Mr. Greeley and the publishers, it is understood, were dis -pleessid at the - publioltion of the article. The next morning nearly all the City jour nals had .editorial articles upon the sub ject. The next point was to get the miscege nation controversy into , Congress. The bock, with its indorsements, was brought te the notice of Mr. Cox, of Ohio, (com monly soiled "Sunset Cox") and' he made an earnest speech on the subject. Mr. Wuhlsurne replied wittily, reading and commenting on extracta from a work by Cox, in whioh the latter deploredthe ex istence of the prejudice against the A.fri sans. A. : few days after, Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, replied very elaborately to Mr. Cox, bringing all his learning and historical research to bear , on the topic. It wu the subject of a .deal 'of talk in Washington afterward. Mr. Cox was charged by some of the more shrewd members of Congress 'with writing it. It was said that Mr. Surianer, on reading it, ilmediately pronounced it a hoax. Through the influence of the authors, a peraon'visited James Gordon Bennett, of the Herald, and spoke to him about "mis cegenation." Mr. Bennett thought the idea too monstrous and absurd to waste is article upon. "But," said the gentleman, "the Dem ormtie papers are all noticing it." "The Democratic editors are asses," said Bennett. "donator Cox has just rondo a speech in day's. on it." 1 "Cox is an ass," res pondedßennett.

"It will make a good handle against the radicals," said the other.

After ' that, the Herald kept up a regular fusill ade against the supposed miscegic pro tlivities octhe Republicans. And thus,' after all, Bennett swallowed the "crittur," horns. hoofs, tail and all, and people now ask, "Which is the ass f" . The authors even had the impudence to attempt to entrap Mr. Lincoln into an - indorsemerit of the work, and asked per mission to dedicate a new work on a kin dred subject, "lielalenkation," to him. Honest Old-Abe, however, who can see a joke, was not to be taken in so easily. About the time the book was first pub lished, Miss Anna E. Dickenson happened to lecture in New York. The authors here exhibited a great degree of acuteness and tact, as well as subliine impudence, in seising ttoe opportunity to have some small handbills, with the indorsement of the booki printed and distributed by boys among flee audience. Before Miss Dick inson appeared, therefore, the audience mem* gravely reading the miscegenation haridbill ; and the reporters, noticing it, °Stapled the facia in their report.. From this it went forth arid was widely- circala fed, that Miss Dickinson was the author. - Dr. Mackay, the correspondent of the London Times, in New York, was very decidedly sold, and hurled all manner of big words against the doctrine in his let ters to "The Thunderer ;" and thus "the leading paper of Europe," was, for the hundredth time during the 'American rebellioni decidedly taken in and done for.

