WASIIEs:GTON, Jan. 25.—Thc S a ar says: Dispatches received here state that on yesterday morning, at two o'- clock, a rebel fleet of five vessels, the Richmond squadron, so long being pre pared, came down the river to destroy our depots, but were disappointed. The high water caused by the freshet enabled them to pass the obstructions which our commanders had placed above City Point for the better protection of . that place. A battle quickly ensued between the rebel fleet and our nearest battery or fort, in which one of the rebel vessels was blown up and instantly destroyed, while two others were so badly damag ed by shot .arid shell as to compel them to make speedy tight back in the direc tion of Richmond, accompanied by the other two which escaped damage.

Naw YORK, Jan. 29,—The Richmond Enquirer of the 26th says : The mission o f lion. Francis P. Blair to Richmond is ended by the return of that gentleman to Wash- 1 ington yesterday morning. Nothing has been accomplished toward an immediate peace. We feel justified in assuring our readers that the enemy are willing to per , mit us to dictate our own terms, 'provided we will not dissolve the Union ; guarantee for Slavery, and any constitutional amend ment for its protection and extension ; full compensation in greybacks for all negroes car ried off during the war; anything and every thing that we can ask or think will be grant ed if we only consent to remain with them. These may not have been exactly Mr. Blair's terms, but they embrace the sub stance of his mission, and do not in the least exaggerate the extremity in which the enemy are willing to concede to ns if we will only return to the Un;on. Bat these terms cannot purchase our liberty. We are not fighting for slavcrv. neither for its pro tec;ion or extension. We are willing to give rp slavery for our liberty ; we intend to he independent and free or to be exterminated. The enemy might as well abandon the effort to bribe us with the protection for slavery, and out of our liberty. We admit that there are a few recreant wretches in these States who would sell their liber ties for their negroes, but they aro few and utterly contemptible. Resolutions may be introduced into a legislature looking to reconstruction, but they Fiiii be rejected with a unamnity which will forever damn these traitors who have sought to bring shame and disgrace upon the fair name of our State. It would be most mortifying to see any such resolutions introduced, and we do earnestly hope that good sense nay prevent their being offered. This second mission of Mr. Blair is the best evidence we can de sire that our people have only to be true to themselves and we shall soon rejoice in the enjoyment of our liberty and independence. There is a compromise which may yet open the way to peace. It has been suggested that the United States will acknowledge cur independence, providing the treaty of com merce and league, offensive and deffensive, fur the publication of the Monroe doctorine to all the State of North America, can be agreed upon. When that proposition is made it will be time enough to discuss it. It is not improbable but that it may become the living tangible proposition before many months. The Sent has an article in the same tone as the Enr i and says : The only reason given to Mr. Blair was to make his proposition formally and officially and he would get a reply. The same palter has an editorial urging Jeff. Davis t 9 act with the people, and as sures htin that he is very nnpopnlar. It say a: The effect of our misfortunes is directly traceable to the prevailing opinion of mis management and incompetency on the part of the e.x.,:cu•ive authorities. There is at this moment uncaluirocal manifestations of the want of confidence in the sagacity, dis cretion and capacity of the Government, and to this want of confidence, and to the slightest, expectation of a removal ( f its causes, is owing the indisputable despond ency which is the .nost alarming feature of our condition. The same paper has an editorial on the mildness of the Government, and thinks they are allowing their leniency and kind ness nt heart to work thin great injury. It urges more sternness. Movement on Wilmington. REBEL WORKS SUPPOSED TO BE BLOB N UP. REMOVAL OF REBEL TORPEDOES. NEW YORK, Jan. 2-I.—The Thrall dispatches from Fort Fisher says : The naval fleet and the army commenced moving towards Wilmington oa the af ternoon of last Wednesday. There is yet no confirmation of the report that General Terry had occupied that place, but the day the movement connuenced an explosion in that direc tion was heard, and it was supposed that the rcbcls Ivcre blowing up the fortifications preparatory to. the evacua tion of the town. of tlay ffq Pflrll4 w arir nn 11,a ape in ear river had been occupied by the Union troops, who met with lit tle opposition. A chart of the river had boon found, showing where the rebels sunk the tor pedoes, and many of these had been taken up. A number planted in the ground above Fort Fisher had also been removed. Two gentlemen who were lately do ing business in Wilmington as mer chants, arrived in this city yesterday. They got outside the rebel lines when Fort Fisher was taken. They say the town was not well provided with works er troops. FROM SHERMAN. BEGIIIIIG OF GEAR CAMPAIGN THE MOVEMENTS OF SHERMAN A MYSTERY TO THE REBELS, MOVING ON CHARLESTON Capture of the City an Easy Matter Sherman's Opinion of Trading in Captur— eti Coast Cities. NEW YORK, Jan. 30—The World's Port Royal correspondent mentions the beginning of a new campaign, which will be brief but grand, and says ; The reputed and Mitimate object of their attention will probably create for them more prestige and glory than ~ the capture of one 'hundred ordinary cities. Every available soldier in Sherman's army has left Savannah, Beaufort and Port Royal. Their destination is still a mystery to the enemy, who continue to guess that no matter where they may be now treading they will eventu ally be seen in the vicinity of Charleston. General Sherman has not given a jhint of his programme, and his troops have evinced no curiosity in the matter. Deserters from Hardee's army reports that the enemy depend alm,st solely on the re sistance beyond the city to save, it from cap ture, and if our troops should march to the rear, their presence would be equivalent to its possession. A gentleman from New York writes to the World an account of an interview with Gen. Sherman, and gives the views of the latter. concerning the trade with cities. General Sherman said he behaved that whenever we can trade with captared cities we feed the rebels out of our own reaoarces, so they gain more-by knees. than we do by oar vic tories. lie would exclude trade from emerr , conVert 1; 7 - - ry s.

The opening of captured coasts cities to trade by the .

Thirty thousand dollars in gold has been put into his hands and he can have more if he wants it. Ills friends say he goes out, not simply for pleasure, but to prepare himself for the fu ture. great preparations are being made to give him a significant farewell. lle will be absent two years. Petroleum in Burmah Shaw Loc, a native of Burmah, who is studying at Lewisburg with a view to return as a inisionary to the land of his birth, is delivering a series of lec tures in Oil City and Titusville, on the oil wells of Burmah, and the processes in,use there to scctue the oil, of which they have long made great use. his lecture on this subject well shows the progress and power of American inven tion, for the Burmese have to dig large shaftshundreds of feet deep, down which men go by ladders, and bring up the oil on their backs in proper vessels ; while by.our deep pumps and steam engines nineteen-twentieths of the work is sav ed. It doubtless makes the rough min ers of the oil region open their eyes to be told that the Burman wells have been in use for centuries. And certain ly nothing could stronger mark the con trast between Burman civilization and ours than the want of the least, pro gress in their method of obtaining oil in that country compared with the in genious processes that they have . sprung by the hundred from the inventive brains of our never satisfied people.— We sincerely hope that when Shaw Loo returns to teach his countrymen the wonderful arts of this land he will not arouse such an excitement and specula tive mania as now 'threatens to drag within its vortex and overwhelm in rain the rest cetalilitc and stability of the country.—Chro.
