Fight at Fort HatteraS.

Com. Chauncey arrived at Wash.
ton on the 9th inst, from Hatteras In
let, bringing an account Of fight
which took place there on the Monday
previous. He reports that the rebels
organized an expedition to attack and
recapture the forts occupied by our
forces. The expedition consisted of
six steamboats, and 5000 men. The
steamers were armed with heavy RI
fled cannon and mortars for throwing
shells. The attack was simultaneous
but Intellectual. The forts fired shells
and were assisted by the vessels sta
toned off the Inlet. After time the
rebels retired, though not before two
or three of the rebel steamers had
been sunk, going down with all on
board. Judging from the crowded
appearance of the vessels, it is esti-
mated that about 700 men were
drowned, besides which q large loss
must have been sustained from the
the bursting of our shells and the
plunging of our shot, as the guns were
served in a most mastery manner.

New Orleans Taken.

The Louisville Journal of the 9th

Louisville that New Orleans had been
occupied by the Federal troops. The
intelligence was received by way OF
Nashville, Tenn, and in such man

were led to believe that the rumors
had foundation in fact. One report,
in which the Journal places conf

possession of the city without firing a
gun. That paper adds:
1t is said that the fleet, after the
dcsertion of Ship Island by the rebels,
passed Mississippi. City, Biloxi, and
Pass Christian, which were evacuated,
and made an easy conquest of city
1t was found that the incomplete forti

Military ORGANIZATION in Iowa.

Gov. Kirkwood, has sent the follow
ing order to the County Judge of
Des Moines County
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, Iowa
October 3, 1861.
County Judge. Des Moines County
SIR The present condition of af-
fairs in Missouri is such as to render
it prudent for us in Iowa to be pre-
pared for possible reverses there.
Should the Rebels gain the battle soon
to be fought there, it is not improb-
able they may endeavor to enter our
State. We should be prepared to
meet this emergency. To this end,
two things are necessary
tion and arms.
In order to effect an organization
in your county, you are hereby APP
pointed to organize into Companies
and Regiments all able-bodied men in
your county liable to perform militia
ry duty, under Chapter II of the Acts
OF the Extra Session, 1861. These
Companies and Regiments, as thus
organized, are only for the defence of
the State, and cannot be transferred
as such to the service of the United
States. If however, Companies are
organizing in your county for United
States service, you will not interfere
with such organizations, but afford
them all proper facilities Report to
the Adjutant General, at Davenport,
each Regiment, as soon as organized,
and commissions will be forwarded.
You will perceive by the law, that
companies may consist of not less
than As, or more than 100 men. En-
deavor to have each company filled to
the highest number.
As you are aware, the State is not
properly armed, nor can arms be had
at present by the Suite. Under these
circumstances, you will require every
man in your county having private
arms, to report the number and kind
of arms he has. Double barreled shot
guns and hunting rifles, although not
the best, are good arms in the hands
of brave men. If arms of this kind
are in the hands of persons in whose
families there are not men liable to
military duty, yon will have such APP
praised. and receipted for in the name
of the State, to be paid for if lost or in
jured, or not returned and when You
deliver the same to any company, take
bond from the Captain for the same,
at the appraised value, keeping a corr
rect list to show the owner Of each
arm and the Captain to whom deliver
ed. The Captain will take from the
privates to whom arms are thus de.
livered bonds for the same.
Of each Regiment thus organized,
two companies may be mounted men,
or two companies of mounted men
may be attached to each Regiment.
The force thus organized is strictly
for the defence of the property and
homes of its members. Every man
must furnish his own clothing, horse
and equipments, and all will hold
themselves in readiness to march at
moments notice. AS soon as Regi-
ment is organized. you may call it
together for one days drill, and then
dismiss the men after having perfect
ed arrangements for calling them to-
gether again, with the least possible
delay, in case of emergency.
Understand for yourself, and have
all others understand, that the work
hereby enjoined is specially for your
and their own protection. and let your
action be prompt. decided and earnest.

Darnestown is representative of
the thriftless little villages scattered
through the rural districts of Mary

pointless houses an old tavern !;

groes and chickens, constitute the
make up Of the place. There may be

forgotten the natives, who are as
stolid and shiftlcss as the same race
of other similar chivalrous localities.
Few Of them know the height of
Sugarloaf," the distance to Great
Falls, or other local facts which Yankee
boys of ten would naturally learn and
remember. Such people seem to have
neither sense, sentiment, nor faith !;
only kind of blind affiliation with
the South, and hopeless devotion to
the dceaying system which is their
heritage and curse.

From Washington.

