Fort Fisher Falls,
This stronghold of theConfederaey,
situated about thirty miles below the
city of Wilmington, in North Carolina,
and located at the entrance of Cape.
Fear river, his fallen into of r hands.
Since the first attack . upon the fort,
Admiral Porter was busily employed
in filling the vessels with ammunition
and coal. This, together with the
tenacity with which ho,.with his fleet,
held on to the bombardment of Fort
Fisher, after General Butler had sailed
away, evidences that it was the. Aduri.
ral's great desire to capture the cita
del, and, if means failed, afterreplen
ishing, to renew the assault. In an
oordance with this manifest determin
ation on the, part of : Admiral. Porter
(and all credit to him for it,) the War
Department, fitted out another
,expe
dition,having„as before, Admiral Por
ter to command themano3uyres of the
fleet, while Brevet Major General
Alfred 11. Terry was ordered to direct
the movements of the army.,
We give the details of the assault
and capture into to-day's columns.—
Every loyal Mau can truly rejoice that
-the goddess of victory is leading our
heroes of the land and sea to greater,
conquests. Our fleet and army will
not reethere ; but Wilmington will yet
be ours, and its name follow. in the
long line of noted captures next to
Savannah, to be quickly followed by
that of Charleston—the first hope,
Petersburg—the Gibraltar, and Rich
mond--the "last ditch,' of the toppling
Confederacy. •
"More Truth than- Poetr
"It has been found out in these lat
ter years that intelligence' breeds.' ptr

,great mass of those
who have been . in sympathy with the

The:above extract we find in a re
port of a lecture by Rev. Henry Ward.
Beecher at the Academy of ,linsie,
Philadelphia, on. the evening of Thurs
day List. They .are words of. truth;
and express groat significance. Any
reasonable man, who has made himself
acqbainted with the progress of events
during the present war, will justify the,
assertion of the speaker, and uphold
him in it, True it is, that from out
of the intelligent people of the North
we have seen thousands springing to
the call of our, country who Were; actu
ated by the spirit of patriotism. Op
posed to them we see hosts of the ig.
norant class of the. south, who . haye
been led by the, hypocritical cries and
pleadings of unprincipled men, to war
against right and against themselves.
And again, in our own midst, whom do
we hoar assailing the administration
in bitter terms, whom do we see rais
ing the dagger to the heart of the Gov
,
ornment,—in other words,whorn de we
find treasonable,—but the ignorant, or
those who have been blindly led by
treasonable leaders. 'Perhaps, it is
norance - makes them blind, and crush
es whatever patriotic feelings 'may
arise, -Passion rules their :eVer,y ac
tion, and they readily follow the

tatea,of impassionate men, who,. upon
treason videavor . to talk with reason.
No intelligent - man can talk treason,
unless base ingratitude actuates him - to
do so and no-man will follow a treas
onableman's advice unless he is an ig
noramus or a fool; but so it is through
.out mankind, they aro prone . to "pin
themselves unto their idols." The
great calamity now is that those who
have reason nse it not aright.
4umons.--It is rumored that Lee
_contemplates another raid on Mary
land and Peonsylvania,as the last blow
for tho rebel cause.
The city of Richmond is said to be in
process of mining as Davis has doter=
mined it 413411 not fall into:2, our hands
except in fi.b . eaP of rains.
It was cnrreat reported in New
York on Sunday, and believed that.
Leo had been made dictator.
GOLD COMING DOWN.—The. late 21;tc
cossee of the Union arms have had
the effect of knocking gold down sev
eral pegs. Oa Saturday last, it fell
sl.9B—a decline sinoo the lgth of
twenty-three cents. Flour is also on
ttio deolino in the eastern pities—and
everything else mast soon fall in mice.
Peace.
All kinds of rumors aro afloat on
the subject of peace. It appears that
Francis P. Blair, Sr., after being clos
eted with President. Lincoln for sever
al hours, returned to - Richmond on
Friday last. It is said thathe returns
to Richmond withfree autlierity_from'
the President to give safe conduct to
Washington for Peace Commissioners
from Jefferson Davis. While the door
is left open for th'e'rebels . to ask for
i peace, Our tirtnia drill moving onward
•to victory. There is no doubt the
robs are getting very sick of the con
test. A very few months and the re
bellion rauet go under.
..,The Secessionists of Washing- .
ton are in distress over the news, and
the more intelligent :care confessing
that the days of the rebellion are num
bered. The capture of s hort. Fisher
settles the thing—that the -Constitu
tional amendment, abolishing slavery
will pass; our Successes will give the
administration strength to carry- its
measures through Congrsss, and it will
carry this one, now that the cause of
the rebels totters to. the ground.
IN A Taar.--Somothing like a; doz
en blockade' runners are belieyed to
be on the ocean, bound forWilmjngton,
.freighted with all kind of supplies,
for the Rebels by our British neutral
cousins. They Will'be received With
open arms, as usual, at Wilmington,
but the profits are likely tO be less.—
Five have already beau captured by
our fleet:
OlL—The-oil fever still •ragos, and
large strikes are made almost daily
in several counties in this State, and
in Ohio and Virginia. Large fortunes
are being.mide•and many small ones
will be lost. •
THE EXCHANGE OF PI3II3ONEat3.--It
appears from a communication of the
Secretary of War, that the entire sub.
ject of exchanging prisoners is placed
in the hands of General Grant; aock.
that although but a partial exchange
is thus far made, there is reason to be
lieve a full exchange will soon bo of
feeted.
"My Country will be the Gainer,"
. .Pcnding the hist ettack'on Fort Fish;
- er, General Butler ie reported to have
said in Washington : "If the attack
is repulsed I shall bo justified in nut
having made the assault with my hand
ful of troops. • if the attack is success.
ful, my country will be -the gainer,
which will 'snit me quite as well. . No
one can doubt the patriotism of Gen.
Butler. Few men havo'furnished bet
ter proof of it. At the outset - of
: the
war he went to the bottom of the whole
buei doss, Comprehended the stupendous
bharacter of the . crime meditated, and
has never been without n
_ olicy-a
policy which, hada it - been infused into
the measures of the GovorriMent,
would, iu our opinion, have saved the
country many a costly error, and pre-.
vented many a lesson . of bitter eperi
ence.
Much that has fallen front his lips
and flowed from his pen; concerning
this -Rebellion, and the means to be
employed to crush it out, has passed
into permanent history, and when the
actors in the drama haVe passed away,.
it will be read' with pride by his coun
trymen, who will award him a place
among the most conspicumis for pene
tration, breadth of intellect and resour
ces, .While - they Wonder that in the
management of tho War his counsels
did not More prevail. -
Did General Butler's military. equal
his civil abilities, the nation would long
since haire had a loader in all respems
equal to the great occasion. As it is,
few men have so strong`it hold on the
ptipular heart.. Although not success -
fill in all things, ho stands in little
danger of having injustice done him.
Posterity; if not the mon Of to day,
will be impartial. No true friend will
wish to see him make a mistake in the
position in which, in the courser of
events, he is placed. It is the moment
for wisdom, when perfect self control
will demonstrate his capacity to coin
triand others; for there are times when
the real soldier will best prove his fit.

