Tears this old and 'well-known` company
IniVe been extending their business in the
interior of the State of Pennsylvania, - . and
have 'already laid a good foundation for fire
and inland business throughout the Com
monwealth.
Incorporated as they were in the -year
1754 by the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
and up to the year 1862 having agencies
only in two or three prominent points in
the State, their claims for business through
out the State whence their authority came,
seem well founded, and hence, some three
years since, they established a central State
at rency at the seat of Government; through
which their agency business is transacted
and where policies are issued.
s i ce the organization of this company in
1792, now over seventy years, their success
Inns been very marked, having now a capi
tol and surplus of over $1,600,000, and dur
ing which time they' have paid losses
amounting to over seventeen millions of
dollars.
In Philadell thin, where the management
of this company is best known, it en
joys a well deserved popularity, as the
result of long tried and faithful services,
and large liberality in the adjustment of
; the ofiicers:Arthur G. Coffin, Esq.,
l'r , ,ident, :old Charles Platt, Esq., Secre
tory. as well as the Board of Directors,
heing well and faniliarly known, some of
whom have given their services to the cor

To Brigadier-Gen. _Rawlins.
General : I have the honor to report that
Fort Fisher was carried by assault this
afternoon and evening by Gen. Ames' di
vision and the Second Brigade of the First
Division of the 10th Army Corps, aided by
a battalion of marines and seamen from
the navy; the assault was preceded by a
heavy bombardment from the Federal fleet
and was made at 3:30 P. M., when the First
Brigade, Gen. Curtis, of Ames Division, af
fected a lodgment upon the parapet, but full
possession of the work was not obtained
until ten P. M.
The behavior of both officers and4men
was most admirable. All the \ vork, south
of Fort Fisher are now occupied by our
trooi.s. We have not less than 1,200 prison

This division was ordered to prepare 1;4
action and move in close to the Isiah and
shell Hitt woods at a point decided ups n the
landing of troops,iteing about al miles from
Fort Fisher near the deserted half Moon
battery.
In a few minutes the whole division was
in position, throwing shells into the narrow
strip of woods separating the sea shorefront
Cape Fear River, about a mile inland, par
alien with the beach. In the meantime,
the iron-clads moved into position directly
in front of Fort Fisher, the Ironsides
being three-fourths of a mile off, and the
Monitors about a half mile, in the following
order:
New Ironsides, Corn. Radford, 20 guns:
Monitors .Monadnpek, Corn. E. G. Parrott,
4 guns; Saucus, Com. E. R. Colahan, 2
guns; Canonicae, Lieut. Corn. Geo. L. Belk

Potter, 2 guns.
Before they got in position the fort opened
on thorn, but Mrey heeded it not until they
had secured their anchorage, and at 5.30 A.
M. the iron-clads opened on the fort follow
ed by the ponderous shells of the 'Monitors,
every shot striking in the embrasures and
exploding, throwing clouds of sand high
into the air.
The fort occasionally responded, but•did
not get off more than one shot in every ten
minute.; and, at timee, ito rapid was the

thoroughly shelled by the Brooklyn and
its division of gunboats; without any signs
of the enemy.
The transports were enabled to gozithiu .
about half a mile of thenhere. They were
soon surrounded bynot less than 200 boats,
each vessel of the fleet having supplied its
complement. Several tugs in attendance
also joined in the work, :conveying the sol
dters to within a hundred: yards of the
bench, and transferring them to small boats.
• FLAG SHIP MALVERN," .lan. 9th, 1895.
Before the commencement of active oper
ations this morning, the following order
was made on the quart Or-deck of the Santi
ago de Cuba by Lieut. Morman H. Earqua
liar executive officer:
Before going into action the commander
of each vessel will detail as inane of his men
as he can spare from his guns as a landing
party, that we may have a share in the as
sault when it takes place. The boats will
be kept ready lowered near the water on the
off-side of the vessels. Thesallors will be
armed with cutlasses, well sharpened, and
with revolvers. When the signal is made
to man boats, the men get in, but not
show themsefres.
When the signal is made to assault, the
boats will pull around the .tern of the
Monitors and land right abreast of them,
and board the fort on the river in a seaman
like way. The marines will form in the rear
and cover the sailors. Whilst the soldiers
are goina over the parapet, in front,
the
sailors will take/the sea face of Fort Fisher.
We can land 2,000 men from the fleet and
not feel it. 2, ,, P0 active inert' from the fleet
will aarry the day. Twp boat keepers will
be kola in each boat.

as I learn from officers who assisted
in leading them, are in good spirits, and
:In in 1 led forward to the assault of
;he roll.. They wish to wipe out the stain
cast upon them by the withdrawal of Ben,
]Sutler, 11111 to prove to the country that they
did not believe the tort could not be taken.
The announcement received here to-day
Gen. Butler had been removed from the
command of the army of.the James, and
directed to report at Lowell, caused great
rejoicing throughout the fleet. I regret to
learn that one of the 15-inch guns of the
:Maly ,pae was burst to-day, but are pleased
to adtl that none of her iron-clad crew were
injured by the explosion; she remained in
the fight throughout the day. Some good
shooting was made by the rebels, and all
the iron-clads have numerous indentations
of their armor.
Sat ur dug morning .Tan. —.Another
bright beautiful day has dawned, being the
third siuce we left Beanford and scarcely a
cloud dims the Heavens. The night was
brilliant in the first quarter of a waning
woon and a light northwest wind.
This morning the sun has risen in a
cloudless sky, and is already driving off the
chilliness of the air. The monitors and
iron-clads have continued throughout the
night to throw a shell every ten minutes
into Fort Fisher, discontinuing their work
only at daylight. The troops on shore. are
having a fine time this morning, a foraging
party having returned to camp with nearly
. . .
.ItEk_ head of settle and horses, which
had picked up during the night.
The military have advanced during'ibi
night to the aiiitndoned fort (Andererin), and
have held possession of the whole breadth
of the Peninsula to Cape Fear Rivet': The
advanced pickets are now within'a mile of
Fort Fisher, prepared for storming the work
when the proper moment arrives. .
The Santiago de Cuba with the divi„sign:
of Capt. Glisson, which consists of 1.4 grmS
boats, are anchored this morning close into
the beach with instructions to protect the
troops as they advance.
Being close in shore, and at the head
of the lime, our duty being to follow
the troops as they move forward, our
position fur witnessing the operations
of to-day, is. if possible, more favorable
than yesterday; the wind will drive the
smoke off shore, and give us an unobstruct
ed view of the effects of the shot on the fort,
and the operations of storming.
