one of the most important movements SINCE
the Rebellion began. To render it compete "nu
70 foloyy nm the blow inflicted at HatteraS'
Zen Wool sboud be immediately REINFORCED oy
not less than $1,000 men. Tbs, uno',S'"IN'
is the view which the General taxes O"oAou y
the Undertaking opinion OF Coniihoooio S"i"e
ham 20 the same purport. Win suhicion'
foyce NJ his command, Gen. Wool, IN copJunc-
,on with the Commodore, will plant our nag
,looo tho Southern coast, and compel the Rebels
70 abandon their operations in the vicinity OF Wash
ipetop. or allow the South to fall into our hands
without serious resistance. 1t is not the policy
of Gen. Wool to run his head against forts OF
blind batteries. Now and then, as at Hatteras,
n KEY pojnt would be attacked and taken, but
the policy Of wasting strength on iorthcauohs
merely because the Rebels have constructed them
in the expectation they will be attacked, VIII
not be pursted. Fifteen thousand men operating
on the Southern coast, VIII do more to defeat
the Rebel army near Washington than the same
number can accomplish under the most favorable
circumstances on the Potomac. The taking OF
Hatteras, and the consequent prostraton OF the
,uucb.vaunted coast defenses of North Carolina
was a shock felt more sensibly at Richmond, aud IN
Besuregard's camp, than anywhere else. Though
hundreds of miles away, the blow fell on the
flank OF the Rebel army on the Potomac WDy'
then. should no. that blow be followed up and
repeated rapidly and with the same stunning
eject If il is the policy OF the Government 10
strike blows whenever and wherever they VIII
tell most, it seem, as though troops would not
be wanting.
The Potomac steamer Mount Vernon, arrived
here from Washington this morning, bringing dis
matches for Commodore StriDgham, the nature OF
which may be inferred from the fact that the
Commodore immediately dispatched the Seminole
10 tee Potomac, and held conference win
Gen. Wool. This circumstance taken IN con-
peetion with the failure OF the Baltimore boat 10
arrive creates an uneasiness, ard the belief that
stirring events are transpiring IN Gen. McCiel-
lan's department
Commodore Pendergrsst has not retired from
The service, ne might be inferred from what
said yesterday, but is only temporarily on leave.
He LETT by the boat last evening and his leave
taking with the jolly tars was sn interesting
,cere. The officers of the garrison brought their
bard TO the dock, who played several patriotic
pinces and as the boat moved off rousiug cheers
were given by large crowd that had assem-.
bled to testify their respect for the gallant old
Commodore. 1t is not improbable, that after
spending short time with bis family now in
Baltimore, CON- p. may reappear on the scene
of active duty in connection with expeditions
that will derive great advantage from his expert
.nce, sound Judgment, and Jealous devotion to the
patriotic cause.
CAPT. Dyer has returned to the fortress 20
take final leave preparatory to entering on his
dut es as Superintendent of Springfield Arsenal
and Armory. He will be succeeded az Chief Of
the Ordnance here, by Lieut. Baylor, who has
for some time been his assistant Lieut.. Baylor
il one of the most meritOrious as well as modest
officers in the service. A Southerner by birth,
marriage, and interest, save that which related
10 his connection with the army, he more liter
ally sacrificed everything than any one whose
case has come TO my knowledge TO sustain the flag.
An able and faithful officer and true man, he has
the confidence and respect Of the whole army,
md of none so much as those who know him
best.
The Minnesota has not yet returned from
New-York. Commodore Stringhsm has been
here several days awaiting the return Of his
noble frgate, though BY no means idle, for the
operations on the coast give him enough TO do.
1t is understood that Col. Wyman's Regiment
(Massachusetts l6th) will be sent to Newport
News to replace Col. Hawkins regiment. The
regiment 10 remarkably we'll equipped, they hsy-
Jug I25 horses and "a wagons, and every thing
else on the same scale.
1t 10 Brigadier-GeD. John F. Reynolds that has
been ordered 10 Hatteras the same officer had
in nv mind and described, though i gave him
another middle initial He il expected TO arrive
in few days.
In view Of landing being made on the coast
Of North Carolina, beg leave to suggest that q
carefully considered and proper proclamation to
the citizens of that State should be prepared
and printed 20 q. to be put in circulation in
large numbers. The good effect would not be
confined 10 that locah.y or State. The right
sort of document would be seed that would bear
fruit throughout the South, and the opportunity
10 make an appeal to the good sense and interest
of the people Of the Reyclted States ought not
to be lost.
