The following is the official report
Of the capture Of Wilmington:
Our troops entered Wilmington on
the morning of the 22d.
After the evacuation of Fort Ander-
son, Gen, Seho6eld directed Gen. Cox
to follow its garrison toward Whining
ton, while Gen. Terry followed Hoke
on the cas-. side Of the river. the lat.
ter took up new line four miles from
Wilmington. but vas ho.ly pressed by
Terry, so the. they could send no troops
to the west side. On that side the re-
bells made a stand behind Clear Greek,
but on the Goth Cox crossed his troops
below them on tlat boats, attacked them
in tho rear, and routed them, taking
two guns and 800 prisoners.
On the 2lst. Cox pushed to Bruins
wick ,on the river opposite Wilmington
where the bridges we're on fire.
On his arrival the rebels began burn
ing the cotton and rosin. in the city
and left it ,hat'nigh,.
Our captures. including Fort Ander
son. amount to about 700 prisoners ant
thirty guns.
The citizens stated that the rebel
burned 1000 bales Of cotton and 5000
barrels of rosin.
The Union feeling showed itself quit
strong in the city.
Gen. Terry followed HOke north

Woman's Rights.

For some reason we have not heard
Is much "noise and confusion on the
subject Of "woman's rights" since the
war commenced as previous to that
time. Perhaps our fair sisters would
just as leave not haye the rights Of the
stesner sex at the present time. and be
called upon to volunteer or be subject
10 the draft. We thought, as We saw
the anxiety of some Of our citizens in
reference to the recent draft, that our
fair readers were happily exempt from
any personal fears in the matter. We
think women have many rights, and
ought 10 have some which are denied
them; but We incline to the opinien
that fighting is not one of them.
But these reflections naturally sug.
gest others. Ii our mothers, sisters
and wives are to be exempted fro m the
duties of military life, and others for
which they are unsuited. how far can
they. cs ought they 10 be placed on an
equality with the stronger sex? If
they ought not to shoulder arms, ought
they to be burdened with civil duties
And if they are exempted from shoot
ing bullets a. the enemies of the couu-
try. ought they to cast ballots on cleo
ton days?
How far should woman's rights be
ex'euded I? Where shall the line of de-
markation between the sexes be drawn?
and how much can be added to the pre-
+ sent franchises of woman?
We incline to think that We shall
hear less noise on this subject during
ths war than formerly. Tie thousands
who are called to the field in defense oI
the country canno; share the danger
with the fairer and frazier sex, and the
latter, though 'ministering angel to
the sick and wounded, feel there is a
difference ir the lot of the sexes; and
this reflection will tend TO quiet the de.
mand for equality; for equality cannot
exis; in the nature OF things. In some
respects woman must excel. in other:
