SPLENDID NAVAL VICToET.-T'he naval ex-
pedition which lsst Fortress Monroe early last
week brought up OF Thursday at Hatteras
Inlet, on 1he North Carolina coast, and after
a brilliant engagement, lasting the greater
part of two days. succeeded in capturing two
lorts, with large amount Of arms, merchan.
die and other valuable property, and captur-
ing some six hundred prisoners. The position
Is a very important one, commanding the
greater part Of the North Carolina coast, and
f rming as it does an admirable base for ope-
rations in the interior, the government has
resolved to hold it.
The following is an official report of the
affair:
To the Secretary of the Navy 81 have to
inform you that we have been eminentiy sue
cess!ul. All that could be wished for by tho
most hopeful has been accomplished. We are
taking on board the Minnesota officers and
men numbering six hundred and fifteen, who

Another Official account SAYS the expedition
to Hattcras inlet resulted in a signal victory
over the rebels, capturing two forts, twenty,
five cannon; thousand 5tant Of afiis, and
fl5 prisoners, among whom are Capt Samuel
Barron, LIEUT.. Sharp 4nd DR. Brown, late u.

The loss on their side is not leaEned. A

Ser wounded, many of which were carried
away, Lieut.. MHnlock, late of the United

The surrender was unconditional. About

The reports which reach rs from
the rebel troops south OF the Potomac,
through Richmond, Memphis, Sc,
sources, show that a large number of
their soldiers are suffering from sick
ness. The prevailing diseases are
tire mulnps, smallpox, and meascIs !;
while among the Northern troops
there has been little. if any, of SINH
l,.r sickness. An officer, Who served
with distinction in the Mexican war,
assures the Philadelphia Press that
during that campaign. a similar state
Of things existed, and that. while in
nearly all the Southern regiments
great suffering was caused by a pre-
valcnce of the diseases referred to,
scarce lysingle Northern regiment was
attacked by them. His theory on the
subject is that the South being more
spareely settled than the North, dis
eases which, in this section attack
nearly all persons dnring their infan-
cy. are often not contracted there be
fore their citizens assemble in large
numbers in camps, after they have at
tained a mature age.

We call attention to the proclamation Of
Gov. Dennison, asking for more troops from
our State. Ohio responded nobly to the first
call for volunteers, the number oaered being
far more than could be received. The demand
for men is now urgent, and our State is not
responding with the spirit and to the extent
that other loyal States are responding, though
there has been decided improvement within
the last few days, and there s eyerx reason to
hope that the spirit and enthusiasm which
prevailed in April is about to return. There
is no time for delay. tits necessary that the
regiments now partially made up Ehotld at
once be filled and in the fed. All, therefore,
who contemplate volunteering, should do so
promptly. 1t is highly probable that il the
proper quota Of our State IS not speedily
raised the Governor will, in response to pub
tic sentiment, resort to drafting.

We have before mentioned the iiis
tention Of the Government to close
up some Of the smaller Southern ports
instead of detailing vessels constantly
to watch them. The Tallahassee Flor
idian saysl
On Wednesday last, the steamer Mo-
hawk brought the sloop Sloat, lately
captured BY her, up to the outer buoy
below st. Marks, where the crew of
the steamer scuttlcd the slOop and
sunk her across the channel, first hav-
ing cut her deck in pieces with axes
The steamer then went out again to
her old anchoring place. 4 b6at
from Fort Williams went to thesloop,
and succeeded in getting of licr rig'
ging, and some other articles. The
place where the sloop was sunk was
~ miles from Fort Williams; out Cf
the reach Of the guns. The channel
at the mouth Of the ST. Marksis very
narrow, so that. re presume; the sink
ing of q hull in it viii efFectually ob-
struct the passage of vessels into that
port.
