IHE NEWS.

The capture of Fort Fisher, commanding
the entrance TO Wilmington, which was gal
lantly accomplished last Sunday, is one of the
most important achievements of the war, and
occurring just at this time, when the rebels
are overwhelmed with depression in coDse-
quence of their late reverses and the gloomy
prospects of their cause, has peculiar signif
icance, and will prove staggering blow to
the bogus Confederacy. The only ray of com
fort they had to cheer them was the late fail
ure to take Fort Fisher and the supposed
abandonment of the attempt, but that last
crumb of comfort has suddenly been taken
from them.
An official despatch from the SECRETARY Of
War, who has gone South, addressed to the
President, announces movement on the part
of the l4th, 18th, and 18th Corps of Gen.
Sherman's army the latter part Of last week.
The move is into South Carolina, and Charles
ton is doubtless destined soon to receive atten-
tion at his hands. Up to last advices he had
encountered no serious opposition, and it is
doubtful if the rebels can muster a sufficient
force to impede his progress without drawing
upon Lees army, and that thsy will hardly at
tempt in thepresent state of affairs.
Gen. Thomas is understood to be changing
his position, making his base at point much
further south than Nashville. He will prob
ably be heard from soon, Hoods demoralized
forces not being in condition to offer any for
midable opposition to any movement he may
see it to make
Affairs remain quiet in front of Richmond
and Petersburg, as also in the Shenandoah
valley. The rebels say Grant is awaiting the
development Of movements being made else
where.
The peace movements and rumors which
have attracted SO much attention of late
amount to nothing. Blair has been to Rich
mond and returned, but brings no intelligence
Of Importance. Singleton, of Illinois, prom
inent peace Democrat, is also in Richmond,
trying his hand at negotiations on his own
hook, but it is not likely his efforts will effect
anything. The only peace commissioners the
rebel leaders are likely to listen to are Grant,
Sherman, Thomas, Terry and Sheridan, and
the prospect Of their success in speedily bring
ing them to terms is highly fattering.

The London Daily NeuOs, Of Dsc. 9, specu-
lating on the probable results of Sherman's
march through Georgia, properly estimates
the Importance of his efecting a secure lodg-
ment at some important point on the coast
which is now an accomplished fact. 1t says:
If an army cannot be brought against him
in the field, the reduction of the chief towns
of Georgia either at once. or after establishing
a communication with the coast, is only a
question of time. This done, the supplies for
the Virginia troops, and the communication
between the North and South of the Confeder-
acy, and the means by which smaller force
could maintain itself in Georgia, would be at
once cut off. Struck in the heart, the power
of the South would wither and fail. No ma
ton ever yet continued to fight after its ar
mics in the field were defeated and its chief
cities occupied; and if Sherman succeeds in an
expedition which will effect the latter and
greatly aid in the former result, he will GER
tainly achieve an exploit which, by shortening
the war, must be applauded by humanity.

Official War Bulletin No. 2.

WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, January 17-9 P. M.
lNajor General Dir, Nelo York:
The Richmond Wig, of this morning con-
tains the following account of the capture of
Fort Fisher by the naval and land ierces of
the United States:
THE FALL OF FORT FISHER.
The unwelcome news of the fall of Fort
Fisher, commanding the entrance to Cape
Fear river, was received this morning, and
caused a sensation of profound regret.
The capture of this fort is equivalent to the
closure of the harbor of Wilmington by the
enemy's feet. Il was situated about eighteen
miles below the city, but was the main defense
OF the entrance to the river, and It's fall, there
fore, will prevent in future, the arrival and de-
parIure Of blockade runners. How far this
reverse may prove injurious to our cause re-
mains to be seen, but at present we regard it
rather an unfortunate than disastrous event.
The following is the official report:
HEADQUARTERS NORTHERN VA. Jan. I6.
Hon. j. A. iSeddon:
Gen. Bragg reports that the enemy bonn
barded Fort Fisher luriously all day yester-
day.
At4 P. NJ. their infantry advanced to the
assault, heavy demonstration at the same
hour being made against their rear by our
troops.
At half-Past P. NJ. Gen. Whiting reports
that their attack had failed, and the garrison
was being strengthened with fresh troops
At Rbou. 10 P. NJ. the fort was captured,
with most of the garrison. No further par
tcuars at this time are known.
(Signed) r. E. LEE
No dispatches have been received from
Gen. Terry since that of Sunday night, an
nouncing the result of the assault.

