Our ammunition being entirely exhausted at Fort Clark, aad th enemy baring landed aome force, I eaied th cficers together who were at Fort Clark, aad it waa unanimously agreed that it wa adrimbla to render aseles tba guns and 111 back apoa Tx Hatteraa. This being agreed to, I seel orders to lbs Tariooi bodies of men whom 1 bad stationed ia the skirts of wood to re sist the advance of tba enemy upon Fort Clark : that Fort Clark could not ba held, and they moat fall back upon Fort HaUaras.

Barron, Flar OScar C S. Navy, in charge of th defences of Virginia and North Carolina, and found that daring th day th enemy had attacked the force under the command ol ijounm. x. aiamo, as well aa Forts Clark and Hatteraa under my com- maul and after a dsv of most severe and unceasing fighting, th Colonel bad succeed eenn conoanirsi inr all the torces witbia the walls of FOrt Hatteraa. ' . . .... . f !oi hfrtJa himaelf was utterly prostrated by the duties of the dy, and on conoiiuoo wun nin x rnwd that wa invite Com. Barron, an officer of gre-t experience, to take the general eommind and direct tne succeeding operations. Com. Barron consented and assumed the com mar.d . I then nroceeded to examine our guns and munitions, aad prepare the Fort for th action of the coming morning. There were but two run mounted on the aide next to Fort Clark, both 32-pounder, and one run on the corner next the bar, an 8 inch shell gun. rhirinrthe airht 1 took away a traverse on the back face of the work and brought another gun to bear in the same direction. The companies under my command under Cap tains Cohoon. Lamb and Sutton, having been in action all the preriourday, displaying great cour age and devotion, being perlectly exnausted.i piac ed the baitertea ia charsre of fresh I root .as follows : Nt. 2 and 3 of the Channel Battery, under the command of Lieut. CoL Geo. V. Johnston, assist ed br 1st Lieut Mora, and 2nd LijuU Geo. W. Daniel: No. 6, facing the bar, and No 7, facing Fort . Clark, were placed in charge or alajor Henry A. Gilliam. arsUted by Lieutenanta John ston and Grimes ! No. 8, a run mounted oa naval carrisge, waa commanded by Lieut. MurcTaugh, of tba C. S. Navy, assisted by Lieut, bharp and Midshipman Sufford. Capt. Thomas H. Sharp bad command of No. 9, but owing to the wrenches not fitting the eccentric axle, was unable to bring it into action. He staid by hi gun during most of the engagement, but could not fire. Tbua we had but three guns we could bring to bear (if the em-my took up bta position or the pre vious day) via : No. 6, T and 8. At 7.40 o'clock, A. M., of the 29th, the enemy opened fire on ua from the Steam Frigates Minne sota, (43 guns) Wabash, (43 guns), Susquehannah, (IS guns) Frigate Cumberland, (24 gun). Steam er Pawnee, (10 guns), and Harriet Lane, (5 guns) and a rifled battery of three run erected in the aad bill, half a mile from xort Clark, inus you will see, -they brought 73 guns of the most approved kinu and heaviest metal to Dear on us. The sheila thrown being 9 Inch, 10 inch and 11 inch, Dablgreen, Paixban and Columbiad shell, while from the poaitioB taken we were unao le to reach them with the greatest elevation. The mea of the Channel Battery were ordered to leave their gun and protect themselves as well a possible, the council of the commanding officers having decided mat it wa to be an action or en durance until our reieforcemart came up. After a few shots bad been fired and it wa ascertained that we could not reach them, our run ceased fire and only answered the fire of the enemy oc casionally, to show we bad not surrendered. The shower or shell in nail an boor became lit erally tremendous, as we had falling into and im mediately around the work not less on an average than 10 each minute, and the sea being smooth the firing was remarkably accurate. One officer counted 28 abella a falling so aa to damage us in a minute, aad eereraJ others counted 20 In a min ute. At a quarter toll o'clock a council of the offl cars was held, and it wa decided to surrender : i white flag wa raised and the firing ceased at 11 o'clock. Thus for three hour and twenty minute Fort Hatters resisted a stream of ah all perhaps more terrible than ever tell upon any other work. At the lime the council determined to aurren der, two of our gun were dismounted, four men were reported killed and between 25 and 80 badly wounded one sbell bad fallen into the room ad joining the magazine and the magazine was report ed on ore. It k useless to attempt a further description. 1 he men generally behaved well, nearly every commissioned o facer from the Commodore down mora or leas wounded, and fifty or sixty ef tne aon-commiasiooed oacers and men who would not report to the urgeon. Lieut. 8. U Job nstoo. Co. K. 7th Regiment, fired the last gun at the enemy, aad raised a flag of truce oa tne bomb proof. . The detail of the capitulation were arranged on the rug Ship Minnesota, by which we laid down our arma, and marched out as prisoners of v ar. - I desire especially to speak of the conduct of the officers and men at the naval gun, who fired fre quently to try the range.

