vessels in the service, and q magnificent spec
taele Of old wooden walls, with their ponderous
armame nts.
At twenty minutes to ) o'clock these two
immense divisions, carrying 3l2 guns, in ad-
dition to the Iren-clads, joined in the canoon-
ade. The number of shots fred while the
great bombardment lasted-one hour and half.
closing at ten minutes past o'clock,--could
not have been less than four per second. Ihave
no doubt that up to the withdrawal of the
wooden walls this evening, not less than 25000
sh. lis were fred into Fort Fisher
Alter the genearl bombardmen commenced,
but one shot was fred by the fort in return
Consequently none of the wooden vessels were
injured The lronsides and monitors did not
withdraw when she signal was given for the
wooden walls TO eeass firing, but kept at work
throughout the night throwing one shell every
ten minutes into the fort to prevent the repair
ing Of damages by the garrison.
Tonight the troops have advanced up to
within about mile aud half effort Fisher,
their camp fres extending down the beach for
more than q mile.
An order has been received from the Admiral,
1t being found impossible TO bring our division
into the fight, the room being too contracted to
proceed in shore to cover the eneampments Of

SECRETARY STANTos.-In order to carry
through the present copperhead game OF get
ting into power by fatte-ing the President uu-
til they can lure him back to their party, it is
necessary to have some scape goat upon whom
they can cast what they claim to be the sins OF

man selected for this position. Search
the copperhead papers through at the
present time. ard nothing but the gentlest
words, and ofttimes high praise, will be found
respecting Mr.. johnson, while scattered all
through their columns is seen the grossest at
tacks upon Secretary Stanton. All this is
highly complimentary to Mr.. Stanton, since II
is an admission that they consider him so iD.
corruptible as 10 preclude any hopes Of sue
cesa in attempting to seduce him from The
Union ranks, and we doubt not that Mr.
johnson will ere long forcibly resent the in
