C. SATLRDAT MOKNING, SEPT. 21, 1301. TIIK CAPTt'RE OF FORT HATTER AS .Til K STATEMCTT OP-tiCAERAL H tLTEK GWn.1.. A a matter of justice to the country, no than to the author of it, .whose conduct hubeeo grossly misrepresented, we cheer fully jieU a good deal ol our space to-day to the clear and matter-of-fact itatementrby o'ecrral Gwjna of his transactions in regard to the defence of-the Coast of this State. This statement 'makes not', astounding dis closures of gross negligence on the part of oxe of the authorities of this State, and most triamphactij exonerates Gen' I Gwjnn from tor, the slightest blame for the disaster at liatteras. According to this statement, jearcely a recommendation or requisition cade Itj General Gwjno was ever.eonj plied with bj tbe authorities baring jurisdiction in tie premises. Had the adriee giren been Ulotred, aad the requisitions made by Gen'l Gvjnn complied with, liatteras would, ia all trcbabilitj hate been now in our possession, iortead otthat if the enemj. It would al most seem that liatteras was giren away. Tbe reader will be struck, with that portion of General Gwjoa'a sUteatnt which relates to the condition of Fort liatteras. It was currently reported after the surrender that the Fort was giren up because it vxu not bomb proof, audi Km Garrison vert in, momentary apprehension of the txplosure of the Maga zine. Tbe statement shows that the Fort luw s'ands intact, and that, in fict, it is a trooger work than anj of those erected for the defence of Charleston and seige of Fort Sumter. . - Taking it all together, the loss of natio ns Uooe of the most extraordinary erents of the times. The disregard of Gen'l Gwjnn's repeated, and almost importunate reqeumons; tbe disregard of tha plan laid down by him for the reception of the enemy 'oa his attempt ing to land ; the permitting three hundred -f the enemy to remain safely on shore all night in the occupancy of the eamp designa ted by General Gwjnn for our troops, and also Fort Clarke; and the erowdiog into Fort Hstreias, against bis express injunction of nearly four times as many men as it could usefully bold, are all features of this tarns action which mark it as one of 'the roost extraordinary of the age. AX ARTICLE OK A MISCHIEVOUS TENDENCY. The last State Journal eoutains an article wLicb, in our opinion, has amischierous ten dency. .We allude to the article on the "Election of Senators." For our own part, we hiiled the result of the Senatorial elec tion as a sign that all mere sectional strife in the tate bad been merged, at least for the resent, in a united and efficient action against the common foe of all tha sections of tbe State, and of the Sooth, and bad two western gentlemen been inrested with the Senatorial robes, we should hare been equally pleased at tbe indication, that until our. rights and liberties shall be triumphantly r in die a ted and the randal toe driven from our soil, North Carolina will know no section but that of a united South. Why, then, should the "State," or any other Journal, use, language ealealated to promote heartburnings auddia eord, which otherwise would not exist 1 'In looking orer the rotes, we", see that western men rotcd for Mr. Dortch, and as yet we Lire heard of no complaint on the part of the U'et, and we earnestly hope that the Jour nal's article will not find a response from aoy in in in the West. OX TO WASHINGTON. Some of our contemporaries of the Press are manifesting great impatience at the de lay of otfr troops before Washington. . They hare forgot the lesion taugbt tbe Yankees bja prematore-' attempt at compliance with the order of tOn to Kiohmond,'! uaued by the Northern Press, and would bare Beaure gard and Johnson to be- guided by tbe coun sel of their editorial sanctums, distant miles away from tie contemplated ecene.of action, instead of their own military education and experience, and the lights of personal obser vation.' For oar owa part, while as anxious as any one can be, for the capture of, the Federal Capital. - We hare the most abiding cooSdence that our noble commanders know how to strike the blow at the right time, and to their judgment we are content to leare tbe 'olauoo of the question of when it is expedi ent to go On to Washington." . ELECTIOS OF SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OK COMMON. ' lion. Wm. T. Dortch, ' Senator elect to the Confederate Congress, hating, resigned Lis seat ia the llouae of Commons, and con sequently the Speakership thereof, N. N.' Fleming, Esq., was elected as bis successor.

