Capture Of Wilmington.

The following official report of the
capture Of Wilmington has been for
warded to the War Department by
Gen. Grant:
Gen. IT, S. Grant, Cav Point:
Our troops entered Wilmington on
the morning of the 22d. After the
evacuation of Fort Anderson, General
Schofield directed Gen Cox to follow
its garrison towards Wilmington,
while Gen. Terry followed Hoke on
the east side of the river. The latter
took up new line four miles from
Wilmington, but was so holly pursued
by Terry that he could send no troops
to the west side. On that side the
rebels made stand on Town Creek,
but on the Goth Gen. Cox crossed his
troops below them Oh hatboats, at
tackled them in the rear, and routed
them, taking two guns and 800 pris-
oners. On the 2lst inst, Gen. Cox
pushed to Brunswick river, opposite
Wilmington, where bridges were on
fire. On his arrival, the rebels began
burning cotton and rosin in the city,
and left it that night. Our captures,
including Fort Anderson, amount to
about 100 prisoners and 80 guns.
Citizens stated that the rebels burned
1000 bales of cotton, and $4,000 bar
rels of rosin. The Union feeling show
ed itself quite strongly in the city.
Gen. Terry has followed Hoke north
ward.

Capture of Fort Anderson.

Gen. Schoiield has made the follow.
ing official report of the capture OF
Fort Anderson: e
To Lieut.. Gen. Grant:
GENERAL II have the honor to re.
port the success of our operations
against Fort Anderson and adjacent
works on both sides of Cape Fear riv.
er.. Yesterday, while the guns of the
feet maintained heavy fire on Fort
Anderson, l pressed the enemy on
both sides of the river, and sent a force
under General Cox, about sixteen miles
around swamp to turn the enemy's
right. This force made its way along
a narrow dcfile between two swamps,
and completely turned the enemy's
position. As soon as the movement
became known to the enemy, he aban-
doned his works and retreated towards
Wilmington. We captured ten guns
uninjured, and considerable amount
of ammunition. We have about fifty
prisoners. The loss in killed or woun.
ded is small on either side. The men
are pushing the enemy and the gun
boats are moving up the river. Fort
Anderson and its collateral works
are very strong, and rendered almost
inaccessible by swamps. A small force
could have held them till it's supplies
were exhausted. My information is
that the rebels have line of defence
behind Town creek, where they pro-
pose to make a stand. If so, it can
probably only be a short time.
! am, General, very respectfully,
Your obcdient servant,

Mother and Child Drowned.
c. B. COMSTOCK,
Brevet Brigadier Genera

A few days since, Mrs. Ashburn and
child of Tazewell county, ILL.,, lost
their lives in the following manner
Her youngest child, eighteen months
old, while at play fell in the cistern.
Mrs. Ashburn tied rope around her
waist and went down to rescue the
child but was unable to get out. Her
two children, aged four and six years,
at her request threw down a chair, a
churn and plank, but were too young
to go for assistance and the unfortu-
nate woman and child were both
drowned. The mother had placed the
body of the babe in the churn, think
ing probably it would be safe, and
then, exhausted by her efforts, sank
below the surface of the water. When
her husband came home the two chill
dren told him the baby was in the cis-
tern. Drawing up the rope, he found
the dead bodies of his wife and child.

Capture Of Wilmington.

A despatch from Fortress Monroe,
says: 1.-THE United States gunboat X.
r. Cuyler has arrived from Fort Fish
er with news of the evacuation OF
Wilmington, on the night of the 2lst.
Maj. Gen. Terry entered and took pos
session of the city at 9 A. N. of the 22d,
capturing a large amount of stores of
all kinds which the rebels in their
haste neglected to destroy" 1t is said
that military men in Washington re-
gard the capture of Wilmington as a
first-class military triumph. It insures
the success Of the plans against Rich
mond. Sherman has now a new base,
and can move forward without wait
ing or turning back for supplies.
Thus it is that victory follows victo-
ry in rapid succession. Wilmington,
the great rebel stronghold of North
Carolina, and the last of the enemy's
strong positions on the Atlantic coast,
is in the possession Of the National
forces. As at Savannah and Charles
ton, SO at Wilmington, the rebels, una
bic to defend the place, were forced to
abandon it, and our forces marched in
and took possession. The capture of
Fort Fisher and Fort Anderson, it's
main defenses, insured the speedy cap
ture Of the city.
Surely it must be that the war is
drawing to close, the empty buster
of the rebel press to the contrary not
outstanding. If the insurgents are
unable to defend and hold such impor-
tant positions as those of Charleston
and Wilmington, they must be weak in
deed, and able to cope but a little
longer with the armies Of the Repub-
lie, which are moving forward, con-
quering and to conquer. The aban-
donment of those cities without any at
tempt to hold them against our ap-
preaching forces, is confession of
weakness that all the Wanting pre-
tense of jeff. Davis and his newspa-
per organs cannot overcome. Words
are weaker than acts The rebels con-
tinue full of brave words, but their
acts of weakness and cowardice belle
them all. They are driven to the wall
and must succumb at an early day.
Savannah, Charleston and Whining
ton occupied by the Union forces /! 1t
is difficult to appreciate the grand
fact in all its glorious Importance and
the achievements have
been so rapid, startling and magnif-
cent.

Lacrosse in the evening, and wishing
to secure berths in the sleeping car for
Milwaukee, Messrs. Temple and Gror-
ty started for the depot ahead of the

The Stars and Stripes once more proudly
wave over the impaired battlements of Fort
Sumter. The boasted stronghold of South
Carolina is in our possession. The hot-bed of
treason is trampled by the Army of Freedom,
and our brave soldiers under Sherman hold
undisputed sway over the famous city Of
Charleston! Let us all rejoice at the good
news. One by one the cities of Georgia and
South Carolina have felt the keen blade of
Gen. Sherman's resistless scyth and fallen at
his feet like the ripened grain, until now
Charleston has been reached and yields as
readily as the rest of them. At the time our
forces took possession of Charleston q terrific
confagration was in progress, caused by the
explosion of the Wilmington Depot. which
the rebels had set on fire. Many lives were
lost Our men were Immediately put to work
to assist in subduing the flames Two-thirds
of the city, it was supposed. would be destroy
ed. The rebels left two hundred guns which
they spiked. Verify the Confederacy is tot
tering.

Charleston.

The city which fired the first shot
against the Flag of the Union F; which
for thirty years before had unre-
mittingly toiled to mature the con-
spiracy that the gun against Sumpter
proclaimed to the world which stood
at once as the representative of the
idea and of the military strength Of
the Rebellion from which proceeded
the vital force that has kept these pes.
tilent agencies of civil war in motion,
and on the defence of which was Law.
ished the best military genius the
South could supply ; the city whose
permanence under the Confederate
flag has been the continuing evidence
to Europe of the vitality of the Con-
federacy and the unfailing resolution
of its supporters ; the city which has
for four years repealed every assault
the Union could deliver against it
this city has fallen at last, Fallen,
not because its walls were weaker, or
it's harbor less impregnably protected,
or the spirit of its people less implaca-
bly, inimical to the Union they con-
spired to destroy but fallen because
the Rebellion was falling because
the great States that had formed them
selves into an insurgent Confederacy
were riven asunder because there
was no longer a country behind the
city; because Charleston stood now
for itself alone, and could become only
the unvalued spoil of an army march
ing past it instead of the coveted tro-
ply of great force spending its
strength to compass the possession of
fortified stronghold. The confess
sion of its conquest is voice of doom
to every city over which the rebel flag
floats. Not too much has been said of
the moral effect of its fall. For what
is this moral influence but that which
determines or modifies the whole pur-
pose of doubling people? To-day
the South stands irresolute, confronted
on every hand by the accommodating
evidences of its weakness, and of its
utter inability much longer to oppose
the armies of the Union. Its people
have been taught to cling with fond
ness to few names as symbols Of
their hopes and representatives Of
their disloyal cause, and to augur Of
victory or defeat as these were upheld
or suffered to fall. One of them VAN
ishes, soon to be followed by the only
other that is more indissolubly blend
ed with the existence Of the Confeder-
acy. Who doubts the effect, the dis
enlargement, the augmenting convic-
ton among the people Of the South
that their cause is lost and the Union
is saved?

From Richmond.

When the news of Sherman's sue
cesses became generally known in the
rebel army around Petersburg and
Richmond, it caused feeling of uni.
versal depression. The privates mike
no secret of their intention to desert,
and Lee has placed heavy guard in
his rear to prevent them going back to
their homes. They confirm the state.
ment, made few nights since, that
the siege guns have been removed
from Petersburg and carried to some
point in the rear of that city. Rebel
officers openly express their opinion
that nothing can stop Shermhn's ad.
vance, and hence the privates desert
by scores.
The New York HeralTs Army of the
Potomac correspondent says "Unu-
sual movements and activity have
been observed i'm the rebel lines around
Richmond during the past few days,
indicating designs of some new enter
prise on the part of General Lee, and
it is surmised that, alarmed by the pro-
gress of Sherman's and the other ma
tional forces, he has concluded that the
time for giving up both Richmond and
Petersburg, and falling back to Lynch
burg or some other defensible position,
has at last arrived. General A. p.
Hills corps, of his army, is said to
have been under orders since Thurs
day to be prepared to march at a mo-
ment's notice, and considerable COM
motion within the rebel lines was dis
played yesterday. There are also ru-
mors that Lee meditates an attack on
Grant. All these matters, taken in
connection with the fact that the rebel
journals have received orders from the
authorities to he particularly reticent
regarding military affairs, gives color
to the belief that something more than
ordinary is in process Of execution
within their lines. 1t is the opinion of
veteran officers, at the front, that they
are about to evacuate Petersburg, and
fall back across the Appomattox.
