Admiral Porter, in a spirited dispatch dated on
the 10Th inst briefly details the work that has been
accomplished by the navy at the mouth Of Cape
Fear river since the fall Of Fort Fisher The entire
chain Of rebel works in that vicinity. including eight
or ten Of the most formidable forts constructed in
the most complete manner, aad containing altogeth
er eighty three guns, have been captured and are
now garrisoned by sailors All those works, which
the rebels we're four years in constructing, fell INTO
the hands of Admiral Porter's men within twenty
four hours after General Terrys troops had secured
possession Of Fort Fisher. The total number OF
guns captured in a the Cape Fear river forts IS one
hundred and sixty-eight most Of them being heavy
ones. The Admiral announces the fact that several
of these were the celebrated Armstrong guns, which
the British government claims the exclusive right to
use and states that the immense supplies of English
goods that had been run into Wilmington are al
most beyond credence. The rebels left in the forts
large quantities Of stores and provisions, which
the national forces are now snbsistng. a telegram
from General Lee to rebel officer. saying that if
Forts Fisher and Caswen were not held he would
have to abandon Richmond, was picked up soon
after the taking of those places. To the blockade
runners already mentioned as captured by Admiral
Porter vessels since the national forces have esab
lished themselves at the entrance to Wilmington,
we have to add that Charlotte, Stag, and another
whose name is unknown, from Bermuda, with vaua-
BILE cargoes Of arms and clothing for the rebels.
The Owl attempted to run in the night of the
2oth, but, apparently becoming suspicious Of a
change in the position Of affairs, ran out again and
made her escape. The transport steamer General
Lyon arrived here yesterday from Fort Fisher with
five hundred rebel prisoners on board.
The Richmond Hhig Of Friday says it was re-
ported in that city that Gen Lee had been appoint
ed Generaln Chief, and that Gen. Joseph Z. John
ston had succeeded him in the command Of the Ar
my Of Northern Virginia. 1t had been expected
that Gen. Johnston would be assigned to the com
mand of the forces confronting Sherman.
Some of the Richmond newspapers have stated
that the rebel feet on James river made another at
tempt to pass the Union batteries and Instructions
after their failure of last Thursday. But this is not
so. 1t is contradicted by the dispatches and al
so by the Richmond Hhtg Of Thursday evening,
which stated that the vessels of the fleet still re-
manned at their first position up the river.

DEMOCRACY AND SLAVERY. The democratic
leaders seem determined that their party shall 90
down with slavery Their infatuation is wholly
inexplieable on any recognized theory Of human
nature. The explanation most creditable to them
Is, that having served slavery all their lives they
consider themselves bound in honor to die in its
embrace The sentiment is chivalric but it Is a
peryerse exhibition Of it. IF they could hope to
save tl institution for which they have sacrificed
50 much, re could understand their obstinate 10y
atty to it. But they do not hope for it, they con
fss that it Is more than half dead and can never
be resuscicated Still they cling to it. and refuse
to get out Of the way and allow the people to give
II decent burial They cannot deny that the adop-
tion Of the constitutional amendment abolishine
the institution Is WITHIN the power Of Congress
and the people and that it viii dispose of the
vexed question peacefully and forever. And ye
they resist is passage, although they know that
the next Congress viii certainly pass II, and that
al they can possibly accomplish By their opposi-
ton, IS to hold back the people for a few months
from work they have fully determined to do
Wen, if the democratic leaders consider it a mat
ter of honor to cling to the dead carcase to the
last they have the right to do it But they had
better not hold on TOO long, or they may be tum-
bled into the same grave and be buried with it
Perhaps that catastrophe would not be the worst
thing that could happen for the country

The Rlalr Mission.

The National Hteiligencer of Saturday thus
speaks of the return of Mr.. Blair
Fhe rumors which reach us of the result of Mr..
Blairs mission are such indicate merely what of
his negotiation has transpired land which was to be
looked for, in the initiative steps of this official
talk which we still regard as set foot by the gov
ernment with all the sanctions but without the for
mality, Of regular diplomacy If the worst is to be
believed of these rumOrs, it only amounts to what
the IteIigeRcer has anticipated in several numbers,
which looked to the fact that the Davis Government
would present the ultlmatum OF Independence. If
the Southern States shall adhere 70 such ultima
tum than impetus will be at once given to the
war.
The Washington correspondent Of the Evening
Post writes as follows
Mr.: Blair has returned from Richmond, and it is
understood that nothing has resulted from his at
tempted negotiation. The more sagacious politicians
here have seen from the beginning that this must be
the result tits claimed that the President has
established the point that he desired, and viii call
upon the opposition to support him in his war poll
cy for the reason that oyerures for peace have been
rejected.
Some of the peace Democrats are claiming, this
afternoon, that Mr.. Blair found the rebels ready to
treat for peace if this government would agree to
give the States the entire control OF the slavery
question, but this even is not true. The rebel lea
ders would not agree to abandon the doctrine Of
cesson, and would not agree to come back into the
old Union upon any terms.
The Herald correspondent states that the mis-
sion is an entire failure. He adds
Finding all efforts to accommodate matters una
vailng. Mr. Blair has returned to this city, and his
labors as a peaee-maker are ended Nothing now
remains but vigorous prosecution Of the war until
the army of Lee is destroyed, and then peace will
come, not By negotiation, but by the dsintregation
of the rebel government.
The rebels are determined to make one last offort

enforcement Of the eonseription of white men, TO

change the current Of disaster which has so steadily
set against them of late. Their hopes of recogni-
ton have not altogether failed them and they are
encouraged from the action of Congress in rela-
ton to the French occupation of Mexico, to believe
that France viii soon recognize them as an offset TO
the hostility displayed towards the government

guens are used to keep the rebel Congress and the

full settlement Of the war.
a resolution viii be introduced in the Senate on
Monday calling upon all the President for all the
Blair Davis correspondence.
The New York Times says editorially
Mr. Blair took with him anote from the President
addressed to himself, and saying that whenever Mr.
Davis, or anybody else, saw TIT TO send persons to
treat concerning peace and areStoraon of the bies
sing of the Constitution the people OF our COM
mon country" !" they would be received and treated
with due consideration. And we do not learn from
his second visit in securing from Mr.. Davis, any rec
ognition of this as basis upon which he could sehd
commissioners. And in default of this, his visits to
Richmond if farces, have at least been failures.
The government has just one thing on its hands
now-the destruction Of Lees army. When that Is
accomplished, the rebellion will be substantially
suppressed and peace can be restored, until then,
it win not.

says that it publishes all the reports sent to it par

1t is known that English vessels and adventures

very serious trouble has lately arisen at some
points on the coast, and our Consuls have felt il
