Important War News.

Important war news.
The news from Wilmington is highly important:
r., rsderal fleet has returned, and after furious
tombardment of two days. Fort Fisher was as.
,nted at four o'clock on Sunday evening last, and
,be report is that the enemy was repulsed. We
NAV hear more before going to press.
II is reported that Gen. Sherman has left Savac-
,.h with so, 900 men, and that he is moving with
,ro columns on Augusta and Branchville The
farmer place. We learn, will net be defended; but
conflict is expected at the latter, considerable
number OF Confederate troops have been concen'
rated at that point 1t is conectued that if Sher-
man should take Branchville his next movement
will be against Columbia, South Carolina, leaving
Charleston on his right as he advances. 1t is sup
oosed that his calculation is, if Wilmington and
Bsnchyille can be taken and occupied that Charles
ston will fall without being regularly attacked.
1t is reported that Gen. Hood has fallen back to
Blue Mountain, Alabama. But for his ill-starred
ezpedition to Tennessee he might now have been at
Branchvle, ready to defend that important point
against Sherman.

True enough, the President has no respect for
public opinion as expressed through the free presses
of the country. There are government detectives
without character, and drunken psrtzans, who
have more influence at Richmond than all the free
presses in the South. A Senator who carries his
private key to the gambling hells of Richmond has
more influence with the administration than . score
