c. It ia amusing how easy it is for the
Republican journals to cut out work for the
Federal army and navy. As an instance, the
Cincinnati Commercial thus dilates on the Fort
Hattsras exploit:
The whole country is impatient to hear Of
more expeditions to strike the Southern coast.
The TAXI 2 Of the Forts at Hatteras Inlet is
important in itself, and significant as showing
what could be done. There are several places
on the coast Of South Carolina that might be
taken and held with great advantage and little
loss. In four weeks active operations by be
feet and army, easily collected at Fortress
Monroe, foetholds could be obtained on the
secession shore, such that the idea OF raising
the blockade would be prepOsterous. Il would
be a capital idea to open FIRE on Gen. Bragg's
batteries from Fort Pickens. He has Dot got
The ammunition to make much Of a lombard
ment, and the immense Columbiads and riaed
cannon that now abound on Santa Rosa Island
could pepper him handsomely. Why not i'm
mediately make an attack on the Charleston
defenses? An army of ten Thousand would
be ample to TepOssess Forts Moultrie and
Sumter. The old flag must fly from those
walls again. Depend upon it, our fleet cannot
remain idle.

OUR ACKNOLEDGEmENT As
EELNIl.EEENT POWER.


Though the Lincoln government still refuses
to officially accord to the Confederate States
their acknowledgement as belligerent power,
various military officers in the Federal service
are continually doing so without being repri-
manded in the slightest from headquarters at
Washington.
BUTLER, when at Fortress Monroe, ex-
changed prisoners with Gen. MAGRUDER.
Col. WALLAcE, the abolition commander at
Cape Girardeau, has within tie past few DAYS
exchanged prisoners under a recognized flag
OF truce with Gen Pillow, and Commodore
-srRrNeHAM accepted the population of Fort
Hatteras under the express stipulation to treat
Capt. BARROW and hrs garrison as prisoners
of war, and as such award them all the usual
courtesies sppertsining to beIligerents.
Such a psltry dodge as this is unworthy
even Of the gorilla concern over which ABE
LINCOLN presides.
u The a%trOcity of FremOnCs Infamous
proclamation, recently issued, can better he
appreciated when it is known that a paper 80
abandoned to abolitiOnism as the Louisville
Journal condemns it, though quite timidly.
SAYS that organ Of treason and fslsehoOd {:
''The proclamation Of martial law in Missouri,
BY Msior-G General Fremont, is a step of ex-
IRENE severity. We are aware of nothing in
the condition Of Missouri that justifesthe step.
Whether it is approved by the civil authorities
OF Missouri, and the military authorities Of the
nation, or By either, we know not. We how
ever shall probably know in the course of a
very few boufs. Meanwhile, we can but pro-
fouDdlv regret and condemn the measure.

INTERPRETING INCIDENT I'm THE
UAK AfLL VLCTnkY.

EDITORS APPEAL: An incident which oc-
CURED in the battle Of OAK Hill, has just been
related to me which is we'll worthy a place
among the items of interest in that great con-
fict. Mr.. John A. Quarles, a young man Of
Arkansas, VINO had been prevented by illness
from joining a company which went to Mis-
souri, from his neighboThood left home as soon
as be became well enough, with a view Of
joining McCuiloch's army. He arrived at the
camPjnst in time to take part in the great
battle, and fought as an Independent volunteer
in The hottest part Of the field. He and an
other young aTkansian, a. McNtill, were
taken prisoners in the battle, their guns, pis
tolls, and all their money stolen from them, and
they themselves were posted by the enemy in
front Of the ranks, and finally they we're placed
in the front of SigePs battery that they might
be killed by heir own friends During tie
terrible storm Of balls that came rushing from
our troops against this battery, young Q1aT!es
had presence OF mind enough to suggest to his
companion that they should fall upon the
ground, as though killed. It was nst loEg be.
fore the gallant LGuisianians st0rmed this
battery and delivered the two young men from
their terrible condition, and they yet live to
ight under McCuiloch again. While the de-
iveraLcs Of these young men is a source OF
Joy to US all, what picture does this narrative
present Of he thieVisb and mUrdeTOus PToFen-
stiles Of those monsters in human form, who
are fshting Liacoln's battles! W.

HATTERAs INLET.-As the atten ion cf
most OF our readers will be drawn TO the map,
to find out the position Of this place, and as it
is down OF but few if any Of them, we will
try and describe it's location. On nearly every
map Ocracoke inlet will be found, and about
eighteen miles North Of that is situated Hat
teras inlet, which we believe is a new cnan-
mel having cut its way through the quicksand
quite recently. It will admit vessels Of from
ten to thirteen feet draft, but inside there is a
swash which will allow only seven and a half
feet to 90 over. OcracOke bar has about the
same water, but the swash inside not 80 much,
hence the superiority Of Hat'eras inlet. The
batteries (for we learn there are two) which
fought the action noticed by telegraph this
morning, are situated on the South END Of the
Island on which Cape Hatteras stands, but is
the North side # Hatteras inlet-the South
side not being fortified, The Importance of
Hatteras inlet and 0cracOke bar, is in eOnse
quence of these channels being the outlets to
an extensive district Of country, now that
Norfolk is blockaded, and should the enemy be
properly provided with light draught steamers
heavily armed, be might do infinite mischief
by going up the sounds and rivers. The mat
ter should be looked after forthwith and the
enemy routed before he has time to strengthen
him. elf.-ChGrlestOH Courier.

our army on inc Potomac

The Richmond Dispatch Of the ID Inst. says
that for come days our army under Gems.
Johnston and Bsauregardha has been getting into
close quarters with the enemy. Advanced de-
tachments have had sharp skirmishing, in
which there has been a considerable number
killed and wounded, (fewer on our side than
On that Of the enemy,) aud we have a few
prisoners. We have gained several important
positions-especiaIly one which is understood
to command Arlington. The enemy will soon
have to make up his mind to fight a serious
battle or retreat across the Potomac. We
may therefore look daily for stirring events.
We know what Our officers and men can DO,
and we suppose there is nobody here who
doubts what the result will be when the eX-
pccted collision takes place.
