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

The Caimaima papers are upon the" rampage."
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.

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

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

standard. The World is right.

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.

FORT Ftsiren, Monday, Jan. lti-2 A. as.
After a careful reconnoissance on the 14th it was
decided to risk an asiatilt on Fort Fisher Paine's
division With Col. Abbott'a brigade to hold our line,
already strong, across the peninsula, and facing WU.
mington against Hoke, while Ames' divialon should
assault on the west end. After three hours of heavy
navy firing, the assault was made at 8 P. m., on the
15th. Curtis' brigade led, and as sooner, it had made
a lodgment on the west end of the land front it wan
followed by rennypacker's and the latter by Bell's.
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. The navy tire
on the work, judging from the holes, musthave been
terrific_ Many of the guns were Injured. How
many there were on the point I cannot say, perhaps
thirty or forty.

The unwelcome news of the fall of Fort Fisher,

profound regret. The capture of this fort u eguinalent

Gen. Sherman renewed thrirnovinnent °IMP foicea
from Sartuanab, last week. The Fifteenth and:Sev•
enteenth Corps went in transports to Beaufort on
Sarardal, the 14th. The Seventeenth Corps, under
Major-Gen. Blair, crossed Port Boyal ferry, and, with
a portion of Gen. Foster's command, moved on Po:.
cotallgo. Gen. Howard, commanding that' wing„ of
the army, reported, on Sunday, 11th, thatthe enemy
abandoned his strong works in oar front daring Sat
urday night. Gen. Blair's corps now occupies a

position across the railroad, covering all ap
es eastward to Pocotallgo.
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.

A BLoonnorran CH tife..—TSe rebel practice of
chasing Union prisoners of war with bloodhounds is
thus Illustrated In a letter trout Sherman's army to
the Cincinnati aurae: " Our escaped prisoners are
hunted by bloodhounds. -These are kept at all the
pens for that purpose. 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."