A special despatch from Washing
ton, of the 18th inst, says the the city
and the camps had been the scene Of
more than the usual excitement, fol
the last thirty hours-the prospect of
a battle appearing, on Saturday even
ing, to be imminent. During an ex.
tended reconnaissance on Saturday af.
ternoon, the enemy were discovered
drawn up in lines as if for battle, and
in numbers that showed a recent
great accession to their troops in this
quarter. 1t was believed that it was
their intention to engage, and Gen.
Mcclellan at once made preparations
to give them battle. Though no bat
tie then, or has since resulted, the ar
my has carried itself through what
was believed to be the night before a
battle, with spirit and enthusiasm
most gratifying and suspicious.
Later in the evening skirmishing
began between the pickcts, and some
of ours were driven in by superior
numbers of rebel cavalry. Numerous
shots were exchanged, and one of the
rebel cavalry was killed.
Gen. Mcclellan and his officers were
in the saddle all night, and morning
saw them offering an imposing line of
battle, with readiness for general
engagement, should such be the re-
suit, when it was found the rebels had
prudently retired, having withdrawn
their pickets two miles beyond Lew
insville.
The affair, though without marked
result, is still most valuable in the
proof it gives of the effective mobili-
ty of our which cannot be far
distant from a more brilliant and prac-
tical test.
The traces of the enemy's camps,
found by our forces as they advanced,
show conclusively that the enemy, un.
til recently had force of at least
100000 men, in direct line from Ma
nassas Hill to townsville Bridge.
Gen. Stoneman, Chief of Cavalry in
Gen. McClellan's staff, has been APP
pointed Major General of volunteer
forces, that he may personally super
intend and control the large cavalry
forces now i'm the field.
There is gradual and steady adj
vance of our army upon the receding
lines of the army of the enemy, south
of the Potomac. Regiment after reg
iment, and occasionally whole brig
AIDES, strike their tents and advance
mile or two towards the enemy, and
then commence cutting down the trees
and Strengthening their positions.
Where the pickets of the enemy stood
three days ago, our men are now at
work.
Recent Investigations show that
there is not single rebel fertilization
on the Potomac at any other place
than Aqua Creek. The guns at Free
stone Point which fortnight since
fired upon our vessels, causing fear
that navigation was impeded, was a
field battery on its way south. YES
sells can pass three miles beyond the
Aqua Creek battery, which cannot
harm them.

A despatch from New Orleans of
the 4th inst, to the Richmond Exami-
ncr tells Of the most important achiev-
ment of the war so far. This infor-
nation is that the United States block
aiding squadron have dug passage
through the mud Of one of the five
mouths of the Mississippi river to the
Sand Spit, which commands the whole
five of them, and now have the Vim
cennes, Water WITCH and two other
vessels of the squadron to protect the
Spit. The erecting of our works will
command five of the mouths, passes,
or entrances to and from the Missis-
sippi river. Once perfectly built this
work alone will absolutely control the
communication of New Orleans with
the sea as completely as a blockading
squadron of twenty ships of war could
accomplish that object

Gen. Wool and the Western Command.

Advices from Washington are that
Gen. Wool, the officer second in rank
in the United States army. had been
rendered the command, as successor
to Fremont, of the Military Depart
ment of the West F; and that, after
examining the situation here, as
exhibited by official reports at the cap
ital, Gen. Wool declined to accept, UNI
less guaranteed immediate reinforce
ments, and additional supplies of war
material. These could not be assured
to him, and his consequent refusal was
final. This significant fact doubtless
taught certain high officials much
needed lesson. Probably they began
to open their eyes upon the actual ne
cessities of the Department and the
paucity Of the means conceded to FIRE.
mont for his immense task. Perhaps
they thought that, after all, nothing
had occurred that should weaken the
cogent reasons that had led to the Sc
lection Of Fremont.
The veteran Wool was too sagacious
to peril his hard earned fame by trust
ing it to the inadequate support slug
gishly accorded to the Western COM
mand. His refusal, with the reasons
for it, is the best vindication Fremont
could have. The country cannot fail
to mark the emphatic Justification and
genuine compliment thus rendered by
General Wool to the Commandant of
this Department. Without the prompt
and efficient aid of the Government in
men, arms, equipments, &C., for the
want of which it is painfully evident
that Fremont has suffered, Wool virtu-
ally confesses his inability to do more
than Fremont.
is it then expected that Fremont
can accomplish impossibilities? Since
no experienced soldier can be found
to attempt Fremont's task, will some
croaker from the civil ranks be reques.
ted to assume it?- No doubt some
such person would feel himself perfect.
