WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 18G5, HEAVY FIRING AND AN EXPLOSION HEARD NBAR WILMINGTON—WHAT IT MEANS—WILMINGTON IN NRW DANGER—LOBB OF A PHILADELPHIA VB3. SSL—MORE HIGHLY IMPORTANT EXTRACTS FROM BEBICL PAPERS —AN ASTOUNDING EDITORIAL FROM THH AUGUSTA CONSTITUTIONALIST—AO - OF THB REBEL DOWNFALL, [Special Correspondence of The Frees. ] On Wednesday night last, about midnight, two heavy explosions were very distinctly heard in New born, at Baohelor’s Oreelr, and some fifteen miles above the latter point. The sound appeared to bo more distinct further interior than at Newborn. The explosions are supposed to have been at Wil mington. Ido not know whether the locality has been guessed aright, but give the item for what it is worth. I extract the following from the Raleigh Confede rate of Monday last: “At three o’clock yesterday Information reached Raleigh that the enemy were advancing on Kins ton in foroe, and were distant only about ten miles. Seven o’clock yesterday morning, after some con siderable skirmishing, they had advanced to within one mile of our works. We await the result with muoh anxiety.” The Kinston correspondent of the Goldsboro Journal, says: . ' “ The enemy numbered about one thousand, and consisted of portions of the IB2d Now York and 16th Massachusetts Infantry, three companies of the 12th New York Cavalry and one seetlon of Brnoo’s New York Light Artillery, all under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hitchcock, of the 182 d New York Infantry. They went within two miles of Kinston, where they encountered a portion of the 8d North Carolina Cavalry, commanded by Lieu tenant Colonel Beard, and a section of Cummings’, battery, all commanded by Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Starr. The easualties on our side are three men of the cavalry captured and one wounded, none killed. Lieutenant John B. Wooten, of Captain Foy’s company, captured a Yankee cavalryman, his horse and aeoontrements, and brought them In.” WRECK OF A PHILADELPHIA VESSEL. QIBBS’ Late arrivals from the North Carolina, coast bring the following interesting particulars relative to the Joss of the schooner “ Robert Corson,”, of Philadel phia. She left Philadelphia about the middle, of December for Fortress Monroe, where she safely ar rived, and immediately sailed for tho Cape Fear river. On Monday, the loth of December, the wind changed from southwest to south, twenty miles off Cape Fear i soudded before theWlnd until 9 A.M. Tuesday, and not being far enough in to the wind ward to dear Cape Lookout Shoals, she ran aoross them, striking three times. It blowing a gale, and. not being able to keep to the windward, the schooner ran aorosß Diamond Shoals on Wednesday night. A sea knocked off her taffrall, stove in her cabin, and carried away her wheel, so that Bhe -be came unmanageable.’ Accordingly, tho anchors were let go in twelve fathoms of water. She remained at her anchors for some time, when she hoisted the signal of distress in her rigging. A schooner passed her, but paid no attention to tbe signal. A steamer, supposed to be a privateer, Area three guns and sailed away. At 9 o’olook she went down, and the captain and steward were drowned. The survivors ollmbed to the mast-head, where they remained until 10 o’cloGk Friday morning, when. they were taken off by the IT. S. transport Prome theus, and brought into Morehead City, on Satur day. The following is a Complete list of her crew: Joseph Camp, master, lost; Robert M. Cornwall, steward, lost; John High, mate, saved; He ary Ohaye became delirious, jumped into the sea, and was drowned; Alexander Corson, saved; Jeremiah Hampton, saved. This is the sixteenth vessel lost off the North Carolina coast during the last month, A copy Of the Augusta Constitutionalist of the 23th, Which I have in my possession, contains the follow, tag order. There are no names attached to the or der, bnt the places for signatures arc loft blank: “ Headquarters, Regiment, ’ “ December 20,186*. - “ General Oedees No. 36.—The Colonel com manding regrets, the necessity which urges him to reprove the practice, recently Indulged by officers of this command, of appearing on evening parade tricked out in all the gaudy paraphernalia, of a masquerade—sporting on such occasions favors, rosetteß, and lanoy tobacco pouches, whereas the ‘rules and articles of war ’ require only the uniform, sash, and sword. Such evidences of vanitv 111 be come a nation bowed to the earth by debt and poverty as we are, and he takes this cooasion to state that snob femes will no longor be tole ratoa “ Hereafter any officer ’infringing this order will be placed under attest,-and if tbe error is repootcd. will be proeoeded against for violation cf orders. “ By command of Colonel . “ , Acting Adjutant.” Tlxs Georgia Constitutionalist of the saihe date' has a most significant editorial, from which l ex tract the principal portion lor your publication. Yon will recollect that this Is one of the ablest papers In the Southern States: “Great God, what are we coming to 1 Is man dying for lack of the common Instincts, of patriot ism 1 Is Gen. Sherman to march over and trample ns beneath his feet as we formerly did onr menials I Wake up, slumberers, or