We understand that in compliance with the Proclamation of the Governor, a large quantity of Bacon and Leather, en route tor Virginia, and the property of e peculators, was seized at the' Depot of the North Caro lina Bail Eoad in this city on Wednesday. We bear, also, that, a quantity of Bacon bought on speculation, and destined for a point out of tbe State, has beenlseixed at High Point.."; - :';.-. . : ;j . , f opeaxiog oi .speculators, we are constrain ed to say that glaring attempts at monopo lising the article of Bacon baro been made in this quarter. One concern, composed of two individuals not engaged in mercantile business and paying no merchant's license, bare bought a large quantity of'Bacon'at 18 cents or less per pound,1 and are selling it at ZD cents. ,JN ow we are willing to see any man make a-reasonable profit on bis invest ments, but we do contend that a profit of 7 cents a pound on B aeon is most unreasona ble and extortionate. ' Thu is no time for taking selfish advantages of the necessities of the country. Instead of doing so, rnea should be content "to lire and let lire.?' ; WRECK OF THE TKIVATEER SUMTEK. Tbe following appeared in the second edition of the New York Herald of Thursday last: ; i Capt. AtkiDton, of tbe bark Venus, from Cura coa, arrived thi (Tbunday) morning, report: The Venezuela Consul at Curacoa bud received advicea from Caracas (Venezuela) to August 22, which stated that the privateer Sumter had gone ashore on the Ilandof Trinidad Port of Spain about tbe 20th August, and bad become a total wreck. . 1 The Herald of Friday last publishes the follow ing facts concerning the Sumter : j Captain Atkinson left Curacoa on the 29th ulL tor New York, in command of the bark Venus, with a cargo of salt, &c, consigned to Hesera. Jeph Foulkea & Sons, No. 25 Beaver street, New York. . A few hours before leaving a vessel arrived from Uconagua, bringing a Carracas pa per, dated the 22d ult., and furnuhing full and mart authentic particular of the total destruction of the privateor Sumter. Tbe newenaier wai ent specially to tbe Venezuelan Consul at Cura coa, it was uppnsod, for this express pur poo. It stated that tbe Sumter was wrecked on the Island of Trinidad, and wm bound lor tbe Brsziliao coast on a a cruise." Tbe Consul was the first to convey the tidings to Captain Atkinson, and said, at the same time, his convictions ware that tbe information was correct In every particular. Ia corroboration of the above facts, the Captain informs us that he brought a young man with him belonging to the crew of the Sumter, who escaped from her at Curacoa by juming overboard and secreting himself in a private place until ste left that place, when he engaged with Captain Atkin son as a sailor. When the young man came to learn tre disastrous intelligence respecting ler, he then mae known hia mind more fullv, saying that he theught that would be the end of the pri vateer, in&snuich as when he was aboard of her the crew were .in a mil dissatUSed state, owing to the treatment they bad received. He expressed also his firm belief that the crew bad run ber abore purposely, as they were worn out and tired wiih ber commander and bis mo re menu. - From all these facts, Captain Atkinson believes that she is a total wreck, as well as from the gen eral conclusions come to by tbe inhabitants of Curacoa. . ';; NAVAL "BRUSH" OFF NEWS. NEWPORT The Norfolk Day Buok bas the following ac count of the naval '-brush" that occurred off Newport News on Friday evening last: ( r, Friday afternoon, a couple of hours' before dark, the Con federate steamer Tatrick Henry, for merly the Yurktown, dropped down to a position rear 'Newport News, for the purpose of wing the Federal vessels in that neigborhood as a target to try tbe range of her goni. The U. S. frigate Savannah and a large sloop-of-war, together with the gunboat Dsvlight, (a larger steamer than the Tatrick Henry,) were lying ft that Point when the Patrick Henry hove in sight. Tbe Patrick Henry ban red away at tbe two men of war, and they replied to ber, from tbe position at which they were anchored, and the Da light ad vancod to get a closer engagement. The Patrick Henry apparently tolled the Daylight aloDg by.fi ring a few shoU, which seemed to fall short; "ith this incentive, the Daylight continued to advance on ber until she got close enough