New York. Dec 3


The Times correspondent details the ope-
rations Of the land force against TT. Fisher.
II appears that the 142d New York first
reached shore. They advanced but a short
distance when they charged and carried
Flag Pond Battery, capturing sixty five
prisoners.
We found in the work one 6S-pounder,
which had been dsmounted Ivy the fleet, and
Il great quantity Of small arms
The garrison surrendered without firing a
shot
A party Of $50, infantry and cavalry, of
the rear, dispersed on being fired upon
They then marched toward Fort Fisher, and
soon actually advanced under cover Of the
guns of that work As they were SO near,
the guns could not be depressed sufficiently
to take effect upon them. They charged a
rc,loubt and captured flag. One of the
number crcpt up to an angle of the fort, and
shot mounted Orderly arrived with des-
patches, and captured his dispatches and
the mule he rode.
Soon aftcrward q company deploycd to
the right and captured over goo rebels
who were marching down road. In the
meantime.'the other regiments reformed in
line, making in all about 5000, out Of the
1000 in the expedition. Another regiment
was sent to follow the 142d, but were or
dercd to return after skirmishing little
with the enemy in the woods in the dircc
ton of Half Moon battery. These partic-
uars include all that was accomplished by
| the land force.
