Destination of Admiral POrter's
Fleet-NO Winter Quarters.

New YORK, Dec. 19.-The Commercial
announces that Wilmington Harbor is the
supposed destination of the great expedi-
tion which sailed from Hampton Roads on
the 18th inst. 1t says the plan of Admiral
Porter will probably be to effect first the
reduction of Fort Fisher, which will be
shelled mt long range, and as soon as the
fire of the fort slackens, the light draft gun
boats and monitors will pass the fort and
encounter the distractions in the river
above. To aid in the reduction of the fort,
Admiral Porter will probably have recourse
to the explosion of powder close under the
walls, demolishing them by the conclusion.
The powder will be carried there by on old
transport. The distractions removed from
Cape Fear river, the fleet can pass up to
Wilmington and assist General Butler in the
capture of the place. If success is achiev-
ed, Wilmington will undoubtedly be made
a base for future operations.
The Commercial also says there is to be
no winter quarters for any OF the armies
except that portion of Grants which will
continue the siege of Petersburg and Rich
mond. Before the 1st of May we will oc-
cupy the entire coast and every strategic
point upon the lines of communication in
the South. Lee will be powerless to pre-
vent this, and by the first of May will find
Grant ready to dispute with him the pos
session of Richmond.

hundred yards from the Capitol, which is

and all public buildings are full. The quarry
stands at bay. Half of the prisoners are
barefooted, and all are sleeping on beds of

During the fight at Spring Hill Major
Bowling, of the 18th Tennessee, was NOR
tally wounded. His men swore to aveDge
his death, and they did 1t in yesterdays
fight with desperate valor.
Gov. Andrew johnson was present In the
vicinity of the last bloody charge, which he
watched with intense interest. ,gef .ti &
Additional particulars of yesterdays en-
gagement are highly creditable to our cav
airy, who contributed to the defeat OF the
rebels by their effective corporations.
Gen. r. M. johnson, instead of being
killed as reported, has turned the rebel
flank and crossed Harpeth river, eleven
miles fronfthe city.
A large number of rebel prisoners reach
ed the city last night and this morning, who
will be forwarded North at once. Among
the killed in Yesterdays fight were Major
Storey, 10th East Tennessee cavalry; Lieut..
Van Fleet 29th Michigan; Lieut.. Jno. Sc
crist, 123d Indiana; Lieut.. Thomas, 18th
Michigan cavalry; Capt. Schell, Slst Indi-
ana; Capt. Agnes and Capt. Aldridge, 18th
u. S. colored troops. In the first charge
made by the colored troops on the rebel
works. the 18th regiment lost 256 men and
the 18th 10. Lieut.. Geo. Taylor, 18th U. S.
colored regiment, is among the killed
Officers of colored troops wounded-Col.
Hollenstein and Lieut.. Babbitt, 18th; Capts.
Wright and Straight, and Lieut.. Grosvenor,
Tooth.
About 100 deserters came into our lines
yesterday.
The army is to-day undoubtedly attack
ing the rear of the rebels, as heavy firing
was heard in the direction of their retreat
early this morning.
The total number of prisoners captured
in the two days fight is estimated 6,500.-
Hoods loss In men cannot be less than 15,-
600 since he advanced from Columbia to-
wards Nashville.
Gen. Thomas is determined to again give
battle, and has ordered pontoon trains for
ward to cross streams between this city and
Columbia.
Reliable information confirms the con-
scription of several well known citizens re-
siding near Nashville, among them
McGaverick, Holding, Johns, and Archer
Cheatham, who have been forwarded to
Nashville.
Among the incidents yesterdays fight,
while during the heavy artillery fire about
noon, the 9th Ohio battery, located imme-
diately to the left of the Franklin pike, in
two successive shots from their guns blew
up two caissons of rebel battery-Stand-
ford's, of Mississippi. The whole of which
was afterwards taken by our forces in the
last assault.
Weather to-day warm, with shower

st. Francis Hospital.

Several ladies' of the city have decided to
nold Fair for the benefit of st. Francis
Hospital, which is in need of funds.
This Hospital, in charge of the Sisters of
the Poor of st. Francis, has been in opera
tion nearly three years, and has afforded
gratuitous relief to some three hundred
poor and homeless sick.
The need of such an institution in Column
bus is definitely settled by the fact that the
Hospital is constantly full, and the Sisters,
to their regret, are obliged daily to turn
away those who seek relief at their hands.
From our knowledge of the hospital, and
those who have it in charge, we are certain
that the sick are faithfully nursed, without
question whence they come or to what de-
nomination they may happen to belong.
We, therefore, beg leave to commend the
object of the proposed Fair to our citizens,
and to express hope that it will receive
liberal support. S. NJ. SMITH,

Arming Negrocs-A Fight on the East
Tennessee RaiIroad-rhc Situation
i'm Georgia.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Thc Richmond En-
quirer of the 10Th has semi-oflicial edito-
rial in favor of arming slaves, and says
General Lee is in favor of the proposition.
The Enquirer says: When we supplicate
European nations for help, we must be pre-
pared to receive it on their conditions,
which will be the abolition of slavery. 1t
also asks, Shall we prolong our war, sacri-
flee our children and destroy our country
for the sake of the negroes? 1t concludes:
We hate, detest, despise the enemy far
more than we love slavery.
A telegram to the Richmond Whig from
Lynchburg the 14th says: A body of Yam
KEGS returning towards Beams Station en-
countered our forces at East Zolicolfer Sta
tion, on the East Tennessee road, nine miles
west of Bristol, where a fight was said to
be progressing at last accounts.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 10th says
Foster is quiet under his failure on the Sa-
vaunah railroad, and Sherman has seeming
ly despaired Of opening communication
with the sea at Beaufort.
The capture of Fort McAllister is an
nounced. The liability of its capture has
been well understood. Sherman will now
be able to get supplies by way of Ossabaw
Sound. Should he capture Savannah, it
will have exchanged city in the interior
for city on the coast, which has been COM
pletely closed to commerce since the loss of
Fort Pulaski in 1862.
