VICTORY1I

Fort Fisher, the key to Wilmington, is ours
BY series of daring assaults, with courage
and ability almost unprecedented in the history
of warefare, our forces succeeded in capturing a
fort declared inaccessible by one of the abest en-
gneers in our service
What will be the sentiments Of the Richmond
Dispatch, now which only two days since declared
that Fort Fisher was stronger than ever?''
The importance of the victory cannot be oyer-es-
timated The system of blockade-running is for
ever stopped Not port remains into which
they can gain entrance. The effect in Europe will
be immense. Savannah and Wilmington will be
followed by Charleston and Richmond. The poll
ticians of the Continent viii appreciate the impor-
tance of the great successes thus achieved and no
further fears need be entertained of foreign inter
vention. EUening Telegraph

VA r SUMMARY.


The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the Nor
folk old Dominion gives the following intelligence
about Sherman operations, which we find nowhere
else: II learn that the expedition which went up
the Savannah River the other day, met with great
success. When about sixty miles up the river, a
large force was landed, which was march to the
Columbia and South Carolina road when about ten
miles of the road was completely destroyed The
expedition met with little no opposition. Gen
Fosters forces captured company of South Caro-
lima militia in the vicinity of Hardeevile They had
been in the field but two weeks, and did not seem
to relish hard fighting overmuch This successful
expedition is part of the grand project which has
for its object the complete isolation of Richmond
And not many weeks will pass before Sherman will
have entire possession of all the railroads connecting
Virginia with the cotton States
General Sherman is moving in earnest either upon
Charleston or Branchvile, and perhaps on both
The Richmond papers announce that he crossed a
considerable portion of his army the Savannah
river on the 9th inst and that at the date of latest
accounts he was marching towards and was near
Grahamsville, South Carolina, on the railroad run
ming from Savannah to Charleston thirty -four miles
from the former and seventy from the latter place.
The Rebels are unable to determine, though, wheth-
er he is moving on Charleston or Branchville, sixty
two miles north oft, and on the railroad running
from that city to Augusta, Ga. This road they ex-
pect Kilpatricks cavalry viii cut Grahamsville is
about the same distance from Charleston and Branch
ville and the Rebels thus rendered doubtful as
to which point he win attack. An arrival from Port
Royal confirms the Rebel report that Gen. Sherman
had sent the Seventeenth Corps to Beaufort to CO.
operate with Gen. Foster.
We have some particulars of the Rebel attack at
Beverly Court, West Virginia, Wednesday morning,
llth. The attacking force was commanded by Gen.

slavery Abolished in Tennessee--Progrese of
Emancipation.

Union State Convention in Tennessee has
unanimously decreed the Immediate abolition of
.layery throughout State and its prohibition for
ever; and ii was further decreed that there should
e beno compensation to slave owners. The propo-
sitions are to be submitted for the ratification of
the people on the I'D of FEBRUARY, when, doubtless
E the same popular elements which brought togeth-
er this Convention win establish Its work as the
future organic law ofthe Commonwealth.
Missouri was notfar behind Maryland in her
resolution Of emancipation aud now Tennessee,
close upon the heels of Missouri, has, ina mo-
ment, been added to the list offree States Such
are the results ofthat insane enterprise ofnanow-
sighted, self conceted and reckless Southern poll
ticians 10 break up the Union and found an inde-
pendent Southern confederacy by war on the
corner stoneo ofslavery Thus this troublesome
institution, which otherwise might have survived
in this country, under a reign Of peace, for cen
tury to come, may be pronounced as as already de-
sfroyed Before the end of five years from the
bombardment of Fort Sumpter, we may hazard
the prediction that there win be neither sla-
very nor Involuntary seryitude except in the pun

