Glorious Victory for the South! Naval Engagement off the Coast of North Carolina, j 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. 8 q*i i Important Notice, The following no ice is from a Richmond pa per.

Serious Accident. —While Mrs. Jefferson Da vis, accompanied by Mrs. Johnston, lady of the 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 ance, back to the city. 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. PEYTON H.

Cotton firm—Sales 1,000 bales Mid. Upland at 2134 eta. 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. if it be the desire of the people of K ntucky to rua ntain a strict and impartial nt uiiotuy, then the tffort t > drive out iLe law esc- mtiu.trs, who seek to matte tht ir dta t ttn iLeaned war, wtil aid them in the aUainmcn and ibcir wi.-bte It, a.- ii may not be unreasonable io Mipp'sc in«e peo ple do desire to uniie iheir fortunes wi*lj u e U> n federate States, to whom they arealiebUy bound by so many ties of interest, ibtn the nj.ptajanee and aid of the Confederate tro ptsw.tl ar-ist them to make an opportunity f r me aee and unbiassed expression of their will upon the sub ject. But if it be true, which is not to be pre 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. By order of tho President of the Confederate States of America. A. S. JOHNSTON, General Commanding the Western Department of the Army of the Confederate States of America. Another Deserter from Fort Piceenb.— The Montgomery Mail of the Bth inst., says another deserter from Fort Pickens came over last night, and was taken to the Yard this morn ing, says the Pensacola Observer of the 6th. He says on the night of the burning of the “Ju dah” we killed four and wounded nine of the Federal party. He reports seventeen hundred 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. # Departure of Commissioners. — We have strong grounds for believing that Messrs.
