A Torpedo Exploded near the Fort, *Uw Yobs, December 20. —Admiral Porter’s foil- report of the operations against Wilinington is received from Navy Department It is dated on the 10th, off New Inlet on the 20th, from the flag ship Malvern. The folio wine is a digest of the report': The attack opened on the 24th with *“ e iron-dads and heavy vessels of the fleet, the smaller vessels being held in reserve. Previous to making the at* tack, a torpedo on a large scale,-snppo sea to contain powder enough to explode the magazines in the fort, was careful ly prepared under command of Commo flore A-C. Rhind, and exploded under the walls of the fort. So much bad been aaid about the terrible results of powder exploßiona recently, in England that great reaulta were expected from the experiment. The boat selected was the Louisiana; and after being prepared at Norfolk she waa towed round to Beau fort to be Ailed with powder. The Lou ijlana was dt-gulsed aa a blockade ran ner by-palnting her white and adding another smoke stack. Every prepara tioafor her success was completed at Beaufort. General Butler at the rendezvous previous to the con centration of the fleet, and every offort was made to have as brief delay as pos sible. On the 18tb, Admiral Porter sailed from Beauforkfor the rendezvous 20 miles east of New Inlet, and found’ most of the fleet, assembled there. On the 20th, a heavy gale sprang up, which the fleet managed to ride out without ac cident except in the loss of a few an chors. . The transports being short of water and not fitted for severe weather put into Beaufort and remained till the stbrm was over. On the 28d Commodore Rbind was ordered ready to explode his torpedo trader Fort Fisher. At 10:60 p. m. the Louisiana started in tow of the Wilderness. As soon as the embrasures of the fort were in sight the Wilderness cast off and proceeded under steam to within 200 yards of the beach and 500 from Fort Fißher, where she waa an chored, The b ockade ranner went in directly ahead of her, enabling Com modore Rhind to make all his prepara tions without suspicion. After every thing was ready the fuses were lighted and tjje party escaped to the Wilder ness, which immediately steamed out to sea. The explosion occurred at 1:46 on the morning of the 24th, and waa not at all like what was expected. The ves sels in the fleet were shaken but little. da J’ li K ht 1116 moved in and at 11:30. a. m. the attack commenced It Was opened in fine style by the New' Ironsides, followed by the Monadnock I Canonicua and Mahopac. Seventeen j guns were counted on the northeaat lace, but only five were used, which were soon Bilenced. The Sltnnesota and other large vessels next took position and delivered their file rapidly As scon as they opened the fire wbb ao se vere aa to drive the enemy to the bomb proofs, and they replied from only one or two guns. The smaller gunboats Jhen took position according to or ders and joined In the fight. In an hour and fifteen-minutes alter the fight began the enemy’s guns were complete ly silenced. Two magazines were I blown up and seven buildings set on flre. Oor fire was then slackened but ““iW npin hopes of attracting the attention of the transports with troops. , r. en r. .®. u^ er soon came with a few froopa and preparations were made for renewing the fight in the morning. Daring the heaviest of tne attack one hundred and fifteep shots per minute were fired. The enemy’s guns were si lenced so qnickiy that no one' on the fleet was injured by their fire. Six 100- pounder Parrott guns on the fleit ex ploded, killing and wounding, in an aggregate 44 officers and men, these were on Ticonderago, Vantic, Juniata Mackinaw, Quaker City and Susque hannab, were attributed to defective character of guns. The Mackinaw was perforated in boilers, and had 10 per sons badly scalded. The Oscola was struck near the magazine, but was saved through the exertions of her officers and crew. The Quaker City, Keystone State, Sassacns, Santiago De Cubs and Fort JacksoD, are specially mentioned Also the Brooklyn.

The officers and men cause out of ac tion with contempt for rebel artillery and were anxious to renew the fight on the morning of the 23th. The transports had arrived and a conference was held with Generals Bntler and Weitzel lo deo.de upon the place of attack, lit was decided that the fleet should renew the attack, while the army landed and made an assault. Seventeen gnn boats, under command of Captain Glesson, were sent to cover the landing of the troops. Other vessels were afterwards sent In and by using their small boats, troops were rapidly thrown on the shore Shelling was resumed at 7 a. m., on ihe 25th, the firing being quite slow with the design of amusing the enemy while the troops assaulted the lort, The enemy fired but few shots. The point of landing was five miles east of the fort. About 3,000 troops were landed and moved op to within 600 yards of Fort Fisher. One officer as cended the parapet and brought away the flag. A soldier led out a horse, killing the orderly riding him and brought-off his dispatch.

A detatchment ofgnnDoats was sent to find an entrance to ihe harbor, but the chan nel had been so changed that it was not discovered. Where the original channel existed there is now a thallow bar. Several of the officers are highly complimented. Among them are Commodore Bhind and Lieutenant Preston, who managed and exploded the torpedo boat, Louisi ana. It -is said they had deliberately arranged to blow up the vessel in case the rebels should take it by boarding.— The officers and men of the monitors are complimented for their patience in riding oat the'gale and ior gallantry in action.

Accompanying the report is a letter from General Butler and Admiral Por ter’s replv. General Butler says' that upon landing the troops and accoibpa. uying General Weilzel in a thorough reconooissanceof Fort Fisher, they were both of the opinion that the place could not be carried by assault, as it was left substantially uninjured by the fire from our navy. There were seven teen guns, protected by traversea, only two of them being dismounted, the bal ance bearing directly on the beach.— Prisoners captured say that Hoke’s di vision of Lee’s army army arrived at Wilmington on the night before the at tack.

As soon as the fire from the navy ceased at dark the fort was manned as fully as ever and open ed with grape and canister upon our picket. Nothing but the operations of n regular siege would serve to reduce the tort. These were not in aacordanco with instructions, and ss the weather came on Unfavorable, Gen. Butler gave orders for reembarkiDg. Gen. Butler’s engineers sustain his opinion that Fort Fisher was practical ly uninjured by the bombardment. Ad miral Porter, in reply to Gen. Butler’s letter, said that he bad ordered the large ships to, go to Beaufort for ammu nition and be ready to renew the attack in case of accident. He stated that they had not commenced to fire rapidly, and could keep all the rebels ont ol 'sight until the troops were within twenty yards of the fort. He was of opinion that an assault could be successfully made, but would not wish to place his judgment in opposition to that of Gen.
