The Richmond papers publish official
r.por,s OF the defense Of Foct Fisher and
the surrounding works. The strength Of
the garrison and the damage done by the
bomb rlmeat are not related. The Sen
yiael states that dscord between Butler
anil Porter was tie cause of the failure.
Ohe of the rebel prisoners says eight guns
were disabled in Fort Fisher. and that the
severe Smelling drove the men to the case
mates, where they fully expected an as
saul: aud could have made little resistance.
New York. Jan. l6.-The Times spe
ci,l says: From an interview with Mrs.
Foote it appears that the rebel Congress is
slavishly subservient to Davis; that when
bills meet with opposition, the majority
20 into secret session ana rush them
through; that the character of war has
been changed by Davis, and is now carried
on FIR his own purposes; that unless it
can b.. terminated to satisfy him and his
score Of politicians, he will carry it on in
more bloody and barbarous manner than
ever, and that there is not the slightest
prospect Of Blair meeting with success.
She ais, asserts that the great mass Of the
people want to come back into the Union
under the Constitution, but are restrained
by the military power, and as the freedom
h Of the press in this particular is essentially
gone, there is no way for them to express
their views. 1t is for the purpose of serv-
ing these people that Foote endeavored to
reach Washington. Mrs. Footc says
those who serve with the Richmond Junta
live as well as ever, and are supplied with
all the Injuries at comparatively small cost,
the Government paying the expenses.
