Copies Of uco CipJoed Reports Of a Rebel Chief
FoRT HArrERAs, July 25th, lSCl.
Col. WARREN WISsLow,
Military Secretary.
Col..: The day before yesterday we hoisted
our glorious flag over Fort Clark, strong
battery | have nearly finished, of five heavy
81 Founders, about II half mile from Fort
Hateras, which secures to us II cross.fre upon
the bar and the entrance to this inlet. now
consider this inlet secure against any attempt
OF the enemy 10 enter IL. Our force of men ]
think rather weak to resist Il land attack in
case The enemy should effect n landing in the
blight of Hatteras. IL we had three or four
additional companies here, should feel quite
safe even in that event
AS have before remarked, this inlet is the
key 10 AlOemarle sound, and it cannot be too
strictly guarded. We certainly are under the
espionage of the United States steamers as they
are seen every day or two in the onlng, although
tLcy keep without the range of our guns.
Ill had have received the ten inch Columbad,
we could have damaged them some on their
last visit three days since.
We now have two privateers in this harbor,
besides the war steamer Winsow. The Gordon,
Of Charleston, Captain Lockwood armed with
three guns, fine large Gamer. She returned
this morning with prize brig laden with three
hundred and sixty hogsheads of molasses. We
have also s,ucy looking little pilot schooner,
the Florida, mounting one six FOUNDER rifle
cannon. She captured prize two DAYS since,
took her crew out and sent her in with her own
men a United States Government steamer
gave chase To the prize, and they were obliged
10 beach her near Mays Head. She Of course
is Il total loss.
Yours respectfully,
Maj " W. BEvERHuuT THOMPSON
