Capture Of Fort Fisher.

Quite Unexpectedly, and while the
people everywhere were discussing the
probabilities and impossibilities of the
capture of Fort Fisher, news came to
us that the Fort had fallen and was in
possession of the Union troops The
attack was made by the combined for
ces of the army and navy under Ad-
miral Porter and Gen. Terry, and last
ed seven hours. After furious bom-
bardment by the gunboats over LOO
sailors and marines landed and moved
towards the Fort They formed on the
beech in eight lines, and the division
of small gunboats continued throwing
shell at the rebel gunboats, Chicka-
manga and Tallahassee. While the
land forces under Generals Terry and
Curtiss Were preparing for the assault
cannonading was furiously kept up by
all the vessels of the feet.
At 3 O'Clock P. NJ. Admiral Porter
signaled the feet to change it's fire
from the Fort to the water batteries,
and the naval brigade commenced mo-
wing toward the Fort. When they
reached the ditch and abattis the Fort
opened on them with grape, canister
and musketry, and they were shelled
vigorously by the Tallahassee and
Chickamauga. The resistance by the
garrison was so strong that the sailors
were compelled to fall back.
Now was the time for the land for
ces to begin their attack from the OPP
posite direction, and at 81 o'clock the
flags of Gen. Terry's command appear
ed on the rear of the Fort, showing
that the assault there was successful.
The rebels sent reenforcements from
the mound and water batteries and the
struggle steadily continued.
At about % p. NJ. cheering was
heard, which was soon found to pro-
coed from Gen. Terry's men, announc-
ing the occupation of Fort Fisher. The
fighting still continued until the final
surrender of the rebel commander at
III O'Clock, when all was silent. Gen.
Curtiss made hand to hand fight for
the possession of the traverses, until
seven of them were captured, when
the enemy showed the white feather
and the fighting ceased.
Soon after daylight the centre mag
azine of the Fort exploded, caused by
the carelessness Of some negro SOL
diers. About 100 persons We're killed
by the explosion.
About 1900 privates and 100 officers
were taken prisoners. The loss of our
army was $50 killed and wounded, and
the naval brigade lost $50.
1t was believed that the rebel gun
boats Chickamauga and Tallahassee
would be captured or destroyed, and
that Wilmington must soon fall into
the hands of the Federals.
The strongest ratification on the
rebel coast has at length succumbed,
and the last available port for block
ade running is scaled. A most impor-
tant foothold for cooperation with
Sherman has been gained. At the reb-
ell capital dismay has been added to
CONSERVATION. The capture of this
fortress at the present time, constitutes
a vindication of Gen. Grant in reliev-
ing Gen. Butler.
