Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the recent Brush at Hatteras Intel, &c. Elizabeth City, N. C., July 15.
On Wednesday last one of Lincoln's war steamers, forty-four guns, supposed to be the Wabash or Minnesota, approached within two miles of the encampment of the Confederate troops at Hatteras quiet and run out her guns with a design to fire upon our troops in their camps.
Before she got ready to fire, however, our battery at that place opened upon her with great spirit, and a sharp engagement ensued.
The fire from our battery was so warm that the enemy had to withdraw his attention from our Unprotected encampment and opened his fire at the Fort.--Our men, though this was their first engagement, fired with such rapidity and precision that the enemy struck his flag and the firing on our side housed.
The steamer was struck, it is thought, several times, but was enabled to get off.
Capt. Cohcon commanded our battery, and the men under his charge behaved with great

The Pritzes captured by the Confederate steamer Sumter released by the Spanish authorities
--A telegraphic dispatch dated Boston, July 15, says:
Captain White, of the bark Louisa Kelham, one of the vessels captured by the Confederate steamer Sumter, writes to the owners that he was captured July 6, the day he sailed from Cienfuegos, with 550 tons of sugar, shipped on Spanish account, and bound for Falmouth, England, for orders.
He also states that it is the opinion of the Governor here that the Spanish laws won't let him (the Sumter) hold us. We expect to hear from Havana to-day.
A letter from Messrs. Calmsac & Bros., at Havana, dated July 10th, says the prizes are now in the port of Cienfuegos, but would not be allowed to remain there.
No more American vessels can at present find a charter from this island.
Of course this caused a great excitement among American shipmasters.
Another letter, dated Havana 10th, states positively that the Spanish authorities have

Severe hail storm in North Carolina.
--We are permitted, says the Portsmouth Transcript, of yesterday, (Thursday,) to make the following extract from a letter dated Gatesville, N. C., July 15:
"I am sorry to say to you that we had one of the greatest hail storms to visit a portion of our county, on Saturday last, perfectly demolishing everything in its range.
Fortunately, though, it only passed through a very narrow slope, ranging about one mile wide.--There are farms that had crops on them on Saturday morning that were worth thousands of dollars, and in the evening not worth one cent.
Corn, cotton, peas, potatoes, &c., &c., completely destroyed.
When I say destroyed, I mean that there will not be a grain of corn nor a lock of cotton made.
It did not do much damage in this place, only one edge of it touching here.
The damaged portion is about a mile from this place north, and going through several of the best farms in the country."
