1t has been suggested, and the sug-
gcstion is strongly seconded, that there
should be regular pilot boat, of from
10 to 100, tons kept stationed off the
Cape Lookout Banks, for thepurpose Of
bringing in Government and other
vessels to Beaufort, safely and expe-
ditiously. As matters are at present,
vessels are frequently, in fact as gen.
'eral thing, obliged to come close upon
the bar before they can get pilot, and
eyenthen cannot be boarded by the
pilots, haIf the time, without great de-
lay, ON account Of the heavy gales
which prevail at this season Of the
year. AS Beaufort is the only port
thus far open to commerce in the De-
partment of North Carolina, and as,
for this reason, many vessels are com
ing to that harbor constantly, the I'M
portance Of this suggestion is very OBJ
vious. 1t is to be hoped that an
arrangement will be speedily made by
which the interest of the Government
and of the commercial public may bt
subserved in the manner indicated.

Federal Rec0nnOisance to Hamil'

On the Sd inst, Major General Fos-
ter with about 5000 men made a re-
connoisance in force from Washington,
N. G., towards Weldon, with the in
tsntion of taking Williambton and
Hamilton, which points were strongly
fortified by intrenchments, and also to
interrupt the reported construction Of
iron clads on the Roanoke River. The
expedition advanced overland for
some distance without meeting an
enemy. The rebels; about 5000 strong,
made a stand, however, at a place
called Little Creek, but were repulsed
with slight loss. Our troops pushed
on to Williamson and Hamilton where

reconnaissance, recently, into New Top

mington, N. O., where very extensive
salt works was in operation, producing
some five hundred bushels per day,
Capt. Cushing sent d compaay Of his
brave blue jackets ashore under a
competent officer, who succeeded in
destroying completely the last vestige
Of their works. Some Of the pans,
used in boiling the salt water, were Of
copper, over fourteen feet in length.
The extensive reservoirs together with
all the masonry works and flats for
transporting wood, &C., were also de-
molished, On the approach of the
Ellis, they telegraphed, by smoke, to
Wilmington. announcing their danger,
which soon brought company OF fly
ing artillery to tW rescue. This bat
terry opened fire at short range on the
Ellis with great vindictiveness, and
accuracy, but were soon silenced and
obliged to beat hasty retreat, owing
to the long range given to Our mons
trous shells against which nothing can

to lessen the value of the results of the elec-

is determined by the circumstance that the
principle idea on which the recent canvass

were peace party in disguise, and with this
