Fall OF Fort Fisher.

For some short time back we have
met with reverses to our arms, at va
rious points, the last of which, is the
fall of Fort Fisher.
We had supposed from the success
full resistance SO lately made by the
garrison of the Fort that it could not
be taken. Nevertheless it has fallen.
While it is natural that our people
should regret the failure to win sue
cess at all points, yet the present
is not a time for feeling Respondent
or giving expression to such a feeling.
No obstacle was ever overcome by sit
ting down and folding the hands,
Difficulties must be met to be over
come.
United, persistent, determined ef-
forts such as we have, heretofore made
will clear the Confederate sky Of every
threatening cloud and the sun Of our
prosperity will shine all the more bright
ly. Let us to work then with a
will and obliterate gloom and despon-
dency from our thoughts for ever.

StOneWall Brigade.

One Of our Richmond contemporaries
has called attention, on two seperate
occasions, to the wants of our noble
"Stone wall Brigade"
They are in need Of clothes to keep
them warm. They do not complain
but we understand they suffer for
many comforts. The men composing
this Brigade are from our own midst
our own friends and relatives-and
can be supplied with many things
needful to them by us. If our people
will but make the effort it need not be
more than very few days before these
gallant men, who participated in the
glory and will share the fame of the
immortal Jackson, may be made COM
Portable for the winter. Let our ladies
undertake this matter and we are satis-
fed our poor boys will not suffer long.
TO keep the soldiers from our midst
comfortable while hazarding all for us
is clearly an imperative duty, and It's
faithful performance should not be de-
layed day.

IL We are informed that, owing
to the difficulty OF distributing the
dinner prepared for Gen. Early's army,
the Staunton Artillery failed to get
anything. mas much as the dinner
for the army of the Valley originated
in all effort making to prepare one for
the artillery, and as they received no
share of the army dinner, we make the
suggestion to our readers that in lieu
of the dinner promised them the peo-
pie Of our town and county prepare a
supper for Capt CARRIERS Battery
This should and can easily be done.
Their gallant and efficient services du-
ring the war merit the best possible
treatment at our hands. We ask then
that the matter may be taken in hand
by our people and slendid supper be
prep AIRED for them.

Mr.. Editor.
Allow me, through the columns of your
paper, in behalf of several of the members
Of the Staunton Artillery" to return our
sincere thanks to Mrs. Col. W. Fl. Hartman
for several pairs Of socks, knit by herself,
and presented to us through 1t. M. G..
CARRIER. Such substantial Testimonials of
Remembrance by the fair ones for whom
we have been battling for near four years
emblazons their names upon the tablets of
our memory, undoubtedly cheers our souls,
warmes our hearts, and nerves our al ms
''EFor deeds more great in their defence.
At the same time Mr.. Editor allow me
to thank you for the commemorate d1iiscre-
ton exercised in reference to the commu-
nication sent by myself to you for publica-
ton. Upon calm and mature reflection,
[ confess it was premature and unjust, and
regret exceedingly even the harsh thoughts
INDUCED in ignorance of the real facts, and
the impulse of the mement are pa'liating
circumstances for the indiscretion. Once
more we sincerity thank our friends and
the citizens of Staunton and the County
for their kindly efforts and liberal contri-
buttons for our benefit, though we received
it not.

The lines below Richmond and Pc

together with number Of negro troops.
It is expected that as soon as the enemy
completes his arrangements, combined
land and naval attack will be made on
Charleston-the land attack from the d.
rection Of Savannah.
The negroes taken by Sherman are leav~

met one crowd, numbering at least loO0,
on their return to their homes, their treat
ment having been so different from what
Was PROMISED.
Our informant also states that large
number Of negro children were either jos
tied into the river by the treacherous Yam
KEGS, or thrown in by their deluded moth
ers, their captors having told them they
could not take them along:

TINHE undersigned propose to publish daily pa
Il per, under the title of the ''RlCHMOND
HERALD, on or about the 18th of January next.
II will be entirely Independent in politics, but

selves that Whea they shall appear. they Will be
found to constitute such array OF talent as can
not he excelled on this continent.
The well known character OF the individual
whose name appears below a. stenographc
porter, furnishes, we presume, a guarantee that
in all that relates to important political speeches
and debates whether i'll legislative assemblies or
out of them, the ''H HERALD" will present advan-
tages certainly not to be exceed by any paper in
the COnfederacy.
The farming interests will be faithfully vindica-
ted and care taken to disseminate the earliest in
tei!lgcnce which proper regard for the welfare Of
that great element OF national wealth and power
shall demand.
