food. Some Of them are turning an
honest penny by making rice cakes, ETC.,
and getting their negroes to peddle
them out to the soldiers. A large num-
Der Of the citizens have asked to take
the oath of allegiance ; Mr.. Lamar, Of
slave-importing notoriety, among them.
His zeal is regarded as too excessive, and
his application has not yet been re.
sponded to. A good many persons,
male and female, have decided to link
their fortunes with the rebels, and have
accordingly been sent to Charleston and
delivered to their friends. The Provost

FORT FISHER, Jan. 16--2 A. N

FORT FISHER, Jan. 1872 a. NJ.
After careful reconnaissance on the
l4th, it was decided to risk an assault
on Fort Fisher. Paine's division, with
Colonel Abbott's brigade, was to hold
our line, already strong, across the Pc
ninsula and facing Wilmington against
Hoke's, while Amcs' division should as
sault on the west end. After three
hours heavy navy firing, the assault was
made at 8 P. NJ, on the 18th.
Curtis brigade led, and as soon as it
was on the west end of the land front
it was followed by Pennibacker's and
the latter by Bells. After desperate
fghtirg, gaining foot by foot, and Sc
vcrc loss, at P. NJ. We had possession
Of about half the land front.
Abbolts brigade was then taken from
our lino facing Wilmington, and put
into Fort Fisher and on pushing it
forward at 10 P. NJ. it took the rest Of
the work with little resistance, the gar.
risou falling back to tie extreme of the
peninsula, where they were followed
and captured, among others, Gen. Whit
ing and Col, Lamb, both wounded.
Think that We have quite l 900 pris
Opors. 1 hope our own loss may no
exceed 500. But it is impossible t.

ed are the commanders of the thre

wounded, not severely, but Colonel
Pennibaoker and Bell, dangerously.
The land front was formi able ont

Interesting to Soldiers.

The exhorbitant charges made by
claim agents for collecting bounties and
pensions due soldiers widows, are at
tracting some attention in the proper
quarter, and the legal remedy will be
applied to correct the abuse. The law
on the subject provides that not more
than ten dollars shall be demanded or
received for such service by agents, and
the penalty for violation is $500 fine, or
Imprisonment for two years. A case
was decided in the United States Court
at Indianapolis, few days ago, in which
man named G. G.. Werbe was charged
with having received an exhOrbitant fec
for collecting pension for a soldiers
widow. Tho testimony showed that be
retained 500 for this service, and the
jury found him guilty. Soldiers should
understand that it is q punishable of
fence for an agent to receive more thar
$40 for the service for collecting boun
ties or pensions.