for the . Patrick Henry to give her what the fancy term "a sock dologer' and on receipt of this shot the Daylight left and dropped down below the men-of-war, where she remained lor about bait an nour or so, and again advanced, this time apparently a little mora cautiously. Jjhe, however, suffered herself to get near enough to tbe rebel stnamer to receive another "f tun ner" from ber, with which she retired again in the rear of the two large ves sels, and did not again advance.. "All or this time tbe men-ot-wsr were nnng at the Patrick Henry, which continued to return their fire with great rpirit, though with what effect on either side, we are unable to say, as our inform ant could not see abere tlie shot struck, owing to tbe mist of evening. Tbe engagement lasted for two boors, and was only discontinued when too dark to fight longer, by tbe Patrick Henry draw ing off and retiring cp J amca river. ', GEN. POLK'S PROCLAMATION. Gen. Polk, of the Confederate States Array, has issued the following proclamation to the people of Kentucky: Tbe Federal Government having", in defiance of the wishes of the people of Kentucky, disre- a .a . v. t 11 M. t . garaea ineir neutrality oy estaoiuoing camp depots for their armies, and by organizing mili tary companies within the territory,- and by es tablishing military wrrks on the Missouri shore immediately opposite and commanding Celum bus, evidently intended to- cover the landing of troops for the seizure of that town, it has become a military necessity for the defence of the territo ry of tbe Confederate States that a Confederate force should occupy Oolumboa in advance. - "The Msjor-General commanding has, there fore, not felt himself at liberty to assume the los of so important a position, but has decided to oc cupy iu" Ia rursuance of this decision he has thrown a auOcient force into the town and or dered tberu to fortify it. It is gratifying to know that tbe presence of his troops is acceptable to the people of Columbos, and on this occasion he as sures tbem that every precaution will be taken to insure their qaiet and the protection of their pro perty, with all their personal corporate rights. ,:-r- LEON I DAS FOLK.' w "Columbus, tb day September, 1 8G1 ." .

From the Richmond Dispatch. V ." GEN. FLOYD'S ENGAGEMENT WITH . f KOSENCKANZ. . Sureeon Clark,1 of Col. Wharton's Regiment, Gen. Floyd's Brigade, and Adjutant Otey, of the same regiment, reached the city yesterday- even ing from the camp of Generals Floyd and Wise, at the foot of Sewell Mountain, which they left on Friday noon. They bring dispatches to the Gov ernment. Tht former gentleman relates to us tbe following particulars of the engagement at Carnifax Ferry: . - -- v- Gen. Floyd bad warning of the approach of Rosencranz, and had thrown up a small earth work-in the centre, of his line, which was formed serosa. a bend in the Gaulev just at the Ferry. Some logs, rails, and brush were also thrown op here and there bo tore the regiment, forming a very imperfect potection,n4ieetving the name, and anything in the world but the powerful for tification spoken of by Rosencran.f For the cen tre breast-work there were six smooth-bore guns, possibly ten-pounders, and one rifled cannon These had just arrived, under Capt. Guy, 'of Goochland, and but for them the General would have bad none. These seven cannon are magni-' fled in Roeencranz's report to sixteen! Oat of five Regiments Gon. Floyd had seventeen hundred available men ; Rosencranz estimates them at five thousand! .. Rosencranz had eleven tttousand men under his immediate command below Summersville. Five thousand of these he ordered to the attack of Floyd's line at about 3 o'clock on Tuesday, the 10th inst. Six thousand were held in reserve. The attack was received firmly, and the fire of the enemy wa3 vigorously returned., Three attempts were made to flank our little army, and each was re pulsed with severe loss. One bold charge was made to take the battery ; but such - a "terrific fire" was directed upon the assailants by. Capt. Guy, that they were swept back, and did not re new the attempt. The last charge was made on tbe extreme left by a German Regiment, which was driven back with heavy loss ; and this is the Reeiment which is said to Lave been "called off." It was not until after dark that firing ceased and the enemy retired. General