ADMIRAL Porter's Reply to Gen. BHtter,.
NExv YoRK Ian Ia

NEW I Uhh1 Jdns IU'
The Herad's Washington dispatch says Adj
miral Porter has sent the Navy Department q
response to Gen. Buffers statements of the
Fort Fisher affair. He says the only work as
signed the navy was TO silence the rebel works,
which was effectually done Dec. 25th. But as
Gen. Butler decided that the assault by the
military was then unfeasible, it would be
equally SO, II done at an earlier day. General
Butler started on the expedition before the
navy was ready to cooperate, thus exposing
his transports to view, and warning the enemy
of danger He also charges that the army
portion of the enterprise was got up in very
unmilitary manner. ns agaa 3za.

Rear Admiral Porter, U. s.. N.-Sir: It may
be Of assistance to you to receive, together
with the six rebel deserters mentioned in my
letter of this date, the following memorandum
of information obtained FROM one of their num-
Der by Corporal Thomas Lawley, of marines.
He says he was stationed both during and
since the bombardment in the naval battery
Buchanan, commanded by Lieut.. Chapman
and situated near the mound; that there were
between 500 and 600 men in the fort in the
two days of attack, and no troops in Whining
ton or vicini y to reinforce them; that the fire
from the feet was SO fierce as to drive the
rebels from their guns and into bomb proofs
throughout the greater part of their works
soon after the commencement of the action;
that tgo of their Brooks guns burst, killing
and wounding some twenty five men that we
dIsmounted eight of their guns, besides muir
ing several Of their gun carriages |; that we
killed thirteen of their men and wounded thir-
ty; that Gen. Whiting supposed the boats
sent into the bar on the 28th to be a storming
party of seamen, TO which he would have been
Obliged to surrender; that subsequently, the
rapid bombardment at sunset was so terrific
that when our troops appeared In front of the
fortimmediately afterwards the garrison waited
the assault to surrender without resistance !;
that they could not imagine why1the attack
had been abandoned; that matters remained
in the same condition on the morning Of the
26th and throughout that day; that we could
have easily possessed ourselves of the fort I'M
til late in the afternoon when Gen. Bragg ar
rived at Wilmington with 5000 men from Lees
army at. Richmondl that finding our troops
were re-embarking Bragg decided not to mo-
