1861, - from which we make the following
extract
"a detachment of the LIST Regiment went
out yesterday under Maj. LooNEY. They
found party of the enemy, and Capt FIELD
with his Colts rife enjoyed the luxury OF
bringing down three of the scoundrels. We
are expecting general engagement before
many days. The Federals- under RosEcRANz
are strongly posted about eighteen miles from
here in the pass of Valley Mountain, and it
will require sharp work to dislodge them, but
we will do it. Our boys are in high glee at
the prospect of an early brush, and we have
all manner of rumors flying through the
camp day and night"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a, 1861.
| To HIS EIceliency, b. MagotFH, GOUernor Of the
State Of Kentucky:
SIR: Your letter of the 10Th instant, in
| which you ''urgs the removal from the limits of
Kentucky of the military force noso organized and
in camp sCsthin said State,' is received.
may not possess full and precisely accu-
rate knowledge upon this subject; but l be-
/ lieve it is true that there is military force
| in camp within Kentucky, acting by authori-
| ty of the United States, which force is not
very large, and is not now being augmented.
also believe that some arms have been
| furnished to this force by the United States.
| also believe this force consists exclusive
ly of Kentuckians, having their camp in the
immediate vicinity of their own homes, and
not assailing or menacing any of the good
people of Kentucky.
In all ] have done in the premises, have
acted upon the urgent solicitations of many
Kentuckians. and in accordance with what |
believed, and still believe, to be the wish of
majority of all the Union-loving people of
Kentucky.
While have con, ersed on this subject
with many eminent men of Kentucky, in
GLIDING large majority of her members OF
Congress, i do not remember that any one OF
them, or any other person, except your Ex-
eellency and the bearers Of your Excellen-
cY1s letter, mas uTgeu NE 10 REMOVE Tue uiit-
tary force from Kentucky, or to disband it.
One other very worthy citizen of Kentucky
did solicit me to have the augmenting OF the
force suspended for time.
Taking all the means within my reach to
form Judgment, ] do not believe it is the
popular wish of Kentucky that this force
shall be removed beyond her limits; and,
| with this impression, L must respectfully de-
cline to SO remove it.
most cordially sympathize with your Ex-
cellency in the wish to preserve the peace of
my own native State, Kentucky; but it is
| with regret search and cannot find, in your
not very short letter, any declaration or In
] timation, that you entertain any desire for
| the preservation of the Federal Union.

UNITED STATES CHARTERED STEAMER
ADELAIDE, August 81, 1861.


SIR In obedience to your order, have
list of the wounded prisoners taken at the
surrender of Fort Hatteras.
The whole number is thirteen, and eleven
of these were transferred to this steamer by
the order of the fiag-oficer, Silas III. String
ham. The two remaining men were found
to be too seriously injured to permit of their
being removed, and were consequently left
in the fort in the charge of medical officer.
From the information which L have receiv-
ed from creditable source, have formed
the opinion that many of the wounded. and,
perhaps, all the killed. were sent on board
the rebel steamers in the Sound, prior to the
capitulation. Only two killed Were found,
and these were discovered in the outhouses
of Fort Clark, the day of the evacuation OF
that work.

Brown, formerly of the United States navy,
and at present holding commission IN the
army of the Confederate States, and Ia charge
of the medical department of Forts Hatteras
and Clark, that ex-Lieutenant Murdaugh, Of
the United States navy, was very badly IN
iured, fragment of shell striking his fore

rs The Louisville Journal was the first
and bitterest in denunciation of Lincoln 8
18th April Proclamation, and in applauding
the act of Governor Magofin refusing to obey
its demand. The Journal thought it would be
outrageous to furnish troops TO aid in the sub
jugation of the South; but now it thinks it is
the first duty of Kentuckians to give their
money for that purpose. The first would be
an invasion of neutrality-the latter would

~ We are credibly informed that many
of the old citizens of Southern Kentucky,
men of experience and influence who have
heretofore strongly opposed the separation
of their State from the Federal Union, are
openly declaring every day that they will
shoot down any tax-gatherer whom Lincoln
may send to collect means to carry on the
atrocious war, which he is making upon the
South. We have no doubt they will do pre-
eisely what they say they mean to do. When
that day arrives nine-tenths of the people of
Kentucky will refuse to pay the tax. Lin
coin will have to employ half million
men to collect it; and then he will fail.
