BALTIMORE, Sunday, Dec. 25.--The Associ~
ated Press letter from Fortress Monroe, dated
s p. M, o4th, says: The mail steamer Thomas
Collier has just arrived.
4 telegraph operator named Baker. belong
ing to one OF the chief Offices In Richmond,
escaped night before last, and having. elu1ed
the vigilance of the rebel pickets, made his
way successfully into our lines yesterday
afternoon. He vas subjected to severe ex-
animation by Gen. Grant, and stated that in~
telIigence of the fall Of Savannah and cap
ture Of the entire forces, 1900 In ,flmber,
commanded by General Hardec, had reached
Richmond. A few hours before he made his
escape there was report prevailing at the
same time that Fort Fisher, commanding the
entrance to Wilmington, had also fallen
through combined attack by General Butler
and Admiral Porter's forces, but this could
not be traced to any rcliable source.
+ The spirits Of the citizens Of Richmond he
describes as in q very much depressed state,
and it was with difficulty that the authorities
could exercise any influence whatever over
the press and citizens, such was the frantic
manifestations Of contempt for the action oi
the rebel government.
Gen. Griffin is passenger in the Thomas
Collier, and places the utmost confidence in
the statement OF this operator, and is Of opin-
ion that the report. Of the capture Of Fort
Fisher is true, the extensive preparations
made by Gen. Butler On the sailing Of the
expedition warranting this carly surrender.
