SPEER's SAMBURG PORT WINE.-We pub
lish to-day an advertisement of this noted
and excellent American Wine-samples of
which can be tasted at all our Druggists.
We believe it to be superior, in every re-
spect, and in all desirable qualities-medic-
inal not excepted-to pure and genuine
imported port, worth ten dollars a gallon.
Try it, if you are an invalid requiring a
healthy and harmless stimulant, and shun
the miserable humbug wines with which
the country is flooded, and not one gallon
in thousand of which contains drop of
the juice of the grape.-Watki,Gs Republi-
can.

| UNITED STATES,
| CITY POINT, December 6, 1864.
To MAJOR General Butler, Commanding Army
| Of the James,:
GENERAL-The first object of the expedi-
ton under General Weitzel, Is to close TO
the enemy the port of Wilmington. If
| successful In this, the second will be the
capture of Wilmington itself. There are
reasonable grounds to hope for success, if
advantage can be take@ssef the absence of
the. great part of the enemy's forces now
looking after Sherman in Georgia. The
directions you have given for the number
and equipment of the expedition are all
right except in the unimportant ones of
where they embark, and the amount of in
trenching tools to be taken.
The object Of the expedition will be gain
ed by eflecting a landing on the main land
between Cape Fear river and the Atlantic,
north of the north entrance to the river
Should such landing be effected, whether
the enemy hold Fort Fisher or the batteries
guarding the entrance to the river there, the
troops should entrench themselves, and by
cooperating with the navy effect the re-
duction and capture Of those places. These
III our hands, the navy could enter the har-
Dor, and the fate of Wilmington would be
sealed. Should Fort Fisher and the point
of land on which it is built fall into the
hands Of our troops Immediately on land
ing. twill be worth the attempt to capture
Wilmington by forced march and sur
prise.
If time is consumed in gaining the first
object of the expedition the second will be-
come matter of after reconsideration.
The details for the execution are entrust-
ed to you and the officer Immediately in
command of the troops. Should the troops
under General Weitzel fail to effect land
ing at or near Fort Fisher, they will he re-
turned to the army operating against Rich
mond without delay.

stars in Virginian sky.

loved peace, SO ! went to the war;

he saw before him many had contributed
to swell the ranks of the army in both
ways.
