ERnm WILMINGTON

City Point, Feb. 90 To Hon. f. ~ Stanton,
Secretaryof War: The following paragraphs
are extracts from Richmond papers OF o-day ~
Wilmington, Feb. 10 The enemy shelled
Fort Anderson furiOnsiy yesterday afternoon.
1t is reported that land force also attacked our
forces at Anderson, but were repulsed. Cam
nOnading is still going at one P. N. We
have no particulars.
A dispatch has been received here stating
that a force of the enemy, 1000 strong, 1000
cavalry, are advancing from Knoxville, which
is 81 miles from Bristol. This expedition is
supposed to be another raid on the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad. The telegraph operator at
Weldon reported yesterday that raid from
Washington or Newbern, North Carolina, was in
progress, the supposed destination of the raiders
being Rocky Mount station on the Wilmington
road, in Edgecomb county. The wires contin-
ued to work through yesterday evening to Will
mington, however, from which it would appear
that they have not struck the road.
A movement of the enemy was reported, yes
terday, in heavy force upon Kinston, N. c., and
it was supposed in official quarters that Fosters
forces had been moved up to Newbern.
A cavalry raid was also reported in the di-
rection of Tarboro. The force moving from
Newbern has fifty or sixty pieces of artillery
We shall hear more of these movements in
few days We are quite certain they are in
progress as we write.
Col. Hatch, one of our Commissioners of Ex-
change has gone to Wilmington, at which place
he will, during the next week, exchange 10000
prisoners. We may remark here that eXchang
ing of prisones in the James river will, at the
same time, go on uninterruptedly.
A desperate affair occurred last Tuesday in
Leineberg county between some deserters from
the Confederate army and some of the 9th Vir-
ginia cavalry, aided by citizens. Several on
both sides were wounded. The deserters were
finally captured.

HONOR THE BRAYE.

In the Ohio Senate on the 18th, Mr.. HART of
fered for adoption the following resolution which
was referred to the Committee on Military Af-
fairs:
WHEREAS, Since the breaking out of the rebel
lion, many thousands of soldiers from Ohio
have lost their lives, in defence of the nation,
and while a few have been brought home for
burial, the great majority lie in unknown
graves, and in distant States; and
.WHEREAs, 1t is becoming the people of the
States, whose rights have been defended by
the soldiers valor, TO pay honor and respect to
the memory of the gallant dead; therefore
Resolved, That the Standing Committee on
Military Affairs, of both Houses acting jointly,
be instructed to take into consideration and re-
port TO the General Assembly, at an early day,
plan to secure the setting apart and dedication
ofsuitable grounds within the State, and the
erection of a monument by which to commem-
crate the names and virtues of all soldiers who
have enlisted in the military service from Ohio,
and lost their lives in the war for the Union.

THE wINDING-UP CAMPAIGN.

The campaign which has already been open
ed by Gen. Sherman, in which the armies oper-
ating before Petersburg and Wilmington will
soon take part will be the Iopdinq- -s,p cdn1Ddiqn
of the rebellion. Ii is no secret that great bodies
of troops have been coming up from the West TO
take part in it; and whether they reinforce for
the moment the army of Meade or of Terry or
of Sherman, it is all the same The campaign
is unit; its combinations are made under the
supreme direction of Lieut. Gen Grant; and the
enemy to be fought and defeated and DESTROYED
is the army of Gen. Lee near Richmond Grant S
combinations have always been of very good
kind, both in the West and in the East; and we
believe that his final campaign would be the
grandest of the war
The Richmond papers of Tuesday last show
that the rebels at Richmond are in terror least a
movement on the James accompany the other
movements under way. Lee, we are told by
the Richmond Dispatch, expected an attack on
the north side of the James on Sunday last; and
it was thought that for that day only the mud
saved him. Attacks were also expected else
where on the lines, which the rebels fear are
only temporarily postponed.
With armies of such magnitude as are now
operating against the last rebel army, under
command of such leaders as Grant and Sherman
operating from such admirable positions as we
hold, we expect TO see the windiDg-up cam
paign carried TO a glorious terminatiOn.-N Y

THE JENNINGS ESTATE.

