FORT FISHER 4 EIE'n THE BON

The editor Of the Wilmington oo,trj,at,
who visited Fort Fisher after the bonn
bardment by The Yankee fleet, gives a
description OF It's appearance after the
terrific fire it had been subjected to. lie
says Of it:
"Wit!.in stones throw CT the fort, on
the side Of the road leading iroin the
landing, IN n s:na!i hole something Of the
length, and shape of coffin, and few
feet from it, is an humble dgc of earth
mari ked by q piece Of board at each end
The hole is a liiie-pit dug by one OF foar
Or five ente.prisnS Yankee sharpshoot-
crs who ventured Up t!,at near to the
fort with the view Of picking off our gun
ners. The ridge OF earth marks the
grave Of a courier, member Of Faison's
company Of scouts, who was shot from
his horse by the occupant of the rifle
pit All of this party of Yankees were
either killed or crptured.
1.-The fort itself shows more plainly
the marks of the cnemy's fire. Deep
holes are dug in the rarapets, and many
On entering at the upper end, we found
the soldiers at work repairing their
wooden quarters, which had been dread
fully shattered by the shell, but not
burned. Farther on, brick chimneys in
some places, and blackcncd ashes in
others, alone marked where different
wooden structures had stood. Full ten
days have elapsed since the lombard
| ment closed, and no doubt many Of the
most striking evidences of it's fury had
been etfaced. The shot and shell, which
at one time was plcntifully strewn over
the whole ground in the interior Of the
fort, had been gathered up, and the pa
rade appeared as level as formerly. The
outside and top of the ranparts, and, in
many places, of the traverses, looked as
though rooted by a gigantic hog; none
Of this roofing, however, seemed to do
moro than r0Gghen the surface. The
great masses of the fort everywhere re-
mained perfectly intact. Only two guns
were dismounted by the enemy's bonn
bardment. Two more were dismounted
by their own rccol. The Brooke gun,
which burst, presents remarkable evi-
dence Of the explosive power Of gun
powder. The heavy mass Of the gun
proper, with the powerful wrought iron
bands near it, ell rent and torn and
strewn around, give some idea of that
terrible explosion, by which nine men
were wounded, although but one was
killed outright.
"Fors Fisher is much changed, en-
largcd and strengthened since the occa.
sion of our former visit to that work.
We felt some curiosity to ascertain how
the case1natcd battery, Or batteries, had
stood the ordeal Of fire, but found that
there were no such batteries remaining
the embrasurcs being closed and the
guns removed. The classmates were
used during the fight for quarters for the
wounded and for various official pur-
poses. 1t seems that the casemated bat
teries were not popular. Their range
was limited, and the embrasures woul(
not stand the jar occasioned by the firing
of our own guns, to say nothing of tn
projectiles Of the enemy"

CONFEDERATE SUIcIDEs.-The Southerners went
into the with the most unbounded confidence
of success, and their disappointment at the
suit being so entirely contrary to their anticipa-
ton, must have been terrible. letter written
by Federal officer from Georgia, last Summer,
stated that many people in that State had died,
and others had become insane, from modification
and chagrin at the idea of being compelled to
submit to the Governments Judge Ruin, of
Virginia, who fired the first gun on Sumter, COM
mitted suicide from the cause, and probably
many others have done the same, the particulars
of which have never been published. Not long
since party of Federal cavalry, in Texas, found
the body of a rebel officer who had committed
suicide. Near it was piece of paper with the
following writing :-' The fall of my country
breaks my heart. Heart broken, among stran-
gers, beggar, now without home, want to
die. This robbed of my fortune, and
now have no fortune, friends or country-noth-
ing to live for" There was no signature, and
the insignia of rank had been torn from the COL
lar but the uniform that of field general
officer.

Gen. LOGAN TO HIS SoLDIERs.-A few weeks
ago at review of Illinois troops al Camp Butler,

Egyptians, and among other things said 90 He
advised them to form combinations with those
scoundrels in that section of the State who, for
the past four years, had been keeping up fire in
the rear; that while the brave soldiers from our
own State had been fighting treason South these
home rebels had been trying to uproot and tear
down the great national structure at home. He
could, upon long probation-and a long one it
must be, too-forgive common rebels who had
fought bravely in a bad cause but as to those
Northern traitors he could not forget or forgive
them. and doubted if the loyal and true soldiers
of Illinois would. y

Some Day.

q Some day is the burden of many son!
ats never done in rythm. Florence Percy ha
us given one of them:
You smooth the tangles from my hair
With gentle touch and tender care,
And count the years ere you shall mark,
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say,
''You'll think of this again some day,
Some day!''
do not scorn the power of Time.
Nor count on years of iadeless prime,
But white CLEANS will shine
Among those heavy locks of mine
Aye, laugh as gaily you may,
!" You'll think of this again some day,
Some day!'
Some day shall not feel now,
Your soft hands about my brow
shall not slight your light commands,
And draw the long braids through my hands,
shall be silent and obey
And you-will not laugh that day
Some day!
know how long your loving hands
VIII finger with those glossy bands,
When you shall my last. last crown
OF these thick hraidiugs long and brown;
But you will see touch of gray
Adown their shiny length that day
Some day!
And while your tears falling hot
Upon the lids which answer not,
You'll take from those one treasured tress,
And leave the rest in silentless-
Remembering that used to say,
You'll think of this again some day:
Some day.'

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERs.-It was judicious
resolution Of father, as we'll as a most pleasing
compliment to his wife, when, on being asked by

replied 90 | intend to apprentice them to their
mother that they may learn the art of improving
time, and be fitted to become, like her. wives,
mothers, heads Of families, and useful members
of society" Equally just, but bitterly painful,
the remark of the unhappy husband of q
vain, thoughtless, dressy slattern 80 1t is hard
to say it, but if my girls are to have chance of
growing up good for anything, they must be sent
out of the way of their mothers example"

time to deliver bag of mail matter by the 4th

Bridger the sayagcs made an attack on his train,

remaining six were doubled up, and the conse-
