MOCK MONITOR.
WARRINGTON, Feb. %.
The Navy Department to-day received
information that Lieutenant VIM. B.
Cushing constructed mock monitor, SO
closely resembling one of those vessels
that it could not be detected at 100 yards
distance. On Saturday night about ten
o'clock, this vessel was taken up within
about 400 yards of the fort and set adrift,
as there was strong food. She moved
up the river and passed the fort, as if under
slow steam at the time. 90
The army had worked about one-third
of the distance around and in the rear of
the fort the rebels no doubt thinking
their communication was cut off by land
and water, hastily escaped by the only
avenue open to them, leaving their guns
unspiked and their magazines uninjured.

"Pesce and good Will to all Nations, but

CAPTURE OF FORT ANDERSON.
NEW YoHK, Feb. %.
The Tribune has particulars Of the cap
ture Of Fort Anderson on Friday. Gen.
eral schoAeld advanced the 2Sd corps from
5mithville toward Wilmington to point
threatening the fort. Our gunbOsts at the
same time orened fire. The bombardment
ceased at night, and resumed during Sat-
urday. On Sunday morning the fort was
found evacuated.
Colonel Moore, commanding the I'd
Brigade, I'd Division, had invested thefOrt
on Saturday evening, and was the first to
discover the action, and take possession
with his main force.
General SchoAeld's corps under COM
msnd of General Cox, had passed around
and beyond on the road leading circuit
from SmithviIle to Wilmington. As soon
as the surrender was discovered at general
headquarters across the river, he ordered
an immediate advance of the lines. When
it was discovered that the skirmishers had
left his front, his troops were pushed vigor-
ously forward, but having no cavalry it is
not yet sscertained how far Hoke is in sd-
vance.
In the fort we're IL guns of heavy ealibrs
and a considerable quantity of ammuni-
tion. The enemy only took off five guns,
two Whitworth. Noguns in the
fort were spiked.
The gunboats will now push on TO vii
unless some new obstruetions
develope themselves.
Deserters just in say that they wer
part of the garrison of 5000 troops, and
that they commenced to evscuste about
two o'clock in tie morning. .s