Most of our readers have undoubtedly heard,
at some time or other, that large property in
England, estimated at several million pounds
sterling, known as the jennings estate, has been
claimed by the American heirs. descendants of
the brother and sister of the English Jennings,
the former of which settled in Virginia, and the
latter in New Hampshire. The case has been
in the English Chancery Court for many years,
and the American heirs have spent considerable
sums of money in prosecuting their claim to the
estate, until at last, as we are informed by one
of the heirs, they have obtained judgment in
their favor The estate will bea very handsome
plum to divide, and the heirs will make a res
pectable figure in the list of income taxes when
the revenue officers make their next annual re-
turns-ROstoR Herald.

THE RECONCILIATION or CHARLESTON.
Riahfnnna IL RefriInfinn nf T.isnr


The capture Of Charleston should be the siC
nal for rejoicing all over the North. IL is the
pestiferous ncs, ia which treason and rebellion
were hatched aud deserves the retTibutions of
Sherman and Justice. On The Doth of Decem-
Der, 1860, the rebellion inaugursted by the
secession II South Carolina. At half past four
on the mornings the 18th of April. 1861, the
bOmbardment OF Fort Sumter began, and con-
tinued thuty three hours. The highest excite
ment existed in Charleston, the scene having
been witnessed by-thousaDds of spectatOrs.-
Nearly four years from that memorable day
which created such grand uprising throughout
the North the rebellous head of Charleston is
bowed low IN the dust. The naughty city OF
the fire-eating chivalry that expected to see the
North tamely submit To their insolent aggres-
siOns upon the Republic, has again been brought
under the dominion of the Republic The cit
izens OF Charleston may to-day reflect upon the
scenes witnessed in their streets on the day
when they began their attack upon the Union.
Then cheers ascended from thousands of newly
fledged warriors. Then the old spirit of the
slave lord was rampant and insOlent. They saw
before them easy conquest OF the North
They had learned to despise the Yankees as a
race of thieving huckstering peddlers in whom
all manhood and valor had died out They
imagined our twenty millions of people curling
like whipped dogs at the feet of their masters.
All these things are changed. -Four years OF
devastating war have cowed their insolent spir-
its. Death has moved down the white popu-
lation of the South by tens of thousands. Their
country is in possession of the North. Their
currency is worthless rags. They look in vain
for help to their black population. Slavery, for
which they rebelled, is entirely gone. Moth
ing but general ruin and devastation await them
on all sides.
In all this there is a righteous retribution of
heaven. 1t is the eternal fitness of things"
that the source whence treason and the infamous
doctrine of State rights emanated should be
again brought under the dominion of the stripes
and stars. All hall the immortal valor of her
sons that have won the victory. Charleston
never again will pass from under the rule of
the Republic Let the people rejoice and take
new hope from this magnificent triumph

Gle Sam after all--at least they give him prefer
ence over jeff. Davis. The majority, so far, de-
clined to be enrolled for a return TO the rebel
service; for in making an enrolment of SOC
for exchange, Gen. Sweet found that 1900 re-
fused the privilege offered them. Under orders
from President Lincoln, los prisoners have been
released in February. There were l0,248 in

Arrest of a Rebel Spy in wonran's Apparel.

The Cleveland Herald announces the capture
of a rebel spy in that city. On Saturday morn
ing, two young women, apparently about nine
teen OF twenty years old, called at the rooms of
the Soldiers Aid Society and applied for trans
portatiOn to Washington. One of them giving
the name of Charlotte Anderson, said she had en-
listed two or three times in the army, but had
been rejected on her sex being discovered As
they turned TO leave one of the ladies in the
room became suspicious that "Charlotte" was a
man. and sent UP stairs TO the Provost Marshal,
by whose order charlotte" and her companion
were Immediately arrested. Charlie, alias "LOt-
tie" Anderson, is very feminine in appearance,
and has a soft and low feminine voice whenev-
er he chooses To use it. When dressed as a man,
he has the appearance of girl in disguise, and
when dressed in tasteful female attire it is diff
cult to doubt the femininity. His accomplish
ments are varied. He is dead shot with pis-
tol, splendid horseman, can talk three languages
fluently can dance admirably, play the piano,
do fine sewing, embroider knit and crochet
equal to any women. There are facts that 90 to
show he is a rebel spy.
