Capture of the U. S. Steamer Fanny and Forty- j
Nine Prisoners, with a Large Amount of
Stores)—Col. Wright and Com. Lynch cbm- j
mandinr—Third Georgia Regiment in the 5
Fight.
We are indebted to a friend, of Madison, Ga., j
says the Augusta Chronicle it Sentinel, for the
following letter, giving an account of the bril
liant engagement off the North Carolina coast:
Elizabeth City, N. C. )
Oct. 4 th, 1861 J
Mr. Nnrroß : Being thus far, returning Irom
Pvoanoke Island, and detained For a few hours, I
propose a short account of the third regiment of
| Georgia Volunteers. And first of all: on yes
| terday forty-nine prisoners from Hatteras were
placed on a barge in front of the camp, who, the
night before, had been taken by an expedition
commanded by Col Wright, and composed of the
Dawson Grays, Athens Guards and Wilkinson
Rifles. The command were on board the steam
ers Raleigh, Curlew and Junaluska, a part of
Commodore Lynch’s squadron. These steamers
were armed with cannon. On Tuesday last, at
2% P M, the whistle sounded, the “trtbauds” of
the Confederate States kissed the breeze, and off
the little army and navy went; Commodore
! Lynch commanding all the steamers.
Iq two bours and it be r tho (loop uiuuthod d'*gs
of war, let loose told us in camp the w >rts was
going on, Presently, quicker and q <icnt*r cauit*
the booming ihund.r, and soon seveial togciber,
and then ut regular in erva.s ; and thus it was
until the white flig went up <n board the steam
er Fanny, a part of tile U. a. Navy, off Hatteras,
an i the was our-.
She made all the resistance she could, but was
taken. Armed with two pieces (one a nfl-d can
non,) and those 49 men (one a contraband ol war
in uuifotm) —.-ho waa carrying immense army
stores to the 14th Indiana regimeut, then estab
lishing a camp about 20 miles irom ours.
Yesterday the captured Fanny was unloaded,
and before now, has, in all probability, done us
good service. For as wo came away, the cannon,
at 5 P. M., when wo were 15 miles off, apprised
us that the fleet and army wore again in motion.
The Fanny's cargo is very valuable, probably
worth $75,000 or SBO,OOO. One item is 1,000 ar
my overcoats.
The prisoners are detachments from various
companies at Hatteras, and were commanded by
Capt: Hart, of the 14th Indiana Regiment.—
Twelve of them are from New York Oth Regi
niaut, and were acting as artillerymen.
They are safe, in good hands, and treated as
prisoners of war. Lieut. Harris, of the Home
Guards, had them in charge when we left, and
all hands on the barge were desirous to find all
the comforts its open decks afforded, in the bright
sunshine.
This was indeed an episode in the life of the
regiment Since taking quarters there, they
have worked day and night a good part of tho
time, doing it more rapidly than the Engineer
could plan it. Three batteries of— guns, so
far as the soldiers could finish them, were com
pleted in less than ten days, and the black
throated peace makers” now lie quietly in their
places, ready to shake the very earth, when an
enemy shall dare to pass. It is not right to say
fully what the work is; it must be sure to realize
the labor these fortifications required at the hands
of our soldiers. Very much of it was done with
out proper implements, in a burning sun, or rainy
night, without a word of complaint or dissatis
faction. Col. Wright told me I ought to see the
boys cleaning up the ground with pocket knives,
and how they enjoyed the fun.
The legiment is full of life, and unwilling to
lose the results of this work, which with teyere
fighting, ought to give it a larger victory and
many more prisoners. It has lost seven or eight
men by death since its organization. And after
measles and mumps were pver, no large num
ber of men at any time have been sick.
Away down here or there in North Carolina,
it was very pleasant in the deep thick woods of
Roanoke Island, to be with 900 or 1,000 of
Georgia’s best men and blood, all, all at fever
heat for a good fight.
It was my good fortune to arrive at the can
tonment on Saturday evening, |and as our arri
val was the first in a week with a mail, of course
we had a hearty Georgia welcome.
But a litttle while passed and very many were
reading long and loving letters from dear ones
far “away down in Dixie.”
My stay was very well occupied; I enjoyed
the hospitalities of Staff Officers, captains and
privates, and I believe they all live alike.
And now, Mr. Editor, if any other regiment
from Georgia, wants hard work to do, let it en
ter list against this 3d—to frolic, work or fight—
and its hands are full.
Rev. R. B. Lester is Chaplain, and ho gave
us a good sermon on Sunday morning. Four of
the Captains and many of the men are professors
of religion.
I would like to name certain officers whom I
knew before they came here, but sir, they are all
officers and men, from the State of Georgia, and
have come here to do just one thing—their duty
to their country and themselves.
Before your readers get this, someone will give
you a full account of aU their acts and doings in
the enterprises jmt now on their hands. Os
their succoss there is no doubt. “The nextgale
that sweeps from the North” to you, may say,
Hatteras is again “we’ii see what we shall
see,” Yours, &c.

