Our Victory at 'Wilmington. The victory won by our army and navy at Wil mington - on Sunday last, is one or the grenteat and most important we have ever achieved. The dam age Is crushing beyond compute to the Southern Confederacy. The place lies about midway between the positions occapied by our great armies on the Savannah and on the James; and Its-bearings are as wide as the region of country between these rivers, in which the conclusive campaigns of Grant and Sherman • must now be speedily brought to their culmination and consummation. The capture of Fort Fisher itself, with its twenty five hundred man and seventy-sre gnus, is a feat of arms worthy of our soldiers and sailors. The block ing up of Cape Fear River, the seizure of the last port open to the rebels, and the final cutting off of all intercourse between the illionfedrary and the out side world, is a b4 , w from which there can be no re covery. The rapture of the city of Wilmington, which we have "o doubt will be presently effoeted, if it is not already effected by our iron-clads or by our army, will bring within our lima the largest and only important city in North Carolina, will complete our control of the coast of that State, and will enable us to operate at convenience in the inte rior. These and other bearings of Sunday's battle are most ruinous to the prospects of the rebellion, and most hopeful for the final and decisive triumph of the Union arms. But great as these positive gains are In themselves, there Is a far larger scope to the victories of Sunday. General Sherman, with that iron-clad army oc.,this, has lately been making significant demonstrations toward various important points In the State of South Carolina; and the opinion of bin forthetiming campaign that Is generally entertained is, that lie will strike across the Carolinas as he struck across Geor gia, and join Gem Grant in Virginia, in which State our great combined army will make the final assault upon the last remaining army of the Southern re bellion. The vastness of this scheme Is such as to lead timid people to doubt its feasibility; but the view of what Sherman has already encore pnsbcd, and in the light of his remark recently made at Savannah, that his "army can now march anywhere over the South and do anything," we see no reason in doubt that the work can and will be done. Now, if Jell Davis looks as his map, tie will at once ace that if Gen Sherman takes Branchville, which he is now threatening, both Charleston and Columbia will be In B very bad way, and the next points on his north ward march would be Kitooolle and Florence. When at the latter point, be would nearly have got across one of the Carolinas. and the broad 'airfare of the Old North State would lie before him. The net Im portance of Wilmington in this onward march is now evident at a glance. - it lies in a direct line by railroad, east of Florence, and would at once furnish Sherman a new base and Vatting point In hie on ward march through North Carolina. In this view it is that we see by far the greatest importance of our success at Wilmington, and by far the greatest or comity for the capture of the city itself We have no doubt, that it not already done, the taking of the city in a part of the programme now, thong it might have been no part of the object of our operations primarily, when th e only purpose was to prevent blockade running. We lave Dins no doubt that the capture of Wil mington Is an essential fink in the operatlona of Sherman, and in the terminating campaign of the rebellion in the .Atlantic States; and It is not im possible that the month's delay of Sherman at Sa vannah may be partly owing ['Your December fall meat Wilmington.

There is a hitch in their affairs, a hiatus. in the heretofore steady flow of the Yankee stream which dropped its loose change along the routes of its travel. The dollish of the State Depart ment stands at the gates of entrance and exit, And sternly demands the production of a bit of printed paper with an autograph appending, setting forth the height, weight, general features, color, and nationality of the traveller who knocks for enterence, or who requests the priv ilege of'vamosing the monarchical dominions. .Of course, the rushing tide presses up to the barrier, undulates awhile, and then commences a steady ebb. It, of course, seeks other chan nels, and finding them surges on its course.