One is Political, the other is Commer ciat and Financial. ' The Brat has been thoroughly organized and under the direction of tne ablest minds in our Confederacy, and with the blessing of God, ap pears to be rapidly progressing to a satisfactory conclusion. The second, and -in our estimation the rreatest and most important, has not, as yet an,organization, and ia in dinger of being lost by the success of the first before any well digested plans have been adopted for Its attainment. We teel it to oe our duty, tneretore, to oursei ves and our country, to seek to awaken the public mind to tne incaicuiaote importance oi seeing io it that our forces are promptly mustered and well equipped for the coming struggle, our plans tbor oughly discussed and well matured, that by prompt and combined action wnen tne movements snail be made, we (hall ensure en tire success and become as we seek to be, not only politically, butcommer- ciaiiy and financially Tree ana tnaepenaent. Have we not the skill and energy in our Con federacv which is needful to conduct our commer cial and financial affairs as well abroad as at home? If not, we fear we must be content as heretofore, to allow them to remain in, the hands of, a id be conducted by others. Shall the profits arising from our immense trade ith Foreign countries continue to flow into the band of those who are inimical to our peace and welfare, or shall the benefits arising therefrom be retained by us and transmitted as a rich legacy to our children 7 j A mighty and systematic effort has been made by Merchants and Bankers at the North to trans fer') to, and engross almost the entire profit of Southern trade in their owe hands. Our insti tutions have been decried to the world in the hope that by this means they might drive from us tne sympathies of other commercial nations, and ob struct, if not wholly prevent direct intercourse be tween us and them. i With these facts before us, is it not time we should awaken to the vital importance of instant, wise and decided action upon this subject 7 One of the greatest obstacles in the way of the establishment of direct trade with foreign coon- trie immediately upon the opening of the ports of our Confederacy is the fact that our Merchant are comparative! v unknown, in foreign markets. and have no credit established there, i Although, the products of the Southern Slates have constituted the basis of credits and exchange between the late United btatca and those nation for more than a half century; in a financial and commercial tense, we are unknown to each other ouf . bilk of ex change having been drawn by Northern Houses, and the vast amount of their productiontconsum- ed by us imported through the same channel so little bare we known in these transactions, that year would be required in the ordinary, course of events, to build up that trade and establish that confidence which u absolutely necessary in commercial transactions, which are founded on a system of credits. , li lt is clear, therefore, that some extraordinary measures must be devised, to enable ua to free our selves from these impediments to our commercial credit and independence, and prevent nir falling oaca; in us oia cnannei as soon as our ports are again open. It is, moreover, desirable that our great staple should be fully made known to the world, and the great advantage to foreirn nations of a direct trade with us, and we should all unite our efforts in the promotion of this great work. rve, tnereioie, cordially invite the Merchants, Banker and others of the Confederate States, to meet us in Mass Convention, in the City of Ma con, on the 14th day of October next, for the pur- puao or aevMing some plan tor establishing a sys temof credit between ihe Confederate States of America and Fereign countries, which mav be practicable and available to all desiring to use it, and which will also command the hearty support of the citizens of our whole country. We earnestly invite the assitance and co-operation of the press of the Confederate States, in bringing the subject fully before the people and tho presence of it member on the occasion named. We would also, respectfully suggest to the var rious Chambers of commerce and other Societies within the Confederacy, organized for aimilar. purposes, the propriety of appointing Commit-i tees at au ear.y aay tor tne purpose of : a due ana deliberate investigation of this infbortant subject, and proposing some plan to be lubmitted to the Convention at it meeting.

