Fort Fisher. A detachment of twenty
nine men, under Lieutenant Roby, was
sent FROM this battery to man the Brooke
guns at Fort Fisher.
On the 24th, at 12 o'clock NJ, the
fleet of the enemy got under way in line
ahead (the 1ronsides leading), and at l
o'clock they opened fire on the fort
There were forty three vessels engaged,
throwing every kind of projec:i!es, from
a 3-inch bolt to l5-inch Shell. \ most

5: 80 2. NJ, when the enemy withdrew.
On the 2oth, at 10: 80, the fight was re-
newed by the same number Of vessels,
and the fire was inccssant until 5 80 p
NJ, when the fleet again went beyond the
range Of our guns.

on them from one gun, and at the fourth
discharge sunk one of the boats the
others quickly withdrew. At 5 90 P.
NJ, message was received from Fort
Fisher, saying the enemy had landed and
were advancing on the fort, and asking
for reinforcements. Two-thirds of the
men belonging to the battery were inn
mcdiatel y sent to the fort, under Lieuten-
ant Arledgc and officers Of the COM
panies. They double quicked to the fort,
and got there in time to assist in repelling
the assault. We were at quarters nearly
all Sunday night, expecting an attack
from the boats Of the fleet.
On the 26th, the men belonging to the
battery, except those under Lieutenant
Roby, returned from Eort. Fisher. There
was no firing on the fort on the Goth or
9th. On the 9th, the forces Of the
enemy re-embarked, and on the night
of the 2Sth the fleet disappeared, leaving
only the regular blockading squadron Off
this place.

tenant Roby burst. send his report.

were with Lieutenant Roby, and | un-

and the men with them, is above all
praise. Out Of the twenty-nine men
from this battery serving at Fort Fisher
nineteen were killed and wounded, and [
regret to state that some have since died.
Lieutenants Armstrong and Dornin came
down as volunteers. They went to the
forts and behaved as gallantly as men
could do. Lieutenant Dornin was pain

1t may we'll be doubted whether the
United States, with all its braggadocio,
can ever raise again such armies as those
which have already taken the field. The
haltnillion draft of last year yielded
only seventy thousand eifectiyes, and it
is the opinion Of the most intelligent
Northern men that resort to conscrip-
ton would break down the war. If our
own affairs are wisely conducted, and
our resources of men and material Judi
ciously husbanded, we have no reason
for encouragement. If we are conquered,
it will not he by the Yankees, but by
ourselves Most Of the misfortunes We
now suffer arc the results Of our own
faults and b,unders. 1t would be
miserable fate enough to be overwhelmed
and subjugated by sheer force; but to
perish by our own folly and mismanage-
ment is too horrible to think Of Every
public man, every official, high and low,
in every branch of the service, should
realize the fearful weight ofrcsponsibility
that now rests upon those to whom the
country has entrusted the success of its
cause,

FRENCH STATISTICS.

tics: "From the 1st day Of October,
1863, to like date 1864, there were
slaughtered in Berlin fifteen hundued
and fifty two horses, the flesh of which
was sold at from five to six cents the
pound" Some years ago the lamented
Gcoffrey St. Hilaire, enthusiastic propa-
gator of the sound doctrine of Hippo
phagy, set out table, at his residence
by the Jardin des Plantes, with baked,
and boiled, and stewed, and toasted,
and fried, and smoked, and roasted,
horse meat, and preliminary flesh soup
of the same. Doctor Yran, one Of .
dozen partakcrs of that generous horse
pitality, gave a toothsome account Of the
banquet in the time of it.
A somewhat similar horsepitable ex-
pertinent was tried on volunteers after a
lecture on the subject at the Garden oi

Tor all the damages they have suffered,
their eyes might be blinded and their
bitter principles overcome by the com
bined influence OF revenge and rich
carsocs. They sat choose to consider
t.le English flag, whenever they met it, a
mere cover for fraud and humbug-two
things which are especially abhorrent to
Yankee character. In this way they
might render The ocean as unsafe a
highway for English as French COM
merce, and dhake the whole maritime
world pay tribute to their enterprise.
If Juarez has adopted this policy, he is
very sensible nNn for Mexican. The

peror sought in obtaining Mexico would

He would immediately make profound

She is never unprepared to fight, and
therefore may be disposed to risk con-

only mischief the Unitod States can in

could be no great hazard in attempting a
little retaliation.
