ANOTHER VERSION OF THB CAUSES OF THB FAILURE
—OBBAT STRENGTH OF TKB FORT AND OARRISOH
—THB METHOD TABES BY THE RBBBLSTO PRO
TECT THEMSELVES FROM THB FIRS OF OUR
HAW.
The Norfolk New Regime of the 20th ult„ whose
editor accompanied the expedition against Fort
Flatter, attributes the failoxo of the attaok to a lack
of and the premature explosion of the
torpedo at a time when, as iie says, “thenavral fleet
i was sixteen or twenty miles away, and the army
fleet riding out the storm in Beaufort harbor. 1 ’ It
fprther says that Admiral Porter did not oommence
the tombardment till twelve hours after the explo?
slon. Speaking or Gen. Wenzel's reeonaoissanee,
alter Admiral Porter had expressed to Gen. Butler
the opinion that there were no rebels within five
mile) of the fort, it states:
Ho (Weitzel) -found the.contrary to be the case,,
and that there was a good deal,to do besides throw*
lng troopsinto what waß supposed to be an empty
fort.; He discovered, from the prisoners he had
taker, that there were eight hundred men In the
works that instead of thirty-six guns, there were
nearer sixty; that the men Inside were snugly lying
In their casemates, and patiently watching the Gist
descending missiles of the fleet;. He learned, too,
that <)n Tuesday of last week Hoke’s division had
6et Oct from Biohmond, and that one brigade of it
Whs tlcn encamped within a mile of the garrison.
Fortifying this story of the prisoners, came an at
tack iHfhind him, upon the troops which were laud
ing. The Brooklyn defended the disembarking war
riorstn a manner worthy of all praise; still It was
hecesiary for the soldiers to do something for them
selvea They pushed Into the woods, and the “ bush
whackers,” or whatever they ware, for a time dis
appeared. Things looked a little stormy just then.)
Our men were In the situation of soldiers striving to
take Fortress Monroe, with the sea behind them,
and six thousand men of all arms on their flank,
kith a regiment of South Carolina cavalry at Ms.
sonhoro. ,
General Bntler moved down lu. the direction of
the fort, and oonsulted with Weitzel. That gallant
officer, though the prize was tempting—and If he
had suoseeded ln capturing the fort his glory would
he large—at once decided that the work could not,
to view of surrounding circumstances, be carried
by assault. Colonel Oomstook, I believe, con
curred In this. The wind had, by this time,
changed, and, after a short consultation, it was de
oiled to ro-embark the troops. The writer says
there was a general want of co-operation between
(he land and naval forces, and uncertainty of in
formation,:‘and concludes with the following do
f scriptlon of [Fort Fisher,'which he states was unin
jured by the bombardment: Fort Fisher, from all
I saw and*heard,.ls a square bastlonod field work,
With fronts of about two hundred and fifty yards In
ieigth, and with strong relief, ditch, and glacis on

Of the new era of freedom for the state, the fate of
slavery, the people’s verdict as evinced in the recent
election, the duty of all to sink the parttsaninthe pa.
triot, the dark past and bright future, the advantages
and resources of Missouri, the future home of pro
gress, troth, and faith, ho enjoins. a strenuous •
effort to preserve harmony in every department
of the State Government with all the measures
of the National Administration, and advises the
Legislature to provide homes and education for
the orphans of our .soldiers. He says that in his
appointments to office he sh&H have a preference
for the men who'have served with honor In the
field. He recommends that our public sohool
system shall be enlarged, so as to Include mili
tary Instruction, and the transformation of the
State university Into a free academy, with, two
departments hearing directly upon and qualify
ing young men for the development of our agri
cultural and mineral wealth. He’ advises a modi
fication of the mUltta law, a division of those sub
ject to military duty ip to two olasseß, the abolishment
of the commutation clause in the present law, and
says the right of citizenship mid of a home In Mis
souri ought to be Inseparable from the duty of assist
ing inr Its. defenoe. He enjoins great care in the
revision of the statutes, as the amendments to
the Constitution about-to be made will require
the erasure from them of the word slave, the
abolition -of all distinction of color in laws
relating to crimeß and their punishment, and
the. abrogation of ail laws for the furthering
and -protection of the Interests of slavery. He
recommends the passage of a registration law for
the protection of the ballot box, and says that men
who, by rebellion, havedisavowed allegiance to the
Government, should regain the privileges of oitlzen
shlp only through the United States naturalization '
laws. Whlto, liberty-loving foreigners, willing to
fight for their adopted country, should have the pro
bationary term preceding the acquisition'of citizen
ship shortened lor all. purposes of State elections.