Commander-in-Chief of the Army ot the Potom
ac, were riding out in a carriage, in the vicinity
of Mr. Dill’s farm, the gear es the horsea gave
way, and the carriage was precipitated into a
deep gully. Both ladies were grea.ly shocked,
and received severe contusions—Mrs. Johnston
having, in addition to other injuries, one of her
arms broken. Mr. Herbert Graves happening
to be near, assisted the ladies from tneir painful
situation , and brought theta, bv another convey

The Mounted Ranger? in the West. —On
Sunday morning the 17th u’t., Captain Pate’s
company of Mounted Rangers assailed an en
trenched camp of Unionists over fifty strong, at
a place called Pond Fork, on Little Coal River,
in Boone county, Va. The Unionists made no
resistance with the exception of firing one gun.
and took to their heels for safety. The Rangers
captured seventeen of the number, three of whom
were subsequently released, and the remaining
fourteen are now in Richmond. These fellows
are said to be the party who burned the Boone
; court house, and have been committing various
depredations in tho county. On the same day,
Capt. Caskie’s Rangers captured forty-seven head
of cattle in the vicinity of Pond Fork. The
health of the Rangers was good when our inform
ant left.— Richmond Dispatch, 3 dinst.

Gen. Johnson’s Proclamation.
Whereas the armed occupation o: part of Ken
tircky by the United States and the preparations
which manifest tho intention of their Govern
ment to invade the Confederate States through
that territory have imposed on these last, as a
necessity of self defence to enter that State and
meet the invasion upon tho best line of military
operations;
And, whereas, it is proper that the motive of
the Government of fibe Confederate States in ta
king this step should be fully known the to
world.
Now, therefore I, Albert S. Johnston, Gen
eral and Commander of the Western Depart
ment of tho army of the Confederate States of
A.merica, do proclaim that these State have thus
marched their troops into Kentucky with no
hoßtile intention towords its people, nor do they
desire or seek to control their choice* in regard
to their union with either of the Confederacies or
to subjugate their State or to hold its soil against
their wishes. On the contrary, they detrn it to
be the perfect right of the people of &en u ky to
determine their own position in regard to the
belligerents. It is for them to say whe.faer
they will join either Confederacy or maintain m
separate existence as an independent and sover
eign State. The aimed occupation ot their
soil, both as to its extent anu duration, will
therefore be stric ly limittd by the exigencies of
self defence on the part ot the Conleueia e
States. These Sta e intend to conloim to all
the requirements of public.law ad international
amity as between theiur-elves and accordingly I
command all who are feutject to my orders, to
pay entire respect to the rights ot properiy and
the legal auibonties wuhiu that State, so tar as
the same may te lompattole with toe necessmeo
if self • efense.

them to make an opportunity f r me aee and
unbiassed expression of their will upon the sub

sumed, that a majority of those people desire to
adhere to the United estate.-', and become parties
to the war, then none can doubt the right ot the
other belligerent, to meet that war, whenev rand
w I erever it may b. waged. But harboring no
such suspicion, I now declare in the name of the
Government which I serve, that its army shall
be withdrawn fr m Kentucky so soon as there
shall bo satisfactory evidence of the existence
«nd execution of a like intention on the part of
the Uni td States.

Another Deserter from Fort Piceenb.—

men on the Island, and two hundred and fifiy on
the sick list. We did not learn how he affected
his escape, and have to stop the press to gjye
this meagre account. #
