News Of this morsing says that a letter dated
the 18th, confirms the capture of Cedar Keys.
The Confederates burned the town, wharves,
and FIVE loaded schooners in the port; also fifty
bales Of cotton and one hundred and fifty bar
rels of turpentine. The schooner Fanny escaped

and some ladies, was captured by the Yankees.
The men were ironed by the captain of the
schooner Ann Smith. Some civilians were re-
leased on parole, after two days confinement.
A letter from Fernaudina, in the Republican,
says the citizens of Cedar Keys were not mo-
Tested, and private property not taken. The
enemy left the place.

that the Federal gunboat came up near that post
on the 22d, and fred four shots from behind the
point of the island, one of which passed through
the chimney Of tie steamer Lynn Boyd, lying
near the fort, and fell in front of her bow. One
S-inch mortar shell burst and fell in the fort. No

THE FEDERAL FLEET Al HATTERAs.-We
are positively assured, says the Newbern Progress
of Monday, that intelligence was received at the
military headquarters here on Saturday, that a
feet of over forty steamers were inside the bar
at Hatteras on the 18th. This information is
from an official source and Gen. Branch gives it
full credence. This, of course, is the Burnside
expedition. Whether it is destined to attack
Newbern, Washington, Roanoke Island, or go
further south, no one can tell.

GEN. SCHGPF-The New Orleans Delta,
says Gen. SchGpf is, we suppose, the Federal
commander who fought Gems. Crittenden and
Lolicofer at Somerset. Schupf is a German,
and tue reader may r~ecoliect that we published
some weeks since a sketch Of his singular ca
reer in America, taken from a Cincinnati paper.
On landing at New York he was employed as a
porter in one of the hotels. Thence he went to
Washington and was serving in the same capac-
lty there, where he attracted the attention Of
Holt, who at the time was Postmaster General,
and engaged him in some insignificant position
in the department. At the breaking out Of this
war it was discovered that he had received d
military education, and through the influence Of
Holt and Scott he was appointed a brigsdier.

Fort HENRT.-This fort, at present a point
to which the country is locking with interest, is
ninety miles from Paducah, and twenty miles
below the long bridge, across the Tennessee, Of
the Memphis and Ohio railroad. 1t is an open
fort, (not casemated) but has, we understand,
several very heavy guns in battery. Fort Dom
eison is on the Cumberland river, and thirteen
miles distant from Fort Henry.
II The Mobile Tribune, of the oath, states
that the schooner Jesse Richards, Capt. North
rup, in attempting to run the blockade on
Wednesday, got aground on the east side of the
pass, about two miles from Fort Morgan. She
went out without a pilot, which is supposed to
be the reason Of her grounding. She was set on
fire and abandoned.

THE WOUNDED.
Col II. NJ Fogg, aid to Gen. ZolIicoaer. was
wounded early in The engagement. Our reports
in regard to his condition are conflicting. A dis
patch to Orville Ewing, Esq, states that Orvile
Ewing, son of the Hon. Edwin Ewing, of this
city, is wounded and a prisoner. Two sons of
John d. GOss, Esq, of this city, are among the
wounded. VIM. Battle, son Of the colonel Of the
regiment, is a among the list. Col. Stanton,
slightly.
OUR Loss.
It is impossible at this moment to sum up the
extent of our less. According to the northern
accounts which we publish in our Geographic
columns this morning, our loss in killed and
wounded is put down al 275. with no statement
in regard . the number Of prisoners taken.
We hear that in addition to baggage, artills-
~, etc, left on the field, 22OO head Of horses and
mules were left behind snd probably captured
by the Federals. We are inclined to think this
statement an ~exaggeration.
LATER.
Several members of Col. McNairy's battalion
arrived here last night, who report Lieut.. Shields
not killed but wounded. We also learn from
them that cur hospital was destroyed, and the
sick burned
We have neither the time nor inclination this
morning, to speak of the causes which led to
so great a disaster. Suffice it to say, that a ter
rible responsibility rests upon the heads Of those
high in command, and we shall take occasion
hereafter to apply censuro where it justly be-
longs.
The Knoxville Register says
Our troops fell back to the b~reastworks under
command Of Gen. Crittenden, who was not
wounded, as Is stated above, and was active in
duty.
Under cover Of night our forces were trans
ported speedily across tho river, and when the
messenger left were ordered to fall back 60 Fort
MeGinnis, twenty-five miles in this direction.
In the engagement, RUtledge's and Meetings.
batteries were lost, except two pieces Of the for
mer, which were stationed with MonsaTrat's bat
terry, on the south side of the river, and are safe.
Our loss was not very heavy, but our men
became panic stricken after the fall Of General
Zolicofer.
Gen. Shoepf commanded the Federal forces,
and is supposed that he was assisted by Gen.
Rosencranz. Their force was three to our one.
Several Of our men came in yesterday, and re-

One hundred and twenty-five Yankee vessels

attack is to be made simultaneously at three DIFF
ferent points on the North Carolina coast This
is stirring news, indeed. There is d northeast
storm prevailing here, which may be-let US
hope that it is-a perfect gale at Hatteras, and
which may dispense this immense naval force or
strand them upon the treacherous beach there.
Winds and waves permitting, however, Burn