New-Year “Calls” in New YorK.
Tho advent of the New Year was celebrated In
the good old Knickerbocker Etyle throughoatjtha
city on Monday. There were the same countless
number of calls, the same dashing equipages In the
various avenues, the same universal lestlvltles
among all classes of goeietyjWhlch from time Imme
morial have stamped New Year’s day as one of the
'‘peculiar institutions,” and though a terrific civil
of New York, on that day, dld'not In the’ least show
any want of population‘or want of wealth.: There
appeared to be everywhere as main gay and festive
young men making their scores o£ calls, aa In. the
piping times of peace, and though they were all
enthusiastic for oalls, their number was prime /note
evidence that the numerous President’s oalls (for
troops) bad not affected them to any very , great ex
tent. Then again, there was to be seen more
wealth, more show, proportionately, among all
classes of society, than on any previous New
Year’s, day. But there were among visitors an
unusual number of complaints of tardiness
in being ready for the reception of oalls. The
excuse on the one hand was the short days,
the cold, toilettes, preparation of tables, &e.,
&a. The necessity on the other hand for early
calls is the wide extent of the city, distances, num
ber or visits, and short days also. Unless the pe
destrian begins early and oontinuea late, it is Im
possible to make a large number of : calls. As It Is,
New Year’s oalls are now divided into those of duty
and those of pleasure, and perhaps there are those
of Interest, profit, and speculation, as'well as of
public custom and personal Indifference. What
ever the motive, the time-honored enstomls one of
the most agreeable ever instituted, ~ and the
completeness ol the holiday, In the suspension
of all business except what is neoessary to the
day’s enjoyment, proves how highly It is valued
by visitors and visited. Those who wish ean
rightfully close their doors and receive visits by
cards. Those who prefer quiet can stay at home,
the only penalty being that, If well, they thus, as It
were, advertise their intentions not to visit during
the coming year. There was no lack of the accus
tomed taste or elegance of dressing among the
ladies, nor in bounty of entertainments. War
makes no impression upon the many, however much
it may touch the hearts and purses of the few.
Here and there, for the reception of cards, a basket
at the door, tied with a piece of erape, told of soma
particular sorrow during the year In military or
civil life, but, as a whole, Indoors and out, all was
life and gaiety. __