Floyd, ascertaining the number of his adversary, and moreover ibai four thousand, be sides the eleven thousand in front of him, had been sent. above Summersville to crojs the Gauley at Hughes' Ferry, and to march by way of Mead ow Bluff to got behind him, determined to re-croe the river that nigtt, and at once proceeded to ao so. , His "means of crossing consisted of one small boat, that could ho'd ote wag r at a time, and a small foot bridge, very ingeniously ouut ty Engineer Frostburg, a Swede, attached to Col Wharton's regiment. Every soldier, well, sick and wounded, was safely taken across before liirht : but owinz to the absence ot a large num ber of wagons, transporting stores from the rail road donots. there were not enough to secure the entire of the baggage, provisions, etc. A portion of these were unavoidably left behind, including some tents, cartridges, etc. A part of General Fiord's private baggage aud alo that of some of . J . r l rL -1 1 1 ec 1. bis omcers, was who ine auonuoneu euuuui. n is nroncr to notice that to the humanity towards the sick, of whom there were a large number, much of the loss is attributable. Some five horses, and twenty or thirty cattle also fell into the hands of the enemy. General Floyd lost not a tinale man. This re suit is extraordinary. Tbe battle lasted four hours, and the enemy's loss way heavy, while on our side there were only six men slightly woun- ded and not one seriously. Gen. Floyd himself was amongst the wounded. A musket ball, at the first fireof the enemy, inflicted a flesh woundjust hnlow the elbow, but it occasioned no inconve nience to the General. Tho enemv's lots was certainly heavy. Rosen cranz's first report said 15 killed and 70 wounded. His second raised bis Hgures to 20 kinei ana iou wounded. Gen. Floyd took six of tbe enemy prisoners. By tbeir account the killed and wonn- AoA were from 300 to ouu. uno man rata inai 1t werekillod in his regiment alone. The wounded on our side were Martin and ftrnss. of Captain Henley's company, Amherst; John Phipps,of Young's company, Grayson ; Ad jutant Smith, of Tompkins s regiment: and one man in MeCauseland'a regiment. Early on Wednesday morning, toe enemy ap- neared on the river and fired a few shots.. t-rin Flovd formed a junction with General -Wise, ami the combined force returned toSewell Moun tain. A meeeago from Geo. Lee met them there about noon Friday and they went into camp. ivi-.at that mtesacre was is not known";- but we mav hope it indicates reinforcements. f horaiUv. 5ol. Hownshel . with 700 men, re turned to the Gaulev river to bring away fifteen of our sick and twenty-five wounded Yankees of the battle of Cross Lanes. This ne did ; eat nn- ding the enemy preparing to cross, he ordered a fire upon them, which was obeyed by his men from the heights with effect, no doubt ; for the soldiers of the Southwest are good marksmen. Floyd's defence was most gallant and his cross ing of the ferry under the circumstances delib erate and well directed. His men fought ; with signal bravery, and their fire was admirably di- pptv!. i " Floyd and Wise together have notaix thousatid eftVwti ve men. Rosencranz bas eleven thousand with him, whileour more thousand are marching by the Meadow Bluff tofnter the turnpike be tween the Sewell Mountain and - Lewisburg. Cox bt4five thousand jive hundred; in all twenty thousand flee hundred men against a., little more Ibinfee thousand ! If this estimate of the ene my's forces be correct it ia indispensable that rein forcements must be rapidly concentrated beyond Lewisburg, or our army there wf be compelled again to fall back at least to that point. We hope that General' Lee's message to Gen; Floyd Indicates the intention of that officer to carry. his men where they may find active service. x : 1 FttOM KICHMOND.

A late act of Congress for "local defen ces" of the Confederacy authorizes the President to call for and employ volunteers at exposed points. Tbe provisions of this law. will, no doubt, be ade quate to garrison all the forts in the South, arid tor purposes of coast guards, without disturbing the tjonlederate forces in Virginia, j: - THE CAROJ OF THE ALTIANCE The Government has purchased a large portion of the valuable cargo of the British ship Alliance, whose remarkable ingress through tne lines Of the blcckade we noticed some time ago.