A Convention recently in session at Nash
vile, Tenn, composed of delegates from every
county of the State, adopted some radical
amendments to the Constitution, which are to
be submitted to vote of the people for rati-
cation or rejection on the 22d of February
One Of the amendments abolishes Immediately
and forever the institution of negro slavery.
The Convention was an irregular and selfcon-
stituted body, bat it doubtless reflected the
sentiment Of the loyal portion of the people of
the State, and whatever may be the result of
its action, it plainly indicates the drift of
things and settles the point that Tennessee
will soon take rank beside Maryland ard Mis-
souri-a free State by the voluntary action Of
her own citizens. Rev. w. g. BRowNLow
was nominated by the snme Convention for
Governor, and action taken looking to the
election of Senators and Representatives TO
the Legislature at the same time the Conatitu-
tional amendments are voted upon.

Considerable numbers of our officers ana
man have recently escaped from Southern Pris-
ons and succeeded in reaching our lines
Among the arrivals at Knoxville are Messrs.
Brown, Richardson and Davis, newspaper cor
respondents. the two former of whom had
been in captivity nearly two years, the latter
something less than year Mr.. Davis is also
chief Clerk of the Ohio Senate. Their escape
is the more gratifying because of the fact that
while the captured correspondents of Demo-
cratic papers have been promptly released
these gentlemen were held on to by the rebel
authorities with determined pertinacity, and
subjected to intolerable indignities and most
cruel treatment, because of the fact that they
we're correspondents of Union papers. Like
all other escaped Union prisoners they owe
their safe exit from rebeldom to the aid re-
ceived from the negroes, who are always and
under all circumstances true as steel to Union
men who seek their aid when attempting to
effect their escape--no instance being known
in which slave ever proved false to the con
idence thus Ieposed in them.
The Ohio Legislature took a recess from Fri
day to Tuesday in order to afford the members
an opportunity of visiting their families
Nothing of special Importance has occurred in
either branch since they re-assembled. The
bill authorizing townships to raise bounty tt
pay for volunteers by taxation, still drags, aDd
a final vote has not yet been reached.

CoNGREss.-The joint resolution giving no.
tice to the British Government of the termina-
tion of the Canadian Reciprocity Treaty, has
passed both houses by decisive majorities.-
Mr.. Wade introduced joint resolution in the
Senate, which was referred to the Military
Committee, calling upon the President to or
der retaliatory measures to be adopted against
rebel prisoners in our hands as a means of
stopping the barbarities practiced against our
men confined in Southern military prisons
Action has also been taken by the Senate
looking to the termination Of the treaty with
Great Britain by which the extent of the
naval armament each power may keep on the
northern lakes is determined. The House has
postponed for the present the further consid-
GRAFTON of the proposed amendment of the
Constitution abolishiug slavery. Several Dem
ocratic members have taken decided ground
in favor of the measure, including Mr.. Yea
man, of Kentucky, but the mass Of the mem-
bers of that party from the free States contin-
ue firm in their oposition, and it does not there
fore seem probable that the necessary two
thirds majority can be secured On the 18th
Gen. Schenck, from the Military Committee,
reported bill making sundry important
amendments to the enrolment law The first
section makes it the duty of every person to
have himself enrolled at once, and of every boy
on arriving at the age of 20 to do the same.
No one is to be freed from enrolment on ac-
count of physical disability his name must
go on the rolls any way, and the question Of
disability is one which must afterwards be left
to the surgeons. The other most important
change made is to hold any drafted person who
may put in a substitute responsible for the
service of bis substitute. If the substitute de-
sers, then the person originally drafted is call
ed upon again to furnish another substitute, or
to enter the service himself

ws armed with A3eaded and eapped Aus

Aflcr re-embarking the troops, for awhile
the surf became 80 rough that it WAS found
necessary TO stop,and nearly 600 were left on
shore for the night in q rain storm, but
morning found these brave men strongly en-
trenched and awaiting without fear the as
Mult Of the enemy.
About 10 A. N. Il wss discovered chat 10
men of the skirmish line had been left in
front Of Fort Fisher. They were immedi-
atcly called in, and reached the point of de-
imrkation without any molestatfon from the
enemy. One Of them, who had been posted
ON the bank Of Cape Fear river, reported
that in the night two large bargcs loaded
with troops had LEFT the fort.
During the day q deserter from the ID s.
c. cavalry, but more likely sent out with a
lie by the rebels, reported that 6,000 of the
enemy had concentrated on the right flank
and proposed to attack in the night Word
was sent to Admiral Porter and IA gunboats
were sent to intercept this movement The
weather was 80 bad that our troops could
not be re-cmbarked that afternoon or night.
The gunboats shclled on both TANKS of the
troops throughout the night, but there were
no signs Of the enemy near.
The next day, eth, the weather moderated
and all the troops were got on board the
transports, together with the prisoners
Our men showed no signsof the harlships
they had endured, while the prisoners were
entirely broken down and hardly able To
climb the ships sides. Many OF them were
apparently not over 10 years old.
