Parties from North Carolina report that

The HerGld's Washington special says:
Admiral Porter hiss sent communication
to the Navy Department in which he TO
sponds to some OF General Buffers state
ments in regard to the naval part Of the
expedition delaying the attack on Fort
Fisher, and thus causing its failure. He
says that the only work assigned to the
Navy was to silence the rebel works, and
that it did that efectuAlly on the oath and
25th Of December, but that as General
Butler then decided an assault by his mil
itary force unfeasible, it would not have
been less 30 at an earlier day. .-
He is of the opinion that the fort could
easily have been taken by the troops If an
effort had been made. General Butler
started on the expedition, the Admiral
saws before the naval fleet was ready to
cooperate with him, and thus by exposing
his transports to the view Of the enemy
warned them Of their danger.
He also charges thst the army portion
of the enterprise was gotten up in q very

Therefore, total reconstruction sp-

pursue them with armies and deal with
Them according to military law. After-
wsrds they viii be dealt with by the civil
courts. BE thinks the same course sbould
be adopted as indicated by General Wash

accordance with the principles Of the
Burr conspiracy. He quotes from Wash

fulfilling their Commands The Union
must and shall be preserved, cost what it
may.
There is no other alternative for the
people Of Georgia than to conform to this
view of the case. No commissioners or
negotiations or conventions are necessary.
Whenever the people Of Georgia quit the

Senators, and these take their seats, the
State of Georgia will have resumed her
functions in the Union. r