forever acknowledge the defeat which will certainly await yon. In the Di vine rescript of God to man, It Is. written that the thing that has been shall be; that which has been done shall be done, and that there is no new thing under the sun. The experience of every day, and the great anomaly of lift, man, prove the word (if the gnalnt preacher Ecclesiastes. Since communi ties have been organized there has been no change In the animal Instincts of man, and there never will be. The Intellectual and spiritual nature can be developed, enlarged, and beautifully refined, but his animal appetites and loves are the same thing they were three thousand years ago. Moreover, the some means which accomplished the desired objects will to-day accomplish them ; and the same thought and exeontion which centuries since thrilled the mind and made glad the heart, will to-day pass In their eternal round, mlfilllngtheir ends and making up their world’s history. The present perilous situa tion of affairs has led us to this musing, in the trust ful hope that all Is not had which seems so. We have beefi seeking In onr own mind to discover the good. The present campaign is a great study; It requires thought and reflection, not conclusions ar rived at through the blind and ’unthinking hate of the partisan or fool—not such conclusions as Gover nor Joseph E. Brown finds— that«n of sophomoric lent partisan proclamations—but the calm conclusions and thoughts of the good and the braVe, the hopeful and the unwhtpped. Here, as elsewhere through out our land, there are many anxious hearts and wistful ears, and the slightest rumor from either front makes.the blood come quicker and the heart beat faster, and for a few days past, with ns par ticularly, the movements of the armies on the Chat tahooohle, and those of Sherman and the force In North Carolina, have caused a painful solloltude. The questions which we hear most frequently on the streets to-day are, Will Mobile fain and Can Wil mington hold outl We cannot disguise the fact that we will be In a terrible way should either of these places be lost-to our arms.- There Is no use’of our feeding on fog; It may blind our eyes, but It cannot strengthen our bodies. Home, whose history of a thousand years Is almost-the history of the world Tor the same period, fur-’ niehes an illustration of Bee’s ana Hardee’s entrenched retreats, which most approaches the movements and fighting of the two great generals during the campaign. In the year One Hundred and Two, before the Christian era, the Imperial City, that mistress of the world, was suddenly brought to realize a fact which astonished her proud people—the fact that even Italy and Home were not secure from Invasion, and that by an almost un known race of barbarians. The restless Germans were migratory I and they came In numbers which made the vaunted Homan legions insignificant. Af ter a series of engagements for more than two years of bloody war, the Homans were retiring on all sides ’ from the advancing hosts. Many of-her generals had been defeated, and Home was alarmed. There was then what was termed for ages afterwards among them the “ Oimbrian Panic.” Her- last hope was centred In Marius and his two armies, as much as the hope of the Oonlederaoy la establish ed in the two armies of Bee and Hardee. Marlas confronted the enemy but fought no great battle; the Germans flanked him, but he successfully eluded them- Be said to his soldiers :" You fight now for existence, not for trophy,” And with this admonition he fell upon the enemy, and victory, unequalled in the annals of war, crowned his arms. The actions of Bee, and especially those ol Hardee, find a parallel in that of Marias. We are fighting, for what the Homans fought, against a ruthless people, who oome with fire and sword, leaving deso lation in their pathway, coming for the same ob jects, to ocoupy and appropriate our lands. In truth, the illustration will hold good still further. We are branches of the, same'people. For while the majority of our people and the controlling blood of the South Is Bom&n, or Gallic, or Norman, that or the enemy Is almost entirely Germanic la its origin: Yea, the same harsh guttrual sound that astonished the polite Homans, as It emerged from the wild 'fo rests of the Bhlne, Is heard to-day In the ranks of the enemy, who are so esmlUnglypressing on to Vie vtiij border of our land. Will Georgians respond under such circumstances 1 We fear that many of our people at home do not appreciate the action of Genera! Hardee. But if there ever was wisdom in the policy of saving the lives of your soldiers, when it is very difficult to supply their places, even with new recruits, and of only fighting when everything painted to victory, there is wisdom in it now. Our part of the war is defence ; thatof the enemy conquest. The enemy have all the world to draw recruits from; we depend upon bravery, patriotism, and long suffer ing pf our own people. We must retreat then until victory iswithin our reach. Httreats are but Burned leading to success. Our armies must be kept together and unsubdued if we are reduced to the area of A. sin gle State.” There Is no important news from the front to-day General Granfcleft yesterday for City Point.’ ' F.

