Summary
Request from the North Carolina House of Commons and governor's reply regarding information on the capture of Fort Hatteras, the subsequent movements of the enemy, possible actions in defense of the coast, and Confederate correspondence received on these topics. Of note, this was a victory for the Union. In his letter of September 5th, 1861, Henry T. Clark indicates, "After the capture of Hatteras, the Forts at Oregon and Beacon Island, have been evacuated under circumstances which cannot be approved. Neither of these fortifications have been taken or even approached by the enemy, yet they have been abandoned without orders... I will conclude this communication by reminding you that reverses are to be looked for during war. We cannot always hope to be successful--but the part of patriotism and prudence is to turn reverses to account, and to rise stronger from misfortune."
