The Tribuns's correspondent says of
Fort Anderson:
at is work Of great extent, covering
nearly as mucn ground as that of Fort
Fisher. Ii is work of immense strength,
its front, like that work, being . series of
large mounds or traverses rising 25 to so
feet above the waters Of Cape Fear River,
on which it fronts to the north east, and
extending in alternating mounds, travsr-
ses, angles, embrasures and ditches, en-
closing an area Of abou, four square miles.
Its Importance is greatly enhanced when
state that it was connected with . sys-
tenn of river distractions, cheveau.s de
frize, torpedoes. &c, which it would have
been impossible to pass while held by the
enemy; and also commands the right of
the enemy's strong line of works on the
opposite peninsula side Of Cape Fear riv.
er. The capture Of this fort, which is the
key of their position necessitates the evac.
nation of that work, now or until yester-
day held by Gen. Hays division. and the
retirement Of the whole of Gen. Bragg :
forces to point nearer Wilmington"

Desperation OF the X bel Leaders In
North Caroltma.


The "reign OF terror" in the interior of
this State is nov about 10 reach it's cul-
miuating point. As the day ofretribu-
ton approaches the rebel leaders are be-.
coming more furious aud bloodthirsty
than ever The chief ot jsets Of their ven-
sgeance just now seems TO be the Union
men Of the State. Unable TO drive these
men into the shamhles prepared for
thsm BY the despotism at Redmond, the
strongest effort lis now being made by
Vance TO crush them to the earth. There
is deep aud widespread "irrepressible
conflict" now going on. ands these insult.
ed and abused Union men ought to have
every possible support and encouragement
that Federal arms can give them.
The outrageous and infamous conduct
of Vance has naturally aroused The oppo-
sition and hatred of every man in the
State having the slightest Union feeling.
Vance now t-herods Herod'' in his
persecution Of every man who does not
scream and shout for Davis. All those
who have been disposed to set him down
as liberal man having sympathy for the
Union cause, may at once rid themselves
of this delusion. He now stands in bis
true colors-an implacable foe Of the ma
iional government and 40 unceasing CO.
worker with the vilest traitors and rebels
in the South. Let every true Union man
stand firm and defiant, for the rule Of this
miserable tool and tyrant of Davis max
ing will ere long be 1t an end. and be COM
PEELED to Fly before the indignant masses he
now attempss to trample under feet. II
We do not mistake the signs of the times,
the day OF deiverance from the jaws Of
despotism in this State is very nearly on
hand. When that suspicious event does
happen, then the petty tyrsnts who have
persecuted men for the sole crime of ad-
herring to the Union will have to look we'll
10 the safety of their own necks.-[ North

gossip about horses:

There are some fine horses in Oregon,
but wish they would commission me to
select one here. I don't mean the native
California stock, for one Of that breed
would give him more sudden "hoist"
than even his late well-deserved promo.

littls amusement called .bucking, which
performance consists in short run, .