Files of Baloigh, Charleston, Augusta, and Rich mond papers, of all dates, from the Ist to the 7th, have been received. They contain no news, not even from Sherman who is naturally exciting so muoh attention in Charleston and Augusta. There are, however, some interesting items connected with recent operations among which Is the fol lowing: ■ CONGRATULATORY ORDER TO THE REBEL TROOPS AT WILMINGTON. Headquarters Dbf t. op Worth Carolina, Wilmington, Deo. 29,1864. The commanding general desires to congratulate the officers and men engaged In the recent ope rations near this place on their successful termi nation. One of the most formidable expeditions yet organized by the enemy—an imposing force of vete ran troops, supported by a fleet carrying over five hundred guns, has accomplished no other object than a fruitless landing on a barren coast, followed In fortyelght hours by a hasty re-embarkation. Tbls auspicious result is due, under a merciful Providence to tbe Bklll of Major General Whiting, who planned the defences at the mouth of Cape Fear, to tbe gallantry and endurance of Colonel Lamb and the brave garrison of Fort Fisher, under his immediate command, worthily seconded by Lieutenant Chapman, of the navy, and his devoted seamen, serving battery Buchanan, and the steady coolness with which Brigadier General Kirkland, 1 * with aipart of his brigade, checked the advanoe of' vastly superior numbers of the enemy.

Gen. THE YANKEE OONOILIArORY POLICY IN SAVANNAH. ; We have already punished the proceedings of the meeting held In Savanmh, whtoh passed a series of resolutions of a highly.factflc and sensible charac ter. These resolutions have some to the notloe of the Richmond journals, and, of course, they are condemning them In totb, with all the fierceness of of a recondite and excised diction. The Augusta correspondent of the Examiner of the 7th thus dis courses ■ l Gen. Sherman Is trymdan experiment on Savan nah. HO,Is permitted to sk least begin With elemon c and moderation—but on two conditions: First. Neither he nor hlB Government is bound by any present concessions, nor bound to continue the In dulgence >one day or hour; longer than they find it expedient? fieconu. Gearys provost guard Is to keep gcodhyfßtoh and tfaid, so as to prevent any thing vaputble -from beidg oarrled away by Its owner IK the meantime the are willing to try whether they, can get the principal city of Georgia to accept their rule with sene show of oontantuient, whereby tgey may graduallsidetaoh the other towns oj ihe siaffi flrom ihß.uonftdoraey. Yet, even In these firsttuftys of the experiment of kindness the mhabltantffsra sufficiently Warned of what any given morihg may, bring upon them. If Yankee ; vessels on tah Savannah river are fired upon, all the Savannah are to be ordered out of the olty, asWJie Atlanta people were. In short, If the city of Savannah be found a serviceable base of operation debauching the State, then, and so long, the rydple will be eufiered to dwell in their own houses Hfcdßr.negro, guards. Meanwhile, as a Yankee coigßpocdentsays,] “ the plate and linen are safe as Mg strong -box ’’—that Is, Bafe for the Yankee o< ng&eror For the present they are only • lOndlng the Bople tpeir own. h rases and their own goods, and Tjpverv citizen holds his existence on Bnffrance. This Sherman, it will not be forgotten, Is the same who wrote the fetter of instructions to his adjutant general on tht way in whioh he was to deal with the Inhabitants of any district over run by Yankee troops. “ Rebels” oiyn nothing all they have is forfeited eyen their lives; If pen milted to ilvo. It Is only thalthey may repent, and that, while repenting, they, may Be made useful to the cause of the Union itherwise it would be a mercy to them to pnt them 'all suddenly to death. On the whole Georgia campaign has beemoonducted until this day. The citizens cf Atlanta-were ordered to quit their homes and wafiaertato-the wilderness, that Atlanta might beta mere .military post. Seven or eight towns were bumeden the march. Sherman, spread tag out his army over a, space of sixty miles, plundered everything as he went, “ Before him was ruin, behind him wreck,” and there lay, smoking Car and ■‘Wide, 11 the ‘ broad track of deso lation.”. With whatpurpose, then, has he permitted the citizens of Savannah, for certain days, to live in their own 1 houses and dine with their own forks, whioh are all forfeited, as well as their lives 1 It is a treacherous baliftq.deaden the spirit of resistance in other places. Until it be seen whether it ans wers this , purpose, the plunder and depopulation of Sa vannah are postponed. Of the forty thousand inhabitants of Savannah there are at least “seven teen” who, promptly lend themselveß to the promo tion of Sherman’s objects. They ask at once whe ther they can be of any use, and are bidden to hold a meeting and pare resolutions of submission. They do so with alaority."Mayor Arnold calls the “ seven teen” to order ; and they speedily resolve—first, that they accept Lincoln’s terms—peace on laying down their arms and-submitting to the “nat:ona! authority;” “leaving all questions to be adjusted by legislative conference and votes.” Here they might have