REBEL ATTACK AT CITY P0IRT-REBs REpULsED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Star says
Dispatches received state that yesterday, at
A. NJ. rebel feet of vessels, the Rich
mond squadron so long being prepared, come
down the river to destroy our depots and
stores OF City Point. The high water caused
by the freshets enabled them to pass the OBJ
struetions which our commanders had placed
above City Point for the better protection Of
the place. A battle quickly eUsued between
our nearest battery or fort, in which one of the
rebel vessels was blown up and entirely de-
stroyed, while two others were so badly dam
aged by shot and she'll as to compel them to
seek safety by fight back in the direction oi
Richmond, accompanied By the the other two
which escaped damage TO speak of.
Admiral Farragut left here yesterday even
ing for the scene of this action. and it is un-
derstood that ne will at once assume the naval
command there.

PEACE MOVEMENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA.

NORFOLK, Jan. l6.-The Raleigh Whig, o.
the 18th instant, comes out editOrially in favor
of reconstruction. That this may be effected,
a convention of the States and an armistiee
one recommended.
The intestine difficulties OF the Confeder-
acy are becoming positively alarming. Pro-
perty Of no kind is secure, and gueriIlps and
bandits roam at will throughout the wh ole in
terror. The deserters who formerly sought re-
fuge in the mountains in the western part of
North Carolina, have become embollened nj
their great increase in numbers, and attack and
overpower the guards left to protect the peo-
pie.
The North Carolina militia have mostly
laid down their arms, and are scattering them
selves throughout the State.
On the 10th instant, resolutions were in
troduced into the North Carolina Legisla-
ture recommending that delegation be ap-
pointed from that body which should rep resent
all parts of the State, for the purpose Of pro-
ceediDg TO Washington to secure terrns of
peace The resolutions were ordered. TO be !

"Men are asking one another, is there no

ANTICIPATED FALL OF WlLMINGToH-RERELS IN
A 0UANDARY.

The Richmond Enquirer of the 2Otb, says
the reticence Of the rebel War Department
concerning events current in the South, indi-
Gates the fact that important movements are
in progress. If Wilmington falls, there will
be no panic, though much sorrow for the in
habitants- The idea that there is an immense
amount of cotton stored there is one attractive
influence, TO say nothing Of that port as base
which is now uluring the invaders toward ii.
There is a combination in the matter which
involves Charleston as well :; and Sherman is
on foot in that matter If these places fall, it
will be after the exhibition of much strategy ;
for Sherman is always at it, and we hope our
army is also. Sherman's feints are in fact
realities; for while aiming at various places,
meaning to take oil, it hardly matters with
him which he takes first.

AFFAIRS NOT SATISFACTORY 70 THE REBELS.

New YoRK, Jan. 1.-THE steamer Star of
the South, from Port Royal Oh the I4lh has
arrived. The New South contains an edito,
rial from the Charleston Mercury of the 18th,
which says:
The condition of this military department
Georgia and South Carolina-is anything but
satisfactory to our citizens, and to none less SO
than 10 the General commanding the depart
ment.
His department has bse0 newly turned in
to bis hands, and many of the troops are new
TO him and to the department. They came
to him under the command of imbeciles. He
bas received them herd of stragglers and
outlaws. What has been done to eradicate
this evil we shall not stop to inquire The
time has been too short to do much, and the
forces have been very much scattered, but
the very last moments are arriving when all
must be done that is to be done-when all
must be done that can be done.
The enemy does not intend TO wait upon
our leisure, and there is much TO do. The
path we are now travelling is straight to de-
struction. The crisis of the CoDlederacy has
arrived in fatal earnest. The result of the
next six months will bring the Confederacy to
the ground or viii reinstate its power. With
out q reform we are doomed There must be
no more JEFF. Davis foolery, but brain and
nerve reform, shooting, cashiering, order,

In regard to the state of affairs in Alabama

He is cripple, and hence escaped the vigil

privileges which an abe-bodied man could not
have taken. He says that although peace re-
solutions have been voted down twice in The
State Legislature, they will soon again be ill.,

that there is strong hope that they will be sue

occurred in gen'. Hospital No at Murfrees-

all with whom he associated. He was buried
Dec. 12th in The soldiers burrying ground
with military honors.
An incident occurred on the morning Of the
7th just before starting, worthy Of notice, but
which I thought little about, until after the
battle was over, and heard that he was woun-

Samuel Freeborn deserted from the 20th
New York Cavalry, while on duty at Nor
folk, and he induced woman named Linden
to conceal him. AS she was going to Balti-
more, he prevailed upon her to let him gel
into her immense travelling trunk, and thus
make the voyage. He bored hole in the
trunk to afford him air, but it did not prove
sufficient, and the poor wretch suffocated. On
arriving at Baltimore, Dauseous smell issued
from the trunk, which caused it to be opened.
The corpse was discovered, aud the woman
then made the above explanation.