It is nrooosed bv tho War Department to tablisbed bakeries at such points as may be neces sary, or to make contracts, in order to supply! to such of our troops in the field as desire i when ever practicable, in lieu of tbe usual ration ! of flour, an equivalent of well-baked bread. Efforts will also be made to the extent of the power; of the Department to furnish a daily ration of fresh vegetables to all of our troops. . WINTER CLOTHING FOR THE ARMY. Tbe Government Clothing Bureau is already supplying the army with early lots of winter clothing, to tho extent of its , facilities. Eight thousand overcoats have already been supplied - . T 1 . tlf to a single uivision oi tne army in , v estern , y it cinia. The severities of the weather in the moun tains are reported to be extraordinary, there hav ing been several short spells of freezing weather, with appearance of ice in the vicinity of General Lee's encampment. The same diffidullies to which we.referrod some lime ago, as banipering the operrftiona of ;' the Clothing Bureau! in tbe competition of ungcru pulous traders, still exists, at.d are 4 likely - to be made the subject jof stringent measures on - the part of tho War Department. Where contrac tors have been induced to abandon their contracts with the Government, by the intermeddling! speculators, the Department has determined i ot not to hesitate to impjrees the fulfillment of their cbn-s tracts. Indeed, jtne policy ot impressing: cotton mills and Woolen manufactures iftto the tbe public wrvice is not a remote- oneand may,! in fact; become a spieedy necessity, should the speo ulationsof traderin soldiers clothing be carried to further extremities. ! Instead of the jGovcrpment supplying the i Sol diers clothing.it is commuted for so much mober The Clothing Bureau does : nothing more i than offer facilities to the army for the purchase of its clothing, and it does so at prices below tne limits of the Six monthsf commutation. .Bt ' the; sol dier is not often in a position to consult 'this economViCohsidefingthe frequent inconveniences of distance from Richmond, and tSe often urgent needs in which ha may be placed.! He ; is thus made the easy prey.of traders, who, managing to sell to him at perhaps 100 per centi ever the i iiu reau prices, can well afford to speculate against tho Government in proferred supplies' from ! the mills and manufacturers of the South.

Instead of going to Bedloe's Island as I wrote you before, we came to this place. Tbe soldiers are in Old Castle Williams, which you may know as the circular Fort here, and we are quartered in the barracks at'Fort Columbus; Through the kindness of tbe officers, we receive as good treatment as could be expected where so many are suddenly quartered without any notice. Our cooks cook for us the rations' which are rog ularly allowed, and we have enough to eat j good rooms arid soldiers beds, -v Of course we all know how to live the life of soldiers after our late expe rience. My health is very good, and I have a iiioe Christian gentleman for a room-mate, Col Martin. I have clothes enough, some tobacco-, and I have ordered fiora New York through San ford, who has been to see me, sooie addition to my wardrobe, and some little things we needed for our room. ;We have not been put upon full pa role, but a partial one ith limits'aseigned, extend ing round the west and south side of the Island, has been granted ; so that we have plenty of room, and a full view of the city and the bay. . I have spent hours with my glass looking at the various objects of interest in View, and studying the ever varying scenes of busy life: You know 1 always said New York was my ideal of a beautiful harbor. I see but little change in it. , : ' ' y; ! None of my acquaintances have visited me yet. One stranger offered me all the money-1 needed, but I declined. Webave have advised our friends not in any way to Involve themselves to help us, though there would be no feaT, perhaps, for those whoareborn here and havenevor been South or had any connection with the Souths When we left the Minnesota the officers and: men requested Col. Martin to return thanks ta Commodore String ham, his officers and men, forv their kind care for our comfort ; which was done, and we regret it was all we coo Id do. Yon may not hear from me again for some time, but j, 1 pray you do not be uneasy about me. I am in the hands of Jesus who has overshadowed ray head in. the hour of battle, and my trust in him is unimpaired.