The man .who seized rebellious : No s

danger from a transitory wave,. oven

it. Though not great in everything, a.

the Men of . his time. If while striving
to transcend in one respect; ho achieve
but partial success, be still is eafe with
posterity and, honored in.his day fdr
'WS eminence, in another. Gen. Butler
is not more . worthy of condemnation
because he has not excelled as a mili
tary leader, than our recognized mili
tary loaders are because they are . not
his equal in statesmanship.
It would be well - for the .Nation if in
civil affairs, failure to achieve success, 1
glaring mistakesand downrightiricapa

itary affairs. Under the operations of
such a rule, those. who were not relie
ved, but; held their places, would •be
conspictious exceptions, and the corm

General Butler has uttered a senti•
ment that does him honor, ono that
affords' new proof 'of his patriotism,

standard of all men, whether in civil

Mr. Blair's Mission.
.• A:letter has been reoeived in Phila
delphia, from a prominent gentleman
in Washington, who says that Fran
cis P. Blair, Sr., returns to Richmond
with full authority from _President
Lincoln to give safe .eopduct to Wash.
ington for Pence Commissioners from .
Jefferson . Davis. Mr. Blair is . epec- .
ted to.he in 'Richmond ovening.
WAsumuTos, Jan. 20. - (Special to
the. New York Times.) Francis P.
Blair, Sr, left this afternoon on the,
Government steamor. Don for. City
.Point. Thence ho will go ou the ',flag
of truce boat to Marina Landing, on
the James river where a permit is wait
ing him to return to the rebel capital.
The Cabinet were in session several
hours to day, and it is understood that
their conference related to .the move
ments• of this gentleman. Nothing,
however, is known of, the powers, if
any, with which ho is clothed, or the .
precise objects which it is expected
ho will accomplish; but the fact of his
return a second time to Richmond
would seem to authorize. the conclu
sion that the present visit has, if not
a more serious, at least a different aim
from that which prompted his first
mission, ,
AID FOR TIIE POOR AT SAVANNAH.-
.
In New York, up to Saturday,. about
$15,000 had been subscribed and col

