| The Pawnee, from Hatteras reports that on Tues.
day the Fanny, while communicating between Fort
Hatteras and the new encampment at Oregon Inlet,
was captured by three armed Rebel steamers. On
the day previous, she ran up without moesation,
and started the next day with large quantity OF
stores and ammunition and guard o. % lndisnAns
| When near her destination, three Rebel steamers
put out from behind Roanoke Island in pursuit The
Fanny was run aground and the captain and
crew escaped in small boat. They report that the
guard refused to throw the guns, ammunition, OF
stores overheard fire the boat, or make any resist
ance This statement If considered unsatisfactory
! The boat its contents, and all who remained on
board including the Quartermsster of the Indiana
Regiment Capt. Haite) and the Suffer of the regi'
ment were captured. The guns of the Fanny were
very fine ones, being a and 9-POunder. The
Fanny fired nine shots
! As coon az news of the capture was received at
Halteras, the Ceres and Putnam went in pursuit OF
the Rebel steamers, but it lie probable they made
| good their escape.
The Captain and crew of the Fanny are on board
of the Pawnse, and win be detained in custody.
The necessty of greater activity and better boats
on PauIco Sound is now apparent. Concern ia fell
for the Indiana regiments encamped at Oregon Inlet.
1t IL reduced to O toerable certainty, that Gen.
Wool has been called to Washington in connection
with affairs in FIemonts Department. Though the
GOVERN ent has not yet ordered the old Veteran to
the Mississippi the purpose is known to be enter
taned 1t Is not likely to be carried into execution,
however, against Gen. Woods own wishes. He has,
therefore, been summoned to the sat Of govern
ment TO consult abou the matter. He will spend but
one day there, and which way the question is deter
mined, he will be at his post here again on Sunday
morning. The presence Of Gen. Mansfield is, there
fore, as yet but temporary to be made perma-
nent it is presumed, in the event Gen.
Wool should be ordered 10 the West. To
send Gen. Wool to the Western Department
would almost necessarily involve other important
chsnges have no doubt that he viii frankly state
bis objections TO going. Independent Of other &C n
alterations, change in the commanding officer Of
this Department, even with an officer for Gen.
Woors successor as distinguished and able as Gen.
Mansfield. could now be made with benefit TO the
service. Gen. Wool, within the brief time he has
had command, has put the Department up to high
q or,I ia n
man-soldier or oicer-tbat would not regret 10 hear
Of a change.
Information has been received that Rebel
steamer lately ran the blockade, and entered the
harbor Of Savannah, with munitions clothing, and
equipments which are probably by this time in the
hands and n tie Lackr Of the Rebel. Although
due notice wss given TO tho blocksding vessels on
the coast that this steamer was expected, she has
in spite Of them ALL evsded their watchiulness. At
least, Flag Officer Goldsborough is in possession Of
information which would seem TO leave little or no
doubt on the subject. believe that the Wabash Is
the leading ship on the blockade of Savannah.
The 10th Regiment was paid of yesterday. Treas.
ury notes are plenty to-day, in consequence Of the
men having been paid large proportion in paper,
and 20 little coin. For instance, men who bad $22
coming to them were paid so in paper and e. in
coin. Probably more than half Of the money will
be RENTED to NewHork. The extent to which our
soldiers remit their pay il certainly much in their
praise. hear Of but little gambling in comparison
with the extent 10 which that vice has sometimes
prevailed in camps.
Persons who BY flags Of truce reach here, via Nor
folk, from Richmond and other cities in the South,

Huger went into the service Of JEFF. DAVIS, not only
at q late day, but with extreme reluctance, and
with the assurance 10 HE Union frends that he joined