stopped ; this is all Mr. Lincoln wants; submission first, and then legislation, courts, and votes might be trusted to secure to the victors all the rest. But the seventeen have some more to say, In order, as It .were, to exhibit their good feeling and the zeal with which they enter upon their new career of conquered vassals. The second resolu tion is, “to bury all bygones in the -grave.” Truly, the. people of Georgia who have bean burnt out,-tbe women of Georgia who have been ravished, the families of Georgia children who are. now pining: for bread; are all very much obliged to them for; this liberal sentiment. Georgian sol diers! who haveistoodisido by side with Virginians and Carolinians on so many bloody fields, for the honor and sovereignty of your State, and for the se curity of theye very seventeen slaves—you whohare trudged through the snojrs of four winters, and ironted the 1 tempest Of a hundred battles, while those seventeen weresleeptag soft andjeedtag high, and speculating higher, know now that you are “ bygones;” if not already “ buried la ■ the grave,” tbe sooner you are buried the better. The seven teen are in a hurry to bury you themselves. As you stand now, with .arms In your hands, do you not perceive that you.are disturbing the era of good leellng i Another resolution requests Governor Brown to call a Convention of the State, to vote on tho question of war orpeaco—that is, on the ques tion of submission to tbeir enemies or resistance; the question of being free citizens or subjugated vassals; and it is very clear how such a Convention would vote If It were composed or suoh folk as the seventeen. After all, notwithstanding the state ment or the gentleman trom Savannah, who stagey In an Augusta paper that omp seventeen persons attended the meeting, ltjs highly probable that a muoh larger number of persons was present. There, are In savannah enough .of news, Englishmen, and Yankees, beside otfior foreigners, to make seven times seventeen: and as for the Mayor, and the few other real citizens of the place who attended, they, no doubt, are among- the fattest, sleekest, richest people of the town, having good wines In their cellars, valuable lots In the city, and planta tions in tbe sea Islands If they see presented to them a chance of saving these good things, what to them Is the independence of their State trampled under loots the biood of their fellow-citi zens poured out on the cold hi is of Virginia; their own personal honor lying a bleeding 7 For what is honor i A word. Who hath it ! He that died a ■Wednesday. Bury the bygones in the grave. After all, we believe that Savannah or any othercity to the Confederacy would be wrenged and calumniated If suchia meeting as this were taken as the true re presentation of Its spirit. The thing comes through the Loyal Georgian, a new paper, whioh a military officer, having seized a newspaper office, Is publish ing under orders of Sherman. Of Course, no Ooiy federate newspaper can now be published In that olty, no Confederate word uttered. In the churches last Sunday there were prayeis lor the Confederate Government; next Sunday there will be prayers for Its enemies. Every man must say and swear, and pray and stag exaotly as he is bidden; must clothe himself with lies and hypocrisy; mast curse all that he blessed, and bless all that he Cursed; must pub licly denounce his own children as rebels and trai tors, and must feel himself the most abject of the human race. No matter; Ms house Is not pillaged yot by Sherman; Geary’s provoßt guard has not yet driven him forth to perish In the wilderness. Every day he is spared he gains twenty.four hours of easy life, If he does not damn his own soul. JUSTICE TO BHERMAN. Some of the rebel journals have still left some of that manliness which should always be one of the attributes of the press. They are printing an em phatic denial [of the outrages with whloh some of their contemporaries have charged Sherman’s army, which reads: Eepobtbd OtJTBAaES ox Sheehan.—The editor of the Fayetteville observer has seen a letter from a clergyman in Savannah, written three days before the evacuation of that place. In whloh he was re quested to oorreot the story of, T ankeo outrages on ladles in MHledgevtlle whilst Sherman held that place. The writer had been assured by General Wayne that he had letters from ladies in MUledge ville stating that: no such violence had been at tempted ; and that Gen. Beauregard,;who was there after Sherman, has Btated that it was not true that such atrocities had been committed. The writer says that the story false, Intended to excite public feeling against the enemy. He na turally concludes that a contradiction will relieve those who have friends to Savannah. It is one or the disgraceful Incidents of this amazing march of Sherman through Georgia, that the world has been treated to lies ol all sorts by the people of that State. Besides the newspaper statements of these, outrages, we had. Bays the Observer , verbal as surances of their truthfulness such as led us to be lieve them unhesitatingly. It is due to truth that they should either be absolutely established by the Georgia press, or as absolutely contradicted. HABKISISUBG.

