directed Cox to follow It's garrison towards
Wilmington, while Terry followed Hoke
on the east side of the river
The latter took up new line, four miles
from Wilmington, but was so closely pressed
by Terry that be could send no troops to
the west side. On that side the rebels
made stand behind Tom Creek, but on
the 10th Cox crossed his troops below them,
on a fatbost, attacked them in the rear,
and routed them, taking two guns and three
hundred prisoners. On the 21st Cox
pushed to the Brunswick river, opposite
Wilmington, where the bridges were on
fire, and on his arrival the rebels began
burning cotton and rosin in the city and
left it that night.
Our captures, including Fort Anderson,
amount to about 700 prisoners, and so guns
Citizens state that the rebels burned
over 1000 bales Of cotton, and $4,000

The movements now progressing are
eliminating towards some decisive
events which will have an important
bearing on the war Sherman must
soon be met by the rebels, for if he
once succeeds in etfecting a junction
either with Sheridan on the left or
Sch0tield on the right, he will have an
army capable Of giving battle to Lees
forces even without the direct aid Of
Grant. His it must be remembered
are no undisciphned forces, but the
flower Of that army which drove the
rebels from forts, s,entrenchments, ridges.
mountain sides, fortified cities, river
banks, and other advantageous situa-
tions in Tennessee and Georgia, and
we have therefore no fears that his
victorious march will be stopped by
anything short Of Lees best troops,
and then only by preponderance of
numbers. These we think Grant will
not permit Lee to furnish, for if the
latter once begins to weaken his lines,
either by the withdrawal of his best
troops or replacing them by new re-
cruits, white or black, the fate of Rich
,7nond is sealed. The month of March
may witness great events, for the reb-
els cannot be ignorant that every dav
IN that month will add thousands to
the Union army, which no effort of
theirs can neutralize, and that if they
delay attack until Spring their condi-
ton will be more hopeless than ever.

Capture of Charleston, S. c.
NEW YORK. February 2l,

NEW URh, eDTudrS Il.
The purser of the steamer Fulton,
which arrived here this morning from
Port Royal, on the 18th, at six o clock,
p. m, stated that Charleston was evac-
uated by the enemy on the night Of the
18th, leaving the several fortifcations
uninjured, besides two hundred guns
which they spiked. The evacuation
was first discovered at Fort Moultrie.
in the morning at 10 o'clock. Part of
the troops stationed at James Island
crossed over in boats and took posses
sion of the city without opposition.
The upper part Of the city is on fire
At nine o'clock the flag was raised
amidst cheers. As fast as the forces
could be thrown into the city they were
set to work TO put out the fire, which
up to the time Of leaving was raging
fearfully in different parts Of the city.
Old men, women and children were
rushing frantically to and fro in an
agony of despair at the loss Of their
homes and the killing and mutiIating
of their friends. 1t is impossible TO
estimate the amount Of cotton des-
troyed. Several thousand bales were
collected in different parts Of the city
and set on fire almost simultaneous
with all the hospitals. There is no
doubt the rebels Intended to burn the
city to the ground, despite the misery
it would entail on thousands of wo-
men; children and old men, of which
class the inhabitants of Charleston are
now almost entirely composed. 1t was
the opinion of Gen. Gilmore and staff
that in all probability two-thirds of
the city would be destroyed before the
fire could be extingushed, with the
imperfect means Of subduing it at
hand
The last or rear guard of the rebels
lett Charleston at four this morning.
and there are various and conflicting
rumors as to their destination, but the
prevailing opinion is that they intend
concentrating in the vicinity of Flor
ence, to which point they have railroad
communication from Charleston, un-
less it has been recently destroyed by
the expedition to Bulls Bay.
Several hundred rebels who secreted
themselves in different parts of the
city, when the main column was re-
treating, had given themselves up and
taken the oath. They tell the story
Of being tired of the war, halt starved,
&c. They express a desire to be al
lowed to take the oath of allegiance to
our Government and to remain in the
city
The first flag over Sumter was raised
by Capt. Henry NJ Bragg, ar aid on
Gen. Gilmore's staff, having for a staff
an oar and boat-hook lashed together.
Through a carelessness which seems