Secession is now an accomplished, fact; for the Federal Government can no more exercise au thority in the seceding States than it caa affect to regulate the Government of Canada or of this country. In support of a Uniod which does not survive, it not only wages a, costly and unsuccess ful war, but it destroys every vestige of that free dom which once was the pride and the boast of the Anglo-Saxon race in America. : J ; y. It is said that the Confederate States have an nounced their .intention to prohibit the exporta tion of cotton so long as foreign Powers admit the validity of , the Federal blockade. They, hopS by this threat to coerce England and France into the recognition of their national independence and sov ereignty. Questions of blockade can only be deter mined, by. the .law. and practice bf nation. No case calling for decision has yet arisen, but when it does arise little doubt can be entertained that every tribunal, except, perhaps, in America, would determine the question according to the declaration of the treaty of Paris. The recognition of.de facto independence as in the case of the Spanish Arner-r ican provinces, Greece and Belgium, rests upSn. an entirely different basis ; and when the proper occasion arises, we have as little doubt that it will be met and decided in conformity with the modern vublic law of Europe. But the Southern States have recently announced that, with the exception ' OI tne article remuug io privateers, may wui, wuu regard to neutral goods, contraband of war, and he validity of the blockade, scrupulously adhere to the declaration of the Congress of Paris. In- other words, they are willing to act in concert with tbe more human views of European nations so long as they can preserve and exercise the right of commissioning privateers. we regret tnat the Southern States should, from a mistaken view of interest, adhere to thi barbarous relic of the mid dle ages. . It is a weapon more formidable against innocent commerce than against the enemy's trade ; but it is. based upon that principle ot a militia navy which until lately, both sections of public men in America concurred in supporting. " We be lie ve that it a is useless and dangerous expedient .and that, notwithstanding the temporary success of the Sumter and other corsairs, it will lead to no prac tical or beneficial result But, whilst we see the South, in regard to at least three 'great principles of maritime warfare, acting . in concert iorfA, the Powers of Europe, we see that a reign of. terror has been inaugurated in the North. , Not only k the press silenced, but a system of espionage has been established which has sent Mae Mayor of Washington to Fort Lafayette, and has actually subjected women to it? savage and arbitrary rule. The passport system in its most odious form.has been introduced in the North. The spies of the Fede ral Government are on board every steamer, which arrives at New York or Boston. , An American gentleman ,yho recently returned to America, after a visit to this country, solely on mercantile affairs, was seized upon landing from the Persia, and hi property was confiscated. The excuse was that he had been in England engaged in the task of negotiating a loan for the Secession States. We allude to tbe case of M oemll. whose liberty has been coerced and bis property confiscated upon the information of ! Federal spies; All this has been done in spite of evidence which shows that Mr. Serrill had no political mission in England, and that the large sum of money found upon him was his own money, which he intended to employ in legitimate mercantile operation. A more gross and iniquitous case has neveroccurred, and it may be hoped tnat tbis injured gentleman, upon an ac curate knowledge of the facts, will at once be set at liberty. If we desired to sum tip for the bene fit of Mr. might and his supporters the prac tical result of American Democracy, that result would be irresponsible military tyranny, the sus pension of the habeas corpus actl the stifiinr .of tbe press, ana the wholesale introduction of a sys tern of passports and spies., In fact, moreotitrages have teen perpetrated upon liberty in the North ern States than even King Bomba attempted to commit in JM spies, 'lne proclamation of martial law at New xork is not only an evidence of na tional rottenness and decay, but shows how, in the moment of disaster and dismay, a subservient and excued population may surrender all tbe freedom and liberty for which they have contended dur log nearly a century. .

STATEMENT OF A RELEASED PRISONER FROM FORT LAFAYETTE; The Norfolk Day Book,ol the 47th inst, say Mr. W. Harrold, a citizen of Macorr, Georgia, wno lett hi oAtiys place some six week ago to go North for bis sisters, who were at school, ar rived here yesterday evening in tbe flag of truce coat, irom tne is ortn, on hi way home with his sister. Mr. xtarrold is a young man of hiehlv respectable connection.. He was arrested in New York while on bis way , South, and without any neanne wnaiever, incarcerated injrort "-Lafayette. He was nnable, all the time he was in nris on, to hear of any charge whatever! against him ; and was only able to obtain a hearing after three weeas, oy trie influence of prominent Republican friends in New York. At his examination, it ap pear there were no charges or nd witnesses to prove anyming ; mat ne naa Deen arrestee; on mere suspicion of being a prominent Secessionist, with some intimation that he had been a captain in command at the battle of Bull Run. So great, in fact, appear the despotism of the party in pow er, mat tneir iouowers nave notning to do in or der to incarcerate any one they may desire, but to inaKe complaint and instantly the indivdiual is uuntea up, wnue a aispatch U lor ward ea to wash mgton, and answer received in time to ODen the prison doors, by the time he has been found by the ponce, o questions need be asked, as none are answered, but the captive is imprisoned without examination. . . i, - j Mr. Harrold informs us that 'those of the pris oners wno are in JTort JTafayette, and have money, rare tolerable wen, out those without money are treated to most- inferior fare, far below that on which their troops are fed.- This seems to tally with an account of prison scenes, from the .New rone Meraia. ; ; - r - The treatment extended to the Confederate privateers is enough to dignant feeling all over the South. crews of the 1 raise an in- These, poor fellows are treated worse than wild beasts.
