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 evfry sldo but (he water front; a stockade running from the Cqounterscarn of the north front to the fStetfs edge.

After general terms 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.

Governor Fenton, In his message, makes the fol lowing suggestions and recommendations: After referring to our nubile oharaeter, he sayß of the claims ef disabled soldiers, that they may right fully demand our sympathy an d ald in the-namo of that patriotism which Inspired the sacrifices that deprived them of their natural protection', and says It will be his special aim to give the existing insti tutions in their behalf the greatest efficiency. On banking and ourrenoy he favors the reorganization of our banks under the national currency act, and Intimates that he will Blgn the bill for the change, which failed of Executive approval last year. ■ There was a deficiency In the revenue of the gene ral fund, on the 30th of September, 1861, of $863,814. 67, which Was $340,000 less than the deficiency lh September, 1803, The proceeds of the State tax, levied In 1883, and payable during the last fiscal year, were $6,143,. 704.03, inclusive of the three quarter mill tax for school purposes. The canal debt, on September so, 1864, was $22,307,010.26, with an annual Interest of $1,290,262.76. The canal debt has been reduced In the last four years $4,779,611.23. . He Is opposed to borrowing money to pay the in terest on the public debt, and discusses aud showa the great wealth and promising prospects of the State. He introduces favorably a proposed application In behalf of the Agricultural College. He renews GovernorSeymonr’s recommendation for an amend ment, of the Constitution so as to create a Court of Commissioners of Appeals, and calls especial atten tion to the soldiers’ voting-law, the object of which he heartily approves, but Is convinced that In Its practical operations it is liable to great abuses, which may, however, he checked by proper amend ments. A large portion of the message Is devoted to mili tary matters, embracing statistics, a statement of the bounty andreoruitlng system, which la-autho rized, with an examination of the State miutla-’oon dltion, and a reference to the defenoeiof our borders. The other topics In the message are the, codification of the laws, the Metropolitan Police, the Central Park, the system of Immigration, the State prisons, the census, education, the elective franchise, loosi legislation, and tbeeoonomy and general considera tions of .the state of the country. - 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. __ CiMEMIi HEWS* True Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have erected a magnificent depot at Baltimore, which the journals or that city claim to be the finest In the conntry. There Is eyery convenience, both for the offieersand the passengers. . Tbk annual report of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of Maryland shows that there are at pre sent 10.114 members in the jurisdiction, and that the sum of $81,791.14 has been expended within the year for the relief of widows and orphans and other cha rities. The fine hall oh North Gay" street contains two libraries, having on their shelves nearly 17,000 volumes of miscellaneous works. A SiwennAß Aooidbht.—A shacking accident," resulting in a loss of life, happened at the toll-gate about one mile west of Middletown, Orange county, N. Y., on the 18th. The roof of the shed which covers the road at that place, on aoeorfut bl the : heavy pressure of snow upon it, foil through as Mrs. Toulon, wife of the gate keeper, was receiving the toll from Col. J. C. Holley, The beams of the falling building struck them both, and several beams fell across them, nearly orushlng them. Mrs. Toulon received Injuries to such an extent that she died on Sunday morning. Col. Holloy, although not fatally, was badly Injured. As Immxksb Mail pbom Shbkman.— The mall from Sherman’s army, by the Arago, reached the New York Post Ofiloe at o’olook on Friday night, and the last letter of more than two hundred thou sand was despatched by the Erie line at the next afternoon. The stamps not having been cancelled this l&borwas necessarily performed In the' N. Y. Post-Office, and employed fifteen men thoroughout the night and up to noon-on Saturday. -Twenty men were required to sort the letters. This Is the largest’mall that the N. Y. Post Office ever re ceived. , Navigation- .op thb Amazon.—A most Import ant discovery, far more so than that of the alleged source of the Nile, has just been made in South America. It is that .the great river Amazon has been found to be navigable from one end to the other; that, in- fact, a'new route, has been‘opened between the Atlantic and the Pacific, The Morona, 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 FOTTR CENTS.