ai Peruvian steamer, which waa sent to explore the
Amazon, has arrived from Mayro, about 300 miles
from Dima. The Morona navigated more than 2,000
miles of the Amazon proper, and 800 of the Yeayali
‘ and the Fachltea rivers, which, until then, had seen
only Indian canoes. The country is, of course,
inhabited only by savages, but it is of wonderful
fertility.
: Mubdeb op Pennsylvania Oppiobrs by Sub
Monday.—On Thursday afternoon, while the Tth
Pennsylvania Cavalry were approaching Bards,
town, Ky., Captain'S. M. MoOormaek, A. A. G-. on
the Colonel’s staff, and Major John L. Shark, sur
geon of the regiment', went into the house of a Mr.
Grigsby, one mile out of the town., Major Shark
was acquainted, with the family, and . had—not
having seen them for tome time—concluded to pay
them a friendly visit. • They had been there but a
few minutes, and Mr. Grigsby’s daughter was en
tertaining them with a song at the* piano, when a
negro woman rushed into the room, but upon seeing
the officers she rushed out again. Miss G. followed
her out, but came back hurriedly, and before she
dould tell the officers or the danger they were in,
the house waa surrounded by Suo Monday and fif
teen guerillae, who fired - upon them through the
window and doors, hot did notsuooeed in hitting
either of them. Mr. G. went to-the door and In-,
formed the guerillas that there were but two soldiers
in his house, and that they would surrender; hut
they pushed him to one side, rushed in, and mar
deted both of them on the spot. After killing them
they got on their horses ana left hurriedly. Captain
McCormack’s body received three balls, either of
wbloli would have produced Instant death. Major
Shark was sbotjwlce, and died instantly. The
bodies were pis cud In metallic coffins, and sent to
this State for interment.
-The Lwmbbb Tbadb op Chicago—Chicago is
Considered the greatest lumber market In the world,
Sind there are but tew who comprehend the amount
of business done in that line In this great commer
cial emporium of the West. The lumber sold hy
Chicago merchants, the greater portion of which Is
brought from Canada and the eastern and western
shores of Lake Michigan, amounts annually to over
fifteen millions of dollars. From thirty-two million
feet received in 1847, it has reached the enormous
amount of four hundred and forty-four millions of
feet in 1867, apeilod of ten years. - During the year
1864 there has been received 420,682,883 feet.of lum
ber, 6,876,609 feet of tlmberjand 185,608,000 shingles;
besides this, two rafts, aggregating 2,840 000, feet.
During the year, 62,541,300 laths, 646,864 posts, and
10,732,000' staves have' been received, besides 491,993
railroad ties. The amount remaining on hand at the
{iresent time is 98.000,000 feet, against 02,000 000 feet
sst year. The increase of stook on hand over last
year is owing to the railroad being unable to furnish
transportation, which, if afforded, would strip the
yards in a short time. The Canadian lumber is con
sidered superior to American, the fibre being firmer,
border, and stralghter. Owing to the depredated
condition of our ourrenoy, there Ib not as ranch
brought to Cbloago as formerly, a much more pro
fitable market being found on the other side of the
Atlantic. Although the demand has Increased, the
supply has not increased correspondingly, and
dealers have been enabled to put np the price to
exorbitant figures. First clear- commands *6O to
*66 por thousand feet, and common boards *22 to
*2l per thousand, being an advance of nearly five
dollars per thousffird dnee the oloseof navigation.
The great quantities rued by the, Government in
the construction of-bridges,baryaoks, BcQ.,besides
the jarge home demand, has had a tendency to
bring the reoeipts and price up to a point lq excess
of any provlons year. 1

There was not that activity at the stock Board yes
terday whioh was expected to prevail at the close of
the holidays. A moderate amount of business was
transacted at no material changes from the ruling
’ quotations of Saturday .last. The oil stocks are still
pressed'upon the market, and.the shares of dividend
paying companies meet with much favor. Government
and railroad bonds continue to command a good
premium, and are sonsht for by persons desirous of
safe investments. The former, especially, are in
active request at improving prices. The 1881 loan ad
vanced H, selling freely at 110. The 5 20a sold
np to 103%, an advance of %. The new 7-30 s

102. There was nothing said in State loans. Now City

were quite active; there were sales reported of Lehigh
sines of ’B4aUO3, and sixes of ’JO at 100; Union Canal

The BoaSrd of Control of the Stole Bank of Ohio, at a
late meeting, adopted a resolution that no more notes
should be delivered to any of the.branches, and that all
notes of the State Bank received by the branches should
be returned to the general office to be burned. To keep
up a supply of ne w billsfor thirty* six banks has always
required a large amount of several denominations to be
prepared, and ready for delivery, to take the place of
the.worn out, defaced, and mutilated old bills •' All this
hag.been burnt, as no longer needed. A committee met
at the office of the board, some ten days ago, and care
fully counted and burnt the whole, amounting to nearly
two millions of dollars, in sheets, and thus disposed o/
every dollar on hand.
For the information of parties Who may have some
0 J the bills of New Orleans banka In their possession,
and who are not aware of their present value, we give
the following extract from alate number of the Pries
Current of that city:
“In the dank Note market we noticed a moderate
demand for Bank of New Orleans at 50&Slc $& dollar,
and /or Merchants* at 32%c. Bank of Louisiana. MIP)

tude. Dealers give lees for the trifling amounts offered
at their counters. Daring the e»rly,part of the. week
the Bank of Louisiana draw for Francs at It 40 for its
note*, which, at Clc. as the market value of the latter,
is equalto 229 X in legal-tender. Theßank of New Or
leans continues to redeem its twenty, dollar and smaller
bill* with ctiy treasury notes, and give ole §t«e bonds,
matured coupons off, at par in exchange foi its larger
bills LouisiaoaState Bank and Mechamcs and Traders*
Bank notes rule at par: with legal-tender notes. Citi

our quotations are predicated on ray meat in-legol-tsa-

over city treasnry notes, while the UUer are stUI the
general medium of exchange in pur local trade, and arc
received for both State and city taxes. ” . .
