We also fired through the night.
In the mean time Gen. Schofield was work
ing IN the rear OF the rebels to cut them off.
The rebels did not wait for the army to sur
round them, but left in the night, taking Eve
or six pieces of light artillery with them, and
everything else of any value.
Atdaylight this morning, some OF the troops
that were near by went in and hOisted the
flag on the ramparts, when the firing ceased.H
There were ten heavy guns in Fort Ander-

but three killed and five wounded.

The anniversary Of the birth of George
Washington, coupled with the glorious an
nouncement that the Stars and Stripes waved
over Charleston, where the first rebel gun was
fred nearly four years ago at that flag as it
then waved over Fort Sumter, was appropri-
ately noticed in this city yesterday. Flags
were displayed on all the public, and on many
private buildings, and on the shipping in our
harbor. Business was generally suspended,
and every one seemed to rejoice in the down
fall of that hot bed of secession.
At noon all the bells in the city pealed forth
ajoyful chime for half an hour. One hundred
guns, and National salute were fred from
Bramhal, and Nationals salute from Fort
Preble and the Revenue Cutter Mahoning.
The Observatory was gaily decorated by
Mr.. Enoch Moody, with flags of all nations.
The two Canadian steamships were gaily
dressed in flags from deck TO truck in COM
memoration Of the day.
AT Camp Berry Major Rollins paraded his
command at - o'clock and read the orders
from the War Department. A National salute
was then fired for the glorious victory achiev-
ed by Gen. Sherman's army and in commem-
Grafton Of Washington's birthday