— So from Suspension Bridge to the Canadian shore opposite Detroit there are plenty of seats for our Canadian cousins. Crowding is out of fashion.' Engineers and firemen are nut kept in a state of excitement over the steam gauge, brakemen lazily, swing themselves around with the wheel of their breaks, and conductors look hopelessly down the empty platforms of the de pots, and sing out to ghosts unseen their usual "all aboard." Dinners have ceased to smoke on the tables; waiters keep their dirty aprons on continnally—a saving of laundry fees—and the empty tills of the cashiers, and of the beer and strong drink fountains, are strongly suggestive of bankruptcy. Officers and directors meet, look glum, and inwardly curse the Yankee who will not admit the Canadian right to harbor raiders, allow them to ran over the lines on n small spree . of murder, theft, and arson, and return to find an official to keep their stolen moneys until they call for them, and a judre who will stand between them and justice. But the cursing does not help them to bank their deposits or surplus in such amounts as to suggest the pleasure of fat dividend at the end of the financial year. The:provincial towns and cities are taking up the lament and the cursing. Yankees are doing more business at home and less among our cousins. The beds and dining tables of hotels are like the "the banquet hall" of the old song, "deserted:" and, in a word that grim passport sentinel has given our good, generous, philan tropic cousins a great desire to see their relatives once more in the flesh and—their money. The reciprocity treaty, which, like the handle of a jug, was all on the Canada side, bids fair to snspeild its action, and thus our dear neighbors are iri a double gvief. If they have to exist up on themselves, what can they a..? It will be French against English, and both against their cousin Jonathan, who refuses to come to theit loving and depleting embrace. "When this cruel war It over," or when Canada shall be purged of raiders, or cease to be made an asy lum for banditti who plot treason and how best to consummate, it, when their judges shall learn common sense and neighbor love, mixed with the smallest modicum of justice, and their offi cials cease to he " pals" to keep the money of thieves, then, perhaps,the grim passport sentinel will retire; bdt the so-called reciprocity has gone up, not to return to its official earthly sphere again, id our judgment. sorTiinirts AltoLtilovisic The debate in the House of Representatives, elicited by the question of abolishing slavery in the United States, has already established the fact that there is a - strong abolition party in the South anxious to get rid of slavery as the only means Of saving the Union. And stranger -than all this, is the fact that the most intense abol itionists in the South are slave-holders, men who own hundreds of negroes, who are now ;willing to give up their "human cattle" to save !their lives and perpetuate their own freedom. 'The common sense men of the South begin to , understand that the result of the rebellion for victory or defeat, cannot save slavery. To be suctsful, Jeff. Davis is willing to sacrifice slavery—he is willing to sacrifice the entire South and bring every wbitc. laboring man of that region under the dominion of France, Eng land. or Spain, (under the control of either of winch powers, the condition of the white men of the South would he reduced to vassalage or slavery) rather than return to the Union. The white men of the South begin to understand this fact, and hence they are more anxious to return to the Union, there to regain the equalities of American citizenship. Henceit is, too, that in the debate alluded to, the most earnest men ad vocating the constitutional amendment abolish ing slavery, are the men of the South. Jeff. Da vis, himself, is now the most out-spoken aboU tiouist in the land. He wants to free the negro that Sc may secure the eternal bondage of the white citizens of the South, by an alliance with the aristocracies of the old world. Take the, question as it is now viewed in Congress and at. UM traitor: , begin to regard it, abolitionism Ls becoming an attractive feature of the war.

THE COMING DRAFT The Daily News and New-York World are enjoying a fatally quarrel over the coming draft, which the .2Veirs is amiable enough to attribute to those curiosities in politics, commonly --desig nated as war democrats, whose representatives, according to the theory of the News, arc Geo. B. McClellan and the Jew Belmont, with other non-combatants of that particular stripe of mal contents. The Netts says that were it not for the World having acquiesced in the repeated tyrannies of Abraham Lincoln, that individual would not have resorted to this final despotism. of calling out the deficiency on the last call. The World retorts, and most Justly, that had not the News misguided individuals, liable to the draft, and encouraged wholesale desertion, it would not have been found necessary to resort to a sum mary conscription to fill the army to an efficient standard.

