The Richmond papers of Tuesday, the 9th in
slant, have brought within the Union lines the
first intelligence Of the commencement OF active
operations by Admiral Porter's expedition against
the Notifications of Wilmington. The following
copies of the rebel dispatches have been forwarded
by Gen Grant:
WILMINGTON, DECEMBER %, 1864.
The enemys fleet, fifty vessels, including two moni-
tors several armed vessels and many heavily armed gates
and soopsofwar, made furious attack Fort Fisher
about o'clock yesterday aud kept average fire Of
thirty shots per minute until night Our loss is twenty
three wounded The attack was renewed at ten o'clock
this morning and has been very furious and connbous No

msnd of the fort, replied to the enemys fire slowly and
deliberately The enemy, under of the heavy fire.
landed about three brgades two and half miles above
Fort Fisher, They were Immediately engaged by
smaller force. The enemy held his ground at night.
WILMINGTON, DECEMBER 26, 1864
The ensmy's infantry attacked Fort Fisher late last
night They repulsed with considerable loss There
heavy rain and wind through the night Prisoners
report the Corps of the Yankee army pre-
sent, under Butler,
Gen Grant has also forwarded the following edi-
torial comments on the above news from one of the
Richmond journals:
1t will be that the Yankee fleet attacked Fort
Fisher about o'clock P. M on Saturday, and bonn.
barded it heavily till nighfa, renewing the bombardment
at ten o'clock Sunday morning and continuing through
out the day and that under of the fire of the feet the
enemy landed infantry force above Fort Fisher which
attacked the fort on Sunday night and repulsed
Fort Fisher is situated sand spit on the right bank
of the Cape Fear river, at its mouth, twenty miles below
Wilmington. The enemy, presume, reached their
position above the fort not by passing the river where
they would have been obliged to the gauntlet Of the
gums both Of Fisher aud Caswe the left bank but by
landing the beach east of the mouth of Cape Fear
The enemy having effected odgment above the fort is
matter 1t will cost double the force to dsodge
him that would have prevented his landing
