Should such landing be effected whether
the enemy ho!a Fort Fisher, or the batteries
guarding the entrance to the river there the
troops should intrench themselves, and by CO.

the harbor, and the port Of Wilmington would
be scaled. .f...t.
Should Fort Fisher, and The boiht Of land
on which it is built, fall into the hands of Our
