From Fort FIsher-NegrOes I'm
SlleITnan's Lines.

New York, January 2S.-The Herald's
Cape Fear river correspondent gives details
of the important success there of our army
and navy. Besides all the guns and ammu-
milton captured in the forts, immense sup
plies of rebel provisions were also secured,
and much other property of great value.
The rebel troops In front of General Terry
made slight demonstration on last Mon
day, but it amounted to nothing. Deserters
report that two rebel divisions from Lees
army at Richmond, recently passed through
Wilmington on their way to South Caro-
lima.
Gen. Terry's army is in fine condition,
and is being rapidly prepared for further
operations.
Admiral Porter's gunboats were gradu-
ally working their way up towards Will
mington.
Deserters continually report that the
rebels are evacuating Richmond. Whether
this be correct or not, it is generally under
stood that much of the rebel machinery for
the manufacture of war material, and con-
siderable of the Government archives, have
been removed from there.
Gen. Sherman has issued an order in ref
erence to the negroes within the lines of his
army. The young and able-bodied men are
to be encouraged to enlist in the military
service, and the South Carolina Sea Islands,
and the abandoned rice and cotton fields
on portions of the Florida and South Caro-
lima coasts, are to be set apart for the settle
ment of the old men, women and children.
Gen. Rufus Saxton has been appointed to
superintend their location on these lands.
All the rebel distractions have been re-
moved from the main channel to Savannah
harbor, and it is now open to navigation.
A Charleston correspondent OF the Rich
mond Dispatch says that if Sherman sue
ceeds in getting possession of Branchville,
the fall of Charleston will soon follow.

Rebel AccOunt Is.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Richmond
Sentinel of the 9th has the following:
The ironclads are again at their old an
chorage The vessels passed the first OBJ
structions, but could not pass the second
line. The Drewry grounded under the en-
emy's batteries, when the crew were re-
moved. About ten minutes after they left
her she was blown up by shell exploding
her magazine. The Richmond and Vir-
ginia both grounded. The Fredericks-
burg passed over the Instructions, drawing
IS inches of water less than the other IRON
clads. The Virginia was struck by a 300
pound shot, which loosened some of her
iron bolts, but all the injury she received
was repaired in few hours. The Virginia,
the flag ship, was commanded byLieutenant
Huntington, the Richmond by Commodore
Kell, late 1st Lieut., of the Alabama, the
Fredericksburg by Lieut.. Shepard. Com
modore Mitchell, flag officer, was in COM
mand of the squadron.
We are pleased to see that measures are
being taken in North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, also Georgia, to burn all cotton that is
in danger of falling into the enemy's hands.
How much better would it have been to
have destroyed the large quantity stored in
Savannah, and thus have prevented its fall
ing into the hands of Sherman.

Foreign Intelligence.

New YORK, Jan. 29.-The steamship
America, from Southampton 18th, arrived
this forenoon.
The Times says that the most rabid
Northern journals admit that the Whining
ton expedition has come to miserable con-
clusion. The whole tenor of the Atrica's
intelligence is favorable to the Conteder-
ates. Some interposition by France or
England, or both, is still thought possible
in the South. The Confederates deceive
themselves in attempting to propitiate
Europe by offers of emancipation. Eng
land would rejoice in any scheme Of eman-
cipation. Every EuropeaniState acknowl-
edged the republic when it was governed
by Constitution permitting slavery as full
ly as the Confederacy permits it now.-
Why should abandonment by the South of
slavery buy recognition that is withheld
for many other reasons? We know OF no
European power likely to accept the Of
Confederate loan 56@57. French rentes

sherman,s Army.

New YORK, January 29.-The Beaufort
s. c., correspondent Of the Times, dating
the 25th, states that Sherman's advance Is
at Salkehatchie, midway between Charles
ton and Savannah, on the railroad line. A
considerable rebel force Is at Sheppo, and
rebel reinforcements have been sent to
Branchville to hold that place against Sher-
man. Several cannon from the outworks
of Charleston have also been sent to Branch
vile. 1t is currently believed, from persis-
tent accounts of deserters that Charleston
will be evacuated. Movements by rebels
indicate that they are moving heavy guns
from James and Sullivan's Islands.
One or two monitors and several gum
boats have Joined Dahlgren's fleet.
A Savannah letter of the 10th, to the
Times, says the last of Sherman's army
would leave that city on the Goth. Two
Divisions were at Hardeeville, $. G., when
last heard from.

The committee beg leave to inform the
public that, in order to close up the affairs
connected with the above Fair, it has be-
come necessary to forego the drawing of

disposal of the Lot, it is respectfully pro-
posed to the holders of tickets for the Pr
ano, that tickets for the Lot be given lieu
thereof. The committee pledge themselves
to make careful register of transfer of

dom from remaining tickets for the Lot.

necessity of an early report to the Society,

it not, the money will be cheerfully refund
ed on presenting tickets to the undersigned
previous to the 4th of February. By the
adoption of the above plan the committee
are enabled to announce that the drawing

Rebel Accounts.

New YORK, January 2S.-Late rebel pa
pers continue to show the confusion, doubt
and dependency regarding the success OF
their Confederacy, now prevalent among
the chief rebels themselves, as well as the
mass of the people.
The Richmond Examiner OF the 24th says:
A long series of blunders, convincing some
sooner, others later, have now produced a
very general, indeed we might say uni
versal belief among all intelligent observ-
ers, that our Government, as it is now con-
Quoted, is not equal to the great occasion.
That feeling of confidence so carefully nur-
tured has been hopelessly broken; that
great element of success has gone from us,
unless In some way we reform the admins
trationsof our Government.
The Examiner says: The expedition of
our iron-clads down the river had been de-
signed to break the enemy's pontOon bridges
and thus destroy his communications, and
to take advantage of the ascertained fact
that he had withdrawn most of his naval
force from the river, probably to Whining
ton, leaving but one iron-clad and some
wooden vessels in the channel above Varina.
There was also reason to suppose that the
recent freshet had washed out PORTION Of
his line of distractions, and thus opened the
way to the attack on his pontoons. We
may say HeTc IildJ Iuc VApculIion 10 unuoi
stood to have originated and to have been
planned by Gen. Lee in view Of the circum-
stances referred to.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2S.-The Evening
Telegraph processes to have late Richmond
papers containing the following:
A large raiding party is moving up the
Chowan river in the direction of Sedon.
An official dispatch from Gen. Hardee
states that no movements had been made by
Sherman up the Savannah river. Other
rumors say that Sherman is moving OH
Augusta via Blakesville.
1t is reported that Davis has appointed
Lee General in Chief, and johnson to COM
mand the army of Northern Virginia.
Gen Hill orders that, if fexigency require, the
powder works be removed from Augusta.
A telegram from Wilmington reports the
capture of the steamer Tallahassee at New
Inlet on the 18th.

CAIRO, January 2s.-The steamer Eclipse,
which exploded her boiler in the Tennessee
river, opposite Johnsonville, on the 26th,
had on board members of the 9th Indiana
battery and other troops. In all over one
hundred and forty or more lives were lost
by the accident. ..,4.
The Vicksburg Herald of the 18th states
that gunboat No. 3 seized the steamer
Mustang at Shipworth Landing. The
Mustang was in search of special
scouts formerly commanded by Lieut.. Earl
Some 80 special scouts were on board, and
had been running the boat up and down
the river, committing sundry depredations
not in accordance with the duties of the
United States soldiers. They were arrested
and committed. The steamer Olive Branch,
from New Orleans the 2lst had 92 bales Of
cotton for Carlo.