The Plot to Burn New-York ARREST OP FOUR CONSPIRATORS. General Dix and his subordinates have had an ob ject In view In striving, as they have done since the Incendiary attempt to lay our city in ashes, to create the Impression that they were making no movements with a view to the apprehension of the incendiaries. And the event proves their action to hnve been is diciona at least, if not the most gratifying that the nearsmongers could have conceived; for, now that the wail has been partially lifted, we discover four prisoners against whom the accumulated proofs are said to be overwhelming, and I , aru that our officials have gathered such feet* as wall enable them, in due time, to eatablish a clear case against many another rebel larho now reposes in fancied security. Immediately on promulgating the memorable or. der of November tlith, instructing military officers In the Department of the East to deal summarily with rebel raiders and incendaries, General Dix called Police Superintendent Kennedy to aid him, and the Superintendent was authoriz,d to employ such and as many men from his force na he might think prop er, Mr. Kennedy lostno time In detailing a number of his ablest detective policemen, and these, under the leadership of Chief Detective Young, were promptly Beni to the Canadian border, ender In structions giving them discretionary powers. The men had been absent a fortnight before any person r•-market, the circumstance ; but at length their pro longed tarry naturally excited the curiosity of fre qiienters at the Central Department of the Metropot wan Police; yet the secret was well tept, and not until the officers had reached town with their pris oners, and seen them securely bolted within the walls of Fort Lafayette, did a lisp escape their lips. Chief Young and his men went hence direct to the Canada line, and put themseves In co:mount. eation with the detective officers In the chief cit ies from Lewistown, New-York to Port Huron, Michigan; and having done this, they separated, bnt were careful to keep within telegraphic hall of each other—some going Into Canada, and others re malning,,on our side of the line. The secret having been entrusted to the authorities on the border, these gentlemen entered into the work with much keepleg an eye upon persons Whom they sus pected, giving our officers now and then a useful hint, tendering them speedy transportation to such ;mints as It seemed desirable to reach, in short, aid ing them in every way that lay within their power. Nearly a fortnight passed In apparently faultless search ; not altogether fruitless, however, since every day's wandering paved the way toward the object which our officers had ultimately In view. So they groped onward patiently—now In the gam ing houses, now la the barrooms and drawing rooms of rebel-haunted houses of entertainment, now here and then there; indeed, making themselves almost übiquitous, until at the opening of the third week they struck the hail of the rebel Ceptain Bell and a party of his satellites. Bell was flourishing at a fash ionable Canadian hotel, under the pseudonym of Baker; but, unluckily for him, them were loyal citizens of the United States at his elbow who knew him too well, and they contrived a plan to get him over the line, and then, dissemblance being no long er necessary, they revealed their knowledge, and de livered him into the hands of Detective Young and tits assistants The apprehension of Captain Bell was followed In a Mel Buie by the rapture of three other rebels, one of whom is known to have been engaged in the at tempt to burn our hotels on the night of November The prisoners were found passing under names which they had mammal for the occasion ; but their real names arc known, and are to be given to the public whenever General Dix shall have made other arrests which the capture of these rebel ends caries has rendered necessary. A general court-martial is to be convened lIIILIM dIAwir, at Fort Lafayette, to be composed as follows: i'resident—Brig.-Genersl Fitz Henry Warren, C.S.A.; Brig.-General Wm. H. Morris, C. S. V.; Col. M. S. Howe, Third U. B. Cavalry ; H. Day, U. S. A.; Brevet Lie% Col. B. F. O'Brine, Fourteenth U.S. In fantry ; Major G. W. Wallace, Sixth U. S. Infantry; Major John A. Bowles, Judge Advocate. Our detective policemen have learned from credi ble sources that the number of Incendiaries who were employed by George N. Sanders to apply the torch to our hotels, was not no great as has been supposed only six persons having been engaged to that hazardous and diabolical plot; and of these the police force foul sure of capturing live at least. Should our otlimrs catch them, add make a clear case before a court martial, they could expect nothingshort of the gibbet, and that with but limited opportunity for prayer.—N. Y. Times. Everette Career. Edward Everett was born at Dorchester, Massa chusetts, on the 12th of April, 1704, and was the son of Oliver Everett, who bad been both a clergyman and a judge. At an early age he had for a tutor no less a peronage that Daniel Webster, who prepared tilm for college. In 1807, when only thirteen years of age, he entered Harvard College, and very soon took a position as one of tire most brilliant and suc cessful ol the students. Fie edited the college Jour nal—the Ilarrarci Lyceum—and graduating In tall, was engaged as a tutor In the college. In 1813, a hen but nineteen years of age, he was appOinted pastor of the Brattle dtreet Church, and a year later wrote a reply to a theological and skeptical work by George B. English. Iti 1815 having been appointed Prolmsor of Greek in Ilarmuld, he went to Europe to prepare himself for the tion, and besides travell. log through Great Britain and the continent, ming ling with the most eminent men in letters and sci ence, devoted two years to study at Gottingen. Returning to America, Mr. Everett assumed his duties as Greek professor, and until 1824 also bad charge of the North Aron-Mtn Retire. In that year also he again made a mark as au orator la a lecture on " American Literature," at which Lafayette Inas present. to lstli also he was elected to Congress, in which body be served for ten years, being must of the lime a member of the Committee ou Foreign Affairs. in Congress he wan not merely a brilliant but a Very useful member. lie spoke often, arid always With ability, and during all ibis period he did not neglect literary labor. 18'04 ho was elected Governor of Massachusetts, and was three times re-elected.

