WASHINGTON, January II, 1856

WASHINGTON, January II, 1865.
Major General John A. DiS, NeU York:
The Richmond Wing, OF this morning, con-
tains the following account Of the capture of
Fort Fisher by the naval and land forces Of tn Q
United States:
Fall of Fort Fisher.
The Hnwelcome news OF the fall of Fort
Fisher, commanding the entrance to Cape
rear river, was received this morning, and
occasioned IN this community q sensation of
profound regret. the capture of this fort is
equivalent to the closure of the harbor Of Will
mington by the enemy's fleet. 1t is situated
about eighteen miles below the city, but was
the main defence to the entrance to the river,
and its fall, therefore, Will prevent in future
the arrival or departure of blockade runners.
How far this reverse may prove injurious to
ouT cause remains to kA SEEM but at present
we regard it rather an unfortunate than disas-
trous event
The following is the official report:
HEADERS NORTHERN VIRGINIA, Jan. 16 -
Hon. j. A. Seldom Genera Bragg reports that
the enemy bombarded FotsE Fisher furiously all
day yesterday. At p. M, their infantry ad-
vanced to the assault. heavy demonstration
at the same hour being made against their rear
by our troops. At630 p. m. GenI Whiting re-
ported that their attack had failed and the gar
rison was being streng thened with fresh troops.
About 10 p. m. the fort was captured with most
of its garrison. No further particulars at this
time known. E. LEE
No dispatches have been recei we'd from Gen,
Terry since that of Sunday night announcing
the result of the assault. Ca DANA,

IMPORTANT FROM RICHMOND,
DESTRUCTION OF THE DANyILLE ROAD.
EE's SUPPLIES CUT eff.
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN RICHMOND FORE
SHADOWED

Correspondence of the Associated Press]
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Jan. 16-Evening.-A number of deserters
came into the lines from in front Of Peters burg
last night. They bring important news, if it is
to be relied on.
They say that the Danville railroad between
Danville and Greensboro, a distance of forty.
five miles, has been destroyed by the recent
heavy rains. and every culvert and bridge has
been carried away, and that Les's army is
likely to be out Of rations altogether very
soon.
The quantity they issue now is utterly mad
equate, they say, to satisfy their wants; and
these men were not disposed to remain and
suffer almost star walton.
Every effort is being made to reconstruct the
road, and large gangs of men are detailed for
tnat purpose; but even at that 1t W i'll take some
time TO repair 1t, the destruction being so ex.
fensiye. AS this is their main road by which
they get their supplies to Richmond, it would
not be strange if the state Of affairs in this
neighborhood should undergo an important
change within few days.
The enemy made a demonstration with a
Small force on our rear line on the WYATT farm.
near the extreme left, this afternoon, and for a
short time 1t was thought fight was about to
take place. A part Of the I'd corps were nut
under arms, but the rebels remained in sight
short time, evidently having come to that
particular place after some forage which it is
believed they carried off. No firing took place,
as they did not come within range of our
Pickets. W. ID. MCGRRGoR.
