CirY POINT, Jan. ., 1858.
The news OF the Presidents Order No. /, series or
1865, removing Major General Benjamin f. Butler from
the command Of the Department Of Virginia and North
Carolina is causing much comment; but, far as
learn, little anmndversion- Whether rghtiuy or
not General Butler has for months past been losing
the confidence Of the officers Of the army, untiI
very fow will regret his departure outside Of those
that swarm around and attach themselves those in
power II has been General Buffers misfortune ap-
point too many Of these selfish and irresponsible persona
10 official positions of trust and responsibility Their
ndiscretons have often cost him dearly and sup
posed bo small degree instrumental in causing
his present removal
The osensibc grounds FOR ceprivlng him Of Lis CON-
mand undoubtedly his recent fascos OF Wilmington
and Dutch Gap. But q mountain Of dissatisfaction has
been accumusting against him for months account Of
alleged Illegal and arbitrary arres,s mprsonments and
punishments. II said that many Of CARING IA.
justice have TO light aud many others expected
to be developed by his supersedure.
Major General Butler is ordered to turn over.hs
mand, all moneys and government property, and the
civil fund In his possession TO the person named by
Lieutenant General Grant his temporary successor
and TO proceed to Lowell Mass, and 10 report to the
War Department by letter.

HEADQuARTERs, DEPARTMENT OF NoRTH CAROLINA,
WILMINGTON Dec 20, 1854 !
The commanding general desires 10 congratulate the
officers and engaged In the recent operations
this place their successful termination. One or the
most formidable expeditions yet organized by the
enemyan imposing forco Of veteran troops, supported
BY feet carrying FIVE hundred gums, has
plished other object than fruitlcss landing
rem coast followed In forty eight hours by nasty rc-
embaTketion.
This auspicious result s due under merciful Proyi-
dence, to tho skin Of Major General Whiting, who
planned the defences ut the mouth or the Cape Fear
the galantry and endurance Of Colonel Lamb and the
brave garrison Of Fort Fisher under his immediate
mand worhIy seconded by Lieutenant Chapman, Of the
navy and hs devoted seasn, serving battery Buchanan
and tho steady GOODNESS with which Bgadier General
Kirkland with part OF his brigade checked the advance
Of vastly superior numbers Of the enemy.
Thus another gigantic effort Of powerful enemy has
come 70 naught but not without aording profitable
lessonA The successful defence Of Fort Fisher ageint
Of the most formidable naval Of modern
times proves that the superiority Of land batteries
ships-ofwar at time threatened by the improve
ments artillery and ship armor has been rcostabished
by the genius Of the ongneer and che weaker party
the defensive, may still defy the greater numbers and
mechanical resources Of arrogant invader Let az
hope that tho check which the enemy has received al
the mouth OF the Cape Fear may prove the harbnger
renewed series Of Confederate victories.
