in this line by the commander Of that depart

claims to have some peculiar facilities for pen

much trouble. The elections news from the

is the rebel announcement of an attack on the
Wilmington forts by Admiral Farragut VII
minglon is the only port of Importance left to
the C0nfederacy, and the English have made it
a great depot of supplies for the rebel army.
Farragut's feet cannot approach the city, but
the forts commanding the harbor can be
reduced, ard, if that be accomplished, the mill
tary value Of the place ceases. Forts Fisher,
Caswoll and johnson guard the channel, but
neither of them is stronger than Fort Morgan.
An official dispatch from Sheridan announces
a victory of our cavalry over the entire force
Of rebel cavalry, under General Rosser The
attack was handsomely made General Custar,
commanding the Third Cavalry Division,
charged on the back road, and Merritt, com
mandirg the First Cavalry Division, on the
Strasburg pike. Merritt captured FIVE pieces
of artillery and Custar six pieces with caissons,

forty seven wagons, ambulancos, etc and about
three buodred and thirty prisoners. The enemy,
after being charged by our gallant cavalry,
broke and ran, followed by our men on the
