seems to be little doubt that the rebels
have gone TO Bainbrdge, eight miles
above Florence, fearing flank movement
from Stevenson. Two corps Of Stewart
and Lee went by this road, the Florence
road, to Lexington. Cheatham's went
towards Laurenceburg, striking the old
military road eight miles below Laurence
burg.
The people say the rebels are suffering
Immensely. Butord's wound is said to be
quite severe. A Mr.. Carter says the colo
nel commanding the pontoon transporta-
tlon told him he was going to Bainbridge,
and left here on Thursday morning.
Cheatham's ammunition transportation
train, of l5 or 20 wagons, was abandoned
here. The mules were put in to help
the pontoons along. General Lee was
severely wounded in the foot, in the fight
at Nashville. His corps is now comman-

A curious law suit is now pending in
Hamburg, between the manager of the
Opera and Heer Southern, the first tenor.
Herr Southern has been called upon to
sing in one of Wagner's operas, but had
refused on the ground that he could not
be legally compelled to spoil his voice. -
Wagner is not the only composer how
ever, whom the singers execrate If a
singer can get pay for his voice and keel,
1t too, he is lucky
1t is reported that in the new State of
Nevada, beneath thin covering OF re-
fuse saline matter, for depth OF fourteen
feet, pure rock salt is found as clear as
ice, and "as white as the driven snow.n
Beneath there is water, which seems to be
Uttered through salt to an unknown
depth. The whole Of the fourteen feet in
thickness does not contain single streak
OF any deleterons matter or rubbish, and
IS ready for quarrying and sending to
market. The locality is one hundred
miles west Of Rees River.

enemy's feet of over fifty vessels including
two monitors, several armed vessels and
many heavily armed frigates and sloops-

kent up an average fire Of about 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 continuous. There is no report of
casualties to-day. Hl
"Colonel Lamb, who is in command of
the fort replied to the enemy's fire
slowly and and deliberately.
"Tho enemy, under cover of the heavy
fire, landed about three brigades two and

enemy's infantry attacked Fort Fisher late
last night There was heavy rain and
wind through the night. Prisoners re-
port that the Twenty fourth Corps of the

"Irom our Wilmington dispatches it
will be seen that the Yankee fleet attack
ed Fort Fisher about i. M, on Satur-
day, and bombarded it heavily till night
fall, renewing the attack at ~ o'clock on
Sunday morning, and continuing it
throughout the day; that under cover OF
the fire of the feet the enemy landed an
infantry force above Fort Fisher, which
attacked this fort ON Sunday night, and
were repulsed, Fort Fisher is situated on
sand spit of the right bank Of the Cape
Fear river, at its mouth 30 miles below
Wilmington.
"1he enemy are presumed to have
reached their position above the fort, not
by passing up the river, where they wonld
have been obliged to run the gauntlet of
the guns both of Forts Fisher and Cas-
we'll on the left bank but by landing on
the beach east of the mouth of Cape Fear
river The enemy having effected q
lodgment above the fort Is a serious mat
ter. 1t will cost double the force to dis
