tiertersition, will at last completely hide
his face under the snow."
, One of the editorial wrifers for the Tri
t hums was so impressed with the book that.
he wrote an article on the subject, argu
ing about it with apparent seriousness,
.and in a manner which some readers sup
posed to be rather favorable than other
wise to the ,dootrine. 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.

"Well, I'll read the article," said Ben

"It will make a good handle against

"Oh, I don't know," said Bennett.—
"Leilliem marry together, if they want
to, with all my heart." -
• For some days the Herald said nothing
about the matter, but the occasion of the
departure of a colored regiment from New
Perk city having called forth a very flat
tering address to them from the ladies of
thaLoyal League,the Herald saw a chance
to make a point against Mr. Charles King
and others; and the next day it containtd
, a terrific article, introducing miscegena
-1 tion in the most violent and offensive
° manner, and saying that the ladies of the
Loyal _league had offcred to marry the
` colored.soldiers on their return ! 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. The probability it tliMt
most of the others escaped across Cipe

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"

a lengthy period, one would surely be
lieve that it could not purviie a crest

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.