Capture of Fort Fisher! The Most Gonda. and Interestlei Account Published. Prom the l'hihullelphla Deity Age.] Fort Fisher, , the work defending New Inlet, North Carolina, has been captured. It was taken on Sunday last, by a com bined land and naval expedition, under the command of Brevet Major, General Alfred H. Terry, and Rear Admiral David D. Porter: When Butler returned to Fort Fisher, alter the previous attack, he• brought his troops to• Fortress Monroe. Admiral Ported took the fleet, to Beau fort, 'Llorth Carolina. Here the vessels took coal and provisions on board, and prepared, for a second attack. When Butler VMS removed from command, Gen eral Terry was plUCed at the head oE the troops at Fortress,Monroe, and under or ders; from Washington, he at once sailed to B"aufort. At this port, en January Bth, all the land troops and ravy vessels were assembled, prepared for a second expedition against Wilmington. The land forces numbered about ,eight thous and men. The fleet contained nearly one hundred and fifty vessels. • On January 9tfi - , the combined expe dition sailed from Beaufort. . = The weath er was good and the sea smooth, and on January 11th, Last Wednesday, the fleet had all•arrived near Mosonboro Inlet, on the Atlantic coast, about thirty miles north east of Fort Fisher. The ships were at once prepared for battle, and the unfortunate experience of the previous attack =ado the movements of the lan d and naval forces harmonious. On Thurs day the first vessel 'of the fleet appeared off New Inlet, and on Friday morning 'fifty Federal vessels were in close proxim ity to Fort Fisher' At daylight the iron clads and frigates advanced to the attack, and at about eight o'clock the bombard- Mont was begun. The shelling rivalled that of the former attack in intensity, and was kept up all day. The fort seldotia replied, the storm of shells being too heavy for the men tolabor at their guns. About noon, under the protection' of a fleet of guriboats, preparations were made 'to land General Terry.'s troops. A strip• of woods on the beach', about three miles above Fort Fisher, was shelled, to drive the Confederates off, and the landing be* gan almost on the same spot where 13nt ler debarked two weeks before. The landing was unopposed, 'and during Fri day and Friday night Terry succeeded in getting his entire force of eight thousand men on shore. During all this time the bombardment of Fort Fisher continued. It was renew ed on Saturday with equal force, and , Ter 'ry began his preparations for an assault. A line of earthworks,_ was constritckk across the narrow 'beach, between; the ocean and Cape Fear river, and a portion of the Federal troops placed in them. These works faced the north, and were in tended as a protection against any assault which might be made by the Confederates, from Wilmington, upon the Federal rear during the attack upon Fort Fisher. Gen. Terry also began the construction pf works towards the south, to assist him while the:assault was being made. Dur ing all this time the bombardtdent of Fort Fisher by the fleet was kept up,. and scarcely a gun was fired in reply. Being thus uninterrupted, the Federal laboring parties progressed rapidly, and by noon on Saturday last, everything . was _':,ready for the attack. An assaulting column of infantry was at once sent forward against the northwestein angle of Fort Fisher. Another assaulting party, composed of sailors - and' marines, was advanced against the northeastern Ingle. At half-past three the infantry reached the fort, and after a long and bloody struggle isucceed ed in effecting a lodginent. The sailors and marines who cli.linced against the other angle, were tepulsed with heavy - loss. They were accordingly withdrawn, and sent to assist the infantry ;Column. Having effected a lodgment, the Feder al troops gradually worked their way alOtig the ramparts, driving the Confed erates from one bomb-proof and traverse to another until, at ten &clot* in the evening, the entire fort was captured and the garrison driven out. General Whit ney and Colonel Lamb, with the Confed erate troops, retreated south along Fed. eral point, to New Inlet. They could re treat no farther; had no defenses; and were captured. Both Whitney said Lamb were wounded. All the works on Federal Point have,been captured by the Federal troops. Seventy-two 'cannon and a•number of prisoners, variously estimat ed at from one thousand toi twenty-five hundred, have been captured; Wilming ton is not yet taken. It is thirty miles north, of Fort Fisher. The! Cape Fear river is not closed by this capture; for it has another entrance south of, the New Inlet.. Bydicious maneuvering, how ever, if the Confederates. have no large force to oppose him, Porter may be able to effectually close the entrance, yet two large forts have'yet to be taken before he can hive undisputed possession of the harbor. The Federal loss in the assault upOn Fort Fisher is reported at nine Min. dred. The magazine of the fort waa• blown up after it was captured, and two hundred Federal soldiem were killed and wounded. The Federal troops engaged in the at tack numbered seventy-nine hundred; sixty-five hundred being land forces and. fourteen hundred marine. and. sailors. The Confederate garrison of the fort num bered eight hundred.'. Six hundred Con federates were posted in various batteries south of Fort Fisher t and there were about fifteen hundred troops in' reserve at different points—three thousand in all. The Confederates were 'aided by iwo steamers in Cape Fear river. The 7oues on neither side are yet accurately report ed, but there is no re/idioms that any Confederates were captured but the imme diate garrison of Fort Fisher, eight hun dred in number.

This ba gratify ing news-T-if true—to all who are liable to the draft especially. Having been on its "lmtdegs" dear knows - how many times— having had its, "backbone" crushed, its "vital system torn out," its entire body entwined in the folds of the anaconda, obliged to "rob the cradle and the grave" to get men, and been "on the wane" for a lengthy period, one would surely be lieve that it could not purviie a crest while longer. A cat hai nine lives, we are told. but if the Republican papers are to be believed, the rebellion exceeds the feline familY•in the number of its lives as much as the 'Ah•lition leaders excel all other politicians in assurance and igno. ranee of stateimanship. _ _ state Debts, From the 'annual messages of the sever al 'Governors„ the Tountal of Commerce compiles tha following list of state debts : Pennsylvania. $39,370,603 Massachusetts • . 22,893.972 Ohio - • 13,500,751 Illinoi a 11,178,514 New York . 6,278,954 IPMEMMIMMO Maine.

