have come to the unanimous conclusion that
the accident was not eccasioned by any in

Official reports give full account Of the
ocraeoke Inlet Expedition, by the steamer
Fanny and launch, under the command Of
Lieut. Maxwell. rFTW TIfgE.T E
Ft. 0cracoke, situated on the seaWard face
of Bacon Island was entirely deserted. Il Is
of octagon shape. contains four shell-proof
rooms twenty-five feet square, and in the
central large bomb proof one hundred feet
square are the magazines.
Within tie above magazine on each side
are four large tanks for water, of which there
is none in the fort, all being brought from
Washington or Newbern. The fort is con-
structed with great care, Of sand in barrels
covered with ear'h and turf The inner
framing Of bomb-proof IS composed Of heavy
pine timber. There are platforms iortEeaty
guns partially destroyed by frs. The gun
carriages are all burned. -Four eiPhtinch
navy shell guns fourteen feet long, eight inch
navy she'll guns and fourteen long tLirty-
two pOunders are in the fort. Two we're
removed on Sunday.
The trunnions we're knocked of by solid
shot from the 64-pounders. While the rest
of the men were engaged, Lieut.. Eastman,
with the launch, went to Portsmouth, where
he found three inch navy shell guns Iying
on the beach, and one on its carriage, all
spiked There was no battery erected,
although one would have been built but for
the Yankee coming. The guns were dis
sbled by knocking off the case cable, and
leaving them in the salt water on the beach.
There had been camp at Portsmouth,
but portion of the troops were sent to Fort
Hatteras when attacked; the remainder retired
e the main land. fHk kJD y YIFf
Portsmouth,, which formerly had $50 In
nabitants, is nearly deserted. Those re-
naming seem to be Union men, and ex-.
pressed satisfaction st the visit Of the ex.
pediton. Lieut Eastman assured them they
would not be molested by the Government.
There were no intrenchments OF guns e
0cracoke.. The fishermen and pilots, who
fed sfter the attack on Hatteras, have gen.
orally returned.
After destroying the guns st Baton Island
Lieut.. Maxwell piled allthe lumber about
the bomb proof and burned il and the light
snip also. The destruction ofthe guns was a
necessity, there being no means Of removing
or defending them. ..----
