NEW YORK Jan. l9.-The following is
from the Richmond Dispatch of the 18th
instant, on the fall of Fort Fisher: We
presume this closes the port whining
ton. 1t commands the main entrance to
Cape Fear river, and will, we fear, eAa-
bic the enemy 10 blockade the river
completely, givingthem as it does sea-
cove lodgment on the left bank. Fort
Casswell and several other works still
guard the southern channel of the river.
Fort Fisher istwenty miles below VIII
mington. Some regard the fall OF Fort
Fisher as disaster, while many are dis
posed TO considerit blessing in disguise.
The latter, who are, it must be said a
numerous and sensible class, contend
that Wilmington as "A sea port has from
the beginning done us more harm than
good. They say that the goods i'm
ported through it have been Of little
good to us, while millions of dollars
worth of our cotton has thence found its
way into the enemy's hands. 1t isproper
to add that possibly our force, which, ac-
cording TO Gen. Lees dispatch, was ma
king a heavy demonstration against
their rear, may retake the fort.

BosToN, Jan. 19.-The funeral OF Ed
ward Everett took place to-day i'll the

From Canada.

OuRBEC, Jan. 19-Parliament opened
to-day The Governor, III his opening
speech, congratulates the House on the
general prosperity and cOutontment OF
the people and continuance of peace.
OF the infringement of the commerce and
territory of the United States by persons
who have sought refuge on Canadian
soil. he says: In order 10 prevent the
organization of such enterprises within
the provinces, and to enable ME TO dis
charge nv duties effectually, have seen
fit TO organize a system of detective po-
lice on the frontier, and with the same
design have called ont for permanent du-
ty a portion of the volunteers Of the pro
vince.
Similar considerations suggest the pro
priety of arming the executive Govern
ment with stronger power than now
possessed for dealing with persons who
are availing themselves Of the right OF
all asylum, always allowed on British
soil to political refugees, who are un-
mindful of the implied obligations which
by residence amongst us they contract
to obey the laws and respect the policy
of the sovereign A bill framed for this
purpose will be laid before the house,
and I ask for its consideration.
Tho Governor congratulates the House
OH the spirit shown 10y volunteers, and
asks vote for supplies and necessary
expenditures.
The House adjourned until Monday,
when consideration of the speech will be

Change in the Rebel Cabinet
The Release of Senator Foote.
John G. Breckinridge Reported Made
Secretary Of War-Habess Corpus
i'm the Case Of Mr. Foofe.
Press Dispatch. ]


New YORK, Jan. 19.-The Richmond
Dispatch of the 18th says:
1t was reported yesterday that John
C. Breckenridge was made Secretary of
War of the Confederate States. We
could obtain no confirmation of the re-
port in official circles, but there are rea-
sons for believing it. Breckenridge was
expected to arrive in the city last night
1t was also reported that Col. Northrop.
Commissary General had been displaced.
Judge Halliburton, of the Confederate
Court for the district of Virginia, yester-
day issued a writ of habeas corpus on the
petition of Hon. Henry s. FOote, mem-
Der of the House of Representatives from
Tennessee, to Capt. Hugh S. Daggell,
Provost Marshal of fredericksburg, to
bring before the Judge the body of FOOte,
or show a cause why he should not be
set at liberty Mr.. Foote in his petition
states that he had been arrested and held
in custody by order of Capt. Daggell,
who professed to be acting by the order
of one James A. Seldom, Secretary OF
War, &c. Happily this matter had been
settled by the House of Representatives,
to whom it was referred by the President,
declaring that they are of opinion that
the good of the country would not be
subserved by the forced attendance of
said member upon the sessions of the
House, but under all the circumstances OF
the case it is expedient that the military
authorities will discharge him from Gus
tody. We presume Mr. Foote has already
been set at liberty.

OFTHE REGISTER:

EDITORS OFTHE REGISTER:
Your correspondent, Justice" ais
very fully the cowardly and unfounded
charge of "inefficiency" made against Mr.
Sweeney by Mr.. Campbell. .Ishould like
to know why the charge was not Wade
in 1862, when all the circumstances OF
his administration We're fresh. Surely,
had there been any foundation for it,
the conviction thereof, in the minds OF
the people, might, and no doubt would,
have elected Mr. Paxton, and defeated
Mr.. Sweeney But the facts were too
well known at the time, and the opinion
universally held, that to Mr.. Swceney's
firmness, and his strict attention 70 his
duties under the laws, our community
was indebted for exemption from the
scenes of riot and lawlessness which OBJ
tanned in other cities Mr. Sweeney was
ALWAYS ON hand, active and vigilant TO
preserve the peace and qniet OF the city
The police officers knew they could rely
upon him to support them in discharging
their duties. Let me ask if they can or
do expect any countenance, or ever re-
ceive any backing from Mr.. Cranglei
Will you answer, Mr.. Brittf l believe
that TO the weakness of Mr. Crangle, III
this regard, is due much of the rowdyism
and disregard of law and order lately so
prevalent in the city, and which. in one
Unfortunate case, resulted in loss Of
life.
should like, now, 10 know Mr.. Camp
bells estimate of Mr. Crangle's efficiency

Maj Gen. Dir, Ne,o York:
The Richmond Whig. OF this morning,
contains the following account Of the
capture of Fort Fisher by the naval and
land forces of the United States:
"FALL OF FORT FISHER.
The unwelcome news Of the fall of
Fort Fisher, commanding the entrance
to Cape Fear river, was received this
morning, and occasions in this COM
munity a sensation of profound regret
The capture of this fort is equivalent TO
closing the harbor of Wilmington by the
enemy's fleet 1t is situated about le
miles below the city, but the main de-
tense of the entrance of the river, and its
fall, therefore, will prevent in future the
arrival and departure of blockade run
ners"
How far this reverse may prove injur-
ious to our cause remains to be seen, but
at present we regard it as an unfortu-
nate rather than disastrous event. The
following is the official report:
"HeadqudrterS ~ Va., Jan. l6th.-Hon.
j. A. Seddon :-Geperal Bragg reports
that the enemy bombarded Fort Fisher
furiously all day yesterday. At P. NJ.
their infantry advanced to the assault, a
heavy demonstration at the same hour
being made against their rear by our
troops. At half.past p. NJ. Gen Whit
ing reported that their attack had failed
and the garrison was being strengthened
with fresh troops. At IOP. NJ. the fort
was captured, with most of its garrison.
No further particulars are at this time
known. r. E. LEE"