-:`;FALL OF FORT FISHER
OFFICIAL NEWS
The following particulars of itic en
gagement is from Admiral Porter and
General Terry , .
' The' troops , arrived off Fort Fisher
on Thursday night the 12th, and. on
Friday they were all landed under
eovee•of a heavy fire froM the squa
dron. A reconnoissance was made by
General Terry on Saturday. A strong
defensive line against any of the one
my's forces coming from Wilmington
was established and held by 4,000 men,
principally colored troops, and an as
uirk was determined on. The assault
was made on Sunday afternoon at 3:30
°clock. The sea-front of the fort had
been.greatly damaged and broken by
the continuous and terrible fire of the
fleet for three days. Tho front was'
assaulted at the hour - mentioned by a
coluninof seamen and marines, 1,800
Strong, .under command of Captain.
Breoze.' They reached the parapet,
but after a short conflict they ' wore
checked and driven back in disorder,
and were afterwards.placed on the de
fensivo line, taking- the place 9f a bri
gade that was brought up to reinforce
the assaulting column of troops. Al
though the assault on the front failed,
it effectually served in diverting the
attention of the enemy and weakening
their resistance to -the attack of the
troops on the other side. The assault
on the other and most difficalt side of
the fort Wag made by 'a dolUmn of
troops of the old Tenth Corps, led by
Colonel Curtis, under the immediate
supervision of General Terry...
" .
,the enemy's force in - the Eort was
over'3;ooo. The conflict lasted for sev
en hOurs. The works were so con ,
structed that every traverse afforded ,
the enemy a, new defensive position
from which they bad to he driven.
They were seven in nember, and the
fight was carried on from traverse to
traverse for seven hours, by a skillful
ly directed fire thrown into the travel'•
ses, as ono after another they wore cm.
eupied by the enemy. Admiral Porter
contributed to the success of the as
saulting column by signals between
himself and General, Terry at brief' in
*vela.. This signal, was so well man
aged, as to damage the enemy without
injury to our own troops.
At about 9 o'clock the enemy were
entirely driven from: the fort and for
ced down towards Federal Point, fol
lowed by it brigade of our troops, and
about twelve o'clock at night General
Whiting 'surrendered himself and his -
Command to Gen..Terry,--unconaitithio
as'prisoners: of war, numbering
over 2,800, the remainder of the force
killed and wounded. Our loss
accurately ascertained Mon
ernoon, .but was estimated at
bo =en 700 and 800 in killed and
wounded,besidos the naval losses which
were slight, not exceeding Ono hundred
killed . and wounded . Not a ship or
'transport Was lost. 'COIN Curtis was
severely hdt not mortally iyoUnded.
Col. Bell died of his wounds on Mon•
day morning, , Col. J. W'.. Moore and
_Lieut. Col. Lyman were killed. Col.
Pen nypticker was badly wounded; also,
Lieut. Col: Goer.. A complete' list of
the killed and wounded will be tonvard
ns soon_ns it can bo prepared. Gen.
Leroy reported to Surgeon General
Barnes that bo.had ample provision of
surgeons, nurses and hospital supplies
for all the wounded. They will be sent
North to their respective States as fast
as they can be placed . on trausports,
of which there is an ample supply.
Early on Monday morning, between
Six and seven O'clock the magazines of
Port Fisher exploded; killing :and
wounding between 200 and-300 per
sons. Alter the capture of the'fort all
the troops, wet() withdrawn except one,

.• works. j
:flow the explosion occurred Was not i
known, but General Terry believed it
:Was occasioned by accident or neglect.
Hoke's division, reported at 500, was
at Wilmington. A portion of it was .
tbrown : into the fort not long' before
the assault, and while that was going
- on, a demonstration was made by Hoke
against our defensive line, bat it was
folind too strong for anything, more
than a skirmishing, attack. At 11
o'clock Monday morning, a heavy cloud'
of smoke was observed Over Fort
Smith,.on the south side of New Inlet.
The naval officer commanding that sta
tion reported that the enemy had fired
their barrackS and evacuated that
,work. .

witing,.unoer date of;;Jan:hary 20th,
from :BorModa , 4undied, Virginia,
says :
I see no'reason to change my opin
ion in reference to the evacuation of
Rierninni. Corroborating testimony
is'daily arrivingfran_the rebel-strong
hold. The machinery is being remo
ved to Danville. The bankers have
already sent their deposits to - that
place, and it is generally believed by
the people that the rebel chiefs will
soon pack up their 'traps and start.
South. Danville is'distant about one
hundred miles from Richmond.
The greatest dissatisfaction now ex
ists in the rebel army. The feeling is
very intenseagainst tl3eadministration
of Jeff Davis, and if Gen. Grant; doei
not soon capture him, it is asserted
the rebels will be certain to hang him.
It is further asserted that even. now
he dare not walk the streets of. Rich
mond without a strong guard, froni
fear of assassination by some felloW
rebels, who charge upon him the dis
asters to their God forsaken cause.
If you have not been, informed, I
would mention a very unpleasant state
of affairs in the rebel eamps'iti 'our
front. The Georgia troops .refused to
remain any longer in Virginia and
North Carolina soldiers wore drawn up
to bring them to . terms, but without
effeet. The mutiny fora timer Mares,
oned terrible consequences, and the
way in which the rebel authorities
deemed best to suppress it was to al
low the. Georgia troops to return to.
their State. It is more than likely that
this feeling has boon stimulated by a
realization of the inevitable defeat of
their entire armies. These soldiers
will return not only to their homes,
but to their allegiance.