After desperate fighting, gaining foot by foot, and severe loss, by Ii P. st., we bad possession of about half the land trout. Abbott's Brigade was then ta ken from our line facing Wilmington, and put into Fort Fisher, and on pushing It forward, at 10 P. w.. it took the rest of the work with little resistance— the garrison failing back to the extreme of the pe ninsular, where they were followed and captured, among others Gen. Whiting and Col. Lamb, both wounded. I think we have quite 1,000 prisoners. I hope our loss may not exceed 500; but it Is impos sible to judge In the night Among the wounded are the Commanders of the three leading brigades; Gen. Curtis being wounded; not severely; but Cols. Fennypacker and Bell dangerously. The land front was a formidable one, the parapet to places, fourteen or fifteen text high; but the men went at it nobly, under a severe musketry fire. The marines and sail ors went up gallantly; but the musketry fire from the east end of the hind front was so severe that they did not succeed In entering the work.

All the sick of Gen Sherman`s army are In good hospitals at Beaufort and Hilton Head, where Grego. Mal climate affords advantages for recovery superior to any other place. The peace and order prevailing at Savannah since its occupation by Gen. Sherman. could not be Sur passed. Few male inhabitants are to be seen on-the streets. Ladles and children evince a sensMof :seem rity. No instance of disorder, or personal injury, or insults has occurred. Laboring men and meehanles, white and Neck, are seeking employment. The troops era cheerful and respectful toward every one, and seem to feel themselves as ranch at home and on good behavior as if in their native towns. Trade is restricted, for the present, to actual mili tary necessity. Many at with merchandise from the North are waiting at Hilton Head for permission to go to Savannah, but Gen. Sherman has admitted only a limited quantity of supplies required by Ms troops. A mistake prevails at the North as to the present inducements for commerce at Savannah. There is not yet any large population to be supplied, no cred it, no money, no commodities ofexcbange, and there Can he no great amount for a considerable period. All the cotton and products now within Savan nah belling to the Government, as captured property. Stringent precautions against supplies that might go to the enemy have been made, and will be en , forced by Gen. Sherman. The cotton captured In Savannah, of which. there isa good deal of Bea Island, has bean turned over by the , quartermaster to M. Draper, Special Agent of the 1 masury.

To kill one of them is cer tain death if discovered. On one occasion two Ware killed at Andersonville, and the authorities, not be ing able to find those who committed the act, placed the carcases of the dogs, outside the dead line. In the brook which supplied the romp with water, and allowed them to rot there hundreds of our ofR cern and men harp been chased by these dogs. They are kept at all the guard stations and picket posts throughout the South; and, especially at the ferrite and fords of the ricers, are used to hunt both our men and.dessrters from the rebel army. We have space only for one case of a bloodhound chase. The parties who had escaped were privates Crummil and Harris, of the 9th Illinois Cavalry ,• Martin Cloes, 3d Illinois, and Patterson, of the 2,1 New York. Two of these soldiers were eighteen years old, one twenty, and one only seventeen. Tiler were chased by Ili teen dogs, in charge of some twenty men. One man, finding the dogs close upon them, and no chance of escape presenting Itself, climbed on the porch of house and waited till the party came up. Enraged that their thirst for Yankee blood had not beengrati• fled, they land, Crtimmil come down to them, then knocked him on the head with a musket, formed ring, put the dogs In It, and threw him to them.— He seas terribly torn, and soon after died. Harris and Clews were treated the same way, and badly torn. Patterson,who was a mere boy, knelt down and pray ed these human Rends not to let the dugs tear blm; but to no purpose. He was forced down, and on no. dcrtaklng to regain the porch was kicked in the lace, all his front teeth broken out and ho rendered insen sible, and In that state thrown into the ring. The dogs had satiated themselves with blood, and refused to touch hint. This is only a single case of many which could be related." dew Nvertioemtuto. BOOK BINDING. m atZ . 4NA riaarrParan.