V [Special Correspondence of The Press.] Habbisbhbg, January 10,1885,. The.adjournment of the Legislature, from Wed nesday until Tuesday of this week, Induced several of the heads of Departments to leave the city. The Governor also went as far as New York, but re turned last night. The Secretary of State pre ceded him a few hours. The members have nearly all returned, and It is to be‘hoped will now enter upon the duties they were elected to perform, and for which they are paid, with an alacrity and zeal which will earn them the praise of their constitu ents. ’ Col. James Chamberlin, the Pennsylvania mili tary agent at Nashville, arrived here last evening. He brought with him to Pennsylvania the bodies of the lamented Captain McCormick and Surgeon Shirk, 1 of the 7th Cavalry, who wore so brutally murdered a few days Binoe In the Southwest by guerillas. He also brought the last remains of Dr. Freeman, of Orange, New Jersey, who died recent ly, sifter a few hours’ illness. Dr. Freeman had for some months been In charge of one. of the largest army hospltalß In Nashville, and .was universally respected.' Col. Chamberlin returns immediately to Tennessee, to resume his duties. • Col. James O. Biddle, of. Philadelphia, and a member of General Meade’s staff, still retains con trol of the transportation and telegraph depart ment, but his occupation will only be temporary, as he is ordered to report at Philadelphia, to General Oadwalader. During the last year that department expended in the transmission dt. telegrams $6,420.30, and for transportation of soldiers (slek and wounded, recruits for the State Guard, and others), $18,639 87; $4,022.83 were also expended for freight, including that of‘bodies of deceased officers and soldiers. From the first of January to the first of December permits for 266 bodies were issued from the office In this city, and 469 from the military agent at Washington. The State Librarian reports that during tbe year he has expended nearly twelve hundred dollars in the purchase of books. There are about forty thou sand volumes In tbe library, and as the number Is Increased every year by the addition of numerous well-Beiected works, Pennsylvania bldg fair ere many years have elapsed to have as large and a much better assorted catalogue than New York. Our library, however, can never present a credit able appearance until more space Is given to the librarian in which to arrange his volumes, and it is, therefore, a subject of rejoioing to know that when the projected addition to the Capitol is completed a large apartment will be set apart for the reception of. books. The second volume of the catalogue will soon be ready. It will be about the size of the first volume, whioh was published five or six years ago. The hotels and boarding-houses In Harrisburg are, of ooutse, doing a flourishing business. The mem bers of the Legislature generally are living at the former—Philadelphia being represented more par ticularly at tbe Jones House, Bubbler House, and the now hoßtelry, the ” Lochiel,’.*JAUeghonyßounty has its‘dignitaries at the United States, and the other counties have their representatives so uttered around’ the olty, receiving at private or public tables for a slightly advaneed consideration their dally bread. Ofoourse, when the Legislature is In cession, the population of Harrisburg Is Increased by the addition of a large number of persons who oome hither as permanent or incidental borers, and of many others who oome merely to “see the show,” the same as they would to view the performers at a olrous or the curiosities of a museum. These swell the host until the books at the hotels show lists of arrivals equal ir not excelling those of the Continental and Girard. In four days of last week your correspondent oounted sixty names at the Lochiel, eighty at the Jones, and a few less than three hundred at the United States. Rob Roy.