Before the war Missachusetts bad a debt of only $8,521,972, so that the amount of increase by the war has been $14,372,000. The debt of Wisconshi has been:increas ed by the war $2,400,000, as her debt pre liously was only $lOO,OOO. The increasesof other States has been also large. New Jersey, the glorious litthr- Democratic "star that never sets," is the only State entirely free from debt. Po•r Butler! The old adage that 't whin a man ' is down, every begger gives him a kick," was never better displayed than in the instance of the renegade Butler. Two months ago there was not a Republican paper in the North that did not pretend to revere him as one of the purest patri ots,wiseststatesmen and greatest general's of the age., But Butler failed' at Fort Fisher, the Administration removed him, the final success of Admiral Porter squelched out all his military pretensions, and the result is, that of _those who so rapturously applauded him a short time age, not one in a hundred can be found any longer to sio him reverence. Zven the Buffalo, .Esiirsu turns up 'its nose at him, am will be Teen by the following from that journal: • "Why Butler should have accompanied the expedition at all—to say nothing of the assumption of• its command—when the • Commander-in-Chief declares dis tinctly thatit was never contemplated that he should accompany it, is inexpli cable. The natural inference is that he anticipated a gallant and successful affair, and attempted to deck kis own brow with laurels that would otherwise be enjoyed by General Weitzel. This is the way it looks to us, and much as we have thought °Menem' Butler, this Arco sinks him to a position nom-wale's-we laava ~ .4 0-0 . see him rescued. Unless he can put a new and e better feature upon his case, he should romainin retirement tis the just victim of that—`vaulting ambition which o erleaps itself, and falls on the other aide.' Poor Butler I ft was bad for him' to be turned out of command, and worse still that Porter should take Fort Fisher just as the: "conqueror ori New Orleans" was preparing to overwhelm :him with his testimony before the War Committee; but worst of all is the ingratitude of his pro fessed friends. He has probably rea lised by this time that "all is vanity and vexation of spirit." Hard s; Fry. Provost Marshal,General Fry is getting severe blows from the newspapers in every part of the North. His own party organs are, if anything, even more severe on him than the Democratic journals, as extracts which we have already quoted abundantly Show. The following, from-the Washing ton correspondent of the Chambersburg Reparitoty, a paper the "loyalty" (as the article goes now-s-days) of which will not be disputed, is a specimen of the general Opinion in which the unfortunate super intendent of drafting operations is held by Republicans even : "The confidence of the public in the administration of Provost Marshal Gen. Fry is entirely destroyed. Tue absurdity of his decisions is not only rendering him an object of contempt, but working great injustice to many districts and counties. According to a late decision of his, it mat ters not how many men any particular district sent in before Dec. 19, no oredit is to be allowed' for-them. Another deci sion : a substitute will be accepted for three years, but the person putting him in is given a certificate of exemption for only one year. r Again, he telegraphs all over the country that a three years' man is a three years' man, a two years' man two years' man, atid a one year man s one year man, and that is all he aays, and no one knows now what he means by, it, and it is questionable whether he knoiss him self. All this, however, may not seem strange when it is taken into considera tion that Gen. Fry is no friend of the Con scription law.' He pronounces it an ob noxious enactment. Hence it cannot be supposed that any public officer will exert himself to render a law of the land.agmte able to the people thereof, when he de blares he has no sympathy with the law himself. Insomuch as he annoys the people through his conflicting and unre liable decisions, just so much he heaps obloquy upon a law which he dislikes. If any one doubts this, let him consider for a moment the acts of Gen. Fry and their effects upon the people under and in con nection with this law sines first passed by Congress!' All the above is perfectly true, but -we cannot understand how those who der notmee den. Fry with such bitterness can continue to sustain Mr. Lincoln. The latter le - reprehensible for his appoint ment and for retaining him in a position which nhtertentiss of • the people believe he is no mare fitted for than a ten-year • old boy. - 11111rJohlt evetwoy, Eaq, ban boon sp. potato!
