"Oct, LiAlXiQl WAJtt. Xi Jta TV O. -Engagement at Moantport. Official dispatches have been received, announcing another attack, on part of a Federal fleet, upon our batteries at EvansporL The force of the enemy is reported to have consisted of nine steamers, furnished, as well as could be observed, with an armament of the heaviest character. After an ineffectual attempt to silence our fire the enemy's fleet hauled off, evidently considerably damaged.

The fire from our batteries elicited much admiration from the rapidity and accuracy with which it was served. The accounts received furnished no details as regards the casualties on either side. Richmond jEzaminer, 1CM. The Norfolk Day Book of the 15th says "two large transport steamers, filled with men, were making preparations to leave Old Point, Sunday afternoon, and probably by this time are gone.

We casually heard, a few days ago, that the great establishment in Tredegar Works, wherj a thousand or two men are said be employed in making cannon, steam engines, and a hundred other things indispensable to our Southern Confederacy, is but indifferently supplied with iron, and has to send all oyer the country, even to New Orleans, to purchase up the j)1g iron needed for its furnaces, paying $40 a ton for what is generally worth but $20. If this be so, why do not capitalists, here and in Chatham, at once put up more iron works on Deep River, and thus supply a great want of the country, develop the wealth of that wondeTful region, and at the same time enrich themselves? The cost of the works necessary to make the pig iron is but a few thousands, we believe, and the time required to erect them not mdch. The manufacture of pig iron will undoubtedly lead to the higher branches of iron manufacture that is, if our people have half the energy necessary to constitute a self-reliant and independent nation. Why may we not have works of this kind in Fayetteville? The ore can be brought here, as we have often seen many car loads of it carried into Baltimore from a distance. There 19 every facility in Fayetteville for a great manufacturing place.

Who will commence this manufacture here? Commence it now, when so much needed, and when the profit will be so great? The Electoral Ticket.

Quinine, Morphene Calomel, Iodide Potash, OBSElRVlErc; THIKSMY TEXIXG, 18617 Cheering The past few days hare developed events which must have an important influence on the great contest. The naval triumph at New Orleans shows that the South need not shrink from the conflict upon the element of the North's greatest strength. After whipping them upon the land with one-half and one-fourth of their force, our gallant sailors whip them upon water, where we had no force at nil until a few days ago. We presume that our townsman Lieut, McGary shared in the glory of this triumph.

The rupture between the British Minister and Mr. Seward, with the consequent withdrawal of the former from Washington, if confirmed, bodes no good to the Lincoln government. is doubtless owing to the fact that when the British government was appealed, to by the U. S. Minister in London, to prevent'the loading and sailing of the steamer Bermuda, it refused to in terfere, avowing a determination to preserve a neutral position between the North and the South; and as it had allowed arms to be whipped to the North, so it would allow them to be shipped to the South.

And so the Permu-Ja came to Savannah, with a cargo of cannon-, small arms, powder and ball, blankets, shoes, of priceless value to the South. And what is more, another jmer has Just arrived with another such cargo. The Rkpoh ted Landing. On Monday we briefly mentioned a report brought by the stage driver, that 15.000 men had landed at some undefended point in South Carolina. The same evening we heard the story located at Swannsborough, in Onslow county, in our own State.

In publishing the subjoined letter from Col. Vance, we cannot help contrasting his course with that of Col. Clingman. Vance was an old Union man, but when Lincoln's Proclamation pave the quietus to the Union, he volunteered as a private, was first elected Captain of a Company and then Colonel of a Regiment. He had no military reputation, experience, or ambition He had a civil reputation, experience and ambition.

He was invited to leave the army and go to Congress, which he could easily have done, for he is by far the most popular man in his District. But no.

Clingman is the very opposite of all this.

An intense zeal for disunion marked his course. When disunion and the war came, he did not enter the ranks as a private, or as anything but a Colonel. And after getting that high position, instead of sharing the trials and hardships of his men. he posts off to Raleigh to electioneer for a seat in Congress. When defeated for that, he falls back upon the other office and joins his Regiment.