United States, from the British possessions tc

VII setStle this business.
Sneh are the fruits of this momentous and rev
olutionizing war; plunged far into the perpetuatior
and expantion of Slavery. 1t seems to us that il
was but the other day that President Lincoln sub
mitted his original plan of emancipation to Con
gress. whereby slavery would be removed from
the country BY the year Of grace 1900 We have
Just entered the year 1865, and we find slavery a
bolishad in West Virginia, Maryland Missouri

escape III Delaware and Kentucky, oyerthroWn

The work which, through hundred years Of
domestic peace we had rdly approached, is thus
substantially accompH. I'd within four years o.
tremendous and resistless civil war. Let the
friends Of the constitutional amendment We have
indicated wait in patience little longer, and VIZ
guess that they viii yet find, even in the present

PENNSYLVANIA QUoTA TO BE REDUCED. The
Legislative Committee returned from their visit
to Washington on Thursday the 14th inst. The
Committee had an interview with Provost Marshal
General Fry, who informed them that new assign
ment of quotas will be made in few days, and
that the quota of Pennsylvania viii be reduced =
Men who have deserted after being mustered in
will be credited to the districts for which they
volunteer, and naval enlistments for unknown
terms viii be accounted as for three years. The
quota of New York viii be increased. General Fry
says that the Government is determined this time
to have themen, and viii arrange accordingly
1t is said that the Interpretation put upon Pro-
vost Marshal General Fry recent order in refer
ence to credits under former calls for troops was
wrong and unjust to that officer. Every district
is fully credited with the number of men it has
furnished The details were such as to satisfy
entirely the Committee Of the Legislature of this
State who recently went to Washington in refer
ence to the matter.

Death of Edward Everett.

We are startled by the announcement of the
sudden death of Edward Everett. He died Of ap-
oplexy Sunday morning, at his residence in Bos-
ton. Mr.. Everett has latterly held no public po-
sition, but his death viii create as much deep and
respectful regret as if he had held the highest of
fee in the land His accomplishment as sehol-
ar his eloquence as ah orator. his public services
as patriot and his personal qualities as u man,
have commanded for him the universal respect
and esteem of his countrymen. No young man
ever entered more brilliantly or with more deserv-
ed applause than he upon the public career which
was so long and so honorable-no we're the prom
ises of youth ever more completely fulfilled than
in his instance. Mr., Everett was almost the last
of the great orators of this country. He had cul-
tivated eloquence as an art. Everything he said,
whether the location was great or trivial, was the
best, and was said in the best style and manner,
which the most careful and conscientious prepare
ton could devise. All the resources of his spen-
did scholarship were made tributary to the COM
pleteness and effect of his public speeches Some
of his oraions viii stand permanently as the very
best productions of American eloquence, not mere
ly in single department, but on all the various
topics, of which he seemed to be equally master
and all his writings are characterized Nby eminent
cearness and purity of STYLE and the utmost grace
and felicity of language. But Mr. Everett S
strongest claim upon the affectionate gratitude OF
the American people, lies in the compete and abb
solute conservation of the last years of his life to
the cause of his country Previous to the out
break of the rebellion, forseeing its imminence,
and despairng of the ability Of any party or poll
teal successes to avert it, he devoted himself,
with all his heart and strength to systematic ap-
peal to the patriotism of the people, as embodied
in their love for the memory of Washington; and
from the moment the existence of the Govern
ment was threatened by armed insurrection, he
brought every faculty of his mind, and every en-
ergy Of his soul TO its defence With degree of
labouous industry which find few parallels, he
has used his voice and his pen upon every oppor-
tune OCCASION and with eminentability, in support
of the Government, and in aid Of every move
ment to increase its energy, supply the neeessi-
ties and relieve the suffering of those engaged in
its defence 1t would not be easy to name any
man to whose labors, within his proper sphere,
the country is more largely indebted than to Mr..
Everett He has spent long and laborious life
in the service Of the public he had reached ripe
agebefore his labors wereinterrupted, and his mem
ory viii be held in lasting honor by his grateful
cOuntrymen.-N T. Times of Monday.
