THE POINT OF ATTACK,

Wilmington stands on the left bank of
the Cape Fear river, thirty-fYe miles from
theoeean- It has been a port of the utmost
value 10 the rebels sincs the breaking out
of the war, and after the capture of Mo
bile, and the closing of the ports Of
Charleston and Ssvsnnsh, has been the
principal port of entry. The mouth OF
Cape Fear river is so situated that it has
been most difficult to blockade successful
ly. Notwithstanding the vigilance Of our
bloeksders, large numbers OF vessels have
passed in and out of the port unseen. The
trade of this port has been immense, snd
is estimated at many millions of dollars.
The Navy Department have maintained
the most perfect blockade possible for
distance exceeding twenty miles, and Jet
have not been able to prevent the rebels
from running their ships in and out on ia
Yorable occasions. Now, however, Admi-
rsl Porter will efeetually seal it as her

victories of the heroic and das hing Farrs-

TIE HALL OF sTATUARY.

The old Representatives Hall is being
handsomely and appropriately fitted up as
a gallery of statuary, according to an act
passed during the last session of Congress
The old wooden floor has been removed,
and an excellent one Of tesselsted marble
is being laid down in its place. The sew
eral States will soon be called upon to con-
tribute their shares Of ststuary to the gal
Iery. Ohio ought to send in marble busts
of Salmon p Chase, Tom. Ewing, General
Sherman and others. The trouble will be
not in finding subjects, but to make a se-
lection from the large number Of fitting
subjects which the State can furnish, 70 oc-
cupy the small space allotted to s single
State. The State Legislature ought to
move in the matter, st its next session.
Indians viii, of course, have bust Of the
best Governor in the United States, in her
assortment; and Illinois will claim the
privilege of contributing the best resem-
blance she can get to Mr.. Lincoln, General
Grant, and a host of others. If the States
take the matter in hand as they ought, the
gallery will be an object Of national pride
before long, .

THE APPROACHES 10 W1LMINGToE. Z

The entrance to Cape Fear River is
obstructed by the three bars, known as the
Western" MAINE and lNew England"
bars. So materially hsYe these bars
changed, from time to time, that the old
sailing directions would Be almost useless
at present for pilotirg purposes. Still the
main features of the channel have not
changed, SO that feet guided by even
the old landmarks could gain an entrance.
The new Inlet passage affords the best
facilities for entrance, and viii probably be
used by Admiral Porter for his main op-

THE REBEL FoRTrFICATIoNs.

On Federal Point ia located the celebIs-
ted Fort Fisher, one of the largest earth
works of its rtyle il the Confederacy. Its
armament is unequslled in range or eff
cheney. 1t mounts about fifty guns, msny
Of them the heaviest Blskely rifles. Near
it are q number of small works called
water batteries, all mounting guns of
heavy cslfbre Similar works exist oppo-
site Fort Fisher, the guns of which mingle
their fire with that of the fort. Together,
these works command q distance of six
miles, three in each direction. There is a
formidable esrthwork q little further up
the coast, near the Lighthouse, the guns
Of which cover the seawsrd approach to
the New Inlet bar entrance. Near Fort
Fisher battery placed upon an artificial
sand hill threatens annoyance to our fleet
Its guns are able to throw plunging shot
as well as projeetiles, far out seward
This Is most dangerous work. 49,.

The entrance by the way Of New Inlet
is so situated and guarded BY heavy artil-
lary, thst vessels attempting to go in or
run BY the forts would be subjected to a
tremendous eross-fre. The heavy frigates
whose drsught of water precluded their

How Il Was Received.

The news of Grants glorious victo-
ries was received variously. The
Union men were as pleasant as May
morning--thc reasonable Democrats
looked more or less pleased, in pro
portion to the extent of their Democ-
rucy--while the genuine Copperhcads
wore faces as long as rail. Their
smiles were cavcrnous, and their at.
tempts to look pleasant were ghastly
To the Surrender ou- -any-terms'
men, the news was anything but good
they only looked genuinely pleased
when reading the list OF Union loss
es. They still doubt the reports.

The "Preachcr" referred to is Mr..

Resolutions.
Whereas, the members of Co. GA"
5Sth Battalion, National Guards,
have requested End Lieut.. Winders
to retire from active command as End
Lieut., for one hundred days, and have
also asked that 1st Lieut.. Green sup
ply his place during that time, as 2nd
Lieut., and whereas, it has been sug-
gested that this request may imply a
censure of Lieut.. Winders, therefore,
Resolved; That no disrespect was
intended to Lieut., Winders, but that,
on the other hand, they have ever res
pected him as an officer. The com
pany having been commanded by
, Lieut. Green for a short time, and hay
ing for him every respect and know
ing his willingness to take the place
of 2nd Lieut.. for one hundred days,
they felt and expressed the desire
aforesaid, and not from any disre.
spect to Lieut.. Winders.