The house of the mayor is occupied at night by hisbrother, who was also arrested through mistake.! but'i he soon convinced them , that the mayor was; at his country-seat, near the .Relay House, on tbe Northern Central Railway.

Hewbeme, Progress. r. v ,-.r A: LATEST NE rVS.: LATEST FROM THE NORTHWEST RE PORTED ACHIEVEMENT BY GEN. LEE. Reliable intelligence was received on yesterday from Gen. Lee's command, which indicates the prosecution of a brilliant campaign in that quar ter on the part of our forces. ..The news is that General Lee, having cut out a new road for a part of tbe distance, had marched nine thousand men to the left of St i per 's, which Is at the wes- . tern base of Cheat Mountain, and into the Staun- , ton and Parkenbarg turnpike road, between StU ' per'aaqd Huttor.sville, and then onward to tbe" latter place, of which he took possession. . He sac- ' ceeded in cutting off, by this movement, the Fed ' eral forces, under Gen. Reynolds, from the co operation of his assistant command, stationed on Cheat Mountain. " , - -j- ; ... ,. -' - A skirmish ' had occurred between portion of tie Federal and. Confederate commands, and Gen. Reynolds himself had been captured. Pas sengers by tbe. Central Railroad, on yesterday, corroborate this intelligence, and say that In the skirmish alluded to, tbe Federal loss was one bun dred, and the Confederate loss twenty. It 1 was conjectured that the entire force of the enemy -on Cheat Mountain, owing to their hopeless situs- lion, would be compelled soon to surrender. - i . - " - . v Richmond Dispatch. ' . GEN.; FLOYD'S ENGAGEMENT AND RE- ';-.;: ;;;;'":trkat. v.'-V.v; -V-'.. : Tbe act ' f recrossing the Gsuly during the night by Gen. Floyd, with his whole force, so large a part of which was tick, excites no little wonder.; It must have been accomplished through a great degree of deliberation and sagacity. To prevent tbe enemy irom suspecting the movement, it was necessary to avoid lights. Tbe whole. proceeding was under cover of darkness. - But while these shielded the retreat from observation,' ,it also pre vented the dboo very of many articles which would have been brought away, and which fell into the enemy's bands... - . . ; i : Gen. Floyd had the skeletons of five regiments in his engagement in which be repulsed Rosen cranz. 1 Thej were Heath's, Reynold's, Wharton's Tompkins and MoCauseland's. Ech of these regiments, or the small remnants of them, - were severely charged, and eaoh stood the charge no bly.' There was not a sign of fear or flinching In any face nor in any act of the whole body or in any part of it,,-., ,- !.. '...;.!....; f The Georgia and the North Carolina regiments, which left tome days since for 'Floyd's brigade, bad not joined it at the time of the "battle, - They met it at Sewell Mountain. Tha militia of . tbe region were also mustering, at last dates, and. joining General Floyd. The enemy having come down into a country where tbe people are loyal, be will find it not so easy to make headway. . We shall in a few days no doubt receive tidings of sharp work. If Gen.' Lee is enabled .soon to dispose of his adversary on Cheat- Mountain, a . very different face will be put upon the campaign, and Gen. Rosenoranz will have to make a new -move on tbe chess board to avoid a - check him self. Richmond Dispatch. . , . EAST TENNESSEE BROWNLOW, ' The Nashville (Tenr.) papers, , contain a card from,Wil..Brownlow, of tbe Knox villa Whig, from which we extract the following ;. " "So far a I am individually concerned, T will not be a party to any mad scheme of rebellion; gotton up at t .is late day, or at any insane attempt to invade this end of the Bute with Federal troops. And any portion of the Union men ia East Ten nessee, who may be orazy enough to embark in either enterprise and suffer utter ruin, as they are bound to do shall not, when 'the' times of the ca lamities be overpast,' reflect on me for having ad vised such course." , V: ' ' v ' The opposition to tbe Confederate Government in East Tennessee, is substantially at an end